The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-07-18

The game between the DISCOVERIES
and the Saints yesterday was well
come contrast from the game of the
two preceding days. Both teams had
their heads up all the time and the
game was full Of ginger and snap. The
DISCOVERIES came very close to tying
the score in the ninth, but just fell
short, and the game ended with score
of 4 to in favor of the Saints.
Umpire Foreman Massnot at his post.
as he is still suffering from the injury
received in Thursdays, game, and his
place was taken by Ferguson and
Crabill. With the exception of one
error of judgment on the part OF Crab
ill, which was excuSable on account OF
his not being in a good position to
judge the play, there was never bet
ter exhibition of good; umpiring at
Lexington. Both men were careful
and accurate on base decisions, and on
balls and strikes they were as nearly
perfect as it is possible to be.
Kelley was out of the game, suffering
from his injury of the day before, and
Bemis PIERCE took his place. Fox, the
Columbus catcher, split his finger in
the fourth inning, and Roach came in
from left field and went behind the bat,
Tooey going to left.
The Columbus team has been having
very bad luck lately with accidents and
sickness. Mellor, the first baseman,
has only just recovered from spell OF
sickness, and Thoney and Gleason are
still in the hospital.
Charlie Chech' got back from his
home in, the, morning and was sent in
to pitch for the Saints He was as
steady as clock, and for seven I'M
nings did not allow hit. In the third
three singles ia row were good for a
run, and three more in the ninth netted
two. ,af--r
Ivor Wagner officiated for Columbus
and the Saints got to him rather free
-ly, connecting safely 7eleyeni times. He
received perfect support or the score
would have assumed much larger pro-
portions. -.
A distinct feature of the game was
the clever work done by both right
fielders. Jackson had but three chanc-
es, but they were hard ones, and each
one brought him hand Arndt was
exceptionally busy and took care of
seven chances, some Of them by no
means easy. ~
Higgins started the scoring in the
second by nice single. Peirce sacri-
feed him to second, and he went to
third on Wheelers long fly. Sullivan
drove one at Wagner that nearly
knocked the pitcher off his feet, and
second on Chechs hit to Morrissey.
Geier opened the third with single
and went to second on Shannon's sac
rifice, scoring on Jackson's long two
Dagger. Flournoy struck out, and Hug
gins cracked out long drive to center,
and Jackson came in with the third
run PIERCE hit oneid down by the sec
ond sack which Higgins got in the way
of and the inning was-ended.

Shannon singled. JaeKson flew out to
Arndt, and Spike stole second. Flour
noy got four wide ones, and then Hug
gins third single brotfght in Shannon.
PIERCE ended the inning by flying out
to Bannon. Wagner allowed but two
hits after this and rtIley were unpro-
ductive. L.
Two DISCOVERIES ihad been disposed
of in the third before there was the
sign of hit. Arndt started the ball
with a drive to right, and he scored on
singles following BY Turner and Ray
ner. Turner and Raymer attempted
the double steal, but some lightning
work on the part of Sullivan and Hug
gins cut short Turner's career at the
plate. Not a single Discoyerer was
able to find second base during the
next five innings. In the ninth three
singles came in a row from Turner,
Raymer and Bannon. Turner scored
on the third one, but Raymer I'M
doubtedly was out at third but was
declared safe by Crabill. who was over
at first base, where he had a poor OPP
portunity to judge the play. Bannon
and Raymer tried the double steal, and
Raymer scored. while Bannon was
caught between first and second. The
game was ended by Chech striking out
Roach and Tooey.
