The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-04-23

Special to the Globe.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 22.-Like
stone wall stood the Saints infield
this afternoon, but for a pair of errors
by Jack Glasscock, and while there
were some minutes of rejoicing for the
local admirers of the game early in the
game, never, from the time that the
blare of the brass band ceased, and
Mayor Jones pitched the first ball over
the plate, until the waning sun H.
Illuminated the mystic but mournful
figures-107-on the bulletin board, did
the Blues forget that they were in a
ball game, and with swift company
The brilliant galaxy of talent which
Old Comanche Comiskey has gathered
from the Blue Range mountains to
Kerry patch saddened the hearts and
dashed the hopes of the local cranks,
but they will be out again tomorrow
for 1t was one of those games in which
the feeling prevails that if you look
around to buy a sack Of peanuts you
are likely to miss the hottest part Of It,
Hard hitting characterized the work of
both teams, but the Saints nfield ate
up hot ones like the sealing wax phe-
nCmenon in the museum curio hall
and Shugart played an errorless game
sticking to everything that came his
way as though he were the master and
not a mere advance agent of prosperity
Phyle was in phine phettle, and phor a
phull game kept them well in hand
although at times hit hard Neither
Abbey nor Johnson was anything like
as steady as Comiskeys Minnesota boy,
who not only put the ball over the plate,
but fielded a game that had much In
it to remind the locals Of their de-
parted idol, Jimmy Callahan For
three innings it looked as though Man
ning's ex-BrOoklynite was going to be
invincible, but in the third the Com
1skeyan sluggerS managed to get in one
run, and after that it was all Off A
very yellow error by Connaughton
helped them to slug the score up to u
and Johnson went into the box to give
his southern wing some exercise.
Johnson had speed and curves to burn,
but before he had found the plate with
any reasonable definiteness, the Saints
had started in to do little cauterizing
themselves. Three runs in the fifth gave
the winning lead, and, while the home
team pulled up close in the seventh,
st. Paul "got 'em right back in the
eighth, with three hits. Except in these
two innings he pitched excellent ball,
but in vain.
AT the getaway it looked as though
the Blues would be four-time winners,
and when, with two men out and Ban
non on second, Capt Carney lifted his
hickory hard against the horse hide
and knocked it far out beyond Nc
Brides usual bailiwick for a home
run, all Kansas City forgot the raging
Missouri and the midnight maraudings
of firebugs, so wrapt were they in ad
nliration Of Mannings new first mag
nitude star. In the second and third
innings the new captain had chance
t. show his team managing ability,
and under his direction well timed hit
ting and sacrificing brought in scien
tific scores one in each. Here, how
ever, was where the Saints began to
brace up, and after that the Blues
were shut out until the seventh. Jimmy
Bannon'S tWo-bagger which drove in
the two runs in the eighth, made that
young man popular favirite also, but
the locals could not keep up the lick,
and went down to defeat.
Both the Kansas City and st. Paul
mines wore their new suits for the first
time. The Saints clothes were shipped
here The new suits for Mannings men
are of white flannel, with brown
trimmings. The letters *. c." are
worked in monogram on the left breast
of the shirts, instead Of having one
letter on one breast and one on the
other, as they are on the blue suits.
The caps are brown bicycle style, and
the shirts have wide brown collars,
that will help to set them off. The
white uniforms are to be used at home
all summer, and the blue ones on the
road The score:
