The Saint Paul globe., 1898-05-11

Every dog is brave around his own
kennel.
The Minneapolis base ball youngsters
yesterday played a saucy don't-you-
dare come near me-you-horrid- thing
game of base ball at Nicollet park,
Minneapolis, that was more than a
revelation to the Apostolic players and
their few adherents who braved a
foUrteen-mile street car tide to witness
q game of dubious prospect 1t was
q distinct surprise.
The Aiillers not only gave the Saints
O run for their money, but they won
the game.
That they Won it was rot entirely due
to superior play, but with the aSsiS-
tance Of an unfailing, ubiquitous, and
absolutely care free intervention of the
goddess OF fortune every fifteen p tch-
eS. they managed to get away with a
victory. The Millers had more luck
than could be packed in a barrel o.
hOrseshOes.
To descend from general observa-
tiops the most marked exemplification
of the successful application of cr-
cumstantial luck to urscientific base
bah was afforded in the third inning,
when, after Shugart muffed a ball ana
left the bases full, when the side Should
have been out, Tacks Parrot who did
drove the ball over the fence into a
plumbing shop for a home run That
made the game a lead pipe cinch for
Minneapolis, as it turned out, although
the Apostles did gather their robes
about them and tie the score in the
sixth inning.
With an inSOuciance partly heredi-
tary and partly acquired from long as
sociation with thoroughly unconven-
tional and not always over -fastidious
ball players, Capt. Campau drove the
La
Nicollet avenue fence and scampered
around the bases with the gleeful ste
of a Republican candidate running
against a split Democracy. The Colts
pricked up their ears, wondered what
4 was all about, and when they got
through discovered it was all about
one run, and that the same homer.
for Letcher flew cut to Burke. and
REILLY was caught after hitting safely,
trying to steal second. The Campau-
ans alleged that Carney had committed
a gr1eVOus wrong, to wit, balk, but
they could not convince Cantillon of
the justice of their contention Carney
threw out Rice, too, and there was no
wedding party on, either. Geier fan
ned and no one dropped dead. Reilly
got an assist and a put-out on the sue
ceeding two.
Carney threw Parrot out Smith hit
hot one. Carney singed a finger, and
Glenalvin cooled it off some, but the
throw was still too hot for Glassccck D
hold and the veteran let Smith get 10
first. Spies threw him out at second
and Norton gave Glasscock a simple
put.
Glenalvin beat to first a short one
which rolled toward third base. Glass
cock got base on balls. Shugart hit
high fly and Glasscock ran away off.
Smith caught the ball, and, thowing
to first, completed a double play. Rit-
ter singled, and Geier let the ball 60
through him. Ritter went to second.
McNeely gave Geier fly, but Campau
hit safely again, this time for a single.

Shugart an easy one, and a tumble let
In Ritter when the side should have
been out. Carney gave Rice a basu,
and Parrott's opportune homer piled up
a total of five runs for the inning be-
fore Smith went out on a short one to
Carney.
Reilly threw Gillen out, but Spies got
base, after splitting his finger on a
foul tip. Carney hit a grounder to
Smith, who reached it but could not
hold it. st. Paul's first run was scored
on Geier's clean drive to right field, his
first batting distinction since he has
joined the st. Paul team. Carney went
to third and scored when Letcher
muffed Rice's throw on Burke. Burke
was thrown out at second, as Geier
had been before him.
After Norton flew to Miller and Rit-
ter struck out, McNeely hit a good one
to right and went to second on a wild
pitch. Campau repeated his homer OF
sle first inning and the Millers had
eight runs to their credit when Glass
cock threw Letcher cut, Carney cover

Miller lined one into center field, and
stole second, but was thrown out at
