This is what the Courier Journal said OF
Crooks and Rogers debut in Louisville
ture Of the game was the great work Of
Crooks and Rogers, who were secured from
| Washington in exchange for O'Brien. If
yesterdays work was criterion, the Sen
ators were victims of sort of gold-brick
| swindle in accepting O'Brien for these two
eycellentplayers. Besides, Washington gave
Louisville 81 900 to boot which rubs in the
misery. Crooks had thirteen chances at sec
ond, and his only error was on a ball which
went at him like a shot from a cannon
Some of his plays bordered on the mar
velous. O'Brien never played such game
as Crooks put Up yesterday. The only
Colonies was bad throw by Cunningham,
who played shortstop for the first time in
his life. Otherwise the work of the home
team was perfect, while Bannon, Boston's
right fielder, had an off day, and could rot
have caught an apple-dunApling in bas-
ket."
