The Saint Paul globe., 1896-07-12

Six straight games.
Detroit went down yesterday in a
nice game.
Denzer eclpsed all his previous
strike-out records by tanning eleven
men.
Egan, Detroit's twirler, was erratic
and sent Apostles to bases eleven times
That cost him the game, for without
them the locals score would have been
held away down. They were unable to
hit the Irishman effectively, as the rec
ord of men left on bases shows.
Tim ORourke started the game with
a strike-out, and II Egan had not hit
Stratton with the ball, no one would
have reached first base on either side
that inning.

up in the second, and he hit Burns a.
Soaker. Pickett made a clean hit to
short left field, and passed ball ad-
vanced them. Spies hit safely, but was
caught trying to get to second The
bases were clear when Denzer wasted
nice two-base drive to the right field
fence. Two runs was the net result
for the locals.
Sammy Gillen when the dashing third
baseman met the ball with a mighty
smash and sent 1t straight down the
lot. 1t was cinch for three bases
Whistler was next, and he famed twice
also before he met the ball, even as
Gillen had done, but sent it further to
the left. When George got the ball
back In play. Whistler was on third.
He died there, however, for Denzer
struck pS three ir. succession, amid
great enthusiasm. Burnett claimed
with some show of reason, that he had
been called out on ball, but the kick
did not alter the score.
Stratton and George each hit for two
bases and the locals had three runs
inland made nice stop on Burns, and
Plckett's fly was absorbed by BURNETT
after magnificent run.

was summing his curly locks on second
oase. and Tommy threw the ball back
IN time to get Spies out on a pretty
double play. Denzer sent Fifield a
light one, and the side was out. Roger
gave the first two bases on halls end
1t looked as though the Tigers might
put few more stripes between them
and the locals. Egan sacrificed and
one or the runners was as close as
Ihlrd. That was inland. frost hit a
ny to Burns which Tommy could have
come IN on as easy as tumbling. but
tommy could not wait until the ball
was caught before starting. This in
discretion cost him his professional re-
putation and the team a run. which
they needed.
Egan gave O'Rourke a hard ran on
the upper arm Glasscock hit lively
single, and Stratton, who was hitting
the ball every chance he got. lined Il
out again for two bases. That made
