Olmstead goes the
distance. The Millers had Red Killefer
on first with 0 out in the 12th when Frank Delahanty bunted. First-baseman Tom Jones tried to tag him
but missed, and Delahanty went back to the plate, thinking he was out. As Jones threw the ball to pitcher Dan
Marion, Delahanty took off for first.
Jones's throw to Marion was off-target, and Killefer went to
third. Despite a protest, umpire Hayes
stuck with the call. Bob Unglaub then
drove home Killefer. |

announce a post-season series involving the three leagues. The AA and IL finish in late September, the
