The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-13

sending five men to first base on balls
and two of the men that were presented
with free tickets afterwards scored. Ka-
toll made up for his wildness, however,
in other ways, for he fielded his position
nicely, and in five times at bat lined the
ball out for three singles and two runs.
All the Saints, but Preston, hit the ball
yesterday, and Preston made as good as
hits by twice putting his anatomy in
the way of the ball. Glenalvin. Lally,
Vaughn and Shugart made nine Of the
fifteen hits credited to the Saints.
PARDEE SHORT-LIVED.
The Cowboys chose Pardee to pilot
them to victory, but he only lasted three
innings. True the Saints had gathered
in but three runs in that time, but Par
dee saw the slaughter coming and de-
cided to get out of the game while he
had time. A young man named Strick-
lett, who is said to hail from Pennsyl-
vania and who is also said to have
pitched some ball down in the smoky
country, succeeded Pardee. He started
out like a whirlwind, striking three men
out in the first inning, although Shugart.
one of the Saints that famed, reached
first on Wilson's passed ball on the
third strike. After that the Saints
found him a fairly easy proposition and
batted him frequently, although he held
them down at critical times when hits
would have meant many more runs than
were scored.
Hulen, as usual, played pretty game
at short for the visitors and stopped two
or three hits that looked like they were
safe for sure. He accepted ten chances
without a skip. Burns, the Cowboys sec
ond baseman, also had plenty of work,
with twelve chances, but he missed two
of them and thus marred his play to a
certain extent The game was remark
able in that the visitors had twenty-six
assists, almost a record-breaker.
The visitors were first at bat, and for
five innings Katoll held them down to a
single hit, and not a man got past first
base. Hulen opened the sixth with a hard
drive at Vaughn, who failed to handle the
ball, and the Cowboy reached the bag.
Halligan was given pass. and Rothfuss
made a line hit into Lally's territory,
scoring Hulen. It was at this point that
Preston made known to the fans that he
was in the game. Miller was next I'D and
he hit hard high fly along the right foul
line. 1t was good for a home run if it
touched the ground, but Preston went
after 1t and reached out with one hand
and got it just as it was going over his
head. 1t was one of the prettiest catches
of the year. and Preston was given a
hand that could be heard a mile when he
came in. Halligan had been on second,
and, figuring that Preston could not get
back the ball, started for third while Can
tllIOn'S back was turned. An effort was
made to put Halligan out on double
play, but CantillOn refused to allow it.
and moment later he scored on
Vaughn's second error in the inning
Shaub ended the inning by striking out.
PRESTON'S SENSATIONAL CATCH.
In the seventh the visitors added two
more runs to their total on a hit by Will
son. base on balls to Hulen and three
Dagger by Halligan. In the eighth they
were BANKED. 1t was in this inning that
Preston made his second sensational
catch, running back into right-center and
scooping ball out of the ground with
one hand that had come out from Miller
again and which would have been at least
three-bagger and possibly a home run
In the ninth Burns was first UP and lined
the ball through the short field He was
advanced to second on Wilson'S out at
first went to third on Geiers error
on Stricklett and scored on HuIen's field
ers choice, which forced Stricklett out
at second. That ended the run-getting
for the Cowboys.
The Saints scored enc in the first on
Geier's two-bagger and hits by GIenalvin
and Lally. In the third they added two
more, on two-bagger by Houtz and
hits by Glenalvin and Katoll In the
fourth the switch was made from Pardee
to Stricklett. Preston was first up and
struck out, and Shugart did likewise, but
was more fortunate, for Wilson dropped
the third strike and Shugart went to first.
Spies was hit, advancing Shugart to sec
ond, and Katoll brought him in with a
hit through the center of the diamond
In the fifth Lally hit through the car+ar
of the diamond and went to second on
Prestons being hit by StrickIett, and
scored on Shugarts hit between first and
second. Two more runs, and the last two
that the Saints gathered, were made in
the sixth on hits by Spies and Katol, a
base on balls to Houtz and a hit by I.ally.
The score:
