That the LOuiSvilieS were able, after be-
ing whipped by the Chicagos in the worst
looking score of the year. to turn around
the next day and wallop the Chicagos. has
prompted the base ball editor of the Chi
cago Post to the following:
Some misguided cranks had an idea. after
the awful batting matinee of Tuesday, that
the Colts would rally brace up and play
the hottest ball that ever came down the
pike. They were deceived. The gang
couldn't rally at a barbecue, couldn't brace
up falling scantling, couldn't play mar
bles. They swat up little flies with the
bases full and three and none called: they
don't coach loud enough to be heard ia the
front row. and they are. altogether and
specifically, dead to the world. Thornton
got out into that left field sun again, too,
and how the bingles did tumble safe all
around himi
1t was especially tough to have Chick
Fraser win the game. for he was in the
batting massacre of the day before and
was walloped until he thought himself on
the road to prosperity in a patrol wagon.
Arthur Irwin and his Toronto team are
no longer the laughing stock Of the Eastern
League. They have .gallantly Tough. their

they will win the Eastern League pernant

as the Canadian League representative in
that city has surrendered it's franchise.
The Toronto club Is unfortunately a farm.
Its team contains many players who really
belong to the Washington club, but have
been released to the Toronto club as
blind. One Of the owners of the Washing
ton club is authority for this statement
This was done to comply with The terms

Eastern League. No club can buy Lush

him on the farm with q view Of recalling
him next season. The strings to the Wash
i ington farm hands at Toronto will rot be
pulled until the close of the season. Hence

ganization in Irwin's team on that score
| The Wasners showed extraordinary cour-
age in putting team in the Canadian cap

scored by the Pittsburg club in 1896. They
gamely stood their losses during the early
