St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-08-15

The Saints led off with two runs the
first crack out of the box. O'Rourke
got his usual base on balls and Irwin
and Stratton worked in good singles.
George was hit and O'Rourke was
forced home and the second run was
made by Irwin when Pickett's drive
to the pitcher was fumbled. The Mill
ers went the Saints one better in
their half of the first. Hulen started
it with double over the fence and
advanced to third when LaIly few out
to George. Werden flew out to Pick
EFT, then Frank singled and sent Hulen
home. Straus raped her over the
fence for two bases, and Werrick sent
a long single into center and scored
Frank and Straus. Kraus missed the
third strike on Kuehne and the latter
beat it out When he went away to
steal second Kraus made feint as if
to throw the ball to Pickett and this
lured Werrick off the third bag. He
was neatly caught and retired.
The Saints took the lead again in the
second with two runs. Camp got his
base on balls and kraus sent a double
into left, Peppers long single sending
both men across the plate. The Mil
lers didn't score then till the fourth,
when they tied the score after two
men We're out. Wilson and Blackburn
got in good singles and Wilson scored
on Hulen's second double over the
fence In the fourth, fifth and sixth
the Saints failed TO score. In the
sixth the AIillers took large fall out
of Pepper and piled up five runs, which
made the st. Paul rooters sick at
heart. Werrick got a life when Camp
had TO get off the bag in catching Ir-
wins throw from short. Kueilne sin
gled to right and Wilson got a two-bag-
ger over the fence and sent Werrick
across the plate. Hulen sent a double
over the fence for the third time,
and Wilson scored and Hulen came
home when O'Rourke fumbled Lal-
ly's drive to third. Werden's double
TO right scored Lally and that ended
it. In the seventh the Saints rallied
to the extent Of four runs, in which
they were materially aided by Black
burn. Irwin got his base on balls and
Stratton flew out to Hulen. Irwin
scored when George dropped long
double into center, and George came
home on Pickett's single against the
right fence and a wild throw from the
field. Burns died at first and Camp.
kraus and Pepper went to first on
balls as fast as Blackburn could pitch
them, Pickett being forced home on
that account. Camp was forced
home when O'Rourke was hit on the
shoulder. It was rather strange in this
inning that no one could hit the ball
when the bases were almost constant
" filled.
THE FATAL SEVENTH.
In their half of the seventh the Mill
erS got four more, and then it was
thought the game was settled beyond a
doubt. Werrick hunted and got first.
and kuehne singled to center, Wilson
hit to pitcher and Werrick was re-
tired at third, and then a. wild throw
by kraus 70 third let Kuehne and
Wilson home. Blackburn got his base
on balls and Hulen followed suit. Lallv
died at first and Perry Werden sent a
long double crashing into center and
sent in Blackburn and HuIen. The St.
Paul fans had no hope now, and they
little expected that there was more
runs in store for our side. In the
eighth Stratton was struck and took
frst. George hit to second and the
ball was juggled, bat CantiIlion by a
very bad decision declared Stratton
out. However, it made little difference.
for Pickett raped the leather for a
home run and two more were added to
our string. The AIille1-s' half of the
eighth was blank, and then the Saints
came in for their final swing at the
bail. It proved a, good one. and won
the game. Pepper got his base on
balls, and had no sooner landed on
the initial bag than Tim O'Rourlze
drove the ball over the right field fence
Tor home run. The crowd went wild.

Mlilers' score, and the excitement was
