The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-27

The fence at Lexington Park is quite
q ways away, however, and this drive
was only for three bases, although it
cid score Thomas. Geier threw Gan
eel out.
Again the coquettish Thomas deceiv-
ed the unsuspecting Campau, and the
idol of the bleacherS swung his baton
at airy nothings without breaking
them. Geier hit q safe one over short.
On the hit and run scheme he was well
toward the second bag when billiard
threw Milers sharp drive to Camel,
and Geier started for third. Camel
threw the bali to the bleacher on the
way back, and Geier came in again,
demonstrating to the locals that their
good fairy with the pretty spangles
was coming through a trap door some
where, while the evil spirit with the
red and yellow tights was fading away
with a frown on her face. Glasscock
was thrown out on light one to
Thomas.
Hines flew to Campau, but the little
Elberfeld swung on the ball so far
that it went full seventy-five times his
own length, plus the square of the
length of the bat. He made the entire
circuit before Campau and Preston re-
layed the ball in. Buelow struck out.
Shugart threw out Stallings. Hines had
disposed of Shugart, and Stallings had
caught Gillen's fly, so that the fourth
looked like resultless inning when
preston hit stiff drive down the right
foul line. Camel got it back of the
base. He had time to get to the bag
ahead of Preston, but Thomas was
there already and seemd to be anxious
TO fatten his fielding average, so Gan
eel threw the ball. Thomas muffed it,
and Preston was safe. Spies hit hard

pitcher changed his mind and threw
the ball urderhand for the put-out. UNI

DenZer hit to billiard and was thrown
out, although Camel did not get him
at first. 1t was claimed Roger did not
touch the base going over, and the
umpire said Spies score did not count,
although he was in some time before
CAMEL touched Roger.
The ball did not go out of the dia-
mond in the fifth inning, the feature
of the inning being the row over
er, which Shugart threw to Glasscocl<
in hurry. 1t was claimed that Glass
cock was pulled off the base, but it
did not make any difference, as the
