The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-05-19


The Saints gathered a fair quantity
of consolation for previous setbacks
yesterday by going around the Colonies
like a cooper round a barrel and Incl
dentally putting a few hoops on one
Wright who dealt for the visitors.
When Kelley's men got through with
Mr.. Wright he was seventeen hits to
the bad with a home run and eight
doubles included. Score, Louisville 2,
St Paul II.
Wright, with his sinister delivery
was exactly what the Saints had been
waiting for, and before he got down to
real business it was too late to save
even piece of the game for the Blue
Grass gentlemen. Chech was another
disheartening element for Dexter, who
evidently came to the conclusion that
his team could get any great number
of hits anyway, so what was the use of
trying another pitcher in Wright's
stead.
The tOssers from the bat town scrap
ed together eleven hits in their nine
times up, but they came in driblets
and when they were punched, which
was rare, fast fielding cut off runs In
the first double and a single were
brought off in succession, but Jones
whipped the ball in from center and
caught the runner at the plate.
Schreiver, the grand old man of the
diamond, batted out another home run
yesterday, but it counted for one only,
as the bases were cleared. Kelley, who
has been a little shy at the stick of
late, woke up with a jump and con-
tributed home run and two doubles
to Wright's agony incidentally scoring
three times. Marcan was at bat three
times and got two doubles and a sin
gle, and came home every time.
Mr.. Pears, called umpire by courtesy,
was in much better voice yesterday
and did fairly well, all things consid-
. cred. He made several decisions more
8 or less unsatisfactory, but in COMPARE
son with the previous days, his work
was polished perfection.
Clean Game in Field.
Both teams put up a lively clean
game in the field CIingman making
the only error, and this was a pardon
able one. White was on second, when
Wright sent one down toward short.
White behaved as if he never saw a
ball in motion before and stood around
IN front of the grounder until it almost
struck him. He then deftly shifted him
self toward third so that CIingman only
saw the ball for a minute fraction of a
ference, but it escaped the umpire'S
microscopic eye.
The contest was bare of sensational
features unless the two baggers be
excepted, and the Saints got so many
Of these that they were quite com
mon and hardly in good taste, before
the affair was concluded. Some day
the field will get wet and shrink little
and then there will have to be a roof
put on to keep the ball inside.

the possessor of a wing of good carry
ing capacity and plenty of Judgment
ana he caught Arndt with ease.
Jones the first time up went out
from short to first and opened a bat
ting debauch. Clingman waited and
got to first and Wright thought he had
better give jackson a base, which he
uld. Wheeler picked out right field TO
locate his single and Clingman came
home.
O'Brien hit for a pair of bases and
jackson and Wheeler came in. Kelley

The Saints went out, one two, three

hits IN the second they availed nothing
With two out, Hart singled and Arndt
followed with a safe one to center.
Arndt was kind of anxious to get to
second on the hit, but Jones caught
him. retiring the side with nice little
cipher hung up wherebody could see it.

Paul.
Four men faced Chech in the fourth,
one getting to first on pass, and Dex-
