St. Paul daily globe., 1884-07-05
Minneapolis cs. Bay City.

The Dudes won the game on their merits. 1t
was prominently game OF the battery so Tar
as the home team was concerned. Pearson
occupied the box and he did himself proud.
Eight of the Bay City's made three frantic
efforts to hit his ''bicycle curves and only
disturbed the gentle Fourth of July air. He
gave one man his base on seven balls, how
ever McCauly caught one of his ordinarily
fine games, but did have the misfortune to
drop one ball, giving runner a base.
There were quite a number of close deci-
sions, which some Minneapolis people took
exceptions to, but the general verdict is that,
although he seemed disposed to call Pearson
down pretty sharp on balls, the umpire did
not intend partiality. If he did, it made no
practical difference in the results. In the
error column Andrews is charged with two
errors Zone being exceedingly aggravating)
and Isaaeson is charged with one. He went
out from his base and fumbled grounder,
in the eighth inning. The others have
clean scores.
For the visitors Fautz, the famous
Northwestern league twirler, occu-
for seven hits, with total of ten. Besides,
several good hits were made which, hckily
for his side, landed out in long field just
where a man stood to take them in. Wat
kins on second base alone made an
error, having made wild throw in the ninth
inning, but as no run was scored it was not
costly. The only costly error was called
balls, allowing Murray to get first in the
eighth inning, on which he Tailed when
Reid made two-base hit. Davis was the
only man who made the entire tour Of the
bases, and he found the home plate on
passed ball.
The Minneapolis club were the first to
WELD the willow, beginning with Andrus,
who sent an easy grounder, which was picked
up by the pitcher in time to toss it to first.
Then Murray was retired by the umpire on
three called strikes. Reid followed with
cracking base hit, but died there for Nichols
sent long fly which was taken in the right
field The visitors failed to reach first base
in the first two innings, and Minneapolis
failed in the second and third, but
in the third inning Turbidy took
his base on balls, and stole second and
third In the fourth inning Minneapolis
got the first run in the game. Murray
Il
out at second on Reid's hit, third baseman
assisting. Reid stole second and then
secured the home plate on Pearson's elegant
base hit Nichols meanwhile had been Civ
en- his base On seven balls, and on Pearsoh's
hit he passed to third, Pearson running to
second as the fielder undertook to throw
Reid out at the home plate. Here he was
left, and Nichols died on third base, Casey
tanning the under side of the ball three
times The fifth and sixth were handsome
ly played innings, but no runs were made by
either. although Robinson got so far as sec
opd in the fifth and Howard got to first in
the sixth inning, respectively.
In the seventh inning Isaaeson got in one
of his proverbal safe cracks and got home
on McAuley's two-base hits, although McAu-
lev was retired at third
base in his endeavor to
to stretch two-bagger into three. For the
visitors Davis here struck two bases. Cud-
worth and McGunnigle were both easily re-
tired, when -Robinsons hit carried Davis TO
third. From this point he successfully
sought the plate on passed ball, scoring the
only run which Bay City made, Furbidy go
ing out at first. In the eighth inning Parker
and Andrews both went out at first, the third
baseman assisting. Murray was given his
first on balls Then Reid is credited with the
hit of the game. He sent the sphere away
out right field and with good running secured
the third bag, bringing Murray to the score.
Nichols left him holding down third by going
out at first on the assist by the pitcher. On
the ninth naught but goose eggs was the re-
suit. Following is the score:
