The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-28

Detroit at st. Paul.
Grand Rapids at Minneapolis.
Columbus at Milwaukee.
Indianapolis at Kansas City.
1t was real generous of the Saints
to give the Millers three games and
help them in their race for the pennant,
for they'll need them when they get on
the trip.
Who wants the Hoosiers to have the
flag, anyway?
Besides, ST. Paul will play with De-
troit today for third place, and no one
doubts that they could have beaten
Minneapolis just as easily as they did
Detroit yesterday, except that they
wanted to help their little sister city
get the streamer.
Detroit played a nice game, but 1T
was not quite fast enough. Besides
the ST Paul team was especially re-
organized for the occasion, partly by
Manager Comiskey and partly by Frank
March, the new umpire. Kraus was to
catch, by Comiskey's schedule, but
when March called O'Rourke out on
strikes, and Tim resorted to bad Ian
guage, he was put out of the game,
and Kraus had to play third base.
Hollingsworth replaced Shugart at
short, being the first game Shugart has
missed this year, and Glasscock went
TO second, while Comanche Comiskey
played the initial bag.
Fifield was in the box for the Tigers,
and as indicated before, his strike out
of O'Rourke was inauspicious, espec-
tally as Stratton followed it with high
foul fly. Glasscock, however, drove
hot ball through Hunky Hines re-
serves and stole second. George wait
ed for four balls, and Glasscock scored
when DUNCAN let Burns single get by
him. Comiskey hit safely and scored
George, but was caught trying to get
to second on it.
McGill was in the game for the first
time since the Fourth of July, soon
after which date his hand was broken
in the morning practice. He lacked
control at first, and the first three
Tigers up were in turn sent to first on
balls. Two Of these, however, were
impatient to get to second and were
cut off by fine throws by Spies. The
third was forced out when Gillen
batted.
Hunkey Hines was playing short, and
he was playing it we'll He and
Whistler had the second inning mo-
nopolized. Then Hunky got a base on
balls, but was caught on sharp
double play started by Frank Kraus,
who had taken the place on third which
O'Kourke had expected to fill.
The third again saw the locals try
in vain to reach first, Stallings making
a fine catch of Glasscock's high fly.
Twineham hit a hot grounder to Kraus,
which bounded and struck him in the
face. Kraus, however, threw the De-
trOit catcher out at first base before he
6n hi
inside and out, and after patching up
the dents with court plaster, continued
the game. Fifield was presented with
a base by McGill, and Nicholson thrust
a shoulder which he was not using in
the track of wild pitch. Burnett sent
grounder to Kraus, who covered the
bag and got Fifield, and then tried to
get Burnett, but in vain. DUNCAN,
however, gave Comiskey a grounder,
and the side was out.
George drove another hot one down
at Hines, and Hunky this time over
looked a bet. That is to say, he did
not get the ball to first base before the
gentlemanly runner had patted the saw
dust sack with his TRIBES Burns then
sacrificed That is he hunted the ball
with intent thereby to advance one
George to second base at the cost of
his own ambition. Gillen, who plays
third for Detroit, watched the sphere
ambling slowly down the sand, and
put down both his hands that he might
squeeze it tight, and make sure it was
a standard league ball His extraordi-
nary care was fatal, for the wilful thing
rolled right over both his punches of
phalanges while he gazed at it in un-
utterable establishment. Comiskey roll
led the ball down to first base and the
other runners advanced ninety feet
each thus bringing George where he

until he looked like the second half of

over Gillen's head, and scored Burns.
and Kraus lined the ball out for two
bases. McGill hit safely, and that scor-
ed Kraus, while Strattons single scored
the pitcher. Scott, however, was caught
trying to steal second, and the side re-
tired, with only five runs for the
Inning. Gillen got base on balls, but
Whistler gave Burns a fly and the next
two outs were forced at second in short
order
Glasscock hit a hard one through
Hines skylight to signalize the opening
of further hostilitieS. George hit the
ball several blocks, but Burnett went
down Fuller street far enough to catch
1t when it came down. Burns waited
while four of the untamed passed his
position, and then walked to first
Comiskey gave Burnett hard run
In from the garden where he had been
shooing hens, but the Tiger got the
ball. Hollingsworth and Kraus hit
singles, and those who were not in al
ready came in on Dungan's bad throw
from right field to the alley under the
grand stand, except Kraus who was
left when the side was retired How
ever. three runs had been acquired.
making a total accumulation by the
thrifty Apostles of ten.
Twineham hit safely and F'ifield was
given another base. Then came the
bright particular star play Of the game
and 1t was beauty if there ever was
one. Nicholson sent the ball sailing
toward the east with a slight defiec-
ton toward the land of the midnight
sun. 1t was a little too far back for
Hollingsworth and as much too far
front for George, but Hollingsworth
refused to recognize any limitations
of distance, time or police authority
