The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-05

cock didn't get the ball. Smith did get
the base. Letcher waited for four, and
Miller advanced them with stiff
grounder to GlaSscock. Roat hit to
Shugart, who failed to connect, and the
visitors first run was scored by the
little pitcher who had been in such dis.
favor during the opening inning.
Nyce drove the ball back to Letcher
who could get little idea of it's direc-
ton in the prevailing atmospheric con-
ditions. 1t was good for four bases, the
sphere getting to Eddie Boyle about
three and half seconds too late to
put any one out Preston got to first
by giving Miller a sun ball, but was
thrown out at second. The next two
failed to leave the plate
Minneapolis tried three starters
without starting.
The fifth was Smiths worst, as we'll
as his teams. Hollingsworth and
Fricken hit safely. the latter espe-
cially safe. as he batted to Wilmot's
garden. The eX-Chicagoan tried to
make a grand-stand play by scooping
in low fly. which dropped in his
front, but failed. not only in this, but
In stopping the ball at all. He chased
1T back toward the fence, and, when he
did get 1t again, threw as wild as an
Apache, and, instead of hitting Co
mlskey this time, it sailed proudly to
the left field bleacher. Some of the
boys In the open stand wanted Walter
to go into the club house and take
the flannel protector off his throwing
arm, but he resisted their opportunities
and remained in the game Mcbride
hit to deep center, and Letcher en-
joyed a charming run to the highest
point Of the cycle track on the Lex
ington avenue stretch. The ball was
there overtaken and thrown back, but,
II it had been going yet, Mcbride could
not have done any better, under the
present rules, which permit man to
make only four bases on any single
hit.
GlasscOck gave Ball an easy one and
went out, but George hit to short out.
field for two bases. Real sharp play
would have held him at first, but it
was not in the Millers yesterday. Nyce
singled and George scored. Miller
muffed Preston's fly Shugart hit to
Ball, and Nyce was caught at the plate.
Ball fell all over himself when Spies
hit that way, and Holly hit safely for
the second time in the inning. Fricken
was merciful and went out on a foul
fly to Eustace. Tommy Smith made
Minneapolis first safe hit in this inn
ing, but the two who followed him
could not help him out, and he was
left in the unprotected world outside.
In the sixth, while the locals were
given two bases on balls, they failed
to knock the ball out of the infield, and
for the first inning in the game they
were BANKED.
Georges muff of fly in right gave
Roat third base, whence he scored on
Cartwrights grounder to Shugart dur
ing the execution of a double play.
In the seventh the Saints did not
even reach first. Shugart gave Ball a
life, and Boyle lined out a three-base
hit Smiths sharp ball to Shugart
gave Boyle chance to score too, and
it was then Is to 4.
Fricken popped an easy one to Cart
wright. Parrot, who had taken Nc.
Brides place on account of Alger-
mons bruised arm, drove out a four
baser with much emphasis. Two safe
singles followed, but flies to Letcher
retired the side before they scored.
After Eustace flew out to Nyce, Bail
singled and Boyle was given his base.
Smith hit hot one to right. Hollings-
worth made a sensational stop, but
could not cut off the runner Three
We're on bases when Letcher's single
drove two Of them in. Miller also hit
safely, helping little. Sharp infield
play prevented more than these three
coming IN.
Singles by Shugart, Spies and Par
rott, with two bad plays on grOunders
by Ball, gave the locals three more in
the ninth, a total Of nineteen.
Nyce's muff of a fly gave the visit
ors a start for the home stretch, but
short one. as on the next ball Hol-
lingsworth made a brilliant stop near
second base and doubled both runners
out with a throw to Glasscock Ball
hit a hard one to center. PARROT
reached for it in vain. Boyle hit to
third. Nyce went wrong. Preston's
experience with Smiths drive was
similar to PARROTS with the other.
Letcher hit for two bases, and three
more runs were in. Miller, however,
sent Nyce a foul fly and ended the
game with the score 10 to 10.
