Bay CITY as. st. Paul.
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 lasth 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 a
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
heavy, but the ball was seldom sent to a safe
place. If anybody here ever had any doubt of
Tilley's ability to play all over left field
that doubt would have been dispellcd 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
home than it was formerly. f. Nettleton's
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 outfeld to back him.
About two-thirds of the Bay City batters were
put out on flies, eight Of them to left and
center field, and the merest accident would
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 a hard day
of it at first, letting three thrown balls pass
him that nc might readily have stopped. One
of these he got in time to retire a man com
ing down to the home plate Fosters assist
in cutting of u 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 McGunn1-
gle, captain and right fielder. He has played
ball long enough to be one OF the shining
lights, but he displays no particular strength
either as Il fielder or batter Foutzs pitch
ing was more freely hit than was expected,
but he was suffering from 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

The game opened with st. Paul at bat and

up fly to second. Robinson made 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 fieded
in time to catch him at first. Watkins sent
a fly to center and Foster fielded it to the

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, Tilley drove grounder to
third, and was retired at first Robinson
got his base on shorts muff. Turbidy 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 long ways
of the base, and Nettleton turned about and
threw the ball to second uncovered, the run
ner scoring before it could be returned.
Watkins and Morrison failed to reach first

City Howard was retired on fly to left.
