•f ALLEGED GAMES.dyTWO OF THEM WERE PLAYED IN TDK, PRESENCE OF A DISAPPOINTED AUDIENCE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.t-\0It in probably not too much to nav that no audience wore ever go thoroughly dis | appointed as was that which assembled at the ball park, Sunday afternoon, to wit j nlt;*«s the two frames advertised to takeg l | ,place there. It was a fine audienoe and mini 1m*red not less than 2,000. It was what Is known in the diamond parlance as ‘‘rotten ball” so far as the (Minton and y J Dubuque clubs were concerned. Thw were no score cards and those who did not ’ personally know the players could not t«*ll t who it w as that had made either a good or j a had play. This Was a great injustice* to f the people who have given the cluh such f 7 , good patronage during the summer. It I ! was an iui[osition on the public not to* have bad Miller in the !ox for the Du ’ -j buquoi, so that they might stand an oven j | chance of winning the deciding game, j* Rut he wits** saved0 for yc*stlt;*nlay so as to t ■-1 “defeat* * the Chicagoes. The Dubuqucshave done several things during the season that have nettled the people of this citywho have been their patrons, but Sunday s J(action cupplt;*d the climax, Heal should have been taken out of the Imx aft«*r the lirst inning. The (Mintons were not { quite as “rotten' as the Ihiubques, hut their playing smelled strong enougii for all practical purposes. There were exoep j, tions, of course in both of the defeated clubs and brilliant work was done, such j as the hatting of Keas and Taylor—tin* latter making a home run and playingwell otherwise—and the pitching of Miller j. in the last two innings The C«*dar Rapids boys wens loaded for bear, and such fine Uitting its they did was never liefore witnessed on a diamond in Iowa, r Two out of every three hits they made wen? safe and they knocked out singles, doubles and t ripples whenever they felt like it, and also a home run. Rut it is ^ only making a hail matter worse to keep on with such a nauseating subject.
