St. Paul daily globe., 1889-06-17
WON IN THE SEVENTH.
An Exciting Closing Game Be-
tween St. Paul and Denver.


tween ST. Paul and Denver.
Umpire Cusick failed to put in an ap-
pearance at Athletic park yesterday
afternoon, and Kirby, the Denver
pitcher, was chosen umpire. In the
last half of the first he gave Denver
three runs by declaring Silch safe at
irst when plainly out, and the specta-
tors made it decidedly warm for him
the rest of the game. The excitement
increased in the second inning when he
cut off a st. Paul run by declaring
Tuckerman out ON strikes, the batsman
being hit on the third strike by the
ball, which rolled to the back
stop. This decision, however, was
correct under the revised rules,
The contest. was very close, which
caused the Onlo0kers to perspire freely
and talk necessarily. First Denver took
in the third inning: in the fourth the
Colorado team gained couple of laps;
but in the seventh St. Paul mixed a trio
of hits with errors and fine base running,
and made the score s to6 in favor of the
home team. DAILY clinched the victory
in the eighth by pasting the leather far
over the right field fence. The game
was called at the end of this inning to
permit the two teams to take the 5:45
train, ST. Paul going to Sioux
City, and Denver home. Silch
made a great catch of Tuck
erman's fly in deep center in
the fourth inning, and Werrick and
Wagenhurst did some pretty work in
the field. Hawes opened the initial
inning with good hit to center, and
was retired on Murphy's grounder to
short, the latter reaching first. Car
rolls hit sent Murphy along base. and
Reilly's hit scored him. Werrick's
ahead of Reilly ard first ahead of Wer-
rick. In the last half of the inning
Dalrymple waited for a base on bad
balls, took second on McClellan's
grounder to first, went to third on Tred-
ways hit to left, and scored on Farmers
high throw to catch Tredway at second,
the latter going to third. Rowe struck
out and Silch hit the ball to Reilly.
who threw a little wide to first, but
Hawes got back to the base in ample
time. Kirby didn't see it that way,
however, and called Silch safe, Tred-
way scoring. Doian then knocked the
ball over the right-ield fence, and
Shores, the seventh man at bat, was re-
tired from third to hrSt. In tne tnlrd
inning Hawes again opened with good
hit to right center, but was retired in an
attempt to take brace of sacks on it.
Dalrymple fumbled Murphy's dust-dis-
turber, and Carroll took base on balls.
Dolan took Reilly's high foul fly, but
hits to center by Werrick and Wagen-
hurst enabled three men to score. In
the fourth inning, after Silch and Do
Ian had gone out, the latter
on Shores grounder to short, Twine-
ham hit for double. and Pagan
for single, two runs crossing the rub
Der. Matters ran along this way until
the seventh, when Farmer, the first
man to swing the ''wagon tongue" hit
to center field for sack. Tuckerman
was retired on fly to right, but Hawes'
clipper went between McClellan's legs
and Murphy's got away from Twine-
ham. Carroll put in a good single to
left, Reilly struck out, and Werrick's
single brought in the fourth run. AS
before noted, Daily landed the ball out
side the fence in the eighth. Denver
tried hard in the last half of the inning
to add to it's score, but without success.
The attendance was about 1900. The
