MERGER FAILED TO MAKE GOOD MILWAUKEE PIRATES GAVE HIM HARD POUNDING. Team Could Not Find Struklett and Was Shut OutrCoulter Had an Off Day in the FieldOnly Three Hits for the Millers. Bpeoial to The Journal. Milwaukee. June 2Manager WatklnB tried out a new pitcher here yesterday and the trial was a successfor the local team. The Cantillon colts took revenge for the defeat of the day before and shut out Minneapolis by a score of 7 to 0. Strlcklett was in the box for Milwaukee and had the millers at his mercy at every stage of the game. Ho did not strike out one of the visitors and only allowed three ljits. Two of these were of the scratch variety. Berger was easy for the heavy hitters of the local team. Stone. Schaefer and Bateman pounded him for three hits each. Wolf and Stone found the Columbus cast off for two-baggers Bateman touched him up for a home run. Minneapolis connected with the ball, but .popup flies and infield drives seemed to be about all they could looate. In the field Coulter had a bad day and missed a couple of driversgrounderswhich he should have handled cleanly. The visitors did not get a man to second base until the seventh inning. On account of errors by Schaefer, Minneapolis had a chance to score In the ninth. Maloney reached sec ond on a single and a bad throw, and Coulter boosted him to third. Fox was supposed to bring him across the plate, but failed in the attempt, being thrown out at first on an infield drive. The play was fas^. but, struggle as they would, tho millers could not get away from the hoodoo Berger seemed to be working under. The attendance was small.
