The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-12

Isbell has fallen. In the eyes Of the
fans he is a nine spot. On Wednesday
he pitched seven innings against the
Brewers and they could not begin to con-
meet with his curves. Yesterday he was
called in at the end of the seventh in
ming to finish the game against the
Blues, who opened at Lexington park,
and in three innings they pounded him
all over the lot for a total of six hits
and six runs
Friclen started out to break the hoo
doc that has been lowering over Comis
keys men, and for six innings he pitched
good bail. Not a man crossed the plate.
But at the end OF the seventh there was
q different story to tell. In that fate
ful seventh two hits and two men nit
by pitched balls, together with an error
by Shugart. nettad the Blues three runs.
For some reason, as yet undiscoverabla,
It was deemed best by Comiskey and
Glenalyin to take Fricken out, and Is
bell who had been playing the right
garden. was called in at the beginning
of the eighth. and he pitched good bail
for one inning. The first three Blues to
face him were bowled over like nine pins.
Fricken had been sent to right garden
when Isbell was called in. and had he
played the spot with ginger the Saints
might have had victory instead of a
disgraceful defeat Hulen was the first
man up in the ninth. and he hit the
ball far out into right field. 1t was
easily tWO-bagger, but Hulcn lengthen-
ed il into three while Fricllen was am
bling after the ball at the gait of a snail
and then completed the circuit of bases
when Fricken fumbled the ball after
finally getting it. That was the run thar
was needed to tie, and in the tenth the
Cowboys pounded out five more runs,
while the Saints could not get past sec
ond base when the runs were needed.
SCHOOL BOY PLAY.
1t was not a case of being unable to hit
the bail, for the Saints connected with
Gears curves almost at Will. 1t was
simply a case Of school hoy play. The
defeat is all the more disgTaceful be-
cause it was administered by the Cow
boys. %;ho have been in the last division
since the opening OF the season, and who,
at. The present time. are mostly a lot of
Pennsylvania state league men that have
been called in by Manning to help him
finish the season.
The Cowboys were first at bat, but
a. fast as they faced Frickcn For the
next i've innigs it was the same old
story 1!t though they got hits almost every

Schaub ended the inning with a fly to
Isbell. lShen succeeded i'ric!len in the
eighth and retired thu Cowboys in one,
two. ti.rce order. The story of the ninth
has been told with the exception that
had Iulcn been held on third as he
should have been. the Cowboys would
not have scored that inning and the
garle would have been at an end for Hal
ligan and ftCthfrss both hit 10 IsbeH and
