The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-05-15

going to be any run made that inning
it would have to be right then. He
picked out one that was shooting across
the corner of the plate farthest from
him, balanced his bat nicely, and man
aged to meet the sphere with the. tip
of his club little before 1t reached
him. 1t went over Kuehne's head like
shot out from gun, and there was
moment of suspense lest 1t should
fall foul, but it dropped safely just in
side the foul line. Glasscock scored
and Isabel went to second. He had
to slide, but he made it, and st. Pauls
only run was earned.
AS may be gathered from the fore
going remarks and the appended score
Mr.. Figgemeier Is pretty good pitch
er. and if he ever pitches game bet
ter than he did yesterday the big
leaguers will be looking in his direction
with wistful eyes. It was the first day
that Nyce. the star hitter Of the To-
Gals, had failed to make hit since the
Sunday the Saints and the Brewers
played at Lexington park, nearly two
weeks.
But there are other pitchers. This
young man Isabel is one of them.
He comes here from North Branch,
community on the st. Paul & Du-
luth railroad. heretofore noted mostly
for potatoes and wild and woolly pur-
suits of daring murderers. He Is a
stalwart fellow, big-boned and mas
sive looking, with an arm that looks as
though it. would last fourteen innings
i as easily as one, He has been stu
dent at Manchester college. and as such
/ pitched CONSERVATION into the ranks
of the other college teams here. He
trained with the Saints bit last year
without any signal success. But he
went in yesterday and had little fun
with the Millers. He took the last four
innings. and seven of the dusties in
turn faced him before one could hit the
ball safe. But three hits were made
off him in four innings, and one Of
these a scratch, on which Glasscock
fell and could not recover himself in
time to get the ball and the base, too.
Isabel will be given another of the
Minneapolis games if Phyle's leg does
not permit him to pitch by Monday.
Brush, the Cedar Rapids boy, was
given a trial by Comiskey yesterday
and he proved wild at the start. He
gave three bases on balls in the first
inning, but sharp fielding kept the runs
down to one, which would have been

Ter to spoil a double play, on which
Dan Lally scored.
Then Figgemeier went in, and it was
a foul fly to Boyle, a strike out and a
grounder to Ball.
Brush gave three more bases, but,
with one out. Lally hit high foul.
Spies and Glasscock both went after
it and the catcher got it. The two were

there when Kuehne started to steal
from third. Brush got to the plate
and Kuehne went out.
PARROT pop-up to Ball, George a
light one to Cassidy and Glasscock a
grounder to short, and still the Saints
had not reached first base.
Brush was hit for the first time when
the head Miller smashed the leather
over the right field fence. Doggie,
Pickett and Cassidy followed with safe
singles. Nyce made a fine stop on the
last one. but could not get the ball
to first. Two runs were in and one
more came when Preston lost Kuehne's
easy one. Boyle hit to Brush, who
got him at first. Glasscock threw to

pire did not see it that way. That
and Figgemeier's single made a diff

score, which, however, was not mater
ial as it turned out. It was then 6 to 0.

then hit safely, also the first in the
game, and the Saints had a moment

one, but it dropped in Lallys hands
and away they went again.
A home run. base on balls, and
Pickett's two Dagger gave the home
team two more, making it eight moth

Nyce gave Lally a hard run, but
PARROT could not hit beyond Figge-

impulsive fashion.
A base on balls. Balls third. and

Again the Saints went one, two,
three.
Isabel then went in, and much to
the enjoyment of the st. Paul con-
tingent, the Minnies had a Sample of
the one two three proposition, none
of them being able to get the ball out
of the infield. It was the same way
little used to that. The Millers went
one, two. three again, although this
time Ball did get a fly as far as
George Isabel was making something
of an impression.
Three Apostles tried in vain to get
the ball back of the bases, and it was
getting somewhat monotonous.
Lally took dose of Isabell's medi-
cine too, but the fault finding captain
did find the ball safely for two bases
over the fence. He stole third and
came home on Miller's grounder to
Preston, making it IL to zero. Pickett
hit over Isabell's head. The big one
reached for it and pulled 1T down q
little so Shugart could get it to the
bag in time, and that inning was
over.
Glasscock made the double which
started Figgy's only trouble, and st.
PauPs one run resulted as already de-
scribed.
In the NINTH, Cassidy hit to Glass
Geek, who got the ball, but turned his
ankle and fell. Isabel got the ball,
but Cassidy beat him to the bag, or at
least the umpire thought so. Kuehne.

him with short one to Figgy, and
Preston stole third after Miller had
