The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-09


Grand Rapids at st. Paul.
Detroit at Minneapolis.
Columbus at Milwaukee,
Indianapolis at Kansas City.
Goar was sold for $4,000 to the big
league.
He came back and yesterday he was
beaten by Roger Denzer.
How much will Denzer be worth to
the big league when the big pennant
race comes on?
Roger might have shut them out had
he pitched as good ball the first two
innings as he did the last six. Grand
Rapids never made a hit after the
third inning, the only men to get to
first being those whom the ST. Peter
pitcher INDUCED with bases on balls,
donations as sweet as circus tickets
to a newsy.
st. Paul played another errorless
game, two in succession. Fielding av-
erages are being fattened as well as
the batting figures.
But the batting figures did not gain
much yesterday. Goar is still a good
pitcher. Twelve hits is not many for
St Paul, and they were we'll scattered.
The game was slow, considering the
score. The reason was that both pitch
ers were a bit wild at first, and the
first few innings consisted largely Of
$50 people watching batters try to get
bases on balls. When they were in the
last ditch, and then only, would they
try to make an impression on the ball
with the stick. The result was a de-
pressing lack of life in the game.
Later it was braced up some, espe-
cially when in the fourth inning Den
ger, exasperated at having struck out
himself, famed three of the visitors in
turn, following with two out of three
in the fifth and two out of three again
in the eighth.
O'Rourke was unable to get the ball
beyond Mills in the first inning, but
Glasscock hit safe one to the right
fence. Burns flew out, but Wheelock
gave George lift when the side should
have been out. A wild pitch and a
passed ball scored GlasscOck, and
George came in on STATIONS two-bag-
ger. Picket struck out waiting for
four bad ones. Mcbride who did rot
have his eye on the ball at all the day
before, opened for his side with a two
base hit over the left fence and it
was apparent that close work would
be needed to keep the visitors from
scoring. Denzer gave Wheelock base,
and Gilks few out to Shugart, but Car
ney hit the ball. Denzer reached for
it, and nearly broke finger. Shugart
managed to round it up and get 1t to
first however, although Mcbride, who
had gone to third on wild pitch, was
able to score. Gettinger then hit q
safe one, and Wheelock scored Glass
cock took foul fly from Mills 1t
was a tie
Mcbride muffed Shugart's seemingly
easy fly, and the little short stop stole
second. Spies advanced him on a.
grounder to Mills, but Denzer struck
out. O'Rourke got his base, but Glass
cocks drive was we'll fielded by Camp
and the side was out without a run.
Smink went out, but Camp waited
for four bad ones. Goar struck out,
but Mcbride repeated his two base hit
performance, the ball this time bound
ing from the fence in right field. Camp
had stolen second and came home, so
the Gold Bugs were ahead. Wheelock
again got his base, but Gilks flew out
to Pickett
Burns hit a nice one to right, and
caught on a foul fly, but Pickett sac
rificed. Shugart drove the ball well
through the infield, and the locals were
again ahead, two scoring. Shugart
stole second, but Spies only hit to
Goar. Carney got base and Gettin-
ger hit safely, Grand Rapids fourth
and last safe hit as it turned out Car
ney stole third, and then the pair tried
to work the double. Gettinger was
pinned down close and ran out of line,
while Carney did not get away from
third. Mills gave George a fly and
O'Rourke threw Smink out at first
Denzer struck out, but O'Rourke got
his base and went to second on a balk.
Glasscock hit to Goar who played for
O'Rourke and got him, and Burns re-
tired the side on a grounder to Whee-
lock Denzer struck out Camp, Goar
and Mcbride, breaking the latter's two
base hit record.
George hit safely, but Stratton forced
him out, and was caught himself try
