The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-21

lahan exploded and Caruthers put him
out of the game for insulting and
obscene language The entire visiting
team left the field with the exception
of Klusman and Menefee. They want
ed to take their dolls and so home, but
Klusman would not hear 1t, and called
them back. They played a listless
game when they did go back, however,
with one or two exceptions. Nichol
made hard run for Shugart's drive to
deep center, but he had to keep track
of the ball over his shoulder, and when
he reached it finally, he could not quite
get 1T. Shugart reached second, but
sharp throwing to Nyce and by the
latter to the plate, caught Strafton
Spies and Denzer singled, but Hollings-
worth forced Spies out at third. The
inning had netted three more runs
When Menefee went in to pitch, Lake
took his place at second, and Blanford
went into the back stop. The last
named could not hit the ball out OF the
infield, and was out when Nyce hit a
nice single to center. The short stop,
however, seemed to have given up the
game, for when Menefee sent fly to
Stratton, he kept on running and all
Scott had to do was to throw to Glass
cock at first and get double play.
In the sixth Menefee gave George a
base on balls, but all the other three
could do was to hit the ball into the
air, and the visitors began to brace
Denzer was an equal puzzle, however,
and they went one, two, three, in the
sixth.
Menefee gave Spies a base in the
seventh, but two had gone out on
dainty pop ups, when O'Rourke got
first on a lucky hit which bounded
badly for Hatfield. Hollingsworth was
struck out with two men on bases.
Hatfield hit a hard and high liner
but Shugart went into the air and got
it. CaD1pau struck OUT but King
made a two base hit over the fence
close to the foul line. Blanford got q
base on balls, but Nyee gave O'Rourke
fly and ended the inning.
Menefee retired the locals one, two,
three, in the eighth, with the assist
ance Of the team, who were now play
ing pennant winning ball. Then he
came to bat, and sent a hard one to
center field. Twitchell had plenty of
time to judge it but dropped
it, and that gave the visitors their
start; Menefee found no reason
to stop short of second. Lake
hit safely, to left and scored him.
but Nichol drove the ball over left field
fence, for two bases. Hatfield hit a
hard one to right field, and the visitors
needed but one to tie. Campau went
out, but he advanced Hatfield, who
scored on Kings single. Blanford
went out again leaving the game in
doubt.
Three outfie1d flies ended the locals
usual game, making the second sue
cessive inning that they have failed to
make first base off Menefee in any way.
Nyce sent TwitcheH fly, and he held
it, but Menefee hit for a single and
Lake for two bases. Only one was out,
and then it was exciting until Glass
cock made his sharp play and O'Rourke
clearly handled the last ball.
Denzer was first man up in the tenth,
and in spite of the fact that he had al
ready made one hit in the game, he
sent the ball ricocheting over every
body in a straight line for center field,
O'Rourke hunted. and the ball went
foul but Menefee picked it up before
Caruthers saw it, and Tim went out
at first. HollingSworth waited for
four balls. Glasscock, however, struck
out, Menefee fooling him on high ones
George hit the ball, but it went straight
into the air and Menefee caught it
when it came down. 1t was Jacks in
ming clearly enough, no matter what
year he pitched last in.
Hatfield hit toward right Glasscock
went after it, but had to give 1t up
and cover the bag. Hollingsworth made
a good stop, but juggled the ball for
an instant and in that instant Hat
field gained the sack. Campau, how
ever, forced him out, and narrowly es-
capped being doubled himself King
and Blanford, however, were retired
on outfield flies, and there was another
chance for the locals.
TwitcheH gave Nyce good one and
went out. Stratton hit a high one that
was in doubt until it dropped as to
whether it would be a home run or an
cut. 1t struck the netting and Stratton
went to second on it. Shugart hit a
hard one to Lake and advanced STRAIT
ton, who scored the winning run when
Spies hit a sharp liner to the left field
fence. 1t struck the fence near the
foul line, Campau claimed outside it,
but from the stand 1t looked as though
it struck between the foul line and the
white line just above 1t which marks
the border of one Of the "ads'' on the
fence. DenZer's sharp one was stopped
by Menefee ard he was out
George took two flies, his first chance
of the day, and Lake gave Holdings
worth a grounder. 1t was not strong
enough and the game was done
