The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-07-05
MORNING GAME.

One of the prettiest games of the series
between the two clubs was played in the
morning, and while the Millers won, it
was but another illustration that one run
is all that the Millers are due to get off
Johnny Katon in a nine-inning game.
They should by proper fielding have been
held down to one run Sunday, and they
should have been similarly restricted yes
terday morning.
Shugart did not show up for the game,
and Geier went to short, Hoffmeister
playing third. Two were out in the sec
ond inning, and Abbatichio on first by
virtue of the Millers' first safe hit, when
Fisher bowled a fast one toward Geier,
but Hoffmeister, in his over-anxiety,
dashed in front of the little fellow de-
hected the ball, and then when he did
get it threw badly to second base, so that
both the runners advanced another sack
Parker nit a savage grOunder right
through the pitchers box, and scored
both.
That was one dark spot in a game that
was brilliantly pitched
In the first inning Katoll walked Carey,
but none of the others reached first. In
the third Andrews walked with two out
and Werden fouled a high one on the
first ball pitched. A lucky bound that
carried Spith's single over Lally's head
for three bases gave the visitors the win
ming run in the fourth. when Abbatichio
gave Dan a long fly, although the play
was close at the plate. Katoll made a
fine pickup of Fishers bunt, and Parker
went out on an easy one to Isbell.
In the fifth they went out in order but
the sixth was a nervous period. Andrews
opened with a single into left, which
Lally let get through his hands, giving
him two more sacks. 1t looked like a sure
run, but the king famed. Smith hit to
KatolI. who shot the ball to Hoffmeister,
and Gabby was caught off third, whereat
he did pirate most VOlubly for several
minutes with the moral and physical
backing of Peanuts, the high pipe The
side should have been out when Abba
tichio lined one at Glenalvin, but it was SO
easy that GlenalVin grew careless and
dropped it. Both runners were safe, but
Fisher batted one at Hoffmeister, who
poNed the ball into Smith as he came
down the line.
Katoll alone was responsible for being
put in a hole in the seventh for a mo-
ment Parker and Carey soaking hot ones,
with a long fly for Davis to Lally be-
tween. There were two on bases when
Willy Walt wObbled his willow in front of
the pitcher and could not bat the ball
beyond katOll. The yell that Minneap-
oils had been storing up started to es-
cape, but was quickly hushed and died in
a concerted, convulsive gurgle, as the
Stevens Pointer sought his secluded spot
at the coaching line. Andrews was their
last hope, and Lally put him on the hand
car for another push down the grade.
Two were left on the sacks.
In the eighth Katoll was batted safely
by Werden, who at last managed to con-
meet with one of the puzzling slow ones,
and Smith walked after four wide ones.
But AbbatiChiO sacrificed, and Geier
took Fishers pop-up. The day was saved
again when Burke came under Parker's
fly.
Two were out in the ninth when Katoll
walked the big Ogema. who thought he
had a snap when Andrews smashed a
hard one into Preston's garden. II was
a little different, however, when Preston
made a fine throw to third base and
Hoffmeister put the ball over the chief
tain at least ten feet short of third base.
The locals started off well, Abbatichio' S
very painful tumble Of an apparently
easy one giving Burke early start.
Geier gave Fisher a foul, but Glenalvin
