AROUND THE BASES.
Notes From the Flour City Dia-
mOnd,


The convenient and easily accessible
location of the base ball park, together
with the comforts and cOnvenienceS
provided by the management for the
local patrons of the national game,
have done much to win over the people
of the city and make it one of the great
est ball towns in the West. The num-
Der of confirmed cranks increases
every day, and the number of
ladies in the grand stand and the boxes
is more than gratifying to the lovers of
the game, as we'll as to the owners of
the team. Many of the best people in
the city attend the games in family par
ties, and it is becoming quite the thing
among society people to watch Sam
MOrton's hired men i'll their contests
with the various clubs of the associa-
ton. 1t is no longer an uncommon
thing to find ladies who take sufficient
interest in the game and have sufficient
knowledge of it to keep the score and
applaud the fine points OF the play.
The Millers have played very salts
factory engagement during the series
just finished OIL the home grounds.
They have met every team in the asso-
citation from the struggling Cream City
aggregation to the naughty Apostles,
and have won fully their share of the
games, taking eleven victories in seven
teen contests and pulling up from sixth
place to fourth, and having touched-if
only for brief twenty-fOur hOurS-the
coveted 500 mark in the percentage
column. The team left for Omaha last
night in much better form than it landed
on Flour City soil on the return from
the first trip out, and, with Manager
Morton along to look after the men,
there is no reason to fear that the team
will not come home at least as high up
as at present.
1t is hard to explain the feeling which
seems to exist among the cranks against
Capt. Hengle. Sam Morton says it is
because ''Moxie" plays for the
team and not for the grand
Hengles' hits are usually singles
made at critical moments, and a care
full review of the score of each game
will show that his hits have given more
advances to base runners than those of
any other member of the team, unless it
is Joe Miller, the ''old side horse" In
view of this fact and that Hengle's work
on second has been very good, as his
fielding average will show, it is hard to
explain why an excusable error on his
part brings Kisses from the crowd,
whereas other players may make far
worse plays without losing favor in the
eyes of the erratic cranks.
There is rather amusing story go
ing the rounds about an old English
man living on Hawthorne avenue, who
had never seen base ball game until
the other day when, after much pursua-
sion, his son-in-law, who is a regular
and enthusiastic attendant of all the
games, induced him to witness the first
game in the Denver series. After
play was finished and peO-
pie began to go out. the
young man asked: "Well, father, isn't
that magnificent? What do you think
of the game?" The old man, however,
after expressing himself as much pre-
JUDGED in favor of cricket growled out,
"Yes. of course you like it, it's so thor
Oughly American. Lots of crash and
bang and hustle and men get credit for
stealing"

SIX ON A STRIKE.
Several louisville Players Still
Refuse to PLAY.

BALTIMORE. June 15.- The strike of
the six Louisville base ball players con-
tinues, and they refused to play this
afternoon. The Colonels, not wishing
to inconvenience the local management,
and recognizing their mistake in not
being in readiness to play yesterday, at
a conference this noon. offered to play
if Manager Davidson would remit the
500 fine each for non-appearance. The
other fines for errors they wanted sub
mitted to the Judgment of the associa-
ton. Donaldson refused to make any
concession, or to furnish the players
tickets back to Louisville. Manager
Davidson announced this evening
that he had fined each of the
striking players all additional 500
for failing to report at the grounds. He
and President WykOf had consulta-
ton, but nothing came of it. The men
remain steadfast, and declare they will
not play if the fines go. Davidson says
he will secure new men as soon as pos
sible, but expects it will be a week be-
fore they can be obtained. He will
continue fining the strikers every game
they fail to report, and if the worst
comes to the worst will suspend them.
Two games were to have been played
to-day between Louisville and Balti-
more, but a heavy rain storm stopped
the first game at the end of the fifth
ming. and preuented the other. Three
amateur players were called into re-
QUESTION by Louisville. The Baltimores
won the game i'll the first inning, when
theV secured four runs. Score:

COULDN'T HIT CLARKE.
That Explains the Defeat of Nor
tons Men.

