The game of base ball between the st. Paul
and Bay City teams yesterday afternoon at
the West Seventh street park was full of in
terest from beginning to cad, the deciding
run being secured in the last half of the eighth
inning. The home team let in runs in the
| first and fourth inning but got on an even
footing by scoring twice in the sixth In the
eighth, Davis, OF Bay City, hit to center for d
base and reached second before Foster could
field the ball in, he having fallen on the
| rough ground at center. McGunnigle
popped up fly to second and Robinson
brought in Davis by hit to left Robinson
was retired at third and Turbidy
at second. The batting of the visitors was
place. If anybody here ever had any doubt of
Tillev's ability to play all over left field
that doubt would have been dispelled by see
ing the game of yesterday. He accepted six
| chances and made no errors. We notice,
too, that his throwing from the field to the
home plate is beautiful, and 1t is safe to say
| that it will be harder work for men to steal

pitching is OF that ordinary character that
merits no favorable comment. In the two
games he has appeared'in the box the base
hits have not been seriously numerous, but
he has simply been smiled upon by fortune
and has had strong outfield to back him.
About two-thirds of the Bay City batters were
put out on flies, eight OF them to left and

have made every one of the eight safe hit
Camel is not used to his pitching, and let
two balls pass him. Hengle, at second, was
in fine form, retiring six men, assisting
once, and making no errors. Foley's work
at third was usually good. George Nettle-
toms short stopping was marred by two
errors, and O'Brien had hard day
of it at first letting three thrown balls pass
him that he might readily have stopped. One
of these lie got ia time to retire man COM
ing down to the home, plate. Fosters assist
in cutting off a man from center to home
was a splendid performance. The Bay City
team plays a steady game all around. The
greatest weakness seems to lie in McGunni-

lights, but be displays no particular strength
either as fielder or batter. Foutz's pitch
ing was more freely hit than was expected,
but he was suffering from a boil on the back
Of his neck, and this of course divided his
attention. Davis throws from third to first
in fine style, but is sometimes rather slow in
picking up the ball. We regard Turbidy,.
however, as the best player in the team. He
covers every point in the short field, bats
well, and when on bases runs for home,
sweet home, with the speed of wild fire on
the praries.
The game opened with ST. Paul at bat, and
Foley, Henglc and Nettleton were retired be-
fore reaching first. Morrison began opera
tons for Bay City with two baser to left,
got third on passed ball. and reached home
before Towards fly could be fielded in from
left. Foutz sent another fly to left, Cud-
worth reached first on O'Brien's failure to
hold thrown ball from short, and Davis
popped up fly to first. In the second Til
ley got to first on balls, but O'Brien, Foster
and Barnes went out. McGunnigle popped
up a fly to second. Robinson made a base
hit to left stole second and got to third on
an aggravating throw of pitcher to second
when the base was not covered. Turbidy
drove the ball down to place between home
and third from which it could not be fielded
in time to catch him at first. Watkins sent
a fly to center and Foster fielded it to the
plate in time to cut off Robinson. For St.
Paul nobody reached first Morrison
led off with base to left. Howard hit to
short, who stopped Morrison at second.
Foutz drove fly to left and Howard reached
second. Cudworth got life on shorts
tumble, Howard going to third. Davis made
Il base hit between home and third. and Nc
Gunnige ended the inning with fly to sec
ond. Hsngle opened the fourth with fine
two-baser to right and stole second.
Nettleton gave the pitcher hot fly,
who turned about and cut off Hengle play
ing off second. O'Brien got his base on
thirds tumble, Ti!ley drove grounder to
third, and was retired at first. Robinson
got his base on shorts muff. Turbidv sent
an easy grounder to second who sent it to
first. but O'Brien failed to hold it Robin
son was all this time moving for home, but
O'Brien got the ball in time to nip
him at the plate. Turbidy stole
second, played a long ways
off the base, and Nettleton turned about and
threw the ball to second uncovered, the run

Watkins and Morrison failed to reach first
in the fifth. st. Paul did nothing. For Bay
City Howard was retired on fly to left.
Foutz drove the ball to right, and Barnes got
it to first in time to cut him off, but O'Brien
didn't hold it. Cudworth and Davis went
out on flies to second and left On the sixth
things were warmed up somewhat. F. Net
Teton struck out, Foley reached first on bad
balls and second OF Hcngles single to cen
ter. Nettleton popped up a fly to center, the
runners going round base. O'Brien put
in good hit to left, Foley and Hengle scor-
ing. Tilley reached first on seven bad balls,
but Foster stopped the run-getting by send
ing grOunder to second, who nipped him at
first. For Bay City Robinson got first on
balls and second on passed ball, the others
going out. In the seventh Barnes reached
first on pitchers fun bic, but he was not backed
up. For Bay City Howard made two-base
hit, and made third while Foutz was being
put out from third to first. He died there
however. st. Paul opened the eighth without
reaching first. For Bay City Davis sent the
ball to center for one base and got another
while Foster was recovering from a fall
MeGunnigle popped W \ fly to second.
Robinson hit good one to left and Davis
earned a run. Turbidt got TO first on
grounder to pitcher. who chose to put out
Robinson at third. Turbidy was nipped try
ing to steal second. Tilley opened the
ninth with fine hit to right and Foster adj
vanced him base on hit to left. 1t look
ed like another score sure, but Barnes sent a
grounder to third. who stopped Tilley, who
was forced off second, and got the ball to

ended the game with a little fly to pitcher
