The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-08

| Columbus at Milwaukee.
Indianapolis at Kansas City.
Grand Rapids is playing somewhat
faster ball than it played when here
on the other trip, but it is still little
| out of it's class here.
Yesterdays game was characterized
by good fielding generally, but the WIS.,
| iters were unable to hit the ball.
Mcbride, the center fielder for the
| gold bugs, distinguished himself by as
fine catch in center field as has or is
| likely to be seen there and Mertes
and Turner have been doing pretty
/ good work there. Glasscock sent ball
In that section Of the field that looked
for all the world like a three-base hit.
1t started from the bat on an angle
that promised long passage and a
safe one, but Mcbride made a smart
sprint backward, forward, and any
other way toward the center Of the city,
managing by much craning Of the neck
and occasional suggestions Of instinct
to keep informed as to the whereabouts
OF the ball. Finally he reached a place
where he was content to reach his left
hand into the air-and pull the aerial
navigator down. It. did not save the
o~~~-~'
a close one.
Mcfarland pitched for the visitors
yesterday and Phple for the locals.
Phyle was backed by an errorless field.
while McFarland's support was weak
ened by the absence from the game
of Bobby Gilks, whichenecessitated the
playing Of Pitcher Parker in the field.
Like all games are supposed to ON
Aurora Or dc
gan with the presentation of a base to
Timothy O'Rourke. Glasscock caught
the ball badly on his stick and when II
Tell 1t barely escaped the fence near
third base. Camp caught him out.
Burns came next. Turner having been
called peremptorily to st. Louis. Burns
hit hard one back of Gettinger,, and
tried to get third ON it, when in fact
he should have stopped at second.
O'Rourke's was the only score that
inning. The Gold Bugs did not get to
first sa a.r,i = 49, =

In a dazed condition.
Camp opened their half with a home
run hit over the right fence. PhyIe
struck out Mcbride but gave two
bases. and Parker lift safely. Spies
trying to cut off Mcfarland at third.
The bases were fun, and Carney hit,
high one. George ran hard and caught
1t so close to the infield, that the leader
of the gold bugs was afraid to try for
the plate. Gettinger flew out to Glass
cock, and although. he tried to run into
Jack as the ball came down, he retired
| the side in its only hopeful inning
Glasscock and George hit the ball and
Jack scored when Sfnink threw the ball
over Wheeloek's head, Smink made a
duplicate of Camps homer, and after
. two were out Mcfarland hit hot one
through Pickett. Mcbride sent a fly
to left field which looked like an easy
out, but George suddenly stopped as he
reached 1t and lett 1t tfaIl on his foot
instead of his hand. oWheelock. how
ever, struck out, $50 no damage was
done
Clean fielding blanked the locals for
the first time in the fifth. Spies drove
a hot one, which Mcfarland reached
for but could not hold. Camp came
up on 1t and got 1t over to first In his
time n fho dow
Parker pounded up high one which
looked as though It would drop safe
Shugart, however, took it in nicely on
the run, and the next two did not come
as near as that to first base.
Phyle knocked the ball over the
fence for two bases. O'Rourke hit an
easy one, and Mcfarland tried to catch
Phyle at third. He failed, but
ne was caught at the plate
few moments later, when
O'Rourke and the pitcher tried the
double steal. Glasscock then sent his
drive, which Mcbride handled SO
neatly. but Burns doubled again, and
O'Rourke scored. Camps base on balls
was all Grand Rapids could get In the
inning.
Pickett wasted two-base hit in the
seventh. Spies hit a hard one with
two out, but his bat broke, and as it
was the ball went well back for Nc
Bride. There is no telling where 1t
would have gone. had the bat hung
together. With two out, Parker hit the
ball out of the lot Carney singled to
left field. but George caught Parker
trying to score on It. It was quick
work.
Phyle. popped az high one to right
field, and Parker .muffed it. The
pitcher was on second, the ball had
come down so slowly. Then he stole
third, and scored the tenth run for the
| locals when O'Rourke sent fly to
| Mcbride. Mills hit for the Bugs, but
had no. one to- bring him around
The ninth was bad. J Two-baggers by
George and Spiest singles by Pickett.
Shugart and O'Rourke, and a base on
balls for Stratton Melted the locals
four runs. in spite of a nice double
play. The visitors tried three times IL
