GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. I.— St.
Paul is now leading the Western
league, having won two games from
Grand Rapids this afternoon. Both
games were pretty contests and were
won on their merits by better team
work than the locals. Two games will
be played Sunday afternoon, and, as
Grand Rapids is no stronger than it is
today, or was yesterday, the Saints
should be able to place a good lead
between them and the Hoosiers, who
have led the league so long. While
the audience today was strictly parti
san, the disappointment of defeat in
double-barreled doses was more than
made up by the knowledge that the
games placed Comiskey's Saints in the
lead of the organization. Mullane and
Fricken were the pitchers for St. Paul
in the two games and each acquitted
himself with great credit. Fricken
especially did good work, and he had
to do it to win the game in which he
pitched. Little Leon Wolters was his
opponent, and by excellent work, both
with his head and with his arm, staved
off the inevitable defeat for ten innings
and gave the Saints as hard a run for
their money as they will have again
this season. His work was perfect,
but in the tenth inning the "never-say
die" spirit that has made St. Paul the
most popular team tUat comes to Grand
Rapids made iself manifest, and the
game was won out after great effort
on the part of the locals, who in the
first half took a lead of one run and
set the pace.
Both games were played for one ad
missiOnf ttie "ftrst owr being called at
l:4!i and the second immediately after
the first was over. The longer Goar
pitched in the first game the better he
got, and the longer the men behind
him played the better they got. The
Saints made the running aJI through
the game and, though a stiff and gal
lant uphill fight was made, defeat could
not be staved off. No matter how good
ball Grand Rapids played, the Saints
had a little better and trotted it out
for inspection. Hits were bunched on
Goar in the opening innings of game
number one, and before he regained his
speed and confidence eight runs had
been piled up on an equal number of
hits. Ja?k Glasscock led the fielding
honors, and hitting honors were easy.
Grand Rapids bunched on Mullane in
the sixth and seventh innings, but
aside from those he was invincible.
The second game was far prettier
and better played than the first. Grand
Rapids set the pace until the seventh
inning, when hits were bunched on
little WoUers with the result that four
runs and the lead of the game were
made by the Saints. He had pitched
himself in a hole in the sixth, and with
two men on bases and none out, volun
tarily gave George a base on balls. He
then settled down and retired three
men on strikes, with none scoring. In
the eighth and ninth Grand Rapids
tied the score and in the tenth t(K>k a
lead of one run. It was batted in by
Wolters himself. In the last half of
the inning George flew out. Burns

CAN'T HIT THE HALL,.
HooHlem Have Found Out Why They
Are in Second Place.
Special to the Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. I.— The
Millers and Champions fought through
twelve hard innings today with the
score a tie. Darkness finally inter
vened. Indianapolis played a brilliant
game aside from the hitting of the
team. It was this weakness with the
stick that is responsible for the club's
landing in second place. Walter Wil
mot Is largely responsible for the dis
comfiture of the Indianapolis club.
His fielding was sensational in the ex
treme. Carney, the Millers' young
twlrler, also aided largely in breaking
their hearts. He was wild atid sent
eight men to first base on balls and
advanced two more on wild pitches.
He was effective, however, when the
home club had opportunities for scor
ing. The Millers secured first blood.
It was in the second inning that they
first scored. Schriver pounded the
ball to right for three bases, but Stew
art overthrew third and allowed him to
score. Werden got first on four wild
ones, but the next three men were re
tired in order, one from pitcher to first
and the other two striking out.
Indianapolis tied in the fourth.
Shannon scratched a two-bagger to
right, the ball falling short of Preston,
who ran in on it. There was one man
out and Hogan retired on a drive
to Connor. Davis popped up a high
one which fell just inside the foul line
and out of reach of both Preston and
Connor, and. Shannon scored.
In the fifth Indianapolis got a lead
of one. Buckley reached 'fti'gt on balls.
Wood singled to right and Preston
fumbled, giving Buckley third. Motz
sacrificed, advancing' Wood, I>uT Buck
ley was held at third. Stewart was de
liberately given a base on balls and the
bases were filled. Scheibeck hit a long
foul to Lally and Buckley scored.
Shannon drove a hard grounder di
rectly into Connor's fists, ending the
inning. Minneapolis tied the score in
the sixth, with two men out. Schei
beck let Wilmot's grounder get
through him. Schriver hit safely to
right, Wilmot going to third. Werden
nailed one past Shannon for a single,
scoring the run. Preston -filed to
Hogan, ending the run getting. The

SAIXTS AXD MILLERS.
Their Work With the Sticlc Is Sttll
Creditable.
The following tables show the individual
and team batting of the St. Paul and Minne
apolis clubs, which is of special interest in
view of the promise the teams are now giv
ing that they will both be ahead of Indian
apolis when the Hooslers make their next
trip, if not before they return. While the
locals have not kept up the terrific speed
with the bat that characterized their work
prior to the advent of Columbus and Indian
apolis pitchers here, yet the work has been
very creditable, and the Saints have far the
preponderance in both hits and runs over
their opponents In the 87 games played. The
same is true of Minneapolis, but in a less
i degree. The figures for St. Paul include yes

THE SAINT PAUI, GLOBE* SUNDAY, AUGUST 3, 1890.
ADRIAN O. ANSON, BASEBALL'S GRANDEST VETERAN,
There have been greater first basemen,
heavier batters and managers of teams who
were considered better than Anson, but there
is only one Anson, and so long as base ball
lives it is a matter of doubt if there ever
will be another who will obtain the name or
fame. Twenty years of service with the Chi
cago team has not impaired the usefulness
of this grand athlete. Those who knew him
in the old days say he is playing Just as well
as he did when he was a much younger man
The temperate and abstemious life he has led
has had much to do with the length of time
he stays in the game. All the different
branches of sport have a central figure to
whom the public looks for all that is great
As Schaefer always will be to the billiard
world, Ned Hanlan in rowing, the famous
Dr. Grace in cricket, Sullivan in pugilism,
so will Anson always be looked upon as the
central figure in the great national game.
Both personally and athletically, his career
has been clean and upright. He is a typical
sportsman, true and honest, who never
stooped to a mean or unfair advantage An
son began to play ball in Marshalltown Io
many years ago. but it is so long that the
captain has probably forgotten the exact date

An anonymous "fan" has been writing long
letters to this office complaining that Mullane
is being given the worst of it in the
G1 o b c's tables showing the records of the
men. She admits that Mullane has lost eight
games, but she excludes the 13-inning game
at Columbus, when Tony was batted for
three runs the first inning that he pitched,
namely, the 13th. Until "fan" signs b«r
name her communications will receive no
more attention.

HOFFER'S GREAT SCHEME.
BALTIMORE, Md., An*. I.— The Senators
were shut <wit today in the first tune they
played since Joyce left the ntne. Koßer
pitched * wonderfully rtMdy game, striking
himself. He played on an amateur team, of
which his father and brother were members,
and after that he Joined the Rockfords and
played with them for the following two years.
The team was an independent affair, but at
tracted plenty of attention throughout the
country. The fame of Anson soon reached
to the East, and he was offered a fine place
with the Athletics, of Philadelphia. He
played there for five years and then joined
the Chicago team. It is related of him that
he was anxious to leave the West after, he
had played here for one year and that he al
most begged the management to give him his
release, but was induced to stay, and has
been here ever since. He Joined the team In
1876, Just twenty years ago. He has threat
ened to retire from the game several times
and devote" his time to managing it, but
after a space he has always drifted back to
first base, and is playing it today fully as
well as a majority of the younger members
of other teams. Anson is a man of strong
domestic tastes and has a charming family.
He is in the vicinity of forty-five and is of
English descent. Besides his ability as a
ball player, Anson Is an excellent billiardist
an expert at trap shooting and a skillful man
in the handball alley.— Chicago Times-Herald.

apolis Lodge No. 44, B. P. O. Elks, will cross
bats on the Minneapolis base ball grounds
Wednesday, Aug. 12. There is no question
that it will be a good game, as the teams
have been selected after considerable prac

AND COMISKEY WINS
From St. Paul Fans Who Had More
Money Than Sand.
The result of yesterday's games result in
a clear profit to Manager Comiskey of over
$200, aside from the gate receipts, that amount
having been contributed by sundry citizens
of St Paul who had not as much confidence
in the team aa had the manager. Commy
was betting two to one that the team would
reach first.

A telegram received yesterday from man
ager Comiskey states that he has released
Bert Inks and has sent to Winona for
Phyle to Join the team at once. Inks'.condi
tion was not what was expected of him.
O'Rourke is out of the game on account of
a "Charley horse."

H. K. Hoffer. of Philadelphia, a stake
holder in a base ball bet, asked a Philadel
phia newspaper to decide which game of
the two played in one day by Cleveland
and Baltimore was the regular scheduled
contest. President Young was appealed to,
and he replied: "When two games are
played on the same day, one being a post
poned game, the first one played is the reg
ular scheduled game for that day."
The decision Is contrary to the opinion of
nearly all the sporting authorities of the
land, but will have to stand, all the same.
For years it has been the law among au
thorities that if two games are played in
one day the second was regarded as the
regular scheduled one, and all bets had to
be decided by its result. The late Harry
Wright was the author of this belief, and
his judgment In the matter was never ques
tioned.
For two months before Second Baseman
O'Brien, of Louisville, had been traded to
Washington neither Dexter nor McCreary
had spoken to him.

"Sammy" Dungan was 30 years old Wednes
day and received presents galore when he
stepped to the plate In the first inning. They
were handed to Umpire O'Day, who turned
them over to Sam, and Nicholson insisted on
his opening the three parcels. The largest one
contained a birthday cake with thirty raisins
on the top. The next size had an "all-day
sucker," the small boy's paradise, and the
third a small nursing bottle, but this seemed
strangely out of place. Everybody was laugh-
Ing, and Dungan's best effort was a measly
little grounder to Glenalvin.

A regiment of actors attended a game at

contest— prize, a gold-headed umbrella. The
big Californian is a waltzer from away back.
When he takes a sweep along the
floor everybody retires and three min

lute possession of the place. At this
affair he waltzed hie best and, after two hours'
toil, was returned a winner, all others giving
up from weariness. Bill, as proud as a lion
led his partner to a seat and started for the
umbrella. It wasn't there. While all eyes
were fastened upon the fortunate hero some
body had stolen the prize and Lange's efforts
were wasted labor. Griffith says that he never

