With a fusi lade Cf hits as ruinous to
the ambitions of rivals AS the ponder
Gus war engines of the Puritan, the
Oregon and the rest are destined to be
to the Notifications of the decadent
Spaniard, the ST. Paul Base Ball club
began at Lexington park Yesterday aft
ernoon a campaign Of conqu5s st.
The dark days of old, when even the
most advanced of the Comiskeyans
could but poorly decipher the mystic
curves described by the parabolic in
shoots of visiting pitchers, have gone;
the world is an open book in the CAD
some sunlight of this base ball renaiS-
sance.
1t was Detroit that first felt the i'm
pulse of this newly awakened life. Van
der Reck'S men came from Kansas
City to find a diSheartened, quarreling,
downcast coterie of knockers, but they
found instead a well-knit, apparently
amiable, close corporation of batterS.
The biggest pitcher in the league,
physically, was none too big after the
Apostolic nine had pounded him around
their spacious park for sixteen safe
hits.
Denzer was in the box for the locals.
The Tigers found him with a lively bat
ting streak in the second inning. but
thanks to foolhardy base running on
their part, Roger got out of it with
only one run marked up against him.
The visitors were at a slight diSad-
vantage. Having been in the train ever
since Friday evening at supper time,
they were only able to get to the park
five minutes after the hour set for the
opening of the contest. For that reason
the locals took the first bat, contrary
tc Manager Comiskey's recent custom.
Burke dropped a fly safe in left field
and stole second. Miller hit grounder
to Hines who, in coming in on the ball,
slipped and lost it. Burke, however,
was thrown out at the plate trying to
score on the shortstop's misplay.
Glenalvin's clean single over second,
however, drove Miller in, and Glass
cock and Geier were out on flies to
Twneham and DUNCAN.
Amid great applause DenZer struck
out Detroits leader Davis, and Dun
gan's safe drive to distant left was
spoiled by a sharp double play on Dill
lGrd's liner, which Gillen surprised
every one by holding.
Peck" Sharpe threw Shugart out and
Thomas famed Gillen, Spies giving the
tall pitcher an easy one to throw.
The second looked ominouS for Den
ger Sammy Nichol opened with fine
drive over second, but foOlishly threw
away his chances trying to run down
the line on Spies. Hines struck out,
but Sharpe drove a safe one to left;
Twineham put a daisy cutter through
second, and Pequinney, the Texas I'M
nameable, hammered a hard one into
Miller's district. Sharpe had to score
but Thomas could not save his own
game, batting a high one to Geier.
Denzer was thrown out by Sharpe
and Burke could not beat his own bunt.
Miller put high liner by Hines at
London and Northwestern speed, but
did not evince a similar accelerat,on
when he himself tried to get second.
Detroit repeated the operation, two in
field grounders and hit wasted by a
luckless trial at larceny.
Glenalvin's grounder to Sharpe and
flies to Hines and Davis sent st. Paul
to the field. Nicholl popped fly TO
Shugart and Sharpe foul to Gillen,
Hines safe drive between being lost
as usual, by the inability of a runner
to get to second ahead of Spies cata-
pult-like throw.
The fifth was Detroit's Waterloo.
Shugart began the attack with a fine
two-base drive to center field. Gillen
to right field and the sun beat DUNCAN
out of the catch. That let in the run.
Denzer, himself, had his batting clothes
on, and put a good single over second.
Burke forced Roger out, however. Mil
Ter repeated his good drive of the third
inning through Hines section. After
Burke and Miller worked the double
steel, Glenalvin's ripping three-bagger
well back of DUNCAN cleared the
other two off the bases. Glass
cock got Glen in with clean
hit through Hines, and Geier gave
Pequinney a hard one. Shugart, how
ever, forced Geier out, and Thomas had
a breathing spell.
Twineham dropped a lucky fly back
of Shugart, but was forced out by
Thomas after Pequinney famed. Davis
hit to right, the ball only coming to
Miller on the bound. But DUNCAN only
sent Glasscock a grounder, and went
out
Gillen was given a base to start the
sixth, but the next three failed to get
the sphere out Of the diamond, and
Spies made the grand stand play of
the game opening Detroit's half. Dill
went after it and got 1t in his glove
while he was almost PROSTATE. He did
fall. but he held the ball. Nichol sent
fly to Geier and Burke made catch
that was almost as sensational in its
way as Spies, Eddie striking a bad
piece of ground just as he reached the
ball, which nearly threw him down.
After Miller's fly to Davis and Glen
alvin's foul to billiard, Glasscock's
patient waiting for four and Geier's
hard grounder to Sharpe were lost
Shugart hitting only to Thomas.
Shugart threw Sharpe out, and Geie1
caught Twineham. Denzer's base tt
Pequinney was inexpensive, Thomas
forcing him out.
Gillen fouled to Twineham, so the
first realization in the eighth was Spies
base on balls, Immediately followed by
6 like one for Denzer Burke hunted
and beat the ball, filing the sacks
Miller hit a short one to right and le
in a run, but Denzer was caught nap
ping at third Glenalvin, however
drove a hard one into left field. Davi
threw 1t back high and not only dit
Burke and Miller score, but Glen go
around to third, to score on Glasscock'
grounder over second. Jack stole sec
ond, and tried to get home on Geier'
single, but Davis. by a magniflcen
throw. cut him off at the plate.
However, the locals had ten runs,
