The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-08-26

The Apostles covered the impertinent
Grand Rapids surprises yesterday with
Vari-colored samples of defeat. The
Michigan outfit had young man
named Brady in the box. Mr.. Brady
did not pitch against st. Paul the last
time the team was here, and it was
his first local appearance. His profess
sional debut. such as it was, suffered
somewhat from the amateurs matinee
suggestiveness of some of the play III
the field behind him. although. as a
matter of fact, eighteen hits in eight
innings off any pitcher is not a plume
in his helmet.
The locals came out of their somno-
lence of the last few days and piled
the willow against the leather with an
ease and grace that recalled wildly
the old times when ST. Paul and not
Watty's men led the league.
Denzer, in contrast with Brady, had
his opponents completely at his mercy,
The only time they showed for a min
ute was in the third and fifth innings,
when they did manage to score.

Saints from the second. The visitors
by daring base running.
Although Mcbride struck out and
Glenalvin was caught at second after
a safe hit in the first, Brady filled the
sacks with twelve straight wild ones,
and Sammy Gillens single, with the
sacks distended, scored two runs be-
fore Isbell gave McKibben a fly.
Mckinney opened the second for the
BobOlinks, but threw a hit away steal
ing second. Denzer gave a base later,
but struck out Driscou immediatel fol-

out, Denzer. pounded one well back in
the field for two bases, Algernon walked
and Glenalvin's single scored Roger.

Bride scored. George hit safely, and
sent in Glenalvin
With two of the visitors out on flies,
TWineham drove clean home run out
through the space between Isbell and
Mcbride. Nyce muffed high fly there
after on which Campau got to second
base, but the error cost nothing.
Gillen lined out a second safe hit,
and Isbell put pretty warm one into
Griffin. Spies and DenZer were thrown
out at first, but Mcbride hit safely and
McKinney's tumble gave Glenalvin a
life. Glasscock and George batted the
ball hard, and when a throw-in went
through Twineham, Glasscock scored
the fifth run of the inning. Nyce's pop
up to Camel finally retired the side
The fourth opened, as had the second,
with a single by Mckinney, but Griffin
forced him out. McKibben famed and
Driscoll gave Mcbride a fly. Gillen
and Isbell again hit safely, and the
former scored when Slagle dropped
Spies fly. Isbeu was caught off first,
and DenZer flew out to Feer, who had
taken Twineham's place.
Roger opened the fifth by giving
Brady a base on balls, and Slagle hit
a seemingly easy grOunder to Gillen,
which bounded over Sammy's head just
as did the hit which lost the game
Tuesday. Feer followed with a single
which scored two runs, but the next
three went out on outfield flies before
Feer could get around.
Glenalvin opened st. Paul's half with
a twO-base drive over short and after
Glasscock's fly was caught by Cam
pau, Glen went to third, and home

low throw. Nyce was hit by a pitched
ball and stole second, he going to
third and George home on Feers high
throw. Gillen flew out to Slagle. but

run of the inning, and DriscolI threw
Mcbride out.
Two infield grounders and a strike

while Glenalvin opened st. Pauls half
with a triple this time, a fine drive
down the deep left field. Glasscock's
single scored one, and George was
again given his base. A new man
named Marshall went to bat in Nyce's
place, and was also given base Gill

but Glasscock scored. Isbeu sent Nc
Kinney a FOUL fly, and Spies, after be-.
ing hit by pitched ball, was forced
out by Denzer. That made the score
II to 3, which proved to be final.
The BObolinks sent out three more
easy infield grounders in the seventh,
although Feer did vary the monotony
with a good single after two were out.
The Saints were BANKED for the first
time, Mcbride and Glasscock giving
Driscoll grounders, and Glenalvin a
fly to McKibben.
