IN THE AFTERNOON.
Kilroy Went to Pieces in the First Inning
and Then Came Pfcffcr.


"welr Maui" was heard from at least one
third OF the 1900 people at the ball game yester-
day afternoon. He was in the box for the home
team and had made two miserable errors and a
wild pitch. During this time the Louisvilles
scored two runs. II was all over then and he re-
covered his nerve and pitched good ball the bal
ance of the game.
1t was a great Decoration Day for the Senators,
and the genial billie" Barnie will remember
the OCCASION Some one of friends desiring to
commemorate the day, presented him with a
beautiful floral horseshoe. Ii brought him no
good luck, for the Colonels lost the game by a
score of ii TO 9.
When Umpire Hurst called Mr.. Barnie TO the
plate to give him the gift the Louisville players
stood in a circle and barred their heads. Not SO
with the veteran manager Take of your hat,
Billie came from an unsympathetc individual
But the hat was not removed. The air was raw
and 'Billie" has bald head.
The afternoon game was one Of those contests
through which the public gets great deal for
their money, and it served an excellent purpose
for a holiday crowd. II was practically over in
the first inning when the home team made eight
runs, batting kilroy out of the box. He was as
wild as Texas steer. And then Captain Pfeffer
went into the box, Menefee going to second
Fred, however, was not much of an improve
ment over the reiuvenated soufhpaw, and the
Senators found him whenever the ball came
over the plate. This fact had disheartening
effect upon hls coplayers, and they appeared
Mcguire caught both games and he maintained
his holiday record in great style. lie hit safely
times with total Of nine bases, and fielded
his position faultlessy. Little Enrle also showed
corking singles TO his credit in the second game
1t was good natured audience. They guyed
the players at one time and arplauded them the
next minute. The drizzling rain had etfec.
upon their enthusiasm, and while a few wanted
to call down the hoisted umbrellas on the bleach-
ers, the greater majority shouted, keep them
The Coloneis were first at the bat Brown
reached first on Wards failure to handle the ball
cleanly He then stole second, going TO third ON
ORourke's hit to Maui, which the latter failed to
handle Maui duplicated his mispiav by failing
to hold a thrown ball on first from Cartwright
Then he made a wild pitch. While this was GO
ing on two runs were scored. But Maui smiled
nevertheless 1t was broad, holiday smile
Four more runs were made by the visitors in
the fifth on singles by Earle and Twi:chell, a
double by O'Rourke, a triple by Pfeffor, and d
put out Another was scored in the sixth on
Denny's single, his steal and Earle's single. In
the ninth Earle made a single, Brown forced
him at second, but was safe first. He stole
second and came home on Pfeffer's single, who
scored a moment later on Twitchelrs long two
baser
The Senators had rattling good time in their
half Of the first inning. Nine men went up TO
the plate eleven times. Ward reached first on
balls and Joyce followed with a home run hit
over right field fence. Abbey then flew out
Maguire went to first on balls, and Hassamaer
and TeDeau made singles. Cartwright went out
on a fiy to Pfener. Radford was hit and Maui
drew n base on balls, and Ward followed with a
hit. Brown then dropped Joyces fly, but later
captured one off Abbeys bat Eight runs and
kilroy was dead TO the world.
In the second, Captain Pfeffer sent Mcguire
Tebeau, and Cartwright TO first on balls and
Hassamaer and Radford made hits. Three runs
were scored and Fred had very little life left
He pitched the game out in a style that re-
minded one of the days when he and Anson first
graced the diamond.
Tebeau's base on balls, Radford being hit and
two put outs, scored another run in the sixth In
the eighth Tebeaus triple and a put out scored
the last run The crowd then gave parting
cheer and the good work will no doubt continue.
The score:
