The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-15

Columbus pennant chasers showed
W well with the stick yesterday, the
ex-league sluggers that Tom Lotus
has gathered together batting the ball
in old time form. Tebeau made four
successful hits, Of which one was for
two and one for three sackes. Jack
Crooks redeemed himself for a muff
of an easy fly by three safe hits, two
Of which were for three bases, and
would have been for four for some one
who was not carrying Jacks avOir-
dupois with him. Sandow Mertes
swung on the ball three times. and
every one on the team met it safely
at least once.
Before such sluggers the st. Paul
pitchers went down. Fricken started
the game. but after three hard ones
in the second, and six more in the
third. Manager Comiskey sent Tony
Nullane in. The game was lost then,
as it turned out, for Mcbride, George
ard HOllingswOrth were the only
Saints who were batting faster than
usual Tony, with proper support,
would have held them we'll down, only
two of the runs earned by the Discov-
pitchers was made.
McBrides batting, by the way, was
almost as much of a feature as that
q the Columbians. Four times he
drove the ball through safely, and
when he came up a fifth time, in the
seventh inning, he drove one into
Eumpus Jones shin so hard that it
was mostly by good luck that the little
fellow was able to get it to first base
in time to retire the side.
McBride's contribution in opening
the game was a beautiful drive
over Crooks head. Nyce got a bouquet
and hit one to the same field, but
Gsnins caught it. Glasscock tried the
same locality and his, like McBride's,
fell safe, Mcbride went to third and
Glasscock stole second shortly after.
George, however, gave McGarr a pop
VI and Shugart dropped a foul in
Tebeaus glove so the locals did not
score. Hulen gave Mcbride a fly, but
Mertes hit safely over second base.
"Sand7W' stole second and Spies
threw high. Sandow thought the ball
was going into the field and started
for third, but Hollingsworth reached
high after the sphere, pulled it down,
and Sandow was caught away be-
tween the bases. Genins gave PARROT
a fly and the inning was a double
blank.
Parrot hit a hot one. Jones stuck
his right hand in front of it and it
bounded where MCGarr could not get
It in time to throw Tacks out. Spies
sacrificed and HOllingsworth sent the
ball TO Crooks. F'ricken got a bouquet
also and famed the air.
Frank hunted, but was thrown out
T2beau put q tWo-bagger down the
right foul line low and Crooks drove
long one into center for three sacks.
McCiarr sent a single through the
corner adjoining third base, and Buck
ley bunted. McGarr tried TO go from
first 20 third on Spies throw to first
and Glasscock shot the ball across the
diamond to Nyce, completing a double
play.
McBride's second single opened the
third, hut he was doubled out on
Nyce $ grounder TO Crooks. Glasscock
was sent to first in walk, but was
nipHed trying to steal second
BunUu5' Jones opened Columbus half
with q good drive down the middle of
The field. Hulen and Mertes hunted
IN each case Glasscock fielded the ball,
leaving the base unprotected. This
It4lSN liz SUCKS. GenlHS Grove two of
them in with a hard hit to left field.
Frank struck out, but Tebeau again
smashed the ball this time for three
bases and the Columbians had four in.
Crooks hit to Shugart and Tebeau was
caught at the plate, although he spiked
Spies badly as ne slid in. Nyce gave
NcGarr a life, and Buckley's safe drive
scored another before Jones flew out to
PaIrCtt.
George was presented with four balls.
ard Shugart hit 10 right field for two
bases. Parrot few out to Genins. and
Spies hit a fly to Crooks, but Jack
mulfed it. Bumpus Jones was ratified
a little then. and then Hollingsworth
hit enc into him so hot that he could
not hold it. Mullane was put into the
game, and forced HOllingsworth out al
second. McBride's third hit helped the
home team some, however. Three runs
were in. Jones was ugly, and had tC
be admonished by Umpire Daily to pro-
coed with his knitting before he would
get back in the box. Then he hit Nyce
in the side. and Glasscock was up. A
hcma run would have tied the score
but Jacks best was a foul fly to Te-
beau, and the three on bases were left
