Turned the Tables When the Senator's
Ie0Af Exnecfed 1t.


The game Of base ball yesterday after
room at National Park between the WASH
ington and Louisville clubs was a sad, sad
blow to the enthusiastic fans, for their
ardor was suddenly and effectually chilled
when the tables were turned. so to speak.
On the home team. During tho first two
innings matters were awfully easy for
Washington and equally hard for Louis
Vile. In fact. the spectators settled back.
rather disappointed at the prospect Of
crushing walkover at the expense Of the
Colonels.
But it was not to be. McGunnigle's men
pulled together toward the close, made a
Garrison finish, overcame big lead and

however, did not play. but kept tab on the
turnstile. There were several new faces
noted among the visitors, among them
being AL. johnson, the captain and second
baseman of the Augusta, Me-, club, who
was signed by Louisville yesterday. Wrig-
ley covered second for Washington, and
although guilty of one error accepted the
other nine chances that passed his way
in good style.
Washington took the initiative in the
matter of run getting in the first inning.
Lush tapped one Of Mr.. Herman's curves
for hit. but the next two batters. De
Mcntreville and Setback. proved easy outs
Mcclure, Smith, Wrigley and Brown, how
ever, each sent out a hit, and when the
inning was ended the record was four
runs and five hits. Another run was
scored in the second by means of q base

Louisville. in the third, yawned and
stretched little. Herman reached first on
an error by DeMontreville Dexter hit for
a base, and McCreary followed with a
three-bagger scoring two runs. The Colo
nels passed every deal thereafter until the
seventh. when Clingman propelled the ball
into the right-field bleachers and made the
circuit at his leisure. 1t was in the eighth,
though, that the men from Kentucky
waxed unduly familiar with the delivery of

after an absence of three years and his
work was faultless. The only striking
feature OF the game was the appeaca Of
Manager McGunnigle in uniform. While

spectators. The score:
