The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-29

The st. Paul base ball club has not
been shut out without run this sea-
son, but it had a hairbreadth escape
yesterday in the third game of the
Hoosier series. Big Bill Phillips was
on the rubber for the visitors, and
eight full innings had elapsed before
an Apostle crossed the plate
Indeed, the two first batsmen in the
ninth had gone back to the barn when
Shugart, who, two innings before, had
gotten two bases on a "sun-ball' to
Hogriever's corner, met the sphere
again with the heavy end of his stick
and drove 1t straight down the field
just inside the right foul line and be-
tween the big Chief MOtz. and the can
vas sack. Shugart ran like a Chippe-
wa himself. and made two sacks there
by. ''Tacks" PARROT did not delay
the game at all. The first ball Phil
lips pitched to him was two Or three
feet higher than the head of
the Apostolic left fielder, but he
reached for it just to show how he
could bat, and bounced it high in the
air, only to drop back of Flynn and far
from either Mcfarland or Mccarthy.
That removed the incubus Of a shut
out, anyway. Spies batted a grounder
to Stewart, which scared Asa till he
turned as pale as a park policeman
In runaway. and he could not have
stopped anything that was not standing
still. The ball bounded to Flynn, who
has also had a siege of the blind stag
gers, vertigo, or momentary uncon-
sciousness, and Parrot went to third
while Spies was incontrovertibly safe
at first 1t looked as though the Saints
might be going to put on their batting
clothes and slug the game out in an
old-time, ninth-inning, grand-stand
finish, but it was not written in the
DEGREES of fate, evidently, for Holdings
worth only drove a high-stepper down
TO Phillips, who threw the second boy
out at first
Mullane was in the box for the locals,
ana he was beaten. He was battel
for dozen hits and gave a quartet Of
bases, and it was only sharp play that
kept the HOOSier tally sheet in as small
figures as it was st. Paul took the
field first again, and Hogriever opened
the ball with a line hit over second,
but was thrown out shortly at first
Indianapolis claimed a balk, but they
IL,
and 1t did not linger. Nyce ate up
Gray's foul fly and Mcfarland sent
an Andree to George.
st. Paul also sent but three men to
the plate, Mcbride and Nyce giving
flies to the outfeld, while Stewart
threw George out.
In the second, Mcbride took two flies
and Parrot one, and Mcfarland and
Mccarthy did the same fielding they
had in the first. Two were out when
Parrot solved Phillips enigmatical
curve for a good hit to right field.
Spies followed it with low line drive
directly over second base, but Hollings-
worth hit the sphere high in the air
IN vain endeavor to straighten out
wild pitch. so both hits were wasted
when Wood caught the dropper
Flynn, the Nemesis of Mondays
ninth, was again presented with a base
on balls, but the next three batted the
ball in the air, and, when Mullane
opened st. PauFs half with a safe one
through Phillips own bailiwick, it
looked as though st. Paul had a shade
the best of it. Tony, however, was
caught between first and second, get
ting, little Of his own trick. Mcbride
struck out, and Nyce gave Gray a fly.
Nyce then evened up on Gray by
throwing him out, and Mcbride took
Mctarland's fly. MotZ hit g low drive
away from him in the distant section.
Motz went to third base and scored
when Shugart fumbled McCarthy's
grounder. Stewart struck out, and that
kept the score down.
Gray made a fine throw on George.
but Phillips presented Glascock with a
base Shugart gave Motz warm one,
and advanced Glasscock, who had sto-
Len second, to third, but Parrott's fly
to Hogr1ever left the locals still
BANKED.
Indianapolis fifth opened with a safe
hit by Flynn, good drive through the
region just east of south of second
base. Wood scratched in a pinky bunk
which Nyce and Shugart were una Bile
to surround, and Flynn went around to
third, scoring a little later on Phillips
fly TO Mcbride. Tony presented Ho-
griever with four, and after striking
out Gray, filled the sacks with a pass
for Mcfarland, in which Umpire Daily
did not shine IS resplendently as the
