Tarps Save Senators Home Game In Rainy Finish

The Charleston Minneapolia game was played under a protective tarpaulin after a thunderstorm, enabling the Senators to host the Millers. Joe Bonkan officials noted the tarp cost about 3800 dollars funded by season-ticket refunds, with John A. Shanklin presenting it to the city. Miller hitters led by H Foster Castleman had a big night, as Miller victory kept their win streak alive while the Senators bid farewell to home games until July 10. A crowd of about 2005 watched a 14 of 23 affair, with the Senators finishing 16-23 at home for the season and the Millers pulling away late for a 6-3 win.
