On
Friday, August 14, Milwaukee was playing at home, leading Sioux City 4-1,
when it left in the middle of the seventh inning to go to St. Louis to play
in the American Association, which just approved it to replace the Cincinnati
team, with Milwaukee assuming Cincinnati's record in the American
Association. Sioux City is declared a
winner by forfeit over Milwaukee, which leaves the Western Association with a
59-36 record. This leaves Minneapolis,
with a record of 52-44, in first place, ahead of Omaha, which is 46-38. |

Minneapolis
(in first place), Duluth, and Lincoln fold, leaving Sioux City (52-46) in
first place. The Milwaukee team of the
American Association came to Minneapolis to play a series against Columbus
October 1-3. However, because of rain
and cold, only one game was played. On
Friday, October 2, Milwaukee beat Columbus 5-0 at Athletic Park behind a
6-hitter behind former Minneapolis pitcher Frank "Red" Killen. Until 1961, this was the only major league
game played in Minnesota. (The nine
games played by the St. Paul team in the Union Association in 1884 were all
on the road.) |
