The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-09-12

Roger Denzer was batted hard
enough in the first inning Of yester-
days game at Lexington park to win
any ordinary contest, and it turned out
that, while there were not really
enough runs to win, there were enough
deposited as a nest egg to insure the
accommodations Of the future saving the
contest for the HOosiers.
Seven good, hard drives and six runs
were charged against Roger in the
first inning. After that he settled down
and, with almost errorless fielding sup
port, kept the visitors down to two
runs in the remaining eight innings.
The locals took advantage Of some
ragged fielding in the seventh to pile
their score up to six, but beyond that
mark they could not reach.
Scott was batted freely, but the
HOosiers played a snappy game in the
field, and the locals could not overcome
the handicap gained in the first in
ming.
Hogriever the first man up, started
the batting streak that practically won
the game. Stewart hunted and forced
him out. but after that the HOOsiers
made it their practice to swing on the
ball, and five of them in order hit it
safely. Preston let a couple of ground
ers get away from him, but these err
rors did not materially affect the
HOgrieyer hit safely again, after Scott
flew out to Burke Stewart, his second
time up, gave -Shugart a high fly, and
six runs were in, with one runner
stranded.
Hickey and Stewart threw out Burke
and Geier, but Nichol muffed Glenal-
wins fly. Isbell went out on a ground
er to Mcfarland.
Shugart threw Mcfarland out, but
Kahoe again hit safely. Nichol forced
the catcher out at second and was in
turn forced by Flynn, so the visitors
did not strengthen their lead.
ShugaTt opened st. PaupS half with
a good grounder through second, but
Gillen gave Stewart a pop-up. Preston
drove a lucky hit over Hickeys head,
but was doubled out with Spies on the
latter's sharp one to Allen, which re-
tired the side, still BANKED.
Denzer struck out Allen and Hickey,
and Scott flew to Burke again.
Burke beat a bunt, and Geier and
Glen followed 1t with singles, scoring
st. Pauls first run. Isbell flew to HO-
grieVer, and both runners advanced.
But Scott pitched Shugart four balls
without deviation, and Gillen hit a
high foul for Kahoe, retiring the To-
calls with three on the sacks.
Spies took two fouls. and Shugart
made a fine catch on Stewart, 50 the
HOOsiers did not reach first in the
fourth. Two outfield flies and a
grounder to Hickey retired the locals
with equal prOmptness.
Kahoe opened the fifth with "a fine
drive down the park toward Lexington
avenue. but it was fielded promptly.
and he was caught at the plate by
fine throws, for which he blamed Fore
man, who was coaching. The drive
was good for three sacks, but not for
four. NichOl flew to Gillen, and Den
Ger stopped q hot one from Flynn's
stick.
Hickey threw out Burke, but Geier
hit safely. Aliens tumble gave Glen
alvin a life, really spelling an easy
double play. But Geier was caught off
second base in state Of coma. A wild
pitch gave Glen second, and he scored
on IsbelPs drive to right although the
big fellow was caught trying to get to
second on the play.
Allen hit high fly which Denzer
should have gotten. But Roger did not
try for it, and Gillen could not reach
It. Bob, however, was thrown out try
ing to steal second. Hickey struck out.
but Scott surprised every one by land
ing on the leather for a home run.
HOgriever gave Shugart a fly, and the
score was 7 to 2 against st. Paul. Allen
threw out two, and Gillen famed
