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

captain and pseudo manager OF the
athletic aggregation in white suits
threw himself into the breach. His
minds eye saw beatific visions of dis
play heads in the morning papers, like
walter Saves the Game" and that
sort of thing. There are certain drugs
that inspire such phantasies Trotting
horses have had the tendons in their
legs fired, and they ran like the real
steam for five furlongs or so. Walter
isn't a trotting horse, but he has been
scorched himself He paused before
walking to the plate. He exercised re-
markable care in the selection of the
bat in order that not one of the i'm
patient spectators might fail to observe
the humiliation of the young pitcher
and the spontaneous entrance of the
once great batsman into the crisis of
the contest. Haughtily he walked to
the plate. Did Jack Barnett take to
the woods? Not a woods. He did not
have any more timber than a Kansas
farm after a cyclone. But he pitched
the ball over. The crowd was breath
less with anticipatiVe excitement. The
hannel-padded upper arm of the vet
eran Vibrated under the electrical i'm
pulse that surcharged all in the park.
He swung his stick to meet the flying
sphere. 1t did meet it, High in the air
the ball sailed. A pinky punk pop fly
dropped in the capacious glove of
Heine Spies, who had hardly had to
move from his place behind the bat.
The game was a snappy one from
start to finish. Mcbride hit a fly to
kuehne at the start, which the Count
muffed, Algernon reached third, and yet
dld not score, through sharp play fol-
lowing
Carney opened the Millers' half with
safe single. but the antipodean bat
ting order could not push him around.
In the second the youthful twirler went
to pieces somewhat. PARROT hit a
liner over Eustace, but Miller took in
a fly and ROat killed Spies grounder.
Then Carney walked Holly and Bar
nett and hit Mcbride, forcing in st.
Paul's first run. Kuehne singled in
the second with but one out, but never
got around. Then for three innings the
Saints hit only one ground ball. An
other man struck out, and the seven
others We're put out on flies. In the
third, Boyle and Ball both hit safely,
but Boyle was caught trying to make
third on the second hit.
In the fourth Eustace went out on
a grounder to Shugart. but Cartwright
hit safely. Kuehne hit to Shugart, who
did not get the ball cleanly and spoil
ed double play. 1t was close at sec
ond, but Smith said Cartwright was
safe. Roat popped a foul to Spies, but
Miller's fine single scored Cartwright.
Then Barnett settled down and
for four innings the Millers only saw
first base once and that was in the
sixth, when Kuehne again hit safely.
Meantime, in the sixth, George open
ed with a strong double to the left
fence, which Kuehne, perhaps, mis-
judged a little. Nyce and Parrot fol-
lowed with singles, and two runs were
scored. Carney again settled down, and
of the next thirteen men who faced
him, only one got away from the plate
safe, and that was Shugart, who hit
for two bases at the opening of the
ninth, but was unable to make the cir
cult.
And that carries it up to the last
half of the ninth, the details of which
were previously touched upon. The
