The Saint Paul globe., 1897-07-10

Isbell. the unbeaten, is unbeaten nc
longer. Yesterday he suffered his first
defeat and it was a sure enough de-
feat OF the eight base-hits scored
against him by Milwaukee, three were
better than singles, while, of the seven
Outteld flies on which outs were
scored, three were seemingly safe hits,
which were spoiled only by the most
sensational work on the part of AL
gernon Mcbride.
Algernon is a fast ball player, but,
If he lives a thousand years, he will
probably not see the day he shines
as brilliantly as he did yesterday. Wet
as the Outfield was, and heavy as the
running, the eX-Chicagoan chased
around the water-logged garden like
a motorcycle on a tar track.
Milwaukee should be, on the cards,
so easy that Manager Comiskey thrust
the locals into the field at the start
in order that the crowd might get down
to supper earlier by not having to wait
for the superluous half of the ninth
Isbell gave a base the first thing
Weaver hit the ball smash, and
Speer went circuit-chasing faster than
Tom Cooper Mcbride, however, in
sisted on taking all the power out of
what appeared to be a cinch for two
bases, and by the time that the short
legged catcher had meandered back to
first Mcbride had thrown to
Glasscock, who did not even have to
touch the little one to make tt strong
Myers got a base on four. but George
gathered IN Stafford's fly, and the
Brewers had experienced no little ex-
ertion for very small reward.
Mcbride and Nyce hit grounders to
DAILY and Stafford and went out, but,
when GlasscOck came UP and pokei
one down to DAILY, that worthy seemed
TO have paralysis of his prehensile
fingers and he could not pick up a ball
any more than a Superior whaleback
could climb the Selby hill. George
drove the ball out to right field. Blake
did not know where it was going, and
1T fell safe. George thought one base
was enough on it, but not so Glass
cock. After the ball dropped Glass
cock kept on running, and when he
finally reached the plate the ball had a
shade the best of it, but he and Speer
COllided and the little catcher dropped
the ball. Umpire Daily declared Glass
cock safe, and the veterans daring
base running was properly rewarded
George, meanwhile, went to second,
but Shugart struck out, and only the
one run resulted.
DAILY opened on IsbelI with a fine
three bagger to far right, and NicoPs
high fly to the same quarter tied the
score. Two inf1eld grounders and the
catching of Blake trying to steal sec
ond left it tie at the end of Mil
waukees half.
Spies single, and HolIy's triple, a
drive that struck ground about where

which this time was only good for
three bases on account Of the heavy
condition of the soil. broke the tie.
1sbelI could not push Holly in, giving
DAILY short grounder. Mcbride got
a base, but Nyce hit straight down
the line to Stafford and 1t was two to
one at the close of the inning.
Neither side reached first base in the
third, the only feature of not very
exciting inning being Spies catch of a
foul fly near the left end of the grand
stand, and within a few feet of it. It
required hard run and no little nerve
Myers struck out but Hollingsworth
went to pieces on comparatively easy
one by Stafford. Daily hit to Nyce,
who threw to Shugart and then the
ball went down the line to first for
an exceedingly fast double play
Parrott's second grounder to Daily
put him out again before Spies hit
safely for two bases in right. Holly
and Isbell however, gave Stafford easy
chances and no one scored. Nicol hit
for two bases. and Blake tried to
sacrifice. Isbell threw over Glass
cocks head and Milwaukee tied the
score. The next three went out. Nc
Bride retired on a grounder to Myers.
but Nyce waited and got four Glass
Geek singled, and two chances remain
ed to take the lead. George, however
popped a foul to Myers, and Shugart
hit a grounder to Stafford which left
1t still a tie.
Weaver hit fly to Isbell, but Myers
waited for four. Stafford hit hard
Dne we'll back in center and 1t looked
like a three or four baser. Mcbride
however, took 1t in again, and Myers
who had passed second in his anxiety
TO get home saw the ball get back to
HollingswOrth and from him to Glass
cock in plenty of time to retire the
side.
The locals did not get to first base,
although the only reason Spies did
not was a sensational stop by Leewe
Of a grounder almost over second base.
DAILY opened Milwaukee's seventh
with hard single through short, and
stole second on Nicols third strike.
