The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-07-12

The Saints didn't have the unseemlv
olscourtesy to win three straight games
from the Hoosiers-and accordingly they
cropped yesterdays game with as re-
HarKaple ease as if they had been nar-
forming programme But the matter
VI courtesy was slightly overdone bv tha
locals when they graciously allowed Mr.
heIlum the glory of pitching eight fuu
innings without a hit being made off bis
delivery
No reasonable person will bIap,e tho
Saints for losing one out of three earoos
to the Indians, but the locals rnfebt car

money yesterday than they did. They foII

when a game is over it is always easy
10 see where it could be bettered. Things
might have been very different Yesterday
had Commy sent Fricken to the slab at
the beginning of the game instead of
little Willie McGiIl. McGiu was decidadIv
OIL color. He couldn't see as far as tho
home plate, and in the half game no
allowed five men to walk to first on halls
and hit another. Some people saw that
the very rank work of the locals in the
first inning, which gave the Hoosiers
three runs they had no right to, discour
aged Little Willie. Perhaps that's true If
was certainly sending a man off with =
pad handicap. But base ball pitchers. ara
paid salaries to pitch the ball over for
whole game, and Willie McGill is too old
10 quit at the start because Of poor sup
port. 1t was simply not WilIie's day-

the HooSlers yesterday. He has thrown
them before, and yesterday he gave them
seVeraI scares again, but it was too late
AFTER Hon went in in the sixth inning the
HooSiers got no more hits d,1ring +bo
entire game. He pitched the ball with
some speed and got it pretty we'll over
despite the severe swipe he gave Mr.
helum on his pitching arm He pitched
fully as good as the HRosier southpav,
and 1t was too bad that he was forced to
begin after the game was hopelessly lost
But Kellum was the thing He didn't
seem to be pitching such wonderful ball
He simply sailed them up to the plate in
an easy sort Of a fashion that looked
good to put him out of the business.
The critical eye would not call it great
pitching. But when a spectator sug-
BesIeu IhlS same TO hahOe, Mike said A.:
Wen, the winning pitchers are the great
pitchers" and it's pretty much So Young
Brother Kellum certainly is a winning
pitcher.
When the ninth inning opened the
Saints had faced Mr.. Kellum's twisters
for over an hour and half, and had not
made even the semblance of hit in the
entire eight innings. Whether Mr.. KEEL
lum Is great pitcher or not, the fact re-
mains that that Is quite successful pitch
ing.
Hon tried to put the little southpaw
out of the game in the seventh with a
vicious one on the arm, but Kellum came
up in the eighth, and though he had
been severely hurt in his twisting mus
Gle he went on tossing-that's all it was
the ball over. and the result was Just
the same-the Saints kept on putting
the ball in the air. The locals found
