The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-23

The seesaw of base ball has again
lifted st. Paul to third place, the Apos-
ties giving the Cowboys a terrible
dlubbing yesterday, while the once de-
spised Gold Bugs defeated the fearful
Tigers twice.
The score was that of a Sunday
game on the West side, smuggling being
the feature of the game The fielding
was handicapped, however, by high,
cold wind, which aside from making
fly balls hard to judge, made catches
of thrown balls very uncertain.
Kansas City repeated it's performance
of the day before in a way, scoring
eleven of its runs in two consecutive
innings This time, however, they were
not enough to win, for the pitchers
were ineffective in the high wind and
the locals had their eyes on the ball.
The opening inning was reminder of
those palmy days when the locals were
playing here with Milwaukee, and five
was the regular thing. O'Rourke
struck out, but Twitchell, who had been
promoted to the second place on the
batting list lined the ball out as an
evidence Of appreciation. Glasscock
waited for four balls, and Sammy
Nichol dropped Georges fly. Burns hit
single and Shugart a double and
when Hollingsworth, who was put
down next the battery, came up, he
showed his displeasure with the change
by clearing the bases of all but him
self. Spies hit the ball high and went
out, and Fricken's hit was wasted, as
ORourke struck out second time in
the inning.
Twitchell dropped Nyce's fly but held
Menefee's. O'Rourke could field if he
could not bat, and two more were out
before Nyce could score.
Little Knell, whose name led some to
believe that the Manning's Misfits
Should be renamed the Curiosity
Shop" gave the first two in the sec
ond bases on balls. A wild pitch helped
them and singles by George and Shu-
CART with a two-bagger by Burns, scor-
ed three more runs. Hollingsworth hit
liner, and Hatfield went into the air
and got it, throwing to Nyce in time for
a double play.
Nichol was out easily in the Cow
boys half, when Hatfield hit a light
one, and had not Fricken made a poor
pickup he would have been the second.
Then the next three piled up singles.

suit was five runs.
Sammy NichOl retired the Saints one

struck out, but King hit to Hollings-
worth Holly threw to Shugart, but
he ho1l

and Menefee singled, and Nyce this
time hit for two bases, before Blan-
ford, who had taken Lakes place, forced
the side out. Six runs were the
total that inning and the visitors were
three runs ahead.
Glasscock's single, with doubles by
George, Burns and Hollingsworth, tied
the score in the fourth. Nichol and
Campau hit safely, but the Count was
caught trying to steal second, and both
hits were wasted.

King called in from right field to pitch,
Callahan playing that position. King
hit O'Rourke, giving that worthy first
base for the first time. He stole second,
