The Saint Paul globe., 1897-05-20

Isbell the ex-MacaIeSter tw1r1eT, heId
the Wolverines we'll down yesterday ex-
cept during one inning in which he was
as wild as Nate Salsbury's West 1t
was. to be sure, a tank drama sort OF
base ball that he appeared in. outheld-
ers in Lexington park needing ruooef
boets more than spikes, and light nan
nelS to save weight.
For that reason many hits that would
have been out on dry field were made
safe, singles heightened into doubles,
ard. to even things up, some that would
have rolled out for homers. had 1T been
dry, struck in the mud and became but
singles or doubles.
Enough was seen, however, to show
that Isbell can puzzle the lads In the
striped blazers not a little.
. Reidy, rather a young looking ind1-
y!dua1 who might make a hit with a
dress suit, but never with regula-
tion bat, was the twirler for the boys
from the sugar bush. Mcbride and
D'Rourke struck tie alldowns st trs.a q
1t popped up In succession to G1enalv1n
and Camel. Nyce, however, hit one
pretty high between Gettinger and Hill
lister 1t rolled through puddle or
two, and when the felders found 1t
their shoes were heavy with st. Paul
realty and their hearts with the reali-
Zation that Nyee had reached third.
He too suffered some from the slow
track or he would have played the full
circuit. George waited for four and
Ianassau called Nyce out at the plate
On an attempt to make the double steal.
Roat had a walk to first before IsbeH
definitely located the plate, Campau
bunted, and Glenalvin advanced Roat
to third Gettinger's timely single to
left puddle scored a run. Shugaft gave
CAMEL a life, but Hatfield could not
find the North Branch boy at all.
Glasscock pounded one into Roat so
hard he thought he was FftZsimmons'
sparrfng partner for a moment, but
Parrott hit to Hatfield and forced Jack
off, Reidy suddenly lost his eye. Shu-
gart was carried to first on four, while
Spies stopped d pitched ball with his
shoulder blade and was dispatched to
Cancels corner. That filed the sacks
and when Reidy tried to puncture Is
belFs pitching arm, the Saints had their
first score. Mcbride drove the ball into
the middle puddle for two bases, and
HolIister splashed into it like a. brown
dog in a duck pass. When he came up
he had the ball in his webbed paw, pad
died out to the shore, and threw in to
the park but Mcbride was on second
md everyone wes in but L bell. o Rourke
hit to Gettinger, and Mcbride
was declared out at the plate. There
was no more run getting until Grand
Rapids came TO bat.
Then the amphibious Iollfster was
sent to first base by a generous pitcher,
and Dick Buckley dropped fly near
second base. Shugart threw badly to
first and the runners went to second
and third respectively. Reidy bunted,
i and Isbell gave Glasscock bad throw.
/ Roat went out on a grounder to Nyce,
L but three bases on balls not only filed
\ the sacks again, but forced in one run
A extra. Camel popped UP fly back of
/. the diamond, and Campau scored, while
GIcnaIvin crossed the rubber on Hat
fields fly to Mcbride. That made five
for the inning and it was six to four
when the locals went in again.
Buckley took Glasscoek's foul fly on
the side hill, and Parrott hammered the
ball into Gettinger's mill pond for two
grist containers. Shugart advanced him
O. sack on Snappy one to CAMEL, and
Spies was again annoyed by pitched
ball He and Parrott tried the double
steal, but ManaSsau said that the ball
was at the plate before the bird was.
lsbeH settled down and two were out
when Roat's single was wasted.
A single by Mcbride and tumble by
Elenalvin gave the locals two ON bases
when a pair of outfield flies in quick
succession, prevented further scoring.
Glen got his base on four, but was
doubled out on Gettinger's tap to Is
bel CAMEL was easy.
Hatfield let Glasscock's grounder get
through his hands in the opening of the
fifth, and, after Parrott had popped one
up to Roat, Shugart drove one out fer
three bases into HOLSTERS natatorfum.
Glasscock scored, while HolIister went
down into the tank, smoked a. cigar
ette and came up with the lighted
stump and the ball. Shugart reached
third, while the 200 people in the stands
Aurned their field glasses on the distant
specially programme Spies hot one
TO Roat scored Shugart, If it did not
save Heine.
Then the score was a tie. and Gil
Hatfield thought he could bunt and
boat the ball to first He took the small
