STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Minneapolis :. ......SS &c g .293
All teams look alike to the st. Paul
base ball club now.
The Comislleyans have Won every
game since they returned to their ma
tive heath
Detroit had in the box yesterday
young man named Beam. This Beam
is probably of birds eye maple. Its ca
reer is quite speckled. He pitched for
Philadelphia once, not once upon
time, as the children's readers say,
but once. Then he was relegated to
the less sedate but hardly as metropol-
itan constituency of Mansfield, Ohio.
One day when Van Derbeck was
scanning the columns of the sporting
Weekiles from mis- coming tower he
concluded to add this Beam to his 9TH
er sticks
Mr.. Beam could hardly be esteemed
10 be distinctly fortuitous, after yes
terday's game. He was batted safely
thirteen times. That is unlucky in it
sell. Besides, he lost the game, which
is also unlucky.
Cross was in the box for the locals.
Split-fngered George is rapidly get
ting back to old-time form.
Two innings passed yesterday before
the much vaunted Tigers reached first
base. They struck cut and were thrown
out; they hit pop-upS and long flies
with equal futility.
During the period corresponding to
this the locals We're accommodating runs
Not basket full, but just few for a
kind of nest egg.
After Elberfeld threw out Campau,
Geler walked. Miller's grounder to
billiard advanced the smallest of the
former PhlIlleS to second, and he came
in on Glasscock's hit to left, which
Stallings could not get under. Glass
cock was full of ginger, and tried to
steal second, but he was nipped with
the facility of a tenderloin police SER
geant nipping a chicken sandwich.
Shugart hit for three bases in the
second, Sharrott falling in his eager
ness to get the ball. Gillen gave Ell
berfeld pop-up, but Preston put a
stlH Srounder to right field, stole sec
ond, and went to third on Wilson's bad
throw, Shugart inevitably scoring in
the meantime. Spies dropped a lucky
one just back of billiard, who was play
ing in for bunt Preston scored. Thu
next two went out.
Detroit began to count when STALL
1ngs surprised Cross with a home-run
drive to right after Wilson flew to Mil
Ter. Beam was hit and Cross gave
DUNCAN four, but no other runs re-
suited.
played the string out, so to speak, on
Mliier's fast grounder, and a double
play resulted with Elberfeld's assist
ance 1t was as clean a play as had
been seen in Lexington park in long
time. Glasscock was thrown out by
the same little short stop, although the
decision at first was closer
When Camel sent a grounder over
short, and Hines put a clean drive to
right. before any one was, out in the
fourth, ii began to look as though the
Tigers had show. and sure enough
after Elberfeld advanced them with
grounder to Glasscock, Wilson hit to
center for two sacks, and tied the score.
But Stallings and Beam hit pop-ups
TO Gillen and Shugart, and no more
harm was done.
Beam walked Shugart, and the locals
began to pull away again, when Gill
lens good single to right was followed
by Preston's three-base drive. which
looked like an easy out, until it bound
ed right over Hunky Hines head.
Three infield grounders followed it. but
meantime Preston had followed the
other two across the plate.
DunSan's good drive in the fifth
came between Sharrott's fly to Preston
and two others to Campau, who was
playing the sun field with old-time pre-
oision.
Elberfeld's low throw to first gave
Geier life, and the little fellow stole
second Miller hunted. Beam got it,
but Dillard came in for the bali too
and consequently was not on third
base when Beam had an idea to cut
off Geier at third. While Beam was
discovering this, he delayed too long
to catch Miller at first. Geier scored
on Glasscock's fly to DUNCAN.
The visitors hit three in the air in
the sixth, and Gillen's single was re-
&C no
steal second.
Cross sent the Tigers to their cage
In one, two, three order again in the
seventh. Cross opened st. PauPs half
with fine wO-bagger to center. He
scored on Campau's drive to left. The

work the double steal, but Campau
was caught at the plate, Wilson block

that would have done credit to Schley
himself
The eighth was the third successive
inning and the fifth of the game in
which the visitors failed to reach first
Flies to Miller and Gillen, and billiards.
strike-out did this
Shugart opened st. Paul's half with
a single, but was caught between first
and second on what looked to the fans
like palpable bak, although Umpire
Mannassau would not allow it. GIL

1t to the sack. Preston was thrown
out by Hines, but Gillen scored when
Sharrott dropped Spies fly well toward
right, field after a hard run. Cross
struck out, but the locals had nine
runs in. one more than in each Of the
other games of the series.
Hines began the final dash to the
pole, as Jules Verne might have called
It, but, after he had gotten first on a
single he found it pretty cold skating.
ard his fingers were blue when he was
thrown out at second or what came
very near being a bouble play. Gillen
threw out Wilson, and Stallings flew
out to Miller.
The locals had won six straight at
home. The score:
