The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-04

After the showers came the sun
shine, and after the unsatisfactory
exhibition given Friday last, the st.
Paul base ball club turned out at Lex
ington park yesterday as pretty a
game of base ball as could be asked.
With Denzer in the box, the Mime
apolftans were barely able to score
once, the locals playing an errorless
fielding game and taking advantage of
every point gained with a seeming dis
position to turn to the best uses every
available resource.
Due perhaps to the fact that the
double holiday had taken many peo-
pie from the cities to the lakes to
spend the resting period, the crowd
was not as large as Is usually the
case at a Sunday game between the
Twins. However. nearly 5000 people
found their way to the park, and they
had little reason to find fault with the
game. even though they came from
Minneapolis, for the Millers time and
time again went at the fight with the
utmost gallantry, only to be met by
failure to break into the run column.
DenZer opened auspiciously by strik-
ing out Rice, but Letcher lined a sin
gle safely over Glenalvin, and Cam
pau sent Miller a fly. Handsome Dan
Lally made his first appearance here
this year only for a grounder to Glen
alvin.
Manager Schmelz put in the box a
young man named Wright, whom
LOTUS, of Columbus, touted as a find
only second to the philosophers stone,
which, too, had never been found and
would be drafted by the big league if
1T ever was. Wright has his elements
OF strength, but he did not know just
how to go at Burke. Eddie tried to
walk on the claim that a high one
graZed his ear, but Umpire Mannas-
sau seemed to think that Eddie was
more scared than hurt and made him
wait for four balls. Then the sprint
ing outfielder stole second, and went
to third on Miller's grounder to Rice.
Glenalvin hunted to Wright, who
tried to catch Burke at the plate but
threw badly. Burke scored and the
others advanced proportionately.
Glasscock flew out to Rice. Geier hit
a short fly to Lally's garden safe and
stole second. Dixon made a swing as
though to throw to second, but then
changed his mind, and tried to catch
Glenalvin mapping at third. The ball
went wild.
Glenalvin scored, and Geier went TO
third when Lally fumbled the ball in
the field. Shugart was thrown out by
I'rice, but the locals had scored a pair.
After Glenalvin threw Carey out,
Smith lined nice hit over Shugart's
head, and stole second. Reilly's
erounder to Glasscock helped one base
more. but the second baseman was
stranded at third when Dixon's foul
was pocketed by Spies.
The st. Paul half of the second
opened with the perforation Of Gillens
spinal column By pitched ball. The
accident did not result fatally, how
ever. Smiths tumble gave Spies first
in safety also. Denzer sacrificed with
q pretty bunt to Reilly, who had to run
well in. Burke put a pop-up to the
same corner of the diamond, but Mil
Ter lined out a clean drive with two
on the bases and two out, and drove
In the second pair Of runs. Doggie
stole second. but Glenalvin was thrown
out by Smith.
Shugart threw out Wright. but Rice
put a line fly into center field. Gillen
caught Letcher's foul, but Campau
drove a three-bagger well back Of Mil
Ter and Rice scored. Lally flew out to
run.
ST. Paul laid off in the third, Geier's
base on balls, and another steal,
thanks to Rice's carelessness in not
touching him, being the only achieve
ments which could be considered as
positive.
Two pop-ups and a little grounder to
Denzer comprised Minneapolis fourth,
and a pair Of ground balls to the in
field. with Eenzer's fly to Lally. made
st. Paul's half scarcely longer. Gillen's
catch under Reilly's foul was particu-
larly meritorious.
