out, If 1t did nothing else. Glasscock
went out on drive to Ball. 5
The shortstop then came in and
opened the fourth with a clean two
base hit. Connors bunted and beat the
ball to first. Lally sacrificed and Ball
scored. Wilmot gave Glasscock hot
one, and went out, and while Schriver
got a base on balls, Werden forced
him and the side out.
George gave ConnorS a fly, and
Twitchell, after hitting safely, was
caught trying to steal second. Burns
gave Hutch chance, and the score
was FIVE to one.
Preston's single to left field gave the
home team a fresh start in the fifth,
and although Kuehne struck out Hut
Gibson managed to meet the ball for
terrific drive. 1t went directly to-
ward the corner of the fence. Twitchell,
after waiting an instant to judge it,
ran back and nearly reached It, but as
he jumped to get it, he slipped, and
fell, and when he recovered himself
and the ball. the Minneapolis pitcher
had reached third base. Ball repeated
his two-base hit, and brought in the
second run of the inning.
Six runs would have tied the score,
and 1t looked as though the old Garri-
son finish Apostles might be able to
do even that when Shugart gave the
ball a hard drive to the Lake street
fence for three bases, as clean a hit
as could be asked. Kraus poked a
nice single back Of the infield, and the
short stop scored, but Mullane gave
Preston a fly and the side was retired
On double play when O'Rourke hit
to Kuehne.
One was out when Schriver made
another of those ominous three base
drives, but Werden was disposed of
by a foul pop up to Glasscock, and
Prestons fly to Burns spoiled the use
fulness of the Schriver hit. Hollings-
worth, Glasscock, George-one, two,
three.
Kuehne was presented with his base,
but Hutchison struck out. Ball con-
tented himself with a single, his third
successive hit. 1t fell in front of
George, and the latter fumbled it on
the pickup just long enough to lead
kuehne to believe that he could reach
third. The Erie man was never more
mistaken in his life. O'Rourke nearly
pCked the ball through him as he slid
in. Connors' two base drive, however,
scored Ball with Minneapolis eighth
and last run. O'Rourke made a beau
tiful catch of Lally's foul fly. Twitchell
and Burns struck out, and Shugart
gave ball grounder.
Schriver hit safely again in the eighth
and went to second, when George let
the ball go by him, but the other three
In the inning went out and the catcher
did not score. Mullane hit safely, but
there was no one behind him to bring
him around. He revenged himself by
striking out Kuehne and Hutchison,
each second time, and stopping Balls
grounder.
Glasscock went out in the ninth on
fly to Werden, but George pounded the
ball into extreme left field for two
bases. 1t was every chance to win
out, and the hit and run scheme was
followed. George was within twenty
feet of third base when Twitchelps bat
met the ball and sent 1t hotly to
Werden. Perry was SO busy getting
Twitchell out that George came home
from second on it. Burns sent liner
that looked like a good one, but Ball
made one of the most sensational plays
of the day, innocently sticking up his
left hand with the palm toward the
ball, although he wasgsin an awkward
position so to oldo. The ball struck the
glove and stuck there until the young
man had reached the club house, for
the game was over that instant.
