St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-06-05

The old question, What does the st.
Paul team need?" hobs up again. Those
who have watched it In the five games
played since its return from Milwaukee
are at loss for an answer. In every
one Of them it has fielded superblv,
batted hard, run the bases splendidIy
and put lots of ginger into the work,
and yet these five games are scored
up against IL as five dark and
dismal defeats. The few st. Paul en-
thuSiasts who witnessed these contests
saw that of Sunday lost by an umpire
declaring hit safe which was plainly
foul. On Monday two little flies which
On grounds of proper size would have
been easy outs dropped outside the
fence and gave the game to the opposi-
ton. On Wednesday, in the ninth in
ming, a ball struck the second bag and
bounded in such way that neither short
stop nor second baSeman could get il, per
hitting the opposing team to tie the score
and afterwards to win the game, and
yesterday piece of dirty work bv Dali
rymple, preventing a double play, gave
the game to Milwaukee. This is the
bewildering situation. Could a man
ager hire with money a team good
enough to win if pursued by such I'M
broken ill-luck? Possibly the club
needs mascot.
Yesterday the apostles started out
with such rush that victory seemed GER
tain, but they landed with one score too
few. O'Rourke opened up on Smith by
hitting for single, Immediately steal
ing second and scoring on McMahon's
double. Meekin reached first on Grim's
tumble, OBrien secured a base for
waiting, and GoOdenOugh's gdouble
scored both Mcmahon and Meekin.
There were fmen Oh second and third
ana nobody out, and Hamburg had
1t i'll his power to win the
game. He. however, hit
short fly to left, on which neither rum
ner could score, Conley struck out and
Baldwin failed to reach first. In the
next inning another great opportunity
was missed. Hart pasted the ball for
single and O'Rourke for double before
anybody was out, but they were not adj
vanced peg. III the last half of the
inning Milwaukee took the lead Dal-
rymple hit the bail safely to left and
Earl sent a grounder 10 Conley, who
threw well to McMahon, but the latter
was prevented from making double
play by Dalrymple, purposely jumping
in his way. Umpire Knight was i'm
portuned to call both men out, but re-
fused as to Earl, and afterwards four
runs came in. Schriver hit to center
for two sacks, and Campion to the
same locality for one, Mcmahon putting
i'll an error on Green's grounder
Smith went out, but Burke got a base
OH balls and Petit brought in
the fourth run with hit to
right. In the next inning the
locals tied the score on Hamburg's base
on balls, Conley's sacrifice and Bald
wins hit. In the last half, however, the
Brewers again pulled away on Schoch's
hit, Dalrymple's sacrifice. Earl's dou-
bic and Meekin'S muff. After this, try
as they might, the Cream CITY bean
poles were unable to get around. st.
Paul scored the last run of the game i'm
the sixth on Harris double and two
sacrifices. In the eighth Champion put
III q good shot to left field, on
which he got to second, but
was called out for cutting first
base. Outside of DalrympJe's dirty
work IN the second the game was quickly
and cleverly played. The local team
played with great deal of ginger and
made plenty of noise on the coach lines.
Meekin's work in the right garden was
the fielding feature. The score follows:
