The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-08-05


i Roger DenZer was slipped in against
the Hoosiers yesterday. the second time
in a series of three games, but he won
his game.
AS a matter of history, if every club
in the league were as easy for the Saints
as the Champions, the locals would be
in first place.
But there must ever hang over the
St. Paul season of 1898 the Milwaukee
hoodoo. But for the unfortunate series
with the Brewers here, twice repeated,
the Saints would have been touring
Easy street with a brass band now in
stead of playing very ordinary third
with muffled drums.
There was no particular trouble
about beating the Hoosiers yesterday.
In nine innings they got six hits off
DenZer, and three of these were bunch
ed in the seventh inning at a cost of
one run.
Another run was given them as a
midsummer Christmas present by Jack
/ Glasscock, and that was their entire
requirement.
Scott was the name of the pitcher
from Indianapolis. He is rather a
I gCod-looking chap, but it would not
take a very large icehouse to shelter
his seasons cut. He was beaten yes
+
were enough, although it is true they
were not the first two. 1t took the
Apostolic aggregation some little time
\ to determine Mr.. SCOTS whereabouts
with their range finder, but after that
their gunnery was convincing.
The contest yesterday at Lexington
park was the third of a series of very
interesting, not to say exciting con-
tests. DenZer surprised the Hoosiers
by going in a second time against them
on account of Umpire Mannassau's
supposed antipathy to George Cross,
and he in turn surprised Hogriever by
presenting him with four bad ones.
While Hogriever was frolieking about
first base, Roger conceived the idea
that 1t would be a good thing to throw
4 Hoggy out. And it would have been,
/ too, except that Glasscock let the ball
go through him like a kitten through
a nest of mice, and when the ball was
again brought back into play Ho-
grleyer had the third base instead Of

runs resulted.

Glenaivln beat. 1t was not a serious
faux pas, however, IS Glasscock was
easily thrown out by Scott.
Mcfarland flew to Preston. and Mott
fouled to Glasscock. Glenalvin made
a fine stop with his left on what looked
like sure hit for Nichol, but which
developed into an out

drive by Shugart to right which was
followed by a clean hit by GiIlen on

Glenalvin hunted and beat the ball TO

but Scott threw him out at first. Shu
CART flew to Stewart, but GilIen put
one at Aliens left so warm he could
not stop it, and that added one to St
PauPs run column. Preston flew to Ho-
griever.
Shugart's fast throw retired Ho-
griever as he came up in the sixth,
but Stewart put nice one, which
bounded badly for Geier. But McFar-
land spoiled the inning when he sent
Glasscock q hot one. Jack stepped to
the bag, and, with a fast throw, shot
the ball to Shugart at second. Shugart
met Stewart as he came up the line,
and @e of the prettiest double plays
of the season was completed in rush.
Spies flew to Mcfarland and Den
yer . Allen, while Campau was thrown
out by Stewart.
MotZ opened the HOLSTERS seventh
with hit, and when, after Nichols
pop-up to Gillen, Kahoe and Allen
likewise made singles, it looked as
though the skies might yet run red
with Denzerian blood. Motz, of course,
scored, but Kahoe and Allen tried to
work the double steal on Hickey's
third strike, and Kahoe was caught
at the plate with little difficulty.
Geier flew to Mcfarland and Stewart
and Allen threw out Glenalvin and
Glasscock.
Scott famed again to open Indian
