Mr.. William Henry Watkins distinguished
band Of Indians received theirs in bunch at
Nicollet park yesterday afternoon. Iney wan
dered out on the diamond with the calm ana
confident air Of whose mother-1n-laW mas
gone to the mountains for the summer. Iney
had won two games and had Clcotte, thelr
mighty twirler to call upon for the third VIC
tory. They confident as democratic
candidate for governor in Texas, and as mercl-
full as mad dog. They proposed to show the
ticker-reading population OF Indianapolis mat
they were something in the way Of banplayers
and that Minneapolis was merely eh1lorens
playground for them.
Pride brethren and dearly beloved, always
hiketh in the fore of nasty fall. Indianapolis
found this out to Its sorrow in the eleventh In
ming of the game. The SORROWS or Alice OF Olo
Vtncennes were as naught when compared Win
the mustard plaster that the m1llers pinned upon
the boosters in the grand remuda Of yesterday.
For seven innings Minneapolis was what the
captain Of the Forty fifth street sluggers calls
'skunked." They played baseball with about
as much enthusiasm poisoned rat Cicotte
the distinguished French naturalist. was out in
the pitchers box and handing tortillas and
mescal shoots and the locals were swinging at
them, and when they didn't swing Stephen A
Douglass Kane, the arbitrator, was calling them
strikes Stephen, tho, was more to be pitied
than profaned The plate was swinging for
the little man and his glimmers were on the
blink. He honest as the day is long but
his Judgment was equal to that OF the Chicago
police magistrate who fined the parrot for
swearing,
Cassius Cadwallader the Krag-Jorg for
the locals and. while he was fairly stingy. he
hit with too much frequency in the sixth
inning, and two runs were scored by the hoOsier
delegation. They had slammed out in the
second and another in the third, and this grand
total of four looked as big to Minneapolis In
the eighth as quinine pill looks to ma
larial kid.
After doundering thru seven acts Of baseball
melodrama and tragedy, the score stood 40 in
favor of the boosters. The ptkers and knockers
in the stands had been singing gaily and casting
the spear and assegai with great JUNCTION. They
chortled in their glee and hooted at the fans
who were roofing. The chain gang in the
press box made the first demonstration in two
years and started roofing fest that was Joined

Don Cesar De Bazan Davis couted Cicotte for
single. Heinrich Fritz Sullivan also plastered
one to the distant alfalfa. James Hart, dean of
the College of Applied swatology, smeared out
a third bingle to right and Edouard Gustai
Greminger, the Swiss mountaineer. put the pike
Into an inshoot which was good for three bases
and Edouard is no Nancy Hanks the long
run at that, altho he can go some. Greming
er's smash had brought home everybody that
had any desire to score, and the big cheese

ninth and tenth there was nothing doing. Mr.
Cicotte had faded away and Johnny Fisher wal

In the eleventh the boosters were muzzlet
safely, altho Behring's sensational throw alon,
saved Holmes from scoring, the heave cutting
him off by two feet at the plate. Sullivan hat
been canned for brushing dandruf off the Goa

Minneapolis came in and Andrew J. Oyler wa
too evasive for Fisher and walked. Yaege
pulled off celever sacrifice and Captalng VII
liam Thunderbolt Fox came up.
Fisher had not been paying proper attention
to the dope of the year, and thought Fox wa
batting as he did in 1904. He did not tax

He sailed it in with a nice little grandstan
heave. William jumped into it like grocer

a fine clean single out over the hoos1er thir

fireworks start. Padden's paralytics are comm
