The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-01

up and gave the ball a terrific drive,
which carried it high into the air, but
far as well, for it went over the Fuller
street fence far beyond the home run
pole, and that made three runs for
Minneapolis. Pickett looked after the
next two, and the damage was over.
STATIONS fly to Wilmot was followed
by two-baggers, Shugart's going over
the fence, and Pickett's into it, Jack
scored. Balls ragged work gave Kraus
life, and when Hutch gave another
base, the bags were full. ORourke
permitted a double. however, and the
locals were two behind. McGill did not
let the Millers get the ball out of the in
field in their half
Hutchinson struck out Glasscock and
Turner, and a fly to Werden retired
George. Minneapolis went one, two
three also.
Stratton's single gave the fourth a
good opening, but double play follow
ed right off, and no one scored. Werden
put the ball over the fence again, this
time for two bases, but when he tried
to make third on Franks fly to George,
he was one victim of a double play.
This was unfortunate, as Schrivers
single would have scored him. Kuehne
flew out and it was still three to one.
In the fifth Hutchinson in turn gave
bases to Kraus, McGill and O'Rourke
Classcock hit a sharp one through
Balls territory, and scored two of them.
Turner hit for two bases to the south
fence, and that brought in the next two
A passed ball gave him third, and then
George hit long one to Wilmot's baili-
wick, which took Walter on a wild goose
chase along the fence till George had
reached third. Stratton's hit scored
George, but Scott himself was caught
trying to steal second. Pickett struck
out, and Shugart was declared out on
a close decision at first. Minneapolis
got all the close decisions yesterday, as
Hutchinson himself admitted after the
game.
for the game. Ball got his base, and
theJ visitors were encouraged. Hutchi-
SON hit safely, but Connors hit to Shu-
gaStt swh6t started a double play. Ball
however scored. Then O'Rourke's wild
throw gave Lally two bases, a wild pitch
sent him to third, and he scored on
Wilmot's single. Walter stole second,
and was caught trying to make third on
Werden's groupder to ORourke.
Tt was seven to five. Three outfield
flies retired the locals. Frank went out,
but Schriyer hit single and Kuehne
two Dagger over the fence. It looked
as though tie might be effected, but
particularly when Ball was given four
lad ones and the bases were full.
then ConnorS forced Ball off at second,
SO no run was counted.
Turner hit safely in the sixth only to
be caught trying to steal second. Lally
got his base, but Wilmot forced him off
and then stole second. McGill, however,
used his change Of speed effectively and,
after fooling Perry on a curve that cut
the corner, which caused Werden to
roast the umpire in his usual vigorous
style, Willie lobbed over a gentle little
thing that Werden struck at hard and
fell down almost before the ball reached
him, SO great was the momentum of
his bat. That inning was blank too.
The eighth was characterized by some
very Slovenly work on the bases by
the locals, who were presented with two
sacks by Hutchinson. Stratton, how
ever, was caught trying to steal second,
and after Ball had given Shugart a
life, that worthy was caught mapping
at first. That made two gratuitous
outs, when three men should have
been ON bases, and McGill opened the
next inning with a nice single. Ball
wasted a hit after two were out, and
Hutchinson could not help him.
The ninth started little better. Nc
GillS single was encouraging and then
Ball let fO'Rourke go to first. Glass
cock forced McGill out at third, but
Turner hit safely. O'Rourke scored,
was going on to third. He did not dis
cover his mistake until he was nearly
to second, and the result was that he
was caught before he could get back
to first. George flew out to Wilmot
and Minneapolis needed three to tie.
Connors, of home run fame, was first
up. but this time he only succeeded in
giving Turner nice catch. LaIly
dropped the ball over the fence for two
bases, and Wilmot's grounder to Pick
EFT advanced handsome Dan to third.
Werden gave Pickett an easy one, and
the crowd started to leave the grounds,
but Glasscock dropped the ball Lally,
who had turned to go to the bench,
walked across the plate and the visi-
tors were but two behind. Freshened
by this, Wilmot put Joe Straus in to
bat in place of Frank, who cannot bat
the south paws, and a home run would
have tied. joe, however, only hit an
easy one to Shugart, and Werden was
forced out at second. It was ST Paul's
game squarely enough, and Wilmot's
frivolous protest ought to be ignored
by the league. Score:
