Rain prevented the Senators and Colonels
playing ball Saturday, but the two teams
came together in Louisville yesterday, and
the meeting was most disastrous TO our rep
resentatives, both contests being won by
the kentuckians, the first hy the score of
s to and the second by the score of I to B.
Bert Cunningham was on the rubber for
Louisville in the first game, and he simply
toyed with the Senators. but three safe hits
being made off of his delivery, and two Of
these went to the credit cf Left fielder
O'Brien. Gus weighing opposed him, and
his delivery was found easy of solution, the
ball being batted very hard throughout the
game, doubles, triples and home run
playing important parts in the score. Wey
hing's support was much better than Cum
ninghams, but one error being charged
against the Washingtons, while three mis-
plays were made by the Colonies.
The Senators only run was chased across
the plate in the seventh inning. O'Trien nit
safely and reached second on Leach's error
of Athertons infield hit. Bonners sacrifice
hit scored O'Brien. This was the only time
the Senator's coupled up more than one hit
in an inning, it being a one-two-three and
out walk to the plate in their other turns
at the bat. The fielding of OBrien and
SIagle was the sensation of the first game.
Following is the score of the first game
