St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-04-28

as slow as molasses in January, and
moved as if they had lead in their
boots.
1t was one-sided game, resulting
in a score of II to in favor of st.
Paul, and of course the fans guyed
the locals numerically. But the
talent was there with good reasons
for the defeat First, somebody had
to get the worst of it, and Yesterday
was not Barnes busy day..
Coniskey's men won the game fair
", and for the reason that they out
played the Minneapolis men in the
field, and because they hit the bali
oftener. This does not necessarily
mean that st. Paul has the. better
uncertain.
1t is impossible to more than guess
at the relative strength of the two
teams at present. st. Paul is proba-
bly, the stronger in the out-field. espe-
cially at center. Werden is stronger
than Mullane at first base, but this
advantage is overcome by Pickett
superiority over Werrick at second.
Honors are easy at short, and whether
or not Kuehne can equal O'Rourke at
third is at least doubtful.
In yesterdays game st. Paul had all
the best of it so far as pitchers We're
concerned Johnson was effective, eX-
cept in the first inning, and received
excellent support throughout the game.
For Minneapolis, Fryer was hit almost
at will until the fifth inning. Duke
-, inn h1lt
wild as a mallard duck. If he succeeds
in overcoming this fault he will be
very strong, as he has great speed.
Tanning, who pitched the game out,
was most effective of the three.
In batting, if records are considered,
Minneapolis has a shade the advantage.
St PauPs great advantage will proba-
bly, be in Pickett's superiority over
Werden as captain, and IN the superior
team work this will produce. The
teams are closely enough matched to
make the games interesting, and there
will be many bet made that st. Paul
cannot repeat yesterdays performance
with any degree of regularity.
Lefty MARI distinguished himself on
the St. Paul side by three long two
base hits, and Burns, of the locals,
distinguished himself by a homer. He
extinguished himself later, however,
with two of the rottenest errors in
the outfield that it has recently been
the lot of mortal man to witness.
The first inning opened with a pro-
mise of a hot game. Johnson'S first
ball hit Hulen, and Struss hit safely.
Werden hit a grounder, and Hulen
started for home. Several minutes
were spent in trying to catch him,
finally succeeding, and then ST. Paul
delayed the game, claiming that
Strauss, too, was out because the ball
had been within so or 40 feet of him
on one occasion since he left the plate.
Lally flew out to Van Dyke and the st.
Paul rooters, of course, claimed that
the side ought to have been out.
Burns put the ball over the fence and
the st. Paul rooters called the umpire
thief
Smith VS. struck out, and again the
Pigs Eye men called the, umpire a
liar. But better luck followed and
two runs resulted
Joe Werrick hit safely in the second
but was forced out at second. a double
play resulting. Fraser did not reach
flrst. Two-baggers by DOYLE. Camn
and Mari, with a single by Van DYKE
gave the visitors four runs in the Ia ct
half, and the lead was never regained
The locals did not get TO first base
In the third, and turned the tables on
st. Paul a, moment later.
In the fourth, Lally hit safely. onIv
to be forced out at the second Inv
Burns. Kuehne hit safely, and gave
Burns the signal for a double steal
but Burns did not take the tip and
Billy was caught off the bag. Mar,
made another two-bagger, and errors
by kuehne and Burns gave the visitors
three more runs.
Hulen hit for two bases in tho fifth
but died at second. Duke went in re-
pitch and struck out two men, hit one
with the ball and let the fourth mar
pop up to Burns.
In the sixth the locals did not reach
first again. MARI made another two
Dagger, and Duke gave four bases or
balls. A lively double eventually ended
the inning, when only three runs haf
been scored, the last of the game
Both sides thereafter tried in vain r.
get around. Only one play rose above
the level of mediocrity and that was
Strauss running left catch of a low
fly from Camps stick Smith though
1t was going to the fence, and could
not get back in time to prevent 3
pretty double play The score:
