The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-06-29

Kansas City at Milwaukee.
Detroit at Columbus.
Buffalo at Indianapolis.
Roger Denzer and Edwin Burke lost a
game to Minneapolis yesterday afternoon
players in very dirty uniforms marked
St. Paul. who We're presumably acces-
series before the fact. but they could
hardly be convicted of the actual COM
mission of the offense.
Roger pitched the ball so fast that the
batsmen could not see it, and in ten
long innings the Millers secured two
hits, of which one was a very lucky one
which struck the third base sack right
in the surcingle. Roger also pitched the
ball so fast that the umpire couldn't
see it any better than the batsmen. Most
of the time he said he could see it worse,
and he called several of them worse. Ten
batsmen became base runners by reason
of Umpire Brennan's expressions of
opinions as to these bad or worse balls.
Where there are two umpires in game
the surest way to even up the chances
of fll-doing by the personal equation is
to alternate the umpires behind the bat
ment on balls and strikes is so far su-
perior to that of Mr.. Haskell to vest in
him the monopoly of decisions at the
plate, then that superiority must have
been latent yesterday, for there We're no
evidences of ii furnished. The highest
compliment that could be paid to Mr..
Brennan yesterday was the dubious Gel
ticism heard in the grandstand, that he
gave Minneapolis the worst of it as
much as he did st. Paul"
1t was a splendid game take it all in
all. Subtract the fielding errors of St.
Paul, subtract Rogers wildness, subtract
the MflIers' inability to get a smash at
the leather when it was especially Ut
gent, subtract the inevitable feeling that
the umpire was rotten, whether he was
or not, and there was still a glorious
afternoons sport pulled off in front of
the grandstand.
1t is safe to say that Roger Denzer
was pulled out of more tight places by
his own and other folks efforts yeSter-
day than in any similar period in his ex-
istence. Rogers troubles began early,
like the diseases of children. For the
Group he had two bases on balls and
scratch hit to the third sack, which filled
the bases in the first, or would have had
not IsbeII blocked the head Miller out at
first Then King Wer6fen came up and
drove fly to Preston, who caught it
nicely. 3,
Eddie Burke. retuvenated by weeks
rest, famed the air. The next two failed
to get the ball out of the diamond, Meme
fee seeming to puzzle the stiekers.
Smith went out on a grounder to Isbelf
in the second, but Denzer or Brennan,
or somebody, walked the Algonquin, or
whatever his name is, to first, whereat
he stole second. Now, as he taketh him
self down to second, Spies doth throw
the ball even to the outer garden, where
Burke, a thrifty person, doth return 1T
anon to Geier: But as he is deeply agi-
tated, seeing the ponderous form of
Abyssinia coming down toward him,
Geier droppeth the ball, even as it were
a hot potato, and Abercrombie slideth
into the third sack. dusty but undefiled.
He scored on Fishers fly to Burke. Men
efee was hit by pitched ball. but Lally
took Davis fly.
LaTly and IsbeH flew to Nance and
Smith, but Shugart and Preston put two
beautiful daisy cutters down straight
line that intersected Aguinaldos garden
spot in the center. Spies had a chance
to drive in a run, but hit sharp one at
Menefee, who threw him out.
Denzer opened the third very discour-
agingly with a base on balls for Nance,
and there were two on bases when Is
bell dropped Glenalvin's throw of a
was up again, with runners on second
and third. but Perry went out on foul
strikes and Smith hit high one to
Burke.
After Denzer flew to Davis, Burke hit
safely, but was caught trying to steal
second, and Geier was thrown out by
AndrOmeda-
the fourth two of them after two were
out. but the head Miller came up with his
mighty cudgeI and cudgeled one of the
cutest little pop-ups you ever saw down
into the garden and hands Of Bobby
GlenaIvin, there at second base. 1t was
one two, three with the Saints, like the
refrain of an old song.
MINES men went IN like order, Shu-
CART doing some pretty work here.
Then he faced Menefee for a second
time, and put another Of those ground
hits through the abOrfgine's corner. Pres
ton hunted and nearly beat 1t, too, for
1t was a beauty that dropped almost at
the plate. Spies landed on the leather for
a good drive that sent the ball far into
Davis district, and Shugart scored. Spies
went to second when the ball was thrown
tie the plate, but was doubled out when
Werden caught DenZer'S low liner that
looked like a sure drive.
In the sixth Roger gave two bases
on balls after two were out and this
time II was up TO Nance TO WIN the
game, but the sailors wife gave Shu-
CART a pop-up, and that was over again.
Burke flew to Andrews, and Werden
took Geier's grounder GienaIvin hit a
safe one to left, and Lally followed with
a good drive down right. 1t looked as
though Menefee might be contemplating
an excursion to higher attitudes. but he
made a fine throw on Isbelrs hard bunt,
which he nearly beat out.
One was out when Shugart let An
drews grounder go through him, but
Preston made a fine catch of Werden's
long foul to the score board Andrews
went to second, but Burke made a fine
catch under Smiths fly, and the score
was still a tie.
Andrews threw out Shugart and Pres
ton, but Spies walked, Menefee's first
present. 1t was Denzers chance to save
his own game, and to Menefee's con-
sternation and the delight of the st. Paul
delegation, Roger met the ball hard. and
