SPECIAL TO The Tinlcs.l

Louisville, Ky, July THE Senators
have been playing in the hardest kind OF
luck Of late in the way OF oStponed games
but after having 10 lay off in Philadelphia
they thought that things would be more
favorable when they struck The West.
Judge Of their disappointment, therefore
when the two games which they were
10 have played here to-day had TO be post
poned, owing TO the wet grounds.
The Washington fans had fully expected
that Wagners aggregation of ball tossers
would have an easy thing of it with the
locals and would thus be enabled to cap
ture two games in one day and take another
jump in the direction of the New Yorks.
The Senators and Colonels VIII
play two games tomorrow afternoon.
The Senators are in the pink Of condition
and VIII put up d great game. Maui and
Mercer VIII be put in TO pitch tomorrow
afternoon, and it is dollars to plugged
coppars that the Senators viii win the
game.
DR.. Stucky, president OF the Louisville
club, is very indignant over story in the
Cincinnati papers that this city will soon
retire from the league. He thinksthe story
was inspired by Mr. Brush, whom he
roasts TO turn. saidhe:
There is not an iota OF truth in the
publication. No doubt, Mr.. Brush, who
runs the Cincinnati club on speculation,
would like TO reach out and Secure the
Louisville franchise for Indianapolis, and
thus run two clubs, but if he waits until
Louisville steps down aud out he viii
have a weary time OF it,
The Louisville club stands on an equal
footing with any club in the league, and as
long as we fulfill our Obligations it is none
Of Mr.. Brush's business what we do. We
are not in the league on a speculation.
We run our own grounds and stands and
have never failed to make good all our
contracts.
SIMPLE PROPOSITION.
NOW, about that $4,000 which we
borrowed from the league-it was a sim
pie business proposition. Last season our
business was bad. We needed money TO
pay expenses. The league had a surplus
in the treasury, and was willing to lend
to US on proper security. We borrowed
the money and have since paid So, 100;
the remaining 1900 Will be paid when
il is due"
IF Louisville is such a poor drawing
city" continued the doctor, 1.-The figures
DO not prove it. Thus far this year we
have given the Pittsburg Club 81 roo and
received 81 200 in return; the Cleveland
So, 600, and received at Cleveland only
$240; we gave Washington $3.50 for
two games, and in the three games in
Washington We received only 5000 In
81. Louis on the Fourth we only received
5000 for both games, while on Friday
we received just enough to pay our hotel
BILL"
As for selling players, you can say for
me that the Louisville club is buying, not
selling players. We have refused this week
offers OF So GOO for two players, 50 600
for another and 81 900 for still another.
SO, you see, if we wanted to sell we could
dispose Of four players for SS, 900 and fill
in with cheap players. But we are not
going TO do this
NOT THROUGH BUYING.
1--WE have expended twice as much money
as any other League club for players this
season, and are not through buying yet
by any means. We intend to keep on
the team until we have one
that VIII be a winner
THE deal we have received from all the
League umpires, except Emslie and Nc
Donald, has been enough to drive us out of
the League. / have just written to Presi-
dent Young about the matter, and if we
do not receive fair treatment from now on
somsthing viii drop.
If the club is not able to win games on
its merits do not want TO see t1fem win
What ! complain about is the fact that
games which we have won fairly and
