The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-16

Phyle avenged the Apostles we'll yes
terday for their Columbian drubbing
of the day before. In five of the nine
innings Lotus men did not reach first.
In two of the others, Glasscock and
PhyIe respectively presented them
with the first sack they secured. In
the other two innings the visitors
earned their ill-ftting spurs by hits
that were so infrequent as to endear
them very much to the struggling play
ers from the Ohio capital.
Only five safe hits they made off
Phyle. and one of these was a bunt
by Crooks, which the tricky second
baseman beat to the bag.
But chief of all the indignities to
which the visitors We're subjected was
the Li-Hung- Changing of Capt. George
Kickapoo Tebeau in the eighth inning,
when the eX-Clevelander was disman-
tied of his robes of power and ushered
into the obscurity of a plebeian bus by
a blue-coated escort of Mayor Doran's
constabulary. The trouble came about
in this way. Columbus had been trail
ing along anywhere from two to six
runs behind the sluggers until the
eighth inning, when Newt Fisher piled
his massive baton against the resilient
sphere and the latter plowed its way
well into center field. 1t was George
Rettger's turn to bat next, and George
had been pitching a nice game, too,
but Capt. Tebeau put Rettger out Of
the game and thrust a benched out
fielder, named Butler. into the breach.
Mr.. Butler was not so many more than
Rettger. Not with the stick anyway.
He went out. OF course, there might
have been a double play if Rettger had
batted the right way Tebeau had
that consolation. But to see this much
heralded Butler get into the game and
fiZZle like the wet end of a Chinese
New Years fire cracker threw cold
water on the hopes of the Columbian
chieftain with the stentorian coaching
mouth. Still, Hulen hit one into right
field, scoring Fisher, and as the pos
sibility of a shut-out vanished from the
captains mind like a. memory Of Dor
rowed money he began to dance all
sorts of steps from a Chippewa berry
jig to a faux pas. When Mertes was
granted first base on four alleged balls,
Hulen naturally advanced to second,
and Tebeau wanted to capitalize the
earth and have the stock divided up
between the Columbus players. Genins'
hit the ball hard but Shugart gather
ed it up tenderly and shot it over to
Hollingsworth at second, a trifle high.
Holly stopped it, and about the instant
he caught it Sandow, who has acquired
an unenviable reputation for playing
dirty ball." pushed Holly off the sack
DAILY called him out, nevertheless, and
Immediately Mr.. Tebeau's good nature
was thrown into a series of creScendo
SpaSmS, which finally became so Vio-
lent as to shake his form from
cap to sole. When Mertes was informed
that the umpire had called him out
he pretended to swoon, and dropped
across the base. The umpire held up
four fingers and d thumb, which in the
graphic signal code of the diamond
meant, evidently, that MerteS attack
Of vertigo would enrich the treasury of
the Western league to the amount of
five large, round dollars About the
time that Mertes started from second
for the ice water barrel to cool his
fevered brow Tebeau started from first
base TO the plate. Addressing Umpire
DAILY in language that was more en-
phatic than polite, he indicated that
A1r. Days happiness in the hereafter
could only be guaranteed by the most
liberal of religious beliefs.
Tebeau was evidently itching, for 3
fight, but he did not get it. Umpire
DAILY felt in all his pockets to see if he
had a battalion of cavalry in there
anywhere, and not finding it, marched
over to the corner of the stand and
cOnversed briefly in English with a no
Iiceman. Mr.. Tebeau evidently knew
what was coming, for he immediately
Crawled under the Columbus bench, in
the hope Of Guiding the vigilance of the
city guardian. Glasscock, however.
kept his eye on the fugitive, while the
stalwart officer, drawing from the re-
Cesses beneath his coat a club almost
as big as Il base ball bat. dug Tebeau
out OF his hiding place. There was
some colioquy. Capt Tebeau said in
all his martial experience he had never
heard Of q captain being logged out of
az arena by high private. The cop
per replied. however, that he did not
have any brass band With him. and
however much he would like TO acceda
TO the captains notions OF decorum, he
thought it would be better if Tebeau
would come along quiet like
