League Record.
UNLUCKY LOUIsvILLEs.
With the Umpire to Help, the Club Could
Not Win,

LOUISVILLE, September I.-With rather
the best of the umpiring Louisville was de-
feated this afternoon. Bungling play did it.
The game was close playing up to the sixth
inning, Cincinnati having only two runs, due
to an error by Tomney and wild throw by
Vaughan. In the sixth, easy flies were twice
lost by two men running for them and having
no coaching, and this went far toward their
runs. Ewing pitched well, but he had poor
support. Mullane's pitching was effective, and
at critical times he had good support The day
was quite cool, but sunshiny. Attendance, $50.
