The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-09-19

AT Observation-Disclosures VS.. st. Joseph.
After apparently losing the game by
the Tigers terrible onslaught on Frick
Ell in the fourth inning, the st. Paul
team yesterday afternoon at Licking
ton park surprised 1000 people by over
coming a lead Of ten runs, and by TAX
ing both games from Vanderbeck's
men, the second being much shorter
and different in many respects from
the first, which was essentially a bat
tie of heavy batters.
Neither pitcher was spared. Fricken
and Thomas alike were literally bat
ted all over the lot, but, after the
Saints had gained & lead, Manager Co
miskey substituted Cross for Fricken,
and the visitors did not score again,
getting no farther indeed, than first
base in the two innings in which he
ofiiciated. He and Briggs, too, pitched
sterling ball in the second game, which
was called at the sixth inning on &C
count of the lateness of the hour
SharrOtts grOunder over third. two
ipfield grounders, and billiards. single
gave the visitors one in the first or
the first game but a base on balls for
Geier, Glenalvin's fine drive for three
sacks to left field and Willis failure
to stop TsbelIs grOunder gave the 10
calls a pair.
Inc SluSSlQS OF IIle Dali was cOullAl-
ued in the second. BueloW and Beam
hit for two bases each, Thomas sin
gle, and Sharrott a three-sack drive
to deep center, which, with Burke's
muff of Stallings fly, piled up four runs
for the visitors.
Preston hit safely, but threw it away
trying TO steal, and Fricken's base on
balls came too late, Burke fouling to
BuelOw.
Willis singled after two were out in
the third, and the locals were
BANKED also. Geier got a base, but
threw it away as had Preston,
and Glenalvin, after hitting safely,
was forced out
The fourth seemed to cinch it for
DetrOit's victory Thomas, Sharrott.
DUNCAN, billiard and Camel all lined
it out for good singles and after Will
lis scratched in a slow one to Glen,
which he beat out, Thomas and Shar-
rott repeated their drives Of earlier in
the inning. The net result was seven
runs for the Tigers a total Of twelve.
Willis error, a base on balls for
Preston and singles by Spies and
Burke drove in two of the Apostles
IN the latter half Of the inning, bring
ing them up eight runs behind Spies
went out of the game. Dungan's sin
gle, Ritter's overthrow, a base on
balls for billiard and Shugart's failure
to stop Cancels grounder made the
visitors lead ten again
But there were other innings with
seven runs in, and st. Paul's fifth de-
serves conspicuous reference in this
connection. GlenalVin beat a bunt and
Isbeu and Shugart batted Thomas for
four bases each. Gillen walked on
four wide ones, and after Preston's
pcp-up drive to center Beam muffed
tricken'S fly. Burke flew out to Stall
Lngs, but Geier was given a base and
scored on good drives by Glenalvin
and IsbeH before Shugart ended the
inning with a light tap to DUNCAN
That seven made the locals II to a.
and the crowd began to get interested
again.
Gillen got an error, two put-outs and
an assist in the fifth, and the visitors
did not score.
Gillen hit for three sacks to center
held and scored on PrestOn's fly to the
same field, but the next two did not get
the ball out Of the infield. Buelow and
Willis hit pop-ups, and Beams good
9rCunder was wasted as Thomas was
thrown out by Shugart
The locals needed but two to tie. and
when Geier met the ball for single
and Glenalvin soaked it for two bases,
1T brought them up within one. Isbell
went out on grounder to Camel, but
DUNCAN let Shugart's drive go through
him and that tied it. BueloW threw
cut Gillen, but PrestOn's good single to
center drove in Shugart with the run
that Won the game.
Cross went in and the visitors did not
get the ball out Of the inf1eld. He did
give StallingS a base, but George was
promptly doubled out.
Thomas tumble on Cross bunt a
single by Geier and a tWo-bagger by
