The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-20

Detroit at Kansas City.
Grand Rapids at Milwaukee.
Columbus, when he sailed from Pa
los, made his way across the ocean
in an unbeaten track, but the modern
Columbian wanderers are following a
track that is anything but unbeaten.
One from Minneapolis and four from
Grand Rapids and four from Detroit
and four from Columbus makes thir-
teen games in succession for the St.
Paul team.
Today Indianapolis comes.
Beaten two out of five by a disor-
ganized, weak batting team like the
Millers, it looks as though the best
that the HoOsiers can do now is to
tack themselves right on the end Of
the above list and make seventeen
successive victories for the Saints be-
fore they leave town on he trip.
The Hoosiers may or may not be
beaten today. but when they adjourn
to the hotel they will know they have
been playing.
Roger Denzer will pitch and the WIS.,
itors will find it harder to get to first
base here than it is to make home runs
in some other towns in the league.
Game will be called at $3.50 and 1t is
perhaps needless to remark that all
the fans will be present at Aurora
park in time to hear starter O'Day
warn the riders not to come up ahead
of the pole horse.
Nearly all Of them were over the
river yesterday afternoon to see Co
lumbus play The game was one of the
See-saw kind where now one and now
the other is ahead, but it was any,
thing but monotonous, for when the
game was not fast enough, the Dis
coverers would add new element
to the game in the form Of a new
pitcher, or a switching Of positions in
the field, just to keep the spectators
amused
Young Mr.. McGreevy, who scared
Umpire Clark out Of Is or 20 minutes
of his natural life in the tenth inning
of Thursdays game, pitched for Co
Iumbus. Not a Saint reached the ha-
ven at first during the first inning
Iricken was the twirler in the box
for ST. Paul, and in the first inning
Columbus players made four safe hits,
three of which were nothing more nor
less than three two-baggers. The result
was three earned runs for the Column
bians.
Billy George opened the second, and
just to show that Glasscock was not
the only man on the team who could
hit the ball, the left fielder laced 1t out
once. Burns made a two Dagger and
Pickett singled. Shugart got a base on
balls. but F'ricken made a safe hit and
Cantillon thought that when 1t was
getting SO good the pitcher fattened his
batting average it was time to take
McGreevy out. st. Paul only got two
runs out of 1t all, as Pickett was caught
at the plate trying to get home on an
outfield hit.
Shugart gave the second a bad start
and three hits were piled up on Fricken
thereafter before the side was out
Three men were left on bases, however,
and only one run resulted making the
score four to three. Pete Daniels had
taken MrGreevy's place in the box.
Glasscock and Kraus began with
doubles and George Pickett, Spies and
Fricken made singles. Sundry stolen
bases and bad infield play on Parrott's
part permitted st. Paul to get five runs
out of the inning, quite a lead.
Shugart, however gave the visitors
another start. and George dropped Will
sons fly. Mccormack hunted, and the
ball rolled down toward first base
Fricken chased it and as he was about
to pick it up 1t rolled just as though
Mccormack had kicked it. Glasscock
and Fricken claimed an interference
and the umpire declared Mccormack
out, sending the runners back. Cantillon
made a single with three men on bases
and scored two of them, which made
1t six to seven in favor of the locals.
st. Paul again failed to reach first
base, and Genins, Wilson and Daniels
hit safely, while Burns muffed HASA
maer's high fly. Net result two runs.
