The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-24

hit to center. Wood and Mccarthy hit
grounders to Pickett and while they
both went out, Hogriever went to third
base. Then Motz drove the ball over
the left fence just shade beyond the
nome run pole, and two runs were
earned for the Hoosiers. Stewart
struck out.
Burns opened the seventh with a
safe hit, but the next thing was a
grounder from Pickett which Shannon
stopped almost over second. The little
Celt stepped on the bag, and threw to
first in time to catch Capt. Jack, COM
pleting the third pretty double play Of
the game. Shugart gave Mccarthy
another fly, Scheibeck went out on a
hill to O'Rourke. Shannon hit safely,
but Cross gave Pickett a fly, and before
shannon knew that Pickett had it, 1t
was caught and he was too far from
first to go back. Needless to say the
crowd was getting all kinds of excite
ment for it's money.
Spies opened the eighth with a live
one that had electric sparks on it as
1t passed the pitcher. Cross made a
Jab at 1t, but thought of his fingers and
did not touch 1T. Shannon tried to get
1T, but he, too, only succeeded in break
Ing it's force, and it remained for Stew
art to pick it up, but by that time it
mad lost it's value, as well as it's heat,
for Spies was so close to first base that
a Calling could not have gotten the
ball there in time to cut him off Frick-
en-, however, struck out O'Rourke
gave Hogan fly. Glasscock got his
base on balls, but Kraus could not
drive them in, giving Hogan another
fly. Hogan hit safely to left field and
went to second when George let the ball
pound OH his leg. Hogriever hit to
Fricken, who threw to O'Rourke, and
the latter waited for Hogan to come
down and be put out. Hogriever tried
to steal second, but Spies throw was
too much for him. Wood gave Burns
fly and that ended the eighth.
George opened with hot ball to
Shannon, whose fingers were already
tingling with badly burned sensation
from previous accidents Burns could
have tied with a home run. but he
struck out. Pickett had the same
chance, but he merely forced George
out, Stewart throwing the ball to Shan
non. The latter threw to first, and 1t
was close there, but the umpire de-
clared Pickett safe. Then Shugart was
the last resort. A couple Of times he
sent fouls sailing over the grand stand.
but finally he hit the ball frontwards
1t went toward right field, and Ho-
griever thought he had it to cinch.
But instead of dropping into his hands,
the ball fell over his head on top of the
fence, just beyond the home run pole
and went down between the boards.
Hogriever dropped into the gateman's
chair in a dead faint, while Kraus, who
was saving his shoe leather by staying
in the field, danced a sand jig on the
grassy carpet. The crowd went liter
ally crazy. Seat cushions sailed

the air, and it was several minutes be-
fore order could be restored and the
gamins driven back into the bleachers,
which had been deserted in the wild
rush. Spies rolled one to Stewart and
1t was so easy that Asa just made
Jab for it-and let 1t go through his
legs. F'ricken, however, gave Hogriev-
er a fly, and Indianapolis had a last
chance.
Mccarthy struck out, and Motz gave
George fly. Stewart, however. hit a
hot one through the field, and Schei-
beck sent one to Shugart, which the
home run star failed to muzzle Both
runners were safe Then Shannon
came and he met the ball for a right
field hit 1t looked like a sure two
base hit, but the line was too low and
the sphere struck the net Stewart
thought 1t was over sure, and kept
on running. KrauS was on the ball in
an instant, and, by a superb throw to
the plate, gave Spies the ball while
Stewart was still two or three yards
from the goal. Hogriever again had
an attack of heart failure, but 1t did
not result fatally. Watkins chalked up
a few fines on his men and the game
went on.
O'Rourke gave Stewart an easy one
and Glasscock gave Hogan another fly.
Kraus went to first on balls, but George
forced him out
Phillips went in to bat for Cross. but
struck out. Hogan gave George a fly
but Hogriever put the ball over the left
field fence 1t was dangerously close to
the home-run pole, but it fell on the
near side and it was only a two-base
hit Wood, however, could only give
Pickett chance, and Hogriever was
left
1t had been agreed to call the game
at the close of that inning, and it was
done, so the Hoosiers left st. Paul with
out winning a single game. They did
come very close, however. 1t was the
nearest to shut out that ST. Paul has
had this season. Score:
