did bang the ball about and at times il
looked as if nothing could possibly prevent
them from getting the odd game of the five
from the Colonels They didn't get it and
a repetition of those awful blunders that
have characterized the work of the local
team for some time past was the cause of
the defeat The exhibition was misera-
BILE one and the wonder is that Ehret, who
pitched for the home players, did not be-
come disguised and allow the visitors to
have all the hits and runs they wanted.
Ehret Didn't Lose Heart
But amid the most discouraging surround
ings Ehret kept his gait and the visitors
only got four hits that looked anything like
safe. This was to his credit and the score
at the end Of the ninth inning should easily
have been TO in favor of the home team
The latter earned four of their five runs by
good batting and Louisville got all theirs
by errors on part of the home players. But
it must not be imagined that the visitors
were not playing bali. They did play ball
and although they could not hit Ehret's de-
livery they played very excellent, indeed, in
the field.
Shugart once more was the Jonah He
made five mistakes and some of them cost
the home team the game The three runs
in the fourth inning were all the result of
the little shortstops blunders and despite
that fact some of the audience cheered
him. That was very funny, indeed. Had
lie played In anything like good form there
would not have been a run scored in the
fourth and the game would have ended to
in the ninth inning. But an extra inning
was necessary and here Shugart made
another mistake and aided by Farrell and
Miller three runs were scored by the visi-
tors without their making hit.
The weather was favorable for baseball,
but less than 1000 were present, doubtless,
owing to the poor playing of the local men
during the last few games. Sanders pitched
for the visitors, and although he had lots of
speed, the local men hit him hard and often
But the support was of the very best kind
and that stopped the locals from getting
sufficient runs to win the very uninterest-
ing game.
The Singers Started TO Score.
In the second half of the second inning a
single by Miller, sacrifice by Beckley and
Shugart's double to left, earned run.
In the fourth inning after Brown was out
Shugart's tumble sent Taylor to first and be
scored on Weaver's triple to right center.
Shugart made another tumble on Pfeffer's
grounder and also made wild throw when
he got the ball, and as a result Weaver

sacrifice by BassetJ scored Pfeffer
In the second half of the inning Van Hal
tren started off with double to center and
scored on Beckley's single. In the second
halt OF the fifth inning the locals tied the
score on two-bagger by Donovan to center
and single by Farrell after two men were
out
No more runs were made until the tenth
inning, when two errors by Farrell, one
each by Shugart. Beckley and Miller, al
lowed three runs to tally without hit.
In the second half Donovan led off with
double and scored on Farrell's SIM gle. Van
Haltren forced Farrell out at second, and
two errors by Pfeffer allowed Van Haltren
to score. Beckley got his base on balls,
one OF Pfeffer's errors allowed Smith to
reach first, and Shugart was given his base
on balls, filling the bases A single would
have won the game, but Bierbauer could
only force Shugart out at second, which
ended the game. The score:
