The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-19
M'GiLL TO PITCH.
He VIII Try Out DetrOit's Hard
HitterS.

st. Paul and Detroit will play their last
game of the present series at Lexington park
this afternoon, play to begin at 3:45. McGfll
will probably pitch for the locals, and either
Egan or Thomas for the Tigers
Nyce reappeared in the game at third yes
terday, and his playing showed a vim that
was new. 1t was not perfect, as the error
column shows, but he went after Steinfeldt's
hard rap in the second inning in way that
showed that he was not afraid of the error
column, if Comiskey could stand it. 1t may
be remarked, too, that it was a phenomenally
pretty catch Of his in the finish of the ninth
which prevented the Tigers from taking the
game then and there, instead of having to
play ten innings for it.
Dungans record in right field yesterday is
one of the sensations of the season. Nothing
like it has been seen here.
Steinfeldt was batting like league leader.
He was so busy in fact running to first, that
he has not had time to have his Knockers
Numbered.
Shugart and Phyle suffered as much as any
from DunGan's right fed catches. The short
stop three of his pets eaten up, while two
of Willies went the same way.
The Dispatch intimates that the flowing bowl
is to blame for the downfall of the Apostles.
The G is assured that this is not true
and that, in fact, the members Of the team
are high minded students of natures poetry
that during the moonlight nights of the past
week, several members of the team have been
seen late as II O'Clock on the bridge at
Fort Smelling, reVeling in the siihouetteS of
the old barracks, and wondering why so much
trouble was spent in making the river water
beneath when no one wants to drink it who
does not have to.
Umpire DAILY had a very bad eye in the
tenth. Wadsworth was plainly out on strikes
before he was given his base on balls.
Both shugart and Nyce made some pretty
catches, but spoiled their work everlastingly
by their frightful work on ground balls.
DUNCAN had eight put-outs, two of them
cutting off home runs.
twenty squares on the board, a state
of things seldom equaled in a ball game.
The errors of the st. Paul team came in
pairs and the runs of the visitors in about
the same way.
Of the sixty games which the local team
has yet to play twenty-nine are to be played
at home and thirty-one away.
The record of the st. Paul team at home
this trip is eight games won and seven lost
On its play at home in May it won nineteen
and lost seven. 1t has nine more to play at
home before leaving, one with Detroit and
four each with Indianapolis and Grand Rap
ids
st. Paul has no show for the pennant and
will have to play very hard to prevent Mil
waukee from closing the season in third
place. OF its remaining sixty games st. Paul
must play twenty-five, over one-third with
Indianapolis and Columbus.
Wadsworth was hit safely fifteen times,
gave seven bases on balls and made three
wild pitches, and yet his team won the game
This gives some notion of the costliness of
the punches of errors of Shugart and Nyce.
1t will be many a long day before Sammy
DUNCAN again gets eight put-outs in the
outfeld. But for his sharp work. Shugart
would have had at least two home runs
Nichol is something of a bail player him
self. He slid around the bases four times.
Hump yourselves there. Minneapolis Kan
sas City is coming up the line on a run.
After the Grand Rapids series. st. Paul will
play Indianapolis six games, four in st. Paul
and two in Indianapolis.
