Going After Batted Balls.
Louisville, May 9.-Because of their i'll
difference and refusal to go after fly balls,
and grounders in Thursdays game, the
Louisville players yesterday found fine
of $50 each chalked up against them by
order of the board of directors. who held a
special meeting for that purpose.
The new manager, william McGunnigle,
is expected this afternoon, and will take
immediate charge. The fine and the def
mite knowledge that a manager will be
here seemed to have had the desired ef-
feet, as the home team played a magnifi-
cent game, giving Smith almost perfect
support They also tried hard to bat, and
did hit every time, not man fouling or
striking out, but the hits went straight
at a fielder. The work yesterday shows
that McGunnigle will find the nucleus of a
good team.

games and it is refreshing to see the earn

credit to professionals.
