Su 4/24	at Columbus Senators, rain			In the rain, the Millers had a 7-2 lead in the fifth.  After the first Columbus batter went out in the last of the fifth (two outs before it became a regulation game), the fans stampeded onto the field.  With the rain still falling, the game was called because of rain a half-hour later.  League president J. Ed Grillo ruled that it was a rain out and the game would have to be replayed, although he said that Minneapolis would receive its share of the gate receipts.

	*Berger's totals include games played with Columbus, and DeMontreville's totals include games with Indianapolis in 1904.  (The newspapers never identified DeMontreville as being Lee or his brother Gene.  However, Ed Washuta, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research, found an item in the May 14, 1904 Sporting Life that confirmed that the DeMontreville with the Millers in 1904 was Lee.)
