The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-09-13
SECOND GAME.

Mcbride made a brief temperance
in the opening of the second game, just
long enough TO drive out the nice sim
gle that he had been unable to get in
the first game Preston then took his
place on first base, but a double play
which Nicholson started put an end to
any immediate exhibitions of strategic
base running by the suspended out
fielder. Nicholson also threw out
George, and it looked as though Kansas
City might do the Milwaukee act and
turn the tables when Gillen's high
throw let Menefee get to first base, and
NicholSon's single advanced him before
any one was out Fricken, however,
selled down as the sun came out OF
the clouds for a few minutes, and
struck out the next two. Pickett was
thrown out by Gillen, after the other
fellows had worked a double steal ana
were only waiting q scratch hit or all
error to score them
Glasscock and Isbell sent grounders
tC Meeks, but Gillen rammed hot one
at Nicholson who made good stop,
but could not throw the ball out. Spies
walked on four balls, HollingsWorth's
hit scored Gillen, but Spies was caught
at the plate when he and Holly tried
the double steal. Meeks touched Fricn-
half, but Gear forced him out. Nyce
played fast for a double, but the bah
had too far to travel and reached first
base late F'ricken hit BianfOrd on the
arm, but Roach batted low liner at
F'ricken, who took it on the fly, and
threw it to first for pretty double.
Glasscock threw it to Hollingsworth.
and had not one man been out already
triple play would have been accom-
plished, the first on the Lexington park
grounds.
Frcken got base, but Preston fore
cd him out Pickett made two nice
throws on good stops, and Preston was
left in the lurch. Nicholson wasted Il
single, there being no timely sticker to
watt him around
Gear hit Glasscock on the shoulder,
and Isball sacrificed. Gillen knocked
the bali so far that he had completed
the circuit of the bases before it got
back into the diamond again, HolllngS-
worth wasted hit after two were OUT.
Pickett sent Isbell high one, and Nyca
threw Meeks out, but the visitors fresh
cned up when Gear was given walk,
and Blanford's single over Gillen gave
Roach a chance to tie if he would
mound out the homer. He had no more
! horne-run hits, however, than he had
avoirdupofs, and Hoilingsworth put an
end to his suspense.
Only six batsmen faced the two
pitchers in the fifth inning, but in the
sixth GlaSscock opened with clean
three base drive back Of Menefee. After
/ Isbell and Gillen had gone out on high
/ ones to Menefee and McVicker, per
! hitting Glasscock to score, Spies vast
/ ed a second three Dagger, as Hollings-
worth merely popped Connaughton a
/ light one. Triples seeming to be strict
! ly popular, McVicker opened choice
+ line himself and presented a sample to
Isben, who did not get his eye on the
! ball in time to judge its line of descent
distinctly. Pickett's single scored one
+ for the visitors. and they were in the
game again until Meeks' poke at
j F'ricllen was thrown to Gillen and then
! to GIasscock in time for two to be put
out. Gear batted fly which fell safe
/ back of second base, but Blanford foul
ed to Spies. and the visitors decided
! not TO take the field again. The score
