St. Paul daily globe., 1895-08-06

tile brewers was won partly IN a
driZzling rain, which, however, was
not severe enough to dampen the
ardor of the Saints, and they went
at Baker, the albino, and hit him
as easily as they have hit the other
phenoms that have been brought
up here with pedigrees a mile long.
All these phenoms who posed in the
East have been exploded in the cold,
practical West, and between the
Saints and the A1illers they have lost
more reputation than they ever act
ually possessed.
Baker is undoubtedly the best
pitcher the Brewers have But that
doesn't make any difference to the
Saints. They hit one usually as
hard as another, and Baker was
no exception. In one inning they
made a monkey of the wilite-haired
boy, and hammered him for three
Dagger, a double and four singles,
thereby bringing in and earning four
runs. These hits were not necessary,
for the game was already won, but
the boys didn't want Bake to go
away from here with the idea that
he was a puzzle to them. Those six
hits were only a parting stab, just
a touching up for fun. Old boy
Johnston, unlike Baker, proved
difficult nut to crack He had one
of his good days on, and played with
Larry and the gang. They did lar
rup him for ten safe hits, but most
of them were struggling and didn't
count for anything. In the fifth in
ming they raped him for a three
bagger, a double and a single, but
there is reason for it. Rain was
threatening, and Johnston, in his
hurry to get the necessary five in
nings played, simply tossed the ball
over the plate. The Brewers took
advantage Of it and made those hits.
Johnston steadied down after that
and the Brewers went on
FANNING THE WIND.
The work of the st. Paul team
was faultless. They played without
an error. Every position was per-
fectly played. Irwin at short was
at his best, and is credited with
several superb plays. O'Rourke, with
his few assists, did nobly, and Burns
in center pulled down two long
drives that would have been home
runs if they had not been ably
flelded. In both instances Burnsey
had to turn his back to the ball and
run like an Indian, then turn sud-
denly and nail the fly. They were
excellent catches. The work of the
others was excellent The Brewers
were a little ragged on five occa-
sions, and in one inning they all
seemed to have glass arms. They
couldn't throw the ball correctly at
all when good throws were a neces-
sity.
The game started off fright smart"
and it looked as if it was going to be
a hard fight. So it proved for the
first half, after which the Saints
went at Baker and pummeled him.
The Saints didn't score in the first
two innings, and the Brewers failed
to score till the fifth. In the third
inning, after Johnston and O'Rourke
were out, Irwin drove out a pretty
single into center, and at once stole
second. He went to third on a
wild throw to second, and kept
right on across the plate on a wild
throw from center to third. Two
more runs were added to the Saints
list in the fourth. Camp singled
over the initial bag and Pickett fol-
Wi I,.;x,
the fence for a home run. Burns
hit the first ball pitched, and the
ball started in the direction of the
center field fence. The crowd thought
it was another home run, but the
ball touched the edge Of the fence
and bounded back into the lot, Burns
didn't get home. In the fifth the
gong raped out another run for us
on Stratton's corker to right for two
bases, and he came home on Camps
hard single to center.
Irwin started trouble in the sew
enth by lamming out home run,
and Camp, feeling little jealous OF
the gentlemanly shortstop, ham
mered out another in the same terri
tory. That was all in that inning,
but the fun continued in the eighth,
when Boyle got his base on balls,
and took second on Johnston's clever
bunt. Boyle went to third on a
wild throw and came home on
D'Rourke's caught fly to center. In
The ninth inning the Saints took on a
HARD BATTING STREAK
and earned four r1hs as fast as the
pitcher could pitch and the runners
run. Stratton started off with sin
gle to center and came home on
Georges hard three-bagger to oehter,
