The Saint Paul globe., 1898-09-13

Willie Phyle would have closed his
St. Paul record yesterday with a
shut-out Of the pennant- chasing Hoos-
iers had it not been for Glenalvin's
tumble and bad throw in the ninth
inning.
AS it was, he held the Indians down
to half a dozen hits and a lonely run,
a very worthy finale for a young man
who now goes to the big league to
finish the season.
Yesterdays game at Lexington park
was a fine one. The sky was cloudy
enough to give the pitchers consid-
cradle of an advantage, yet there was
free batting and excellent fielding as
a rule.
Foreman was in the box for the
Hoosiers, and his Wildness lost him the
game, although he was not batted at
all heavily Mike Kahoe was put out
of the game for his sputter about one
of the umpire's decisions in the sixth,
and as Lynch cannot hold FOreman's
speed Capt. Allen told Frank to take
a walk too. Hawley and Lynch be-
Ing the HOOsier battery for the rest of
the game.
Hogrlever, the much-feared, popped
a foul to Spies as the first inning
started. Stewart was thrown out by
Shugart and McFarland's fly to Geier
Foreman gave Burke and Geier bases

as the second started, but Mike was
thrown out trying to steal second.
Nichol and Flynn flew to Burke and
Geier.
Foreman gave GiHen a sack as the
second started. Preston bunted, and
Hickey had a hard throw to catch him.
He did not do it. Spies bunt foul was
caught by KahOe, but PhyIe's good
drive to right field scored one run and
Geier's hot single which warmed AL
lens shirt front. after Burke flew to
HogrleYer, scored another rum Glen
fOuled to Hickey.
Allen hit safely to right, but Shu-
gart made sensational stop on
Hickeys grounder over the opposite
side OF second base. Retracing his
steps, Shugart touched the sack, retir-
ing Allen, and then threw to first for
a double. The Hoosiers thought that
Hickey should have been called safe
but he was not. Foreman gave Shu-
CART one somewhat easier, and of
course, went out.
Isbell opened the inning with a safe
hit but was forced out by Preston
after Shugart and Gillen had sent pop
ups to Kahoe and Allen.
HogrieVer flew to Preston, and Stsw-
