The Saint Paul globe., 1901-07-20

With a patched up outfeld and an in
held that was patched Up and crippled in
the bargain the Saints faced Des Moines
IN the first series yesterday and lost by
one run in a game that while the score
was small, was long drawn out and
rather uninteresting. Only occasionally
were there flashes of bright playing to re-
lieve the monotony. In the absence Of
Sandy McDermott, who seems to have
suddenly jumped off the earth Brain
who was out of the game with a lame
wrist, and Dammann were pressed into
service as umpiTes. Their work, as it
naturally would. brought out an occa-
sional argument, but on the whole they
gave satisfaction and were very fair and
impartial in their decisions. Cogan and
Glade were the opposing pitchers and
both pitched mastery bal. While CO.
gan allowed but five hits to the seven OBJ
tanned by the Saints off Glade, the eX-
alderman struck out but three men to
Glade's seven and two of the five hits
made off Dick were three-saci1ers. Both
men kept their hits well scattered and in
but one inning did either allow more

Patched up as they were the Saints
should have won the game. for they sent
g total of fourteen men to first base, while
the 'Midgets were only able to get one
half that number away from the home
plate safely. 1t was sad that Dillard
had a headache. Anyway he did not an
pear In uniform, and his absence, in addi,
tion to Brains, who was really out be-
cause the condition Of his arm would not
allow his playing, made It necessary to
put Chech in the outfeld and send Scha-
fer from second to third, while Huggins,
with his lame shoulder, was sent to see
ond. The Saints put up an errorless
game with the exception of one very bad

WILSON'S WILD THROW
The visitors made all their runs in the
fifth. Hines was first up and was
passed. Hoffman famed. Cote hit
long fly TO left center that carried him to
third and scored Hines Cogan passed
Thiel with the evident intention of giving
q chance for an attempted double steal
so that Cote might be caught at the plate.
The Midgets fell into the trap and all
might have been we'll but for the fact
that Wilson, when Thiel started for sec
ond, threw the ball about seven feet over
Huggins' head. By the time Chech was
able to get it back to the diamond Cote
had scored and Thiel was on third and
crossed the plate q moment later on
O'Learys single. After that Cogan did
not depend on anything but stra ight OLD
time ball playing and his own pitching
Ryan opened the game for the Saints
with a single, but it was wasted, while the
first run crossed the plate IN the second
inning without the aid OF q hit. Shan
non was passed and stole second and
third. Schaf5r also drew four wide ones
and stole second. 1t was up to Holly.
but he fouled out. Wilson put long
fly to left that scored Shannon. Glade
hit COgan and things still looked good
with Ryan coming up, but the best the
manager could do was an infield hit that
forced Cogan at second.
Chech opened the third inning with a
single, but no one behind him was able
to connect. The second and final tally
made by the Saints came in the fifth.
Kelley hit to Hoffman and reached first
on a tumble, Hugg!ns sacrificed him to
second and he scored on Shannon's sin
gle Schafer followed with a fly ball to
right field II at got mixed up with the
sun and fell safely. Shannon went to
third on the hit and Schafer to second on
the throw in to cut Shannon off. With
but one out and two men on bases Holly
struck out and Wilson went out at first
1t was up to Ryan to win the game in the
eighth, when Wilson and Cogan had land
ed on bases on the formers single and
O'Leary's bad throw, but the manag T
was unable to get the ball out of the
diamond and was an easy out.
Percival Werden found it impossible to
solve Dick CCgan's delivery and had to
content himself with the fate of not even
reaching first Score:
