The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-09-13

In fifteen innings yesterday the KAN
sas City cowboys, once known as the
wild and untamed terrors Of the West
ern league, succeeded in piling up a
total Of two runs against st. Paul
pitchers. One of these was in the
eighth inning of the first game, barely
saving a shut-out The other was in
the sixth inning of a much CLOSER
game, but, when it came, the I<aws
decided to pass the contest UP, and not
risk being caught in the storm of the
night, which was even then lowering,
after threatening all day. So game
called for darkness" goes.
Phyle pitched the first game, and
was hit seven times. F'ricken pitched
the second, and, in the sultry wealth
er, he was in his element. He, too, was
hit seven times Gear was likewise hit
seven times, but the series of seVens
cast all it's traditional good luck on
the SANITY City side of the contests.
Pardee, he that has been niCllnamed
Rusie, followed in the wake of his
patron saint, the idol of the metro
politan bleachers, and was slaughtered
even more mercilessly in the first game
than was Amos in the Brooklyn game
of Saturday.
The young plainsman was wild. I'm
pire Cushman could not see his curves
at all. Seven bases on balls were pre-
scented by the new phenomenon of the
Fourth of July league in the West,
Some Of them the fans did not concur
in, but they were enforced, neverthe-
less. Even had they not been, the
fourteen safe drives that the locals
piled up on the young man that Man
ming adopted few weeks ago should
have entitled the Apostles to win one
more game, and pull still closer to the
coveted, but hardly expected, Free
Press cup.
The second game, however, was the
exciting one, Starting with a hit, the
locals were subjected to double play
in the first inning, and BANKED. Kan
sas City got two on bases without any
one out, but Fricken struck out two,
and Gillen tossed the ball over on the
the third one, thrilling the bleachers
almost to the topmost thrill. Then
the locals scored one, but the visitors
had two on bases, and a double play
was perpetrated on ROach's low liner
to Fricken, which would have been a
ready. In the fourth Gillen lined out
8 homer, after Gear had hit GlaSScock.
The KaWs got two on bases, and
Roach might have tied, but he could
not hit the ball farther than second
base Only six men batted in the fifth,
and in the sixth two triples only net
ted the locals one run, so far apart
were they A three-bagger by Nc
Wicker and single gave the visitors
one run, and, after a double play had
prevented further damage, the Cow
boys quit the darkening field.
The first game, which ended with a
Chicago convention cross of gold, Is
to 1 score, opened on the basis where
all stood even, and remained so for an
entire inning Connaughton followed
q catch of McBride's pop-up by a low
throw Of Nyces grounder, but two
flies to Menefee saved expense from
his careleSSneSS. He secured base
on four bad ones after two were out,
and went to his usual position when
Gillcn threw McVicker out at first
Isbell tried to beat a bunt and fail
ed, Pardee getting the ball in a hurry
Then the Western Rusie hit Gillen
Spies hit to Connaughton, who fun
bled long enough to spoil a double
play. although he did get Gillen at
second Hollingsworth watched four
wild ones. and Phyle dropped fly safe
near the lelC FOUL line between E'lcKGlt,
Connaughton and Menefee. Spies
scored. Mcbride walked and the sacks
were full Pardee hit Nyce and forced
in a run. Georges single brought in
two more before Pickett threw Glass
cock out. After two KaWs had gone,
Gear hit a safe one over Gillen, and
Blanford got base on balls, Phyle
seeming to be afraid of repetition Of
the scene of July when he nearly sent
Rlanford into eternity With a fast one.
-four came over on the other side of
the plate from where Blanford was
standing, and the catcher walked, but
the ST. Cloud boy made a fine stop on
a bunt by Pardee we'll toward third
base, and retired the side with a pretty
throw to first.
In the third Gillen got q base and
SPIES a single, but Connaughton start
ed a double on HOBS grounder. Nichol-
son hit safely and stole second in spite
of the heavy track, but got no further.
McBride's base on balls, three-bag-
Ger by Nyce, that gave both Menefee
and Gear lively chase, and Glass
cocks safe drive that was too warm
for Nicholson gave the Saints two
more. Mcbride took three flies, and
Kansas City did not even get to first
base.
