The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-17

did not spike any one else that game.
| All this delightful exhibition of Co
| lumbar ruffianism, with, q liberal in
terpolation of purely vocal unpleasant
ness by Tebeau, was for the edification
| of 1900 men, and perhaps 1000 women,
it being the day when the fair sex was
admitted free
Each side was convinced that the
umpire gave it the worst of it. 1t may
be said. however, not in eulogy of UNI
pire DAILY, but in mitigation Of his Of
Tense, that each team played such rag
ged ball that the best 1t deserved to do
was lose, and the fact that Columbus
won only lends support to the frequent
ly alleged existence of an angel who
cares for children and indiscreet adults
in certain lines.
Isbel pitched for the home team,
and while he was only hit eight times
In five innings, these safe drives were
so punched with fielding errors and
his own bases on balls that seven runs
were accumulated. The locals, who
have on previous occasions found Baker
about as easy a proposition on the
slate as two times two. were unable
to get at him coherently yesterday
The Saints started from scratch and
! got off ahead Mcbride hit one about
as high as Crooks could reach, but a
little farther toward second base. Then
Algernon stole second and went to
third on Buckley's bad throw, scoring
on Mullanes single over second base.
Tony went to second on the play. The
next three neglected to put the ball

and they swelled and bobbed around
like barrels of dried apples in the
flooded cellar of a fire sale grocery.
Hulen stole third. Genins tipped a
high one to Spies, and Mertes started
for second. Spies threw to Shugart,
and Hulen started in, but was caught
at the plate handily. Glasscock fos-
tered Franks high one, and it was 1
to 0.
Hulen threw Parrot out, and Mer-
ties made a nice catch Of Spies drive
which was hard but high. Hollings-
worth hit to McGarr who had long
throw from back of the bag, and it was
close at first. but Umpire Daily gave
the Columbians the benefit of the
doubt.
The visitors again failed to get the
ball out of the infield. although Null
lanes unsteady play on one ball gave
McGarr an ephemera1 baSe-running
existence.
Isbell at this point created some d.
version by smashing wildly at every
ball that came within reach of his
stick, high, low or wild. He finally
put one of them in left field for an
out.
Frank muffed McBride's long drive,
and Algernon reached third in a canter.
Crooks threw Mullane out, and Nc
Bride scored. Glasscock wasted a two
Dagger, George hitting a second time
to Baker.
Baker smashed a low ball down the
left foul line, which looked to the peo-
pie who did not work for LOTUS like
foul ball, but Daily allowed Baker
two sacks on it. That put the ruffians
in the game. HuIen singled and the
pitcher scored. Hulen stole second
Mertes was struck out and wanted to
spike the umpire, but Tebeau told him
the driver could probably take care Of
the bus all right and he had better
stay in the game.
Genins gave Spies another foul fly,
and Isbell walked Frank. The visitors
did not score again until Parrot, by
letting Tebeau's single go through him,
gave Hulen a chance to cross the plate.
Tebeau and Frank started the double
steal, and Frank would have been
nipped at the plate but that Spies
had a bad finger and failed to stop
Mullane's throw, which was a trif1a
high. Mcbride caught Crooks out, and
the score was 8 to in favor of the
visitors.
1t was tied again Immediately, how
ever, Shugart opening the inning with
two-base drive and scoring on an
out to center and Spies warm rap at
Baker.
Mullane threw McGarr out and Buck
ley hit a hard one to Shugart, which
the latter was unable to stop. He did
stop the next one, however, and the
locals second double play was exc
cuted.
Isbell manifested the same tendency
as before to bat at wild pitches, but
as he lined one out into center field
safe all was forgiven, especially when
Mcbride followed it with a three-bag-
ger. Mullane's fly to Mertes scored the
brilliant center fielder, and the locals
had a lead of two.
Hulen and Genins hit safe ones, but
two were out before any one scored,
and it was up to Tebeau. The Pirate
King lined one down to HollingsWorth
too fast, and again it was a tie. Te-
beau stole second and Spies bad throw
let him go to thlrd. CROOKS was given
walk to first, and Mullane's second
error gave the visitors the lead, which
they increased one when Buckley hit
good one to left. Buckley and Nc
Carr tried the double steal. but the
third baseman was caught at the plate

of the fact that it was the first close
