The Saint Paul globe., 1899-07-15

The last game of the series between st.
Paul and Buffalo was the fastest. The
one preceding it yesterday afternoon was
far from being slow. Both were played
on the Lexington park grounds to an au-
dience of 1,OOG. In the sixth inning of
the first game Spies made a circus catch
and the applause re-echoed from the
grand stand to bleachers for several min
utes. The first game opened up with
Knoll at the plate, but he merely led a
procession of himself, Garry and White
who went out in the order named For
Comiskey's men this act was duplicated
Ball, Turke and T.ally playing the star
parts in winding up the first inning In
the second Dillon, Hall and Hallman con-
trihuted a good imitation in the first half
Of the second, but when they had been
counted out. it seemed impossible for ST.
Paul to resist the temptation to go and
do likewise So there was really no play
ing for points until the third, when Knoll
made a hit He did not carry it far,
however for Hausen went out to Shu-
"aIt and AmOle flew to Ball. leaving
Knoll to wind up the inning at the home
plate, WI ere he was caught by Spies.
Shugart hit safely for first. and Spies
walked. But everybody woke up when
Ball, who had also earned an opportunity
to walk, but had been denied the priVil-
ege by Haskell broke into the somno-
lence oi the game by q rafting two-bag-
ger. Ana then Spies opened the run-get-
ting. But that ended it. Shugart had
been caught off first by Dillon, and Lally
had failed to reach it, and Denzer had
been struck out.
In the first of the fourth Garry reached
first on an error: White not, although he
tried to, but Dillon made hit and
fingered at first while Hall flew to Shu-
CART. Hallman ended the thing, and it
was up to st. Paul for the last half of
the fourth. This was the event in which
GIenalVin made the second and last run
for ST. Paul He opened it with a clean
hit that lodged everybody, and then Is
bell chuTned out a three-bagger that let
in GleralVin. Preston went out to Dillon,
as did Shugart, and IsbelI failed to ma
terialize at the home plate owing to a
misunderstanding with Greminger on
third.
Buffalo should have had some runs in
the fifth, but failed somehow TO realize
on her investment AInoIe smashed out a
hit, and SO did Greminger but Hausen
flew to Isbell Amoe did not connect with
second and Knoll could not beat out the
ball to the first, while Glenalvin and Is
bell We're using the sphere to obstruct
L
was caught between Dillon and Hallman,
Shugart lleW to Garry, and Spies to Hall
The stuff was off
Buffalo wanted some runs and hereto
fore there had been manifested a disposi-
ton on the part of st. Paul to deny her
the privileges Of the home plate. In the
first Of the sixth White failed to beat out
a hit to Denzer, but this didn't appear
TO annoy Dillon little bit. He hit safe,
and Hall slid on to first through an error
Then Hallman coaXed them both home
by three-bagger This ended it. Grem-
niger was caught at second, and Hausen
flew to Lally. 1t was horse and horse in
the sixth, and st. Paul didn't do her
self bit Of good in the seventh. Denzer
was thrown out at first by Greminger
Ball popped one over into the right
meadow and Knoll got under it while
Burke, after having smashed out q clean
hit by long drive to center, was caught
at second by a lively piece Of juggIery
between Greminger and Hallman Then
Amole spun a toplifter over into the con-
siderate hands of Shugart, Knoll flew to
Lally and White was the third man out
on shift of the yarn between Shugart
and Glenalvin.
Then Lally popped a fly over to Garry,
who was at home and all dressed to re-
celve company. Glenalvin was presented
with base on balls Isbeu advanced
GlenalVin to third, but himself fell down
between Dillon and Hallman. Preston
jumped a fly over in the direction of
Garry and the drop curtain fell on the
first scene of the eighth. White went to
first, but missed his footing on second
Dillon went out on a pOp-up to Spies and
Hall worked out a three-bagger and aft
erwards brought it home Then Greminger
dropped ball into the hands of LalIy.
and wound up the Buffalo end of the
game.
St Paul wanted one to tie and two to
beat with Buffalo an odd half to monkey
with. Shugart raped out a bit bnt
Spies flew to Hall, and Geier who had
gone to bat for Denzer, missed first
owing to the activity of Greminger and
Dillon, and when Ball was taken into
camp with a captured pop-up by Dillon,
the fans began to call for the second
