The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-27

Fourteen innings were necessary yes
+er6av for the much-Vaunted HoosierS,
as the indianapolis base ball team are
known. to wrest a game from the Apos-
ties by the narrow margin of one run,
the said run being entirely gratuitous,
as in fact, were all four of the runs
scored by the visiting club during those
Ions innings.
Nyce was the feature of the game
yesterday. He usually is, but yesterday
his conspicuousness was of an unusual
type. He played a brilliant, even SEN
Sational game for nine innings, max
ing two especially fine catches on nara
foul flies, requiring long runs, but IN
the tenth inning he let ball go
through him on which was scored the
run which compelled the locals to con-
tinue the game to the fourteenth inn
ing.
Spies went back in the game again
yesterday, and he, too, played an error
hess game for thirteen innings. But
in the fourteenth, when the visitors had
two out and Fricken had three strikes
OH the third man, Heine dropped the
ball. and then instead of throwing to
first with precision, hurled the ball
wide. and it went far into right field,
so far in fact, that Gray, who was on
first base, trotted all the way home
with the run that won the game.
1t was another big and busy day for
the Denzer hoodoo. While Roger was
batted for nine safe hits, in the ten
Innings, 1t was not on these hits that
the runs were scored. Hogriever, who
oIa& G,.St inn in
was walked to first base on four wide
ones. Succeeding singles helped to
score him, but neither of the hitters
scored. Flynn, who scored the tying
run in the ninth, was also walked to
first by the liberal Denzer and a pair
of hits brought him in. Mccarthy, who
scored in the tenth on Nyce's error,
did get a well-earned start on a three
base drive, but Gray, he whose foot
steps won the game, ambled to first in
the fourteenth on four successive wide
ones in which Fricken did not even
use a strike for punctuation.
Fricken went into the game rather
suddenly, Preston being thrust in to
bat for Denzer in the TENTH but Hon
pitched fine ball. He had the side re-
tired in the fourteenth runleSS, but for
hit was made off Hon.
1t was an interesting game from start
to finish. Every one in the park, play
er or spectator, was on the qui Vive all
the time, and there was more ginger In
the place than Jamaica has exported
in ten years.
Manager Comiskey sent the Hoosiers
into bat first, Roger Denzer appearing
in the box in white shirt, gray knicks,
and some Sunburn and socks. HOgr1e-
Yer, fat and saucy from long diet of
cCrn-cakes, waited the ball out, Roger
seeming to have some difficulty in fix
inS the plate in his eagle eye. Gray
was next after Hogriever walked, and
he pounded out nice hit over Hollings-
WOrths Pingree garden. The little
right fielder went to third, and scored
when MeFarland's fly dropped safe in
right center, close up. MotZ sacrificed
to HolIingsworth but Nyce made a
fine catch on McCarthy's foul, and
when Spies did as much for Stewart,
the visitors sought the field with two
left on the sacks
Stewart stopped McBride's weak one
and caught Nyce's fly and Foreman,
who was on the rubber for the visitors,
thought he was on Easy street, but it
turned out later that he had the wrong
address. George met one of the Fore
man productions so hard that the ball
gave Charley Mccarthy a run of half
a block or so, and George reached
second in a canter. Glasscock rolled
one to Motz and the big fellow let it
bound TO one side we'll out of reach
George. reached third, and he and
Glasscock planned a double steal Glass
cock pulled off his part of it, Stewart
playing in close to throw back to the
plate and let Glasscock go. George
however, played close to third, until
Steward dropped the ball and it rolled
over to the usual position Of the short
stop, who was covering the second sack
for a possible contingency. George
then capered to the plate before Gray
caught Saugart's fly.
Flynn and Kahoe, flies; Shugart and
Eyce. catches: Foreman swung on the
ball and hit it over second base, but
was left at second when Hogriever hit
to GIasscock. Foreman threw Parrott
out. and Flynn did the same to Spies.
IiOllingsworth hit the ball hard, but
Mccarthy caught 1T.
Gray opened the Hoosiers' third with a
vicious single, which Nyce and Shugart
both tried to get, and the latter did
finally stop, although too late to do
business with. Mcfarland sacrificed,
