The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-09-04

hard one to center and Miller muffed
it. That gave the locals their oppor-
tunity. Geiel's gIounder TO koat,
though it forced out Burke, drove Spies
across the plate and saved a shutout,
Geier beating a double play. Daub lost
control Of the ball and GenaITln walk
ed. The sacks were full again. Isbeil
tapped a slow one at Roat, who could
not field it in time to throw out any or
the runners, Denzer scored. Shugarts
tWo-base drive to right scored three
more, and Shugart came in When
Deadly muffed Comiskey's fly. Commy
had not intended to waste any Wlnd
running on it, but he had to go down
to first to play the sack, so he counted
anyway. Daub was evidently in bad
way. Sharpe and ROat were up con-
doing with him about what had hap
pened and holding a Sampsonian con-
ference as to what he had better Go
next, and evidently assuming that
Comiskey would stand without a hitch
ing in any climate. The veteran SEEM
ed disposed to let we'll enough alone,
but his face was a false one. He was
wondering whether he could make sec
from the sack.
Look out" yelled Chauncey Fisher
to the cOnSpiI atOrS.
Sharpe hurried to his sack and
awaited the ball, reached for 1t with
ore hand and reached for Comiskey,
but dropped the ball. There IS serl-
Gus question in many minds whether
Peck did not drop the ball purposely
as a reward for Commy's Hobsonian
dash. Gillen hit to Eustace, who
caught Comiskey at third.
That made it better. The locals
were but two behind, and Denzer
braced up. Gillen's muff of Wrights
he icif q
the best of it. but the next two went
out on outfeld flies. and Daub gave
Glenalvin a sky-scraper.
Fisher sent himself into pitch, and
Sharpe threw out Spies and Denzer
before the locals got a start in the
eighth. Burke hit a sharp one at Roat,
who threw to first. Wright's foot was
but he probably would have beaten
the ball anyway. Geier hit hot
one which Eustace tried to stop, but
could not. The ball was delayed in
the Outfield return, but the runners
were held at second and third. and
Glenalvin flew to Deadly.
Shugart's error gave Fleming life
as the ninth started. but Eustace's
grounder to Gillen forced him out.
Sharpe in turn forced Eustace, double
plays being narrowly escaped in both
instances. Deadly put a safe hit in
front of Geier, but Roat only gave
Glenalvin a pop-up.
st. Paul needed two to tie and three
to win. Isben batted a stiff one at
Wright. Fisher chased to the sack,
but dropped the ball, and the big fell
low was safe. Shugart lined the ball
down to right field for three sacks. in
spite of a pretty good stop by Miller
Commy modestly sent Phyle to bat in
his stead. and Phyle drove out a sin,
gle, just as he did in a similar pinch
the day before. That tied the score,
and Willie took a chance on reaching
second, but was thrown out. But
Fisher gave Gillen base, Spies flew
to center, but Denzer sent a good sin
gle where Deadly could not get it. 1t
was up to Burke, as it has been ever
so often during the last few games.
Burke hit to Roat. Fred tried to trap
the sphere in the dirt, but 1t leaked
out Of his hands somewhere and went
into the field. Fleming started after
the ball, but Deadly. as soon as he saw
Gillen cross the plate, yelled to Flem-
ing to let the ground-keeper get the
ball, for the bus was going to start in
a minute.
