The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-17

ana the leaders,.
But it was hard work.
1t took ST. Paul fourteen innings to
properly thrash Columbus.
Minneapolis needed eleven to suf-
feiently discipline Indianapolis.
But they both won out.
What's the matter with the Twins?
They're all right. See?
The greatest game played in the
Northwest this year-in one way at
Ieast-was that which occurred at Au-
rora park yesterday afternoon.
And Comiskey was not there.
He is fishing at Pine City.
delegation of fans wired him last
night to stay there until he heard from
them. His absence does not seem to
affect the game materially.
But if there are any more of those
extra innings soon, Capt Pickett 8
hair will turn white. He looked like
sheet of paper until the locals struck
their batting streak in the fourteenth.
Scrappy? Well, rather.
1t was just in the start of the tenth
that McGreevy, tall young man from
Ohio, pitched a low one. 1t collided
with Tim O'Rourke's leg. Tim moved
the leg, but he did not move it the
right way to keep it out of danger. Nc
Greevy thought Tim stuck his walker
in front of the ball. He suggested that
possibility to the umpire. Clarke
couldn't see it that way. McGreevy' 8
Scotch, or Irish blood, which ever it
is, was up in an instant, and he started
to choke the umpire out of the game.
Mr.. Clarke was mixing up for a
three-round set-to when Joe Cantillion
promptly ran in from second base and
parted the belligerents. Clarke had all
the best of it, for he fined his assail-
ant heavily and put him out of the
game a much more effective resource
than having to swear out a warrant
and appear in police court next morn
ing. 20 asss .s1ss t4s --
Pete Daniels, who had not yet played
with the Columbians, hadn't had time
to warm up, and he showed his mettle
by going into the box just as he was,
at moments notice, and holding the
locals down, even with the handicap
of a man on first base, without a run
for four innings.
At the close of the tenth, Inks, hav-

That grand stand is a very bad place
for people with govt or heart disease.
A spectator might forget about a tooth
ache, but his bloodpump might miss
stroke or two at one of the most ex-
citing crises, and there would be I'M
pleasant consequences.
1t was a rafting game from start to
finish. McGreevy's opening appearance
was rather inauspicious, as O'Rourke
made safe hit. Glasscock, however,
forced him out, and Kraus only
reached first on an error of Mccormack
at third. A pair of pop ups retired
the side with two on the bases.
Butler did as well for Columbus as
O'Rourke did for ST. Paul. Cantillon
advanced him one. and after two were
out, Genins' safe hit scored him, giving
the Buckeyes the lead at the start.
Pickett tied it up in hard knot
with a home run. Shugart hit safely.
McGreevy and Wilson tried to catch
him between first and second, but Can
tillon dropped the ball. That was the
first place the visitors lost the game
Butler took two long flies, and
O'Rourke's two-bagger over the fence
scored Shugart
Hassamaer made a two base hit to
left, and Shugart fumbled Wilson's eff.
fort. Mccormack tried Shugart again
but this time a double play removed
Wilson and Mccormack from the field
OF action, Hassamaer scoring. Nc
Greevy gave Shugart fly, and it was
two to two.
Kraus opened the third with SHARP
drive straight through the diamond
George waited for four balls, and
Burns sacrificed. Kraus scored wher
Pickett gave Parrot one which hi
failed to unravel. Two were on base:
when Parrot retrieved himself in 8
measure by a catch of a high liner

Columbus lost the game. O'Rourk,
