The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-09-12

Running horses are divided into
classes, some quarter horses, some five
furlong dashers, and some who can
make the three mile Derby. The Derby
winner usually looks like dray horse
in a short distance go, but he finishes
strong on the long haul.
Base ball teams are as various as,
and more cratic than the runners.
Some of them can go like the wind I'M
til the first of June, While some last
till the Fourth of July, and one or two
usually make September safely. They
all start from scratch and run neck
and neck up to the middle of April,
after which they diverge.
They squirt, too, sometimes. The
Saints, for example, for two hours yes
terday had a Kansas cyclone beat to a
degree which would have made the
tornado look as though it was anchor
ed. After that the Apostolic aggrega-
ton dubbed around like a Bethel boat
star boarder saving wood on St.
Anthony hill.
lone young woman who sat in the
grand stand yesterday figured out a
scheme by which Comiskey could lead
the league 1t was this: Miss every
game you can, like Watkins. Then by
missing two days after each game
played, and pitching Cross each game
you have to stand, you can get to the
front in a canter, See?'
4 Certainly Cross's work yesterday
tended to confirm the efficiency of the
young woman's plan. The round

Steady boy, that Cross. The rock OF
Gibraltar may weigh more, but it is
no better a defense that was George
yesterday He tWined the ball around
the Brewers necks until they seemed
to be choking with garlands or scintil-
liant inshoots. He shot them across
their waists till they began to dodge
like private detectives, shadoWing
prospective divorces. He plunged them
at the knees until the owners of the
pregnant hinges would not have dared
to use them for any purpose. Six hits
were made off him, one each in a sep
arate inning. One of these, punched
as it was in two cases in which Cross
forgot the location of the plate, and
hit batsmen, gave the visitors three
men on bases. Then it was that Stat
ford should have saved Connie the
humiliation of Shut-out, but it was
not so ordered. Mcbride caught a fly,
and the nearest chance the visitors had
to a score was in the treasure vaults
of memory.
Terry greeted the locals. Mcbride
got a base, and Nyce hit to left field
and Mcbride scored, while Charley
went to third. George hit hot one at
Ieewe, too hot for the young man, and
scored Nyce. Glasscock hit safely. Is
bell sacrificed. Gillen flew out to left
and Weaver made pretty throw to the
plate, but Speer dropped the ball and
George scored, making three. Singles
by Holly and Nyce, with Cross's sacri-
flee, added another in the second. In
the third Cross hit Terry on his most
useful arm, and the tall Adonis was not
fit to continue in the box. Reidy was
called in from the box office, and for
two innings had the locals guessing,
but in the sixth, a base on balls for Is
bell with hits by Spies, Cross and Me
Bride added two more runs. George
hit for two bases and Glasscock beat a
bunt Reidy hit Isbel, and Gillen,
Spies and Cross followed with singles,
making the Saints total ten. Another
double by George and Isbelrs single
with Blake's muff of a long fly, let in
the final two in the eighth. Three were
on bases in the ninth with only one
out. but flies to the outfield cut off any
scoring. The score:
