The July 7, 1901 Minneapolis Tribune reports rumors of other cities trying to coax President Beall
and his team from Minneapolis. Beall
had moved the team from Sioux City to Minneapolis after the 1900 season. Attendance in Minneapolis has been
disappointing, and Sioux City was trying to get the team back. |

Minneapolis refuses to count the July 14 game as a forfeit loss
unless the president Thomas J. Hickey of the Western League declares
otherwise. Millers president Beall
says when the game was forfeited, the fans were ready to riot. As a result, umpire Sandy McDermott allowed
them to remain and play the rest of the game, but not as a forfeit. According to Beall, Des Moines president
Chase agreed to let the players stay in the game, but Chase later
reconsidered and claimed a forfeit victory. |

Denver had several arguments with umpire Tyndall as the Millers
took a 2-1 lead in the top of the 13th.
With two on for the Millers, Jack McConnell hit a drive to deep
center. Both runners scored and
McConnell rounded third and headed for home.
Denver shortstop Radcliffe, rather than trying to relay the outfield
throw to the plate to try and get McConnell, tried to heave the ball over the
grandstand. McConnell had a home run
to make the score 5-1, and Tyndall then stopped the game and declared a
forfeit win for Minneapolis. |
