The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-23

Columbus for the second time during
the brief stay of the team vacated the
spot light position in the association in
favor of the Saints. No sooner does the
Clymer band become acclimated to the
high altitude of the percentage column
and get resting comfortably than the
Saints rudely pull the props out from
under them. Glendon's untamed deliY-
cry was the chief factor yesterday. Score,
St Paul 4, Columbus 2
The fact that the game was played at
Lexington park undoubtedly had lot to
do with the result. as Clymer's men were
addicted to long flies to the outfield
many of which would have either hit or
passed over the fence in the down town
park. The visitors got more hits than
fell to the lot of the Saints, but Glendon
had streaks when the plate looked small
er than a dime. He gave five passes and
hit two men, all of which had a direct
bearing in the result.
Yesterdays game furnished Mr. Sessions
an opportunity to repeat his welcoming eff
fort on behalf of the visitors and he re-
luctantly allowed them ten hits, all fair
ly well scattered except in the second
period. Here they came rather thick
TWO doubles IN succession. followed by an
error and single, giving the visitors
their two glimpSeS of home. From then
on he settled down and carefully avoided
getting into anything that looked like
q hole.
The team. behind him boIstered his
good intentions by cleaning up every
thing that came on the ground, or in the
air, within haiing distance. and errors
there were not on batted balls. O'Brien's s
little tumble from perfection was on a
play between bases, where, if he had
kept his hands off an out would have
been made. 1t was one of those efforts
which, if they. are successful, are round
ly applauded, but which. if they fail are
greeted with remarks akin to scorn.
Good Work In Field
C1ingman, Marcan. Jones and Wheeler
took turns in bringing off surprises of
a helding nature. In the first, Clingman
ran back after Wrigley's Texas Lacquer
other pretty catch in the fifth Kelley
deXterously Swiped a foul liner inside
the first sack in the sixth and retired
the side These and few other little
incidents which took place at opportune
times helped out lot in close pinches.
Glendon was the star hitter of his out
fit, securing three singles on four times
up. The former Lacquer was more or
less piqued throughout the game, how
ever, and always looked and acted real
cross. GOrdie Yeager tried to amuse him
from time to time, but Glendon wasn't
IN mood to appreciate the fine insidu-
Gus humOr of the backstop.
Glendon was impartial with his all
lowance of hits to Saints and gave but
one apiece as long as they lasted and
the rest were obliged to go without. The
SAINTS were in very self-sacrificing
spirit. however. and helped each other
along on the bases in good style. Four
1mmolat tons were conducted with sue
cess and results and if it hadn't been
Tor Glendons fielding ability a few of
these would have been safe.
Davis hit the new white ball to Mar
can as an entree and Marcan fielded it
over to Kelley without a skip. Wrigley
attempted to work off one of those
dinky little flies that are in vogue in the
cotton belt But Clingman squirmed un-
der it and Friel followed DAVE example
and retired the side.
Jones picked out four nice ones to
leave alone and walked and Clingman
sacrificed him to second. Jackson wait
ed and got to first and OBrien drove a
long one out to left. which gave him two
bases and put Jones on home Kelley
new out to Davis, retiring the side with
one run.
