The Saint Paul globe., 1897-05-22

Phillips or Goar will be in the box for the
Hoosiers, probably Goar..

Umpire Manassau ought to have blue
print of his logic published for general dis
tributon. He rules that Spies cannot walk
to first, although he Is hit twice by pitched
ball. declaring that Heine did not try to get
out of the way of it. George Hogriever
catches one on the arm, and with an evident
desire to catch 1t there, and Manassau lets
him walk, as he does Mcfarland. who sticks
both feet in the path of the ball lest it should
find room to go by one of them. Get a little
fairness, Manassau, and the public Will grant
you fair treatment. even If the home club
does lose. The same public which will roast
a home team viciously for ragged play will
cherish the deepest hatred against an umpire
who manifests disposition to give any club
the worst of it.
The first taste the crowd got of Hollings-
worth's throwing arm was when he felded in
McFarland's home run from far out in the
fed. Mcbride threw 1t to Holly. who sent
it straight to the plate.

After two seasons in the big league Gray is
back ON third base. He looks little heavier
than he was in 1894.
Flynn, Mcfarland and Eustace are new
faces in this league.
Denzer fell from a bicycle the other day
and sprained his right shoulder. He Will be
ably a week. and Callahan is disabled with
sprained ankle, sustained sliding to second
base.
Manassau has given St. Paul the worst Of
it in every game he has umpired here. One Of
these days he will go against crowd which
won't stand his coarse work. Twice IN one
inning Spies was hit, at least once when 1t
was no fault Of his, and yet he wouldn't
give him his base. Twice Indianapolis players
seemed to be out at third base, but he didn't
call either man out. There were otner
last thing he did was an error. He called
George out in the ninth when he had really
reached first bag.
With absolutely fair umpiring the Hoosiers
would probably not have scored at all in
the second inning. 10y frs

Hollingsworth is bird on second base. He

Phyle tried his best to win his own game.
He hit for a triple and two doubles.
Parrot covers a lot of ground in fielding.
If he could only rub little life into that

player.
Asa Stewart had lot of luck with his
hitting. AS a rule he is only an average
man with the bat.
Gray at third is a considerable improvement
over Scheibeck, who last year played tnlrd
for the Indians.
Anyhow, it didn't take St. Paul three days
to get two runs off Indianapolis.
Manager Comiskey last night wired Presi-
dent Johnson strong protest against the re-
terition of Manassau here, and, as Ebright is
now in Minneapolis, it is not at all improbable
that the men will be switched this afternoon:
Manassau has plainly shown an aimus against
some of the local players not at all con-
ducive to fairness. and this would not inter
fere seriously with his work in Minneapolis,
except in Mondays game perhaps
Frank Kraus, who caught for Sioux City in
1894 and st. Paul in 1895 and 1896, is dying
of consumption in Brooklyn. 1t Is likely
that benefit will be arranged for him some
time during the present home series. which
does not close till the last of the month
Umpire Manassau had a lively experience
after the game yesterday when a number Of
the spectators of the game crowded about him
and threatened him with violence. The po-
lice, however, protected him as far as the
car, and he escaped without bodily injury.
1t was about as mad crowd Of fans as has
ever witnessed game here, not because st.
Paul lost, for they were fair enough to con-
cede the strength Of the Indianapolis team,
but because of the inclination, indicated by
manner at least, however innocentiy, to give
