LOUISVILLE, April 10. - "Hustling
Horace" Phillips stood by and sweat blood
this afternoon to see his aggregation so un-
mercifully pounded by the rejuvenated
Louisville nine, at whom he sneered SO con-
hdently when he started out on the present
trip. The Louisville ''Blue jays" as they
have been denominated on account of their
blue uniforms, proved the value of the new
blood by remarkable team and individual
playing that made the contest full of thrilling
interest from beginning to end Captain Ester

base or at the bat, and talked to his men with
such cheering enthusiasm that he made them
as confident as he appeared, and helped them
put up an almost errorless game.
The Smoky City boys worked hard, but not
with their usual enthusiasm and dash, and
Pitcher Morris was too wild to help as he should
have done, while Ewing pitched magnIfcently
for Louisville. Four errors show up on the
Pittsburg side of the score, but three of tho
six runs Louisville got we're earned. The
home club scored once in the second inning.

he went to bat in the second, started the run
getting for his side in the third inning by
taking his base on balls after king" Dunlap

a beautiful hit to left, and both he and Cole

Beckley retired the side by striking out.
Shannon scored for Louisville in the eighth, and
almost a Superhuman play on the part of Sun
day was all that prevented Wolf from making
home run in the ninth. He made tremen:

the ball and by desperate effort caught it
with his hands at the back of his head. The
force of the ball knocked him down and rolled
him over twice, but he clung to the sphere and
