The bunch from the Blue Grass belt
got together yesterday afternoon and
caused the decidedly small push of fans
at National Park to shiver at the sight
Of the defeat of the local team
The game WAS won by Nick Altrock,
the new acquisition of the visitors, and
he showed that he is phenom, with a
capital p He made q good record.
and he was applauded enthusiastically by
the alleged crowd present. which appre-
ciated his eleverness. He allowed but
eight hits to be made off his devious de-
livery and he struck out two men. He
gave one base on balls, made two hits
stole one base, made six assists and no
errors.
His fielding will be seen TO be equal to
his power of elbow and wrist. and rne
opinion was freely expressed among
those who understand the game best that
he is one of the coming pitchers Of the
big league. He does not rattle a little
bit. and when the -'rooters" found they
could do nothing with him on that score.
they called that part of their game and
settled down 10 admire his work.
Dineen was in the box for the local
team. but he was not as effective as
usual His work lacked spice and there
was no winning ball about his way of
harding himself. Every once in a while
he pulled himself up into a hard knot
and made the Colonels look like thirty
cC-.ts in the Walderf-Astoria. but the in
tervals were sporadic and like unto the
v.s.ts of angels bright and fair
The feature OF the game was in the
ninth inning, when, with one man out,
Alirock on third and Clarke on first,
Hoy sacrificed, advancing the latter 10
