The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-08


Back on their native heath again,
the Apostles yesterday batted them
selves into first place in a walk, giving
Reidy, who beat them in the recent
game at Milwaukee, a drubbing that
had in it many of the elements of
terrible revenge. They started at him
in the second inning and kept it up
till the ninth, except in two innings,
when they let up long enough for him
to get a little rest and so appreciate
his disordered mental condition.
The rains of Tuesday night had left
the field in bad shape. bitches had
been cut through the outfield and cycle
track to drain the park, but in vain,
and the entertainments paralleling the
bitches made the work of the imprison-
ed fielders doubly arduous, Yet inspite
of these drawbacks there were COM
paratively few outfield misplays.
Weaver misjudged a fly or two, and
Nicol muffed one he should have got
ten.
1t was in the infield that the team
went to pieces, although the locals
batted hard enough to have won the
game on it's merits by less one sided
score.
Reidy's only base on balls was given
to Mcbride in the first of the game,
and Myers followed it by a tumble of
q short grounder. Glasscock sacrificed,
and George popped a foul to Stafford.
Shugart hit down the line to first and
went out. Three Brewers went out
without reaching first.
PARROT opened the second with a
single, and scored on Spies bunt when
Reidy threw the ball low through
Stafford into the outfield. Nicol drop
ped Hollingsworth's fly and Spies
scored Mullane hunted a foul fly to
Myers, but Mcbride and Nyce hit for
three sacks each. Glasscock, Shugart
and Parrot drew singles, with George
going out on a fly to center. When
Parrot crossed the plate the second
time, the locals had eight runs. A
two-bagger by DAILY and a single by
NicOl gave Milwaukee an earned run,
the only one in the game Nicol was
caught trying to get from second to
the plate on Leewe's single to Tom
Parrot, who threw to the block as
straight as a die.
Mullane's single to right and Nc
Brides two-bagger which Weaver had
trouble getting too on account of the
ditch, gave the locals another in the
third. Weaver scratched in a fly safe
after two were out, but could not get
around. st. Paul went one, two, three
in the fourth, and the safe hits Of
Daily and Blake were lost in a trio Of
pop-ups.
HOllingsworth's two-bagger and Null
lanes single gave the locals still an
Of in a1r i
taken Speer's place in the back stop
after the terrible second, got a life on
NyCe'S error. Weaver hit a sharp
single and it was close on Mack at sec
ond, but Umpire DAILY declared him
safe. Myers hit to Shugart, who threw
Mack out at third and as Stafford
forced Myers out no one scored.
st. Paul did not get the ball out of
the infield for two innings, during
which period there We're some close
calls. NicoPs second single was fol-
lowed by a fly by Leewe, which fell
safe, but on account of it's uncertainty
held Nicol at third. Reidy's pop-up to
HcllingswOrth retired the side without
a score. McGill went into pitch in the
seventh, and Mack hunted to Nyce, and
beat the ball Weaver hunted the other
way and both were safe, the ball going
high and back of Glasscock; Myers
flew out to Shugart. but McGiI filled
the bags with four wide ones Daily
popped Glasscock an easy one, but Nc
Gill gave two more bases and forced
IN two more runs before the side was
retired on a fly to center.
In the eighth, with one out. Nyce
and GlasscOck singled safely. Myers
and Stafford fell down on ground balls.
and a single, with Mack's muff of a
throw, on Spies grounder to Myers,
resulted in a total of four runs for
the locals. Weaver hit McGill safely.

with Mack's bad throw over second
base, gave the locals two more in the
final inning. McGill gave Stafford a
base but a double play cleared the
bags when DAILY hit to Shugart. Shu-
CART then threw badly on Nicol's
grOunder, but Blake famed the air, and
the game was at an end
