The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-10

A game between Grand Rapids and
Louisville would be interesting.
Grand Rapids has played as fast ball
here the last three games as Louisville
did in that exhibition game at Aurora
park.
But they're neither of them in it
with st. Paul.
They are weak with the stick. Time
and time again yesterday they had
chances which, if improved, would
have brought them out winners.
But they could not hit the ball.
Twice with two men on bases and
only one out, Phyle struck out the next
two men. 1t happened that each time
Lew Camp was one of the tanners, for
Lew famed out yesterday four times
out of five. Another time they had two
men on bases and no one out, but Nc
Farland sent a low liner to Pickett,
and Gilks, thinking it was safe, strayed
too far from first. A double play did
the business that time. So it went.
Parker pitched nice game, except
in the sixth, when he let down. Wheel
ock, however, permitted O'Rourke to
get to first just the same as though
Harley had opened with the tradi-
hit, and Burns sacrificed George sent
a two-bagger into left and two scored.
A passed bali sent the hard hitter to
third, and when Stratton struck out,
Smink failed to hold the ball. While
he was catching Stratton at first base,
George scored the third run.
Grand Rapids half was very, very
funny. Mcbride started bravely with
hard single to the left, but was forced
out by Wheelock. Gilks gave Glass
cock a foul fly and then Carney hit
sharp one to Phyle. The little fellow
stopped it all right, but was slow in
his recovery, and Carney beat it to
first. More than that Phyle threw the
ball over Glasscock's head.
1t struck the ground in front Of the
bleacher. bounded into the seats, from
that to the rail- and then caromed
along the rail to the back, where 1T
fell outside the fence. Carney ambled
about all the bases there were and two
runs were in. Gettinger wasted right
field hit before Mills went out.
Spies hit hard one, and O'Rourke
hit Parker a puzzler, beating it out
Glasscock hit for two bases and scored
them.
Smink opened the Yellow Jackets
half with a safe hit, but Camp struck
out Smink stole second and Parker
dropped one to Burns. Mcbride got his
base, and Shugart's tumble of
Wheelock's drive scored Smink, be-
side giving Wheelock his base Gilks
sent one up that looked as though it
might get lost in center field, but Burns
ran well and corralled it in the air.
1t was five to three.
Stratton was the only Apostle to hit
safely in the third, and the locals were
blanked. Phyle hit Carney a stiff one
on the upper portion of his left arm.
1T made that member smart, but Car
ney stayed in the game long enough to
be forced out at second by Gettinger
Mills sent fly to center and Burns
muffed 1t. The next two struck out
however, so Jim's error was fnexpen-
sive.
Spies hit safely, but two pop-ups and
an easy one to Wheelock gave the
locals another blank. Gilks came in to
play first base, Mcfarland taking Get
fingers field. Parker hit a hard one
to the right field fence, and Shugart
gave Mcbride a life. Wheelock sac
rificed, but Stratton took in Gilk's fly
and no one dared try for the plate
Mcfarland struck out, and Phyle was
safe again.
With Burns out, George hit a warm
one to left. Stratton hit the net on the
right fence well back for two bases
Pickett gave Wheelock a nice one and
the little short stop picked George off
at the plate. The other two runners
were trying to work a steal when Mills
and Camp were brought into the game
and got Stratton at third. Gettinger
went out, but Mills hit hot one which
the third base stopped Smink sent
another hot one through the sand. and
a Wild pitch advanced them both
There was only one out, but the next
two struck out and left them stranded
Shugart gave Gettinger a fly and
while Spies reached first on balls
Phyle forced him out. O'Rourke sent
hot one to right field, and Glasscock
waited for four balls, filing the bases.
Burns hit for the first time in the game
and scored two of them. George hit
another and filed the bags again
Parker gave his third base on balls. and
forced in the third run. Pickett had
the bases full, but he only gave Nc
Bride fly
Mcbride dealt the ball terrific blow
and when George finally caught IN
with IT in the hot sand near the car
riage gate, the Mickety was on third
.Wheeiock drove the bell over the right
fence and that gave the visitors some
announcement. Gilks singled, but
Wheelock dared not score Mcfarland
gave Pickett a line catch, and GiIks
was caught mapping at first on q sharp
double, while Gettinger's easy one to
Pickett left Wheelock at third.
Camps bad throw gave Spies a life
In the seventh. O'Rourke drove the
