The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-18


Tie Millers and the champions
played a postponed game yesterday.
The Millers wish that they hadn't done
it now. 1t took the Hoosiers just one
hour and % minutes to win the third
game of the series.
Figgemeier pitched for Minneapolis,
and the usual ten hits were made
off him. 1t is a singular coincidence
that in each of the three games the
Des Moines lad has pitched, the oppo-
sition has been unable to score but ten
hits off his delivery, and in neither
case was the game won bw Minneap-
oils. Figgemeier has pitched magnifi-
cent ball in all three games, but the
locals do not seem to do any batting
behind him. Yesterday the home team
played a great game in the field with
one or two exceptions, but at the bat
they were a little weak. The best hit
of the game was a home run fly over
the left field fence by Werden. Will
mot put one over the right field fence
IL the ninth inning, and made the
score a little better to look at
The game was very quickly played,
both teams being full of life and anx-
ious to hurry things up. Connors
walked as usual. Wilmot sacrificed,
Straus hit to Shannon, and died at
first, Schriver sent liner which Stew
art pulled down. For the enemy, Hog
riever hit to Kuehne, who made a
great stop, and the clever base stealer
was out. Big Buckley struck out and
Mccarthy sent Wilmot a nice fly.
In the second, Werden put the ball
over the fence for a homer. Lally
went out from Shannon to Motz, Shan
non dropped the ball after Frank hit
1t down to him, and Frank was safe.
Kuehne made nice two sacker into
right field, but Figgemeier retired the
side by sending a foul fly to MOTT,
Motz started with hit by second.
He stole second, and Stewart ad-
vanced him with sacrifice Scheibeck
