The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-09-14

One run each day seems to be the
limit of the ambition of the Kansas
City team, and even though Manager
Manning sent out into the prairies last
night to bring to base ball life again
the once discarded remains of Pitcher
William Carney, at no time during
yesterdays game were the Cowboys
within sight of victory.
Denzer, who faced the Missourians,
was as insoluble as the granite foun-
dations of the new capitol, and the
Cowboys only were able to secure
their much coveted single score in the
fifth inning, when Sammy Gillen
slipped in the grass, wet from a show
er which had occurred during the
game, and made a bad throw by first
base, on which Carney, from a single.
scored, and Menefee, who gave Gilien
his opportunity, went around to third.
Carney was wild in the first three
innings, and the numerous bases he
presented contributed largely to the
score although a succession Of five
hits, one of them a double, all after
two were out in the third, piled UP
the total of ten which faced Kansas
City throughout. After the third, Car
ney had the locals guessing, and the
game was quick thereafter, being I'm
ished ten minutes shorter than any
game played on the local field this sea-
son.
The Cowboys went to bat first, it
being very likely contingency that
four and a half innings might be d
a
came. Menefee. lined out a beautiful
drive directly over second base, and
while he was forced out by Nichol-
son, Connaughton helped the thing by
q hot one to Denzer. Roger could not
hold it, but HollingsWorth did, and
threw the short stop out. McVicker's
foul to Glasscock, taken we'll up in the
cycle track near the right bleacher,
ended the half.
Local fans were given a diversion
by the appearance of Preston as first
to bat, McBrlde's ankle being in bad
shape yet. Pickett, by fast throw,
caught the substitute off first. Carney
was as wild as a yearling colt and
gave Nyce and George bases in quick
succession. Glasscock singled, scoring
double steal which scored another. II
Vas close at the plate on George. Is
oelPs tWo-bagger, a nice drive down
he right foul line, scored Glasscock,
and three runs were in when Glilen
struck out and, after Spies got base.
HOllingSWOrth sent Gear fly.
Gear wasted a two-bagger in the
wake of two foul flies, and Kansas
City was again BANKED.
Denzers base on balls was followed
ny two pop-ups, after which Carney
presented George with four bad ones.
200. Glasscock and Isbell Strengthened
out the Carney curves for a base each
and scored two runs before Gillen was
sent to the bench by Gear.
A strike out and two foul flies pre-
rented an error by Gillen from giving
he visitors a score, even if it did give
Nicholson three bases. Sammy threw
he ball badly, and it went to the
DleacherS.
St Pauls last runs, it turned out
we're to be secured in the third Spies
presented with a base, was forced out
9y Holiingsworth, and NicholsOn's
throw cut off Denzer, handily. Pres
ion, however, opened a bouquet which,
,n counting, was found to consist OF
i've successive hits, Glasscock's being
1 double, and when Gillen came up.
i've runs were in. Connaughton fun
oled Sammy's grOunder, but Spies
went out for the second time in the
inning, on grounder to Nicholson, be-
:ore any other run could be scored.
After McVicker's pOp-up to Gillen,
pickett's single, and GlassCock's fail
ire to catch Spies throw on Meeks'
short hit, gave the visitors a chance.
Gear, however, sent a grounder to Gil
en- and a double play, quickly work.
ID, retired the side, still BANKED.
Menefee took flies from the first two.
A pitched ball hit Preston, but Nyce
'ouled one to Blanford, and the fifth
vas called. The shower which had
threatened to stop the game, now
cleared up. Blanford was out to Glass
cock before Carney obtained first base
IN slow one to Gillen. which could
aot be thrown to first base in time to
cut off the happy pitcher. Menefee
gowled a ball through the wet grass
20 GiIlen, who got it, but in throwing
,lipDed and the ball went by Glass
cock to the bleachers. Carney scored
and Jack went to third Two flies,
however. kept him from scoring. The
locals wasted two singles by Glass
sock and Isbell, the fourth safe hit for
Zach. by the way, in an ocean OF pop
lps.
Preston took two flies, and Hollings-
worth threw out Pickett.
Flies to Nicholson and Menefee and
