The Saint Paul globe., 1897-05-26

Grand Rapids at Kansas City.
Comiskey's men took another game
yesterday, this time from the hitherto
untried Detroits, the result being the
smallest score. yet seen in Lexington
park, to i in a full nine innings. 1t
was, taken all in all, an admirable
game, largely a pitchers battle. mas
much as the only error the losers made,
aside from the pitchers, cost them but
one run.
st. Paul earned the only run earned
in the contest, when in the seventh the
Saints Were able for the first time to
get three safe hits in one inning off
Hahn, the young south paw, of whom
so much has been said and so much
written.
Hahn is a good pitcher, but he has
evidently read it somewhere. He poses
as though he expected a calcium to be
turned on him from the right field
bleacher at any minute. But he does
know few things about twirling the
sphere across the plate, and he showed
his mettle yesterday.
Mullane, too, was in good form, and
while the visitors made nine hits off
his delivery during the nine innings,
they never managed to get more than
two in one Inning, and but for a pair
of misplays in the field behind him,
Tony might have had shut-out to his
credit.
The thousand people who attended to
see the first appearance of the Tigers,
had a stirring time Of it from the time
the first ball was pitched until the last
man was out
After the execution that the Saints
had done on Indianapolis, nearly every
one looked for tableu in which
Hahn would be offered as a sacrifice
to atone for the crimes that Comiskey
has charged Vanderbeck with. They
pointed Mcbride, with his usual per-
tipacity interrupted the meteorie course
of a Hahn projectile, and walked to
first. Nyce tried to knock the cover
off the ball, and it went straight down
the runway, striking Hahn below the
belt. He grabbed the ball. however,
and threw it to Hines at second, and
in a flash two men were out and
Georges hard hit was equally cleanly
intercepted by the stubborn little
pitcher.
Hines pounded hard one into Nyce,
which struck his forearm and bounded
high above his head. He caught it
coming down, but Hines beat the
leather to first base. Hunky, however,
made the mistake of trying to slide to
second under Spies throwing arm and
Manassau, who was rendering the base
decisions, declared his expedition
failure. Deadly popped one up to Glass
cock, and while Burnett hit safely to
left field, he, too, was victimized by enc
Spies, who threw to Shugart like shot.
Hahn opened the second with another
wild one, which left a dirty mark on
G1asscock's dress suit. Parrott hit
high one. Whistler muffed it. Glass
Geek tried to get down to second, but
was caught. Shugart hit one high. Hines
tried hard, but could not get it. Hahn
tried to catch Parrott mapping at sec
ond. He threw wild and two runners
went up a peg, Parrott afterwards
flying to the plate while Hines was
gathering in Hollingsworth's grounder.
DUNCAN flew out to Mcbride. Whistler
hit safely and stole second. Steinfeldt
hit to Nyce, who jabbed the ball into
Whistlers broad side and then threw
it to first. The umpire said Stein
feldt was out, thus perfecting beauti-
full double play.
Nyee was the only Apostle to get to
first base In Ine lllrQ, a clean single
being his credential frost flew out to
HolEingswerth, who made a hard run,
Glasscoek and George both claiming the
same chance. Allen hit clean one,
but Hahn sent the ball down to Glass
cock, who threw to Shugart and in turn
the ball came back to Glasscock, COM
pleting another sharp double, three in
three innings.
Glasscock hit a high fly to right field.
DUNCAN first misjudged it, and it looked
a cinch that he would not get it. He
stepped back a little, and still he could
not reach it. but as 1t came down close
to the ground, by a peculiar swing of
his left arm. he brought his glove I'm
der it, making one of the most sensa-
tional one-handed catches ever seen in
the game. Hahn was wild. He gave
PaIrott four, but the tall one was
caught trying to steal. Then the pitch
er gave the next three free transperta-
ton, but Mullane was unable to push
them around, pounding a high foul,
which Steinfeldt embraced in it's de-
scent.
The visitors then tied It. Shugart,s
tumble gave Hines first. Deady struck
out. Burnett hit high foul. Nyce
went after 1t on hard run. Before
he could stop running and turn around
with the ball, Hines was well toward
