The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-10

DeTolt at Grand Rapids.
FIRST Fisher and then Glenalvin, Shu-
CART and Vaughn, and finally Cantillon,
were responsible for the defeat Of the
Saints at Lexington yesterday in one of
the most peculiar and at the same time
one Of the most interesting games of base
| ball that has been seen in st. Paul this
season. Through Fishers wiIdness,
coupled with the ability of the Brewers
to connect with his delivery and glar-
ing errors by Shugart and Glenalvin, the
visitors piled up twelve runs In the first
two innings. Five or six of the eight
runs in the first inning would have been
been cut off with perfect play by either
Glenaivin or Shugart But the former
dropped a little sun ball that looked like
a sure out and Shugart let a ground hit
go through him that bounded perfectly
and square into his hands. That first
inning was a perfect slaughter and the
second was little better, but in this the
four runs were due solely TO Fishers bad
work. as he alloWe3 three hits and sent
three men to first base with four balls
each. Just why Comiskey did not take
Fisher out of the box after the first in
ming is a problem.
ISben succeeded Fisher at the end Of
the second inning and made his first APP
pearance in the center of the diamond this
season, and he pitched one of the pretti-
est games of base ball that fan could
wish to see. Not once did the Brewers
get anything that resembled hit, and
only twice IN seven long innings did they
get a man by first base. Isbell was alto
gether in the old time form when he made
his first bow to the st. Paul fans. In five
times at bat he made four clean hits,
one a tWO-bagger, and accepted five
Of the hardest chances in fielding his po-
sition that were ever put up to a base
ball player. With all this however, the
Saints could not overcome the big lead of
the Brewers, although they pounded Hus-
ting out of the box, and batted Chech,
who succeeded him, freely.
VAUGHN FELL DOWN.
Houtz, the Texas Lacquer, was in the
game for the first time, and made a good
impression, although he got but one. hit
Vaughn was the big disappointment of
the game. He was at bat six times and
every time with men on bases, but he
&C uld not connect with the ball safely.
Had he made even one hit. even d scratch
hit the Saints would have won out with
runs to spare.
Eighteen hits against nine will ord;nar-
lily win a game hands down. The Saints
got eighteen yesterday, while the Brew
ers were gathering in nine. but they
could not win, although they came with
in an ace of it. Just why the game was
lost is something for the fan to study
over.
The Brewers were first at bat, and Wal
dron started the ball with a clean hit
that shot through Fisher Hike a cannon
ball. Schoch went out from Fisher to
Vaughn, on a sacrifice, and Congalton
flew out to Houtz. It was the general
the first inning was about over,
but Weaver was the next man
up and he drew free ticket, and
then the agony began. Gray lined the
ball out over Burke's head for three bases,
scoring Waldron and Weaver. And then
came Glenalvin's bad break. Stafford
popped a little line hit over In his terri
tory, and it looked like a sure out, but
Glen decreed otherwise, for he was ap-
parently in the way Of the sun, or the
sun got in his way, for he dropped the
ball and Stafford reached first in safety
ViOX improved his opportunity to hit
fly back of Geier scoring Gray, and Speer
hunted a little fly to Fishers right that
he could not field. The bases were full.
but Husting was up and the fans were
hopeful But this time it was Shugart
who dashed their hopes. Husting put a
ground ball square into Shugart's hands.
but he let 1t get away from him, and be-
fore it could be returned by Lally who
came to the rescue, Stafford and Viox
had scored. Then Waldron came up for
the second time and damned another hot
liner through Fisher, scoring Speer. and
Schoch drew a two-base hit out between
Waldron. COngalton ended the long in
ming with a foul fly to Spies.
RUN-GETTING CONTINUED
Weaver opened the second inning with
hard drive to left field but was caught
attempting to steal second. GRAY was
given his base and stole second. while
stafford went out on a pop-up to Geier
Then again, with two men out the run
getting began. VioX and Speer were nre
scented with free tickets and H1stine
came up for the second time. with the

the game by lining out a tWo-ba eger and
scoring Gray, VioX and Speer. Waldron
followed Husting and drew his third hit
scoring Husttng. Schoch flew ont IN ToI,

the visitors, for Isbell succeeded Fisher
