The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-05-06


If the bombardment of Manila was
as furious as the peppering that the
st. Paul club yesterday gave the
forces headed by a young man named
Mauck, from Omaha, all Commodore
Dewey will need to send home will be
some kodak pictures.
The slaughter was terrible. going one
way. The batting YVES suggestive of
old times when Nyce and George and
the rest used TO make concerted on
slauS'hts in the presiding genius of bat
ting averages. The SANITY siuggers
made Mauck a mockery. After eleven
runs had been made off him in two in
~nings, the Nebraskars lost interest in
the game, and seemed to be inspired
chiefly by a desire to get to the hotel
and dress for supper. They could
hardly be blamed for this.
The score would have been Is to O.
but for a tumble by Shugart, which let
in all of Omahas four runs after two
men were out. Shugart, however, re-
deemed himself in measure by max
ing four hits in five times at bat, and
on one of these occasions making the
only home run which has been made
at Lexington park this season.
The opening pay was an assurance
that st. Paul was going to give any
body tuSsle. that sent any fleets into
his harbor. Eustace batted an early
ball from Phyles arm to Gillen, who
shot it across the diamond with light
ripglike rapidity and precisely where
it was intended Griffin evidently
thought the thing could not be repeat
ed, and he hit one down the same way.
Gillen got it in one hand, pretty well
back of the base, and it looked as
though the little center fielder who
is pretty fast on his feet, would beat
the ball to Glasscock'S sack. But Gill

the sphere high in the air, and as it
fell. it gradually increased it's speed.
1t was a close race, but the ball won
1t. Roat drove one in the same general
direction with more success, as 1t skim
med the dirt just few inches inside
the base. A wild pitch advanced him
to second, but he was left when Heine
got under Lyons foul fly.
Preston introduced Pitcher Mauck to
the ST. Paul sluggers in heavy batting
order at once. 1t was the first hit
Preston had made since Sunday, but
it did the business. Fisher, in right
field. had an attack of stage fright
when he saw the ball coming, and
Preston went on to second. Burke
wall<d by courtesy Of Mauck. McCau-
ley tried to catch Preston mapping,
threw wide, and two were advanced on
the bases. Mauck walked Miller and
Glenalvin, and forced in run. A wild
to first for Glasscock filed the sacks.
Shugart's line drive over Lyons corner
scored two more, and Gillen's warm
drive to M9uck put Shugart ahead, at
his own sacrifice. Spies gave Fisher
q fly, but Shugart scored on Phyle's
hit before Preston gave Lyons the third
out.
Burnett was given four bad ones. He
had hardly completed his pedestrian
advertisement when McCauley popped
an easy fly to Glenalvin. Glenalvin
muffed it, and Burnett went out on a
throw to second. Holly watched Spies
eat up foul flies as of yore, and Glenal-
vim let Fishers grounder go through
him like the measles through city
school. Mauck had two on bases when
he famed the air. Fred Roat fumbled
Burke's ball. Miller and Glenalvin
raped out safe ones, scoring one.
Mauck hit Glasscock, filling the sacks.
ShugartS single scored a pair. Gillen
scratched in safe one on half bunt,
scoring Glasscock. Spies hit to Roat,
who threw Shugart out at the plate.
Phyle famed and Preston was thrown,
out by Holly.
Phyle began the third with present
for EuStace. Miller caught Griffin's
fly. Phyle gave two more bases and
the sacks were all occupied when
sharp double play, started by Shugart,
blanked the visitors. Miller, who hit
q safe one, was the only Apostle to
reach first, Mauck settling down a
bit
Spies got three outs in the fourth
two strike-outs and a foul. Carney
had gone in to pitch to save Phyle.
Shugart hit to Lyons, but Mauck could
not get to the bag in time. He stole
second and went to TIL on McCauley's
overthrow. Gillen's hit scored him, and
then Sammy stole a base.
Spies lined one ever Eustace's head.
The Wiry one reached for it, but could
not hold it, and Carney hit safely
through the same part of the diamond.
Preston hit a light one and beat it to
first Burke sacrificed. Every one was
in thea but Preston. Miller hit to Eus-
tace, who tried to catch Preston at the
plate, but threw too high Glenalviri
forced Miller out at second and the
inning ended with Glasscock's fly to
Burnett.
Mauck's foul fly and a fan had re-
tired two of the needed three when
Griffin made clean drive over short,
the visitors second safe one. Then Car
ney walked Roat. Shugart fumbled
Lyons grounder and filed the sacks.
Burnett put a two-base drive hard
down left field and McCauley followed
with a handy single. Four runs were
In on Shugart's error. Hollingsworth
forced the catcher out at second, and
Shugart smashed the first ball pitched
for a homer in an effort to redeem him
self. The ball rolled clear to the grass
