The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-07-03
out much ado, and the score was tie

out much ado, and the score was a tie
with one inning to come.
This was Minneapolis chance to win,
but 1t was overlooked. Parker hit to
lsbell and KatOu covered the sack Davis
dropped a fly just back of Shugart and
gave them start. Geier threw the
DaII over Isbelrs head again and Davis
ran clear around, but under the ground
rule he was ordered back to third, Nance
mus stopping at second. Then came the
Whole thing. The whole thing, be 1t
known in the Minneapolis club, pur-
ports to transact all the real business of
the team from buying the railroad tick
cts and leading the batting average to
holding the bell punch on the boys that
take the nichelS at the bicycle rack. The
whole thing wanted to win the game. He
wanted to win it almost as much as he
wants to be the whole thing. Ever since
his throwing arm went back on him he
| has had to depend on his batting eye for
| his chief claim to recognition. and if he
| could have smashed out a home run at
| that particular minute he would have
| gone right down to the Journal office
and taken a tin crown with his box OF
| cigars OF course, the box of cigars
! proposition is only advertised on tho
! Nicollet park fence, but how could they
refuse to give the whole thing a box?
! No one else on the team would bat one
! for the rest of the season, If the whole
| thing did not get in under the canopy
of that magnificent perspective that
adornS the reverse side of the Nicollet
avenue fence But the whole thing was
not the man of destiny. Perhaps his
wrathful ebullitions had spoiled the din
ner of the nabobs on high Olympus. The
earthly messenger of the base ball HER
archy could only bat a pop-up to Shu-
CART.
The crowd that but a moment before
was in cheers was in tears. Great
chunks of gloom fell from the Erebus-
like crest of the vertical bleacher. There
were two out and Andrews was up. But
Andrews had already made two hits, and
when he was given a base on balls the
! crowd only partially regained it's former
| bon vivant temper long enough to remOn-
! strate with Katou for, as it called it,
delaying the game. AS matter of fact
katoll had only gone over to third to
ask Geier if Carey was any weaker with
the stick than the proud possessOr of the
peanut privilege. 1t was topic on which
he desired enlightment. Carey wasn't.
He hit a pop-up to Glenalvin with three
on bases. The peanut vender had batted
| his with two on the sacks.
Burke hit the ball hard, but Davis
caught it. Geier drove a clean one into
! center on the ground, but only made one
base on it Glenalvin flew to Smith,
score Geier from first. He tried hard to
get second, but was thrown out, and
Lally was saved for the next inning.
The Millers had just one wee war
whoOp in the tenth, and that was when
Smith opened it with a safe hit. Alb
batichie sacrificed, and Werden went
into bat for Zearfoss, Perry swung at
the first ball that came through and a
fly to Shugart was his best. Parker had
to save his own game, and Burke made
a magnificent catch under his high drive
Eddie fell, but clutching the ball in his
hand, brandished it in full view of all the
umpires and every one else until Mr.
Parker's finish was officially announced
Lally was thrown out by Abbatichio
but Smith fumbled Isbell's grOunder, and
gave the Saints a start The big fellow
stole second, and made bold dash for
third when Fishers overthrow gave him
small lead on the ball. Shugart flew
to Nance, but Preston poked a slow one
at Smith and ran fast enough himself to
beat it to the sack. Isbell crossed the
plate and the crowd swarmed down on
the diamond like bees. out of hive UNI
pire Haskell called Preston safe but it
wouldn't have made much difference, as
the crowd had already declared it's YER
dist. Score:
