fMiller, out in left garden was the bright particular star of the game.Before the rooters had forgotten a running catch of a line fly from Davis’ bat, which he pocketed on the ungloved side while running at full speed, he enlrely eclipsed what was an excellent effort. Tommy Leach, the first batter up in the fltfh, connected safely and sent the ball traveling far toward the crowd in left field., Miller started as soon as the ball, ran backwards perhaps sixty feet, turned with the ball and seeing he was still likely to lose it, took a headlong dive, arousing the spectators. They spread and he gradually dropped to the earth as the human cusion gave way before his weight. But before enough time could elaps to raise 'doubt as to his having actually made the catch, Miller appeared on his feet holding the ball. Umpire |Cantillon declared Leach out, and even Manager Clark had nob the hardihood to venture other than a mild protest against the decision.— Chicago Tribune. •The Chicago team was not brilliant in spots, but furnished one steady glow. Miller in left perhaps did the most spectacular fielding. One of his five chances was a long run for Lefty Davis’ foul., 'A moment1 later he caught Fred Clarke’s liner. This happened in the first inning, ; and in the third he made a head-first dive for Clarke’s smash that was intended for the fence, and received a noisy congratulation from the crowd when he l^eld the ball with' his right hand. Later he threw the speedy Tannehili out when the southpaw tried to stretcha pretty ', hit into a double.—Inter Ocean.Mr; Potts Again.•' ItlTYTfrwr* T * -»---__'
