The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-15

Indianapolis at Grand Rapids.
Columbus at Detroit.
Kansas City at Milwaukee.
There a young pitcher named Parker,
Who never was aught but corker;
He shut out st. Paul
With no trouble at all
And the Saints pennant show is much dark
er.
st. Paul was whitewashed yesterday
for the first time it has been done this
season. and at the close of the game
the Minneapolis fans presented Dr.
Harley Parker, M. D., who recently
removed to that city from Grand
Rapids with a quit claim deed to the
entire city.
Minneapolis team played fine ball
yesterday, and the young physician,
who fancies the diamond more than his
scalpel and materia medica, received
magnificent fielding support
Lally played a whirlwind game in
left field, taking in six flies, four of
which looked like safe hits when they
left the bat Connors and Ball also
distinguished themselves, and Moran,
the substitute catcher. played a nice
game at first base after Perry Werden
was put out of the game for threat
ening to knock Roger Denzer's head
off with a bat.
You see, in the fifth inning, Perry
got notion that Denzer was trying
to put him out of the game by hitting
him in the head with a pitched ball.
and as Perry only has one head, he
did not want to lose it, So he ran
into the diamond and shook his bat
under Denzer's nose and was going to
hot l.,
he said, if he ever tried that again.
And it came to pass that there were
certain and sundry st. Paul rooters
: in the grand stand, and it was about
the first chance they had had to get
into the game, so they demanded with
no uncertain sound that Werden be
removed from the game. Caruthers
had to remove him, too, for the first
st. Paul man at bat, Tim O'Rourke,
was sent to the bench for questioning
the umpire's decision on a ball which
was dubious to say the least.
Then Werden was madden than ever,
and he was going to go out and take
smash at Denzer anyway, but Will
mot grabbed the big fellow by the
throat and choked him till he was
black in the face, after which he was
sent to the club house to get into his
street toys.
They did hay Denzer out, finally.
however, for in the ninth inning Con-
norS nearly sawed the st. Peter boys
leg off with a hot ball. Roger man
aged to pick the sphere up again and
throw it to first, but he lost all inter
est in the game Immediately after.
Fricken finished the game, but there
was not much left of it,
The game of the Apostles was I'M
decided. They could not hit the ball
effectively, the only ones to get it
away from the feeders being Twitch-
ell, Glasscock and Spies. They were
better in the field. George and Twitch-
ell distinguished themselves, George in
particular making some fine running
catches. Hollingsworth played at Jack
Pickett's place, second, and ate up
everything that came in his way He
did not hit the ball safely, however,
although he gave Lal1y and Wilmot
occasion for two distinctively grand
stand plays.
The Millers began the bombardment
of Denzer with the first man up. Con-
nors hit safely, and Lally tried to sac
rificc, but the ball went into the air.
Wilmot lined the ball out for three
bases, and Schriver gave Twitchell
long drive. Wilmot scored on the
throw in. Werden hit another three
Dagger, but Preston gave Twitchell d
fly, and the side was out.
Caruthers had called two strikes on
O'Rourke when Tim protested, and
Bobby sent him to the bench Kraus
was put in, with the two strikes on
him, but he sent the ball to Kuehne
and went out. Hollingsworth hit a
hard one, and it looked as though it
would be safe. but Lally got it in the
far corner of left field, and, although
Glasscock and George managed to get
to first on Parker's wildness, Burns
gave Parker a chance and went out
st first.

Denzer struck out Kuehne. and Par
ker gave George fly. Ball sent9a hard
one between Burns and TwitcheH. and
Connors flew out to Larry. So -ia
Twitchell was hit by the ball the
first time he went to bat, and the open
ing was suspicious, but Shugart, in
trying to bunt, struck out Spies gave
Connors a hot one. but the second
baseman covered his own sack and
then sent the ball to first and the side
was out.
Minneapolis went out one. two. three.
and three flies ended the Apostolic half
OF the inning.
Werden smashed the ball over the
right field fence to open the fourth, and
Preston followed suit. The next three,
however, went out SO the situation
was not SO strained as it might have
been.
Glasscock hit to Parker, and went
out. but George was hit by a pitched
bali. Burns gave kuehne a fly, but
Twitchell put the bali in the open and
the FIRST safe hit for the Apostles was
scored. George stole third on it. Shu-
CART waited for four balls. and Spies
could have tied the score with home
run; but instead he sent a foul fly
into the air. and Schriver took it in.
