is in the first division as a result of win
ming two games from Cleveland today.
Swain had practically lost the first when
Mercer went in the box in the ninth in
ming and won out. In this game O'Con-
nors and Child's hands were slightly in
jured and their positions were filled by
other players. Tebeau was put on the
bench for disputing decision.

Senators to 0. At the beginning of the
nth inning with two men out McKean
claimed that he was hit by pitched ball.

Baltimore, September S.-The Cham
pions took the first of the series from the
Louisvilles in dull and uninteresting

pitching was brilliant, but for Stencils
error in allowing Clingman's grounder
to go through him the Colonels would
have been shut out. Attendance 1878,