Special Correspondence to the Olobe.
NEW YORK, July 30.— Some rather
remarkable records are being made
these midsummer days. Probably the
most remarkable of all were the five
shut outs in the National league on
July 21. Only seven games were
played, but in five of them one of the
opposing teams failed to score. The
Washingtons on that day got a double
dose at Cleveland, playing eighteen in
nings without crossing the plate. I be
lieve this never before occurred to a
National league club in one afternoon.
On the same day the Baltimores shut
out the Pittsburg club, and the latter
immediately turned the tables, there
being a double header between the two
teams. The fifth victim was found in
the New York Giants, who failed to
score in their first game at Cincinnati.
Wilson, Wallace, Hoffer, Killen and
Dwyer were the pitchers who accom
plished the quintuple whitewash. Wet,
slippery grounds and soggy balls were
largely responsible for the results.
On the following day three of the six
National league games were of extra
innings. At Cincinnati ten innings
were required, at Chicago eleven, and
at Louisville thirteen. In each instance
the home team won, and in two of the
games the visiting team tied the score
in the ninth inning with three runs.
This is a notable occurrence, because
extra inning games this year have been
much less frequent than last season.
Another novelty of the base ball sea
son was the St. Paul club's feat of
duplicating the winning record made
by the Philadelphias in 1892— sixteen
victories in succession. This the Apos
tles, as they are called, did on July 22.
Ever since the Quakers made that rec
ord four years ago under the late Harry
Wrigh^'B management other clubs have
been trying to reach it. The Buffalos,
of the Eastern league, beat it, I be
lieve, last season. The big league rec
ord in straight defeats for 1896 is held
by the St. Louis Browns, which made
it fifteen.
Finally we have the Cincinnati's
record of fourteen victories out of six
teen games played with the New
Yorks, Philadelphias, Brooklyns, Wash
ingtons and Baltimores on their home
ground.
The National league pennant race
this year has already settled down to
a contest among three of the twelve
clubs. Barring unheard of accident,
none of the other nine has a possible
chance in the two remaining months
of the season. Though the Cinclnantis
have made such a splendid fight, It is
the general opinion that the Baltimores
will again win handily. Even the root
ers for the Reds are Inclined to con
cede the pennant to the Baltimores and
are concentrating their hopes upon
beating the Clevelands out of second
place, and thereby getting a chance to
contend for the Temple cup. They will
have a hard task to do even that.
The Baltimores, as a team, outclass
everything else In the National league.
No one will for one hour doubt it
after watching them play against their
competitors. They use science where
other teams employ physical strength.
They work together as a whole where
other teams look to personal perform
ances.
Whatever credit there may be In the
Cincinnati's remarkable and unexpect
ed position In the league race, much of
it belongs to Captain-Manager Ewing.
Buck is not the king of players which
he was ten years ago, but he always
knew every point of the game, and he
has not forgotten any of them. Ewing
Is a base ball tactician who never fails
to see an advantage or to put it to his
club's credit. With a very ordinary lot
of players he has welded together a
team for Cincinnati whose work has
not only aroused intense enthusiasm in
the Queen City of the West, but has
also developed rooters - all over the state
of Ohio. When the Baltimores played
on the Cincinnati grounds Sunday, July
19, excursions were run into the city
on nearly all the centering railroads,
and the Baltimore club was paid for
nearly 15,000 spectators. That is is a
tremendous crowd of people and com
pared to the size of the c'ty is pro
portionately the largest gathering of
rooters ever seen at a base ball match.
Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and
Brooklyn have at numerous times turn
ed out larger crowds, but they have
greater populations to draw from.
For most of the rest of the season the
battle for the league pennant will be
transferred to the East. This is where
the Baltimores will get a winning ad
vantage. Beginning with the Ist of Au
gust, they will play thirty-five games
on their own ground and only twelve
abroad, while in the same time the Cln
cinnatis will have thirty-three road
games and the Clevelands thirty. All
who know what a decided advantage
a club has at home over Its visitors
will readily see why the Baltimores are
by far the most probable winners of the
pennant.
Excepting the champions, the late
Western trip of the Eastern clubs has
been a great disappointment. This is
particularly true of Boston, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Washington clubs,
-which were expected to make a good
showing and which marked their prog
ress through the Western cities by al
most constant defeats. The New Yorks.
from whom little was expected, did bet
ter and created surprise by beating the
Clevelands twice. In this intersectional
series Anson's Colts made their annual
spurt and pulled up into fourth place,
where they promise to land when the
season has ended.
The New York team's long and In
effectual attempt to win three succesive
games is one of the curiosities of the
present year. This rather strange fatal
ity caused almost a spirit of supersti
tion to come over the New York play
ers in every game after two straight
victories.
There is some attempt made to be
little Delehanty's recent feat of four
home runs to five times at bat by re
calling: the circumstances of Lowe's
four home runs several years ago. The
latter made his record on the Congress
street ground, in Boston, with its short
left field, and every one of the four hits
was a fly over that fence. I presume
several of the balls could have been
caught had there been an open field.
The-Delehanty feat cannot be matched
by any performance with the bat since
the present style of the game has been
played.
What a chance there ia for young
base ball players who have ability,
nerve and intelligence! New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Brooklyn, all
have scouts out hunting for phenome-

The game of base ball at Aurora park yet-*
terday afternoon between nines composed of
the employes of the West Publishing com,
pany and the printers from the Globe and
Pioneer Pres« offices resulted in a victory
for the West Publishing aggregation in seven
Innings by a score of 19 to 2. In view of thd
facts that the proceeds were to go to the un
employed printers of the city, a large number
of tickets were sold, and a fair-sized aud

varying interest and amusement.
From the beginning of the first inning,
when the West Publishing team went to bat.
It was evident that the printers were outi
classed, though but one scoro was made be.
fore three men had been retired. Their field
ing was better than that of the printers
and the battery work of Schultz and McHugh
was of an order which made it diflßcult fop
the printers to get men on the Initial baa,
and, when they did, inability to hit the ball
by the succeeding batsmen generally left the
base runner somewhere on the wrong side of
the plate. However, no one expected to sea