For the first time this season Mime
apolis played full nine-inning game
on the home grounds and failed to get
man across the plate. Clarke was
puzzle, and Minnehan, Hanrahan,
Miller and West were the only men
who solved him for safe hits
during the entire game, and Reddy
spoiled the effect of his hit by going out
in desperate attempt to reach second.
The last inning was the first one in
which the home team got more than one
hit. In that inning, with two men out,
Joe Miller planted the ball in the mid
die garden for sack and West put
it in the same place for base. Foster
came to the bat, and after getting three
ence of $500 people, who had defied
the rain to see the end of the
game, stood up and held each
his individual breath. Clarke
was evidently bent On striking out his
man, but the next one was foul tip,
and then came another twisting over
the plate. Foster met it and the ball
went spinning out over right
center on line. 1t was a hit,
clean, pretty hit and no
fielder had any business with it. 1t
was going to hit the fence but Jimmie
Cooney had no better sense than to run
long way beside the fence, jump up
in the air, stick out his hand and let the
ball stick there. That settled it so far
as runs for Minneapolis were concerned
Minneapolis played a better game than
Omaha, and had the locals been able to
hit Clarke at all the victory was their.
Miller wasn't in good form somehow,
and the first man who went to atseemed
to realize it.and he sent Joe a grounder
which he fumbled, giving the man
base. Mitchell followed IL up with a
base on balls to Cleveland. Strauss
sacrifice advanced them base each and
then Jantzen let a ball 20 Though him,
allowing Cooney to score and Crooks
hit brought Cleveland across the
rubber. In the second Nagle
who was first to bat, got a single, and
then Andrews, the big first baseman,
mauled the ball over the chicken net
ting for four bags, bringing in two
earned runs. The next two men struck
out. and then Cooney made short hit,
but was caught attempting to steal sec
ond. After that the home team began
to play ball. and Clark and Crooks were
the only Omaha men to reach first base

Boston Wins a Game From
the Senator's on a Couple
of Hits.

The st. Paul team entertained the
young men from Denver yesterday aft
ernoon. The Colorado players were
pretty well discouraged by their long
series of defeats, and the Apostles
played an exceedingly loose game, ap-
parently to revive the dropping spirits
of their guests. One of the leading
characteristics of the st. Paul team is
generosity, and its kindness stopped
over to such an extent in the third mn
ing that the visitors sent twelve men to
bat, scored six runs, and the locals made
a basketful of errors. The Saints under
took to undo their work to some
extent in the eighth inning. but UNI
pire Cusick considered the action of the
boys as rude and untimely and put a
check to their ambition. Out of num-
Der of peculiar decisions, the GLOBE
selects one in this inning and asks MIR.
Cusick for an explanation. Murphy,
Carroll and Reilly had scored. nobody
was out, and Werrick, WagenhurSt and
Farmer were on bases: Broughton hit
a fly to Mcclellan, vino purposely failed
to catch it. Farmer ran down to sec
ond. Werrick ran home from third with
out having retured to the base, Wagen-
hurst returned 10 second and after
wards started to third. but Nc
Clellan sent the ball there ahead
of him. Cusick called Broughton
and Wagenhurst out, left Farmer at
second and allowed Werrick's run to be
counted. BrOughton was evidently
called out on the tlv. but in that case
Farmer and Werrick were forced to re-
turn to their bases and Wagenhurst to
second Had Broughton been called
out for refusing to run the other out
would have been correctly decided, but
it wasn't noticed by anybody in the grand
stand that Broughton refused to run.
AS indicated by subsequent develop
mentS the decision cost the local
team at least four runs. Pagan,
who was pounded for twelve
runs in single inning, when
here with Des Moines, pitched a great
game, striking out nine men and being
hit safely only seven times. Mains was
not specially effective, but most of the
safe drives of the Colorado batsmen
were made after chances had been made
to retire the side. Wells. the new ac-
QUESTION of the st. Paul team, pitched
the seventh and eighth innings, and
was hit safely but twice. The features
of the contest outside of those already
mentioned were the batting, catching
and throwing of Dolan, and a fine fly
catch by Murphy. The score follows:

JACKSON AT MINNEAPOLIS.
The Colored Champion Appears in
the Flour City.
Jackson's four-round sparring exhibi-
tion. with Tom Lees, ex-champion OF
Australia, at the Theatre C0mique last

night, attracted a large crowd Of
local and st. Paul sports, and
they were all satisfied. The
exhibition was lively enough
to give a good idea of the black
mans boxing abilities, and he is beyond
est bic 'uns ever seen in Minneapolis.
His reach is something wonderful, and
his form bespeaks great power, as
we'll as staying qualities. In
ducking and awarding punishment he
is the equal if not the superior of Car
diff, while full-arm blow from his
right must be something like
the kick of a mule. Jackson
will give another exhibition at st. Paul
on Monday night.

HOW THEY STAND.
Relative Positions of the Teams in
Three Leagues.

The St. Paul team is showing de-
cided tendency to become more sOciable
in the last few days, and it is quite evil
dent that there will be something of a
contest for the pennant after all.
Since Pickett and Sowders went to
the Kansas City team there is not
such a wide difference between
the Apostles and their competitors, and
Omaha and Sioux City are about as
good to bet on as flag flyers as st. Paul.
The Northern quartette- Paul, Mil
waukee, Minneapolis and Des Moines-
start on their second southern trip to-
day, and pretty shaking up is likely.
st. Paul will not make the
phenomenal showing of the first swing
around the circle, while Minneapolis
and Des Moines will do considerably
better. Milwaukee is in even worse
condition than on the initial trip, and
good guessers give the team about four
weeks to live. st. Joseph is beginning
to buy players, and better playing may
be expected from the Missouri team.
The record to date is amended:
