The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-06-19

after two were out IN tnG SlAln lining
lost a ball game to Columbus at Lex,
ington park yesterday that should
have been a shut-out for the Discov-
erers. and should have been won by
the Apostles in the eighth, when Heine
Spies made a two-base drive to center
field with two men on the bases.
Danny Friend, the south paw from
the lake front pitched an erratlc game,
and had the locals been able to hit the
ball when men were on bases the chan
ces are Friend would never have gone
into another base ball contest, save
with great fear and trepidation.
Even the luck he was in could not
drive the pallor from his blanched
cheek.
Fricken held the visitors down to
half a dozen safe hits, and while his
own wild throw IN the seventh inning
contributed to the run which finally
won the game, his pitching record de-
served a victory.
He and Shugart threw out Wolverton
in the beginning, and Franks hit was
wasted as Tebeau forced him out. At
ter Burke's fly to Genins, Friend pre-
scented two Saints with sacks, but
GlaSscock flew to Knoll, and Geier to
Tebeau.
Fricken famed Genins. but gave
Hulen a base hitting him with the
fourth ball to make assurance doubly
sure. Knoll beat out a slow hit, which
Fricken, Shugart and Glenalvin in
turn tried to get, but Shugart made q
magnificent stop and throw on Buck
ley's slow grounder, and Burke ran
away into Geier's territory to get I'M
der Friends fly. The fielders collided,
and Geiers spike cut Burke's foot, but
not seriously. Shugart famed, and
Gillen and Spies failed to get the ball
out safe.
Wolverton and Butler had gone when
Fricken presented Frank with base,
and Tebeau was thrown out by Gillen.
Friend gave Fricken a base. Burke
gave Wolverton a high one, and
Fricken was forced out by Miller. Glen
alvin put a stiff grounder through
Hulens district, but Glasscock only
got the ball in the air for WolvertOn' 8
amusement
Genins famed again in the fourth.
Hulen put fine line drive over Sec
ond base, but his legs were not as fast
as Heine's throw when he tried 10
purlOin a sack. Knobs fly to Shugart
ended the half. st. Paul's inning open
ed with the presentation of a base to
Geier. Shugart hit a slow grounder to
Genins, who collided with Geier on the
base line. Each accused the other of
being at fault, but the umpire ruled
Geier out for Interference. 1t made
considerable difference in the score,
too, and when Sheridan came back to
the stand again he was greeted with
storm Of Kisses. After Gillen flew to
Hulen, Friend got ratified and filled
the sacks with wild ones, but settled
in time, Burke batting the first ball
that cut the plate on a high trajectory
10 the paws of a small Knoll in center.
Columbus went one, two three in the
fifth, and after Miller and Glenalvin
were out without the ball passing Sec
ono, GlaSScock put a liner over second
and Geier a nice grounder over short.
The clip was too fast for Shugart,
however, and he was thrown ~out by
Wolverton.
Butler beat bunt opening the sixth.
Frank sacrificed. Shugart threw out
Tebeau, but threw wild on Genins, and
Glasscock had to step of. the base.
Butler scored. Hulen droJ O4a 1y over
second base, and he and Genins worked
the double steal successfully, before
Shugart threw Knoll out
Gillen flew to Wolverton and Spies to
Frank, Fricken striking out. Buckley
hit to Gillen, who threw low, and the
runner was safe, the ball bounding from
Glasscock's knee back to the pitchers
box. Friend hunted and Fricken threw
the ball onto the grassy terrace which
stretches away to the Lexington ave-
nue. gate. That let in another run
Wolverton went out on a grounder to
Glasscock, and Geier, after catchins
Buffers fly, made a fine throw to the
plate and caught Friend, who tried to
come in from third. Burke struck out
and Miller only hit to Friend. Glen
alvin was given his base Glasscock
hit hard liner at Hulen, who reached
it with his right hand, but could not
clench the glove about it tight enough
Friend threw Geier out
Franks fly to Gillen and Geier's catct
under Tebeau were followed by a fine
two-base drive by Genins Fricker
gave Hulen base, but Knoll forced the
short stop and the side out.
When Shugart secured a present o,
base at the opening of st. PauPs
half, the bleachers warmed to the at.
tack somewhat, and pandemoniuu
reigned, Gillen put liner through JUS
out of Hulen's reach. Spies hammered
hard one into center field Knoll tried
for it, but could not block the ball, anf
Shugart scored. Fricken struck out
but Burke hit fly to center, and Gil
