Tribune as "the wildest that has taken place
there [Nicollet Park] since Umpire Brick Owens became involved in a mixup
with Mike Kelley and his Millers back in 1906." Kilduff punched umpire Frank Connolly in
the chin. Kilduff, Duncan, and coach
Johnny "Red" Corriden were ejected.
After the game about 1,000 fans followed Connolly and umpire Jim
Murray to their dressing room. Three
policemen escorted the umpires from the ballpark. |

| Mike Kelley is hit by a car 3 blocks from the Millers' hotel in
downtown Louisville and breaks leg.
Kelly and Corriden had gone out at noon to buy a western newspaper so
Kelley could check the progress of the Western League Des Moines team, of
which Kelley was a half-owner. He was
elated to read the headline, "Des Moines Club Clinches Pennant,"
and then was hit. Corriden went to the
hospital with Kelley, and Middleton managed the team on Tuesday. |
