The st. Paul base ball club resembles
in its meteoric uncertainty the little
girl In the nursery jingle, who, when
she was good, was very very good,
and when she was bad she was horrid.
Friday the team played sensational
ball from one end of the blackboard
to the other, and the Hoosiers we're
as plainly out of place as a daguerreo-
type in a kaleidoscope ribbon.
Yesterday the Apostles took the other
end of it. They could not have canght
the hour hand of a good fast watch,
and in throwing, why, they left the
other fellows as safe as hens in the
flower garden of a girls boarding
school.
With the bat they were passable.
They pounded Phillips twice as hard as
they did when he was here before, but
they made their hits, most of them,
when hits were a drug on a slow mark
ct. Ill the visitors struck the iron
While it was hot and cashed singles
and doubles and triples into runs with
a show of thrift and rapid realization
that would have made Russell Sage
turn green with envy.
On the bases, however the Apostles
were conspicuously in evidence. There
were some of them there almost al
ways. Sometimes there were three
there when the side was retired.
But to the tragic narrative. The
first ball that Phillips pitched col
Iided with the bat of AIgernon Mcbride
and gave Flynn a hard but %unevent-
full run toward third base. GlenaIvin
forced Mcbride out. 1t looked like a
double play, but Stewart juggled the
ball too long to permit more than one
out. Glenalvin, however, was thrown
out at second, on a trial to steal, just
before George Strengthened one of
Phillips fine ones out for a four-base
drive to McCarthy's section of the
newly ~boulevarded cycle track. Phil
lips threw Glasscock out, but the locals
had one, and might have had two.
The Hoosiers did not see first base,
Mcbride, GiIlen and Glasscock doing
the work.
Gillen gave Wood a foul, and Nyce
sent a long drive to Hogriever.
Stewart fumbled Spies grounder, but
the error was expenseless, Hollings-
worth sending a pop-up to Flynn.
Mccarthy opened Indianapolis half
with a two-bagger, but Nyce did not get
the ball out of the dirt in time, and
Mccarthy went on to third. Gillen
caught MOTIFS fly, but Woods hit
scored the HoOsiers' opening and tying
run. Stewart CAV Holly a fly, but
Flynn tried him with a grounder and
found him a few chips shy. Phillips
WAS thrown Out Inv Glena1uin
Mullane and Mcbride ven out on
iLield grounders, but Glenalvin and
George put the locals in for a show
again with successive singles back of
short. GlaSscock, however, could only
SEND Stewart a sharp one which was
tielded successfully.
Hogriever sent a liner through Gill
lens yard. Sammy reached for it, but
1t bounced from his hands and out into
the field. George did not get it clean
ly, II HogrieVer went on. He left
second a little too soon, however, and
after some lively scrambling back and
forth, Hogriever was put out. He
claimed Gillen had interfered with him.
They did collide, but the claim was not
allowed. The next two popped high
e. to the infield, and it was still a
tie.
Phillips walked GiIlen, who stole sec
ond. Nyce hit to Flynn, who threw
GiIlen out at third. Phillips threw
Nyce out, catching him off first base
with one of his quick turns. Phillips
hit Spies, and gave Holltngsworth four
bad ones. Mullane hit a warm one to
MOtz, we'll back of the sack. He threw
high to Phillips, Inc while Bill was in
the air, Mullane reached the base, but,
with the sack full, Mcbride famed
three times on Phillips drop ball, and
the nearest he got to it was a foul
which Wood caught just like the
others.
Mccarthy opened INDIANAPOLIS
fourth with q long drive to center,
pretty niSh. The sun bothered Nc
Bride, evidently, and he did not get
il in its descent. It then bounded over
him and back into the field, while the,
entire circuit was made by Mccarthy
handily. M0tz tried one in about the
same place, but Mcbride got that.
Wood placed a fly back of short, and
Stewart drove a grounder through the
same side, both singles. George was
SLOW in getting the ball back in and
Wood scored, too. Flynn walked, Null
lanes only presentation, but Tony
stopped a hot one from Phillips stick,
and Hogriever sent George a fly.
Glenalvin procured a base on four
wide ones, but Gray started a quick
double on Georges grounder. Glass
cock and Gillen, however, followed
with safe hits, and Nyce had an op-
He did give Mcfarland a hard run,
but went out, just the same.
George got Gray's fly, but McFar-
land drove a hard hit into the same
field, n Mccarthy sent a good one
over second base. MOTT hit to Hol-
iingsworth, who threw over Glasscock's
head and Mcfarland scored. Wood
