The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-05-03

II the weather We're half as warm as
the games st. Paul and Kansas City
rave put up for the last two days, 5000
people would sit daily in the stands
at Lexington park.
The atmospheric conditions, however.
damp and cold, have had the effect of
seriously detracting from the atten-
tance a COmiskeys merry meetings.
and yesterday the ordinary interurban
service, without specials, was not Sc

however. was presented with an unob-

: was not a world beater like the affair
Of Sunday, but it made up in fireworks
what it lacked in intensity of nervous
strain.
1t was something more of a batting
game, ana at times the bombardment

from Manila harbor, and Slagle, the

bat almost his own length, drove out

along the SoSgy sod close to the foul
line at first base, and these were Of
the three-sack variety; the third was
a fine liner that passed nearly over the
head of the again conscious Shugart
who had recovered from his uncertain

and Bobby Glenalvin were also attired
In batting costumes, and this helped the
locals not little. Besides the ApoS-
ties played an errorless game an I'M
usual incident, and that they won is
naught but what they deserved from
superior play throughout the contest.

= AS on Sunday, the Saints waived
their first bats to the guests, and
the first three batsmen gave flies to
st. Paul outtielders, Carney's curves
narrowly escaping from sliding over
the slippery Missouri bats. Preston was
thrown out by Williams, Burke hit
high fly to O'Hagan, and Viox threw
Miller out.
Trouble was scented in the second
when McVickers hard drive to right
field, on which he ran three bases, was
followed by Williams long fly to the
same district which. however, Miller
caught. McVfcker, naturally came in.
Carney lift Nicholson and Viox ham

GlasScock's corner. 1t was good for
two bases, but Nicholson could not
score. Carney was ratified a little and
filled the bases with four bad ones to
Hauser, and only one out. Fortunately
for him, however, Gear gave Shugart
a fly. and O'Hagan's grounder toward
fist was ineffective, although it's opera
ton had certain menaces to st. Pauls
safety. Glasscock had to leave the
base some distance to get 1t. but Car

disastrous results.
- Nicholson's tumble on Glenalvin's
srounder. followed by Glasscocks
scratch fly, back of second, and Shu-
CARTS sacrifice, gave Glenalvin third,
whence he scored on Gillens fly to
Slagle. The latter by a fine throw,
however. caught Gasscock at third.
When the third opened, Glenalvin
made beautiful stop of a hard one
off Slagle's stick and Shugart threw
