St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-07-03

That the st. Paul team-last in the
race though it is-can bat, can field,
can run bases, and can win games was
concluSively shown to the four or five
hundred people who took in the contest
yesterday afternoon. The Apostles
played ball from the tap of the gong till
the last man was out, and the MllWau
KEGS were simply not in it. The only
event to mar the exhibition of the ma
tional game was the injury to Meekin in
the first inning. POOrman hit the third
OF fourth ball pitched a hard rap, and
the plucky pitcher attempted to stop 1t,
the result being blow on
the middle finger of the right
hand, which brought the blood and
retired Meekin from the game. He is
not mentioned in the score sheet be-
cause of his leaving the game Oh the
first man at bat. Mains, although he
had pitched on Sunday and Tuesday,
had to finish the game, as the local
management now has but two pitchers.
He was hit hard at times, but the field
ing behind him was superb, and the
visitors had poor luck in getting men
around The only approach to an error
was Days drop of fly, but by quick
recovery he retired a man at second.
There were so many pretty plays that
the spectators were kept applauding a
large part of their time, but the phe-
nOmenal piece of work of the game was
done by Broughton in taking with one
hand ThorntOn's foul fly. O'Brien, the
new second baseman, made his
initial appearance on the home grounds,
and the crowd was with him from the
start. His fielding was quick, pretty
and accurate, and his timely drive to
Iof fol fNDn
the local aggregation at bat, smashing
the third ball pitched Oh top of the
fence at right center, from which point
it bounded into the cow pasture beyond
and Murphy made the circuit. This
was the only run Of the first inning. In
the second the Brewers took the lead
on MOrrIssy'S base OIL balls and AlbertS'
hit over the fence at right. No runs re-
suited to either team in the third, but
st. Paul forged ahead again in the
fourth. Abbey hit one to Shoch too
slow to field. O'Brien sacrificed him
to second, HaWes' single sent him
to third and fleet-footed Chilly"
stole second, the pair scoring on
Broughton's line hit to left. The next
inning was the picnic of the game, and
the great Thornton was pretty well
hammered. Mains sent the sphere
got safe one out to center. DAILY hit
the ball to short, who picked off Murphy
at second. Abbey's double to the left
garden scored Mains, and O'Brien's sim
gle added two more to the rapidly grow
ing tally. Phillips then smashed the
ball to right, and Petit threw it under
the bench where the Milwaukee players
were sitting. 1t became blocked, and
the score for the inning flew up to five.
No more runs resulted until the eighth
inning, when Phillips led off with a hit
to left. Broughton secured the only
present of a base for the day by Thorn
ton, and hits by Burks and Mains
scored the first two, BurkS being
caught at third Oh very pretty
throw from Petit to Alberts
AT this point occurred the one ''chump''
play of the day. With Mains on first,
Murphy popped up fly over the plate.
The ball fell on fair ground, and Muir.
ply was, of course, caught at first.
Mains stood as if transfiXed fifteen feet
off first, and suffered himself to be put
out without moving. In the same inn
ing Milwaukee scored one on two SIN
giles and a sacrifice hit, and in the ninth
one more on double, sacrifice and a
single. The two clubs meet again this
afternoon, when the batteries will be
Mains and Broughton and Davies and
.Jantzen. The game will begin at 3:45
Pete Sweeney, late of the st. Louis
Browns, has arrived here, and will play
third to-day. The score:
