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

Something like an old-time crowd
turned out at Athletic park, yesterday
afternoon, and sizzled through hot
afternoon, watching the inspirited and
rejuvenated Apostles pound the life and
hope out of the remnant of the Pride OF
Iowa. 1t was a good audience and EN-
braced many of the one-time favorites;
shut" said Manager Watkins, lit was
not vet what it should be. though we
cannot get out the people as long as we
play over there" The crowd was coat
less and vestleSs, and the sun beat down
on the diamond with t0rrid feryor, but
such weather is conducive to good ball,
and good ball it was. A StOcky. red
faced young fellow named Hart, who
had shut out the Apostles Friday, APP
peared again in the box, loaded with
confidence and several new curves; and
when, in the third inning, st. Paul still
had no runs, and Murphy three times
found hole in his bat. the aforesaid
Hart smiled pityingly and the crowd
wept. But the Apostles had Roland
for the Oliver of the IoWanS, and when
the Somber-visaged Meekin, with the
same hole in his right stocking and a
patch of court plaster on his finger,
struck ont five out of a possible six In
two innings, the audience felt comfort
able. The game was what is known to
the technical report as pitchers battle,
in which Meekin had shade the best OF
it. mainly through his superior support.
Harris one error, after two men were
out, gave opportunity for single and a
home run, scoring four unearned runs.
Meekin struck out nine men, and got
two put-outs and four assists. But for
his WidnesS in the first inning, DeS
MOineS would never have reached third
base during the game.
The contest opened with burst of
speed for the Apostles that did not last
long. Murphy got first on Flannagan's
muff off Patton'S assist, and was sent to
second by Daly's single to right, but
Abbey flew out, O'Brien forced Murphy
at third, and Sweeney struck out. Des
Moines did better. Patton got first OIL
balls and was caught trying steal.
Traffiey got four balls minute later,
took second on passed ball and scored
on Stockwell's long single to left. But
that ended the run getting by the
Iowans. They played with dash, and
Clare's foghorn melted them to superior
effort, but the solemn curves of Meekin
were entirely ''toO technical" for them.
Three clean singles and two scratch
hftS-slOw ones toward third--were
their total batting results.
In the meantime, it much resembled
shut-out for st. Paul. Finally, in the
fifth, after BrOughton had struck out,
Meekin and Burks got bases on balls
and Murphy sacrificed them along one
base. Burks was caught off second,
and when the ball went out there
Meekin quietly trotted In with the first
run, which was due to Burks' clever
running. In the seventh there was
circus. Halves led off by striking out.
Broughton got base on balls, second
on wild pitch and third on Meekin's
sacrifice. With two men out, Hart
fumbled Burks' hit and Broughton
scored. Murphy then followed with
single and DAILY pounded the ball over
the fence, chasing in two runs ahead of
him. In the eighth Hart threw O'Brien
out at first and then hit Sweeney with
the ball. Halves hit safely to left. and
Traffiey's wide throw to second and
Broughton'S hit in the diamond scored
the last two runs. Score:
