The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-05-16

In honor of st. Cloud day, as Man
ager ComiSkey dubbed yesterday at
Lexington park. Willie Phyle pitched.
and the hundreds who came from st.
Cloud to express their national and
local pride by seeing the soldier boys
and the base ball boy of their own town
were rewarded by seeing the Stearns
county phenomenon pitch one of the
best games of which he is capable.
He held the Millers down to three
hits. and while he gave five men bases.
the Millers only scored in one inning,
when opportune hits, following Phyle's
own wild throw, let the men get around
the circuit for the first time.
Cook, st. Paul boy, by association,
but a Minneapolitan by professional
adoption, made a good showing, hold
ing the Apostolic sluggers down to
nine hits, although they were punched
pretty we'll on him in the fifth inning.
However, the Millers were not playing
fast enough ball for him to have won
against Phyle.
Between the two towns and the sur
rounding country, $500 people paid to
see the game, not to mention that noble
army of martyrs on passes, who, IN
daunted, fight their way through crowd
ed cars or thread may cycle paths to
attest their loyalty to Comiskey's flag
bearing aggregation.
Campau batted Phyle for an easy
magnificent stop of a fast one from
Letchef's stick. Reilly was struck out,
and the st. Cloud aggregation made
the vast arena ring with shouts.
Geier gave Campau a fly. Burke,
p however, met Cook safely, and the ball
struck we'll back of Rice. Ball made a
fine stop of a hot one on the other side
of second base, which, if 1t had been a
few feet closer, might have permitted
double play but Burke beat it. stole
third, and scored on Glenalvin's sin
gle. Glen going out on a futile trial
for second.
After Rice went out to Glasscock,
Morgan, new find by Schmelz, hit a
grounder that bounded luckily over
Shugart's head and went safe to the
held. 81 Morgan, however, was caught
trying to steal second. and Phyle's
present of a base to Ball was not as
serious as might have been the case
otherwise, Carey sending Geier fly.
Dixon caught two fouls and Shu-
CARTS third strike, all in one inning.
Glenalv1n threw Dixon out, and Cook
and Campau hit high ones to Miller
and Burke.
Spies waited, and Cooks wiIdness
was worth base, to which one stolen
was soon added. Dixons throw went
through Morgan, and Spies scored
Phyle struck out, and Ball made an
other essential stop and throw on

Shugart threw out Letcher and Reil-

Miller hit to left, stole second and
peat GlenalVin's grounder to third on
! R1ce's throw. Glasscock sacrificed but
only advanced GlenalvIn, Miller scoring
ON Shugart's long fly, which Letcher
could not throw in. Reilly let Gillen's
/ low drive go through his hands, and
that scored Glenalvin. Spies fly to

rarily.
Morgan's bunt fly to Phyle, Balls
high drive to Geier, and Glenalvin's
throw to first on Carey ended the third
successive inning in which the Millers
had not seen first base.
Phyle hit to Ball, who threw wild to
the right bleacher. Phyle went to third,
but was sent back to second on some
z claim of blocked ball. A wild pitch,
: however, gave him third ultimately.
4 Geier was beaten out of hit by
distinctly picturesque running, twist
ing, back-handed catch, but Phyle
scored on Burke's hit, even before
Ietcher let it go through him. Miller
fouled to Dixon, but Burke stole third
land scored on Glenalvin's clean three
base drive to center. Glasscock hit a
hot cne to Ball, too hot for fielding,
and Shugart's single, close to first, let
Z Glenalvin in. Rice finally threw GiIlen
FSut, and seven was the total ac-
emulation of runs against the Millers.
Il The sixth was Phyle's bad one. He
gave Dixon base, and threw badly
Ion Cooks grounder. Campau struck
Tout, but Phyle filed the sacks with
base for Letcher. and Phyle had to
throw Reilly's sharp bunt to first, thus
tIscoring Dixon. Rice's hit to center,
(which Geier let go through him, let in
two runs, but Geier did catch Nor
tlgan's fly.
Spies hit a savage one through Rice,
and went to second on wild pitch
