LOUISVILLE, Ky, April II--WaSh-
ington was shut out here today by
Louisville, by to O.
Largely because the major league
candidates made a remarkable assert
ment OF dumb plays. coupled with an
explosion by Gates I'm the eighth inning.
In every department OF baseball Wash
ington was all to the ypsilanti. and its
work both on offense and defense was
about as effective as filming a trust.
The base running was strongly sugges-
tive Of the progress OF a bunch OF
feeble minded out for an airing. while
the manipulation of the ball when the
other fellows were on bases was a
sadsome sight to see.
Halla, the minor pitcher kept the big
league sluggers under his thumb and
only in one inning, the ninth, were
they able to get all of two hits in the
same session. and the good effects Of
that effort were dissipated by the Huels-
manesque work on the bags of Ganley
and Pickering
Gehring in Box.
Gehring pitched the first five rounds
for Washington and did well, allowing
but two hits and shutting out Louis
vile up to the time he retired There
were six Washington pitchers warming
up in right field, and Manager Cantillon
selected probably the worst Of the lot
as far as today's form was concerned,
when he nominated Gates to finish the
contention. Gates was weak and wild
and started the sixth and seventh inn
ings with passes, Louisville getting a
run on the pass presented in the
seventh.
This ballOOning made Santos-Dumont
look like the Searching McGinty. A
double. a triple, and two singles after
two were out lost Washington the game
and may have lost Gates his berth with
the club. for the manager man is mighty
peevish tonight. a sample Of Washing
tons tarlike briiliancy was furnished
in the third inning, although it cost
nothing
With Hughes mot Tom) on second.
Perrine hit to Mcbride and Hughes was
caught up the line between second and
third. Instead of throwing the ball
10 Shipke at once so all the play would
be toward second in case of an error
and Hughes saving his life, Mcbride
held 10 the sphere until Hughes was
nearly at third, then threw through
ShipNe's outstretched hands onto that
devoted youths nose. and Hughes was
safe at third, Perrine getting second in
the mixup- Can you beat that?
Three-Base Single.
In the eighth inning. with two out.
Sullivan doubled. Burke singled. scor-
Ing Sullivan. Ganley loaIgd on the
2
low, and Burke took three bases on
are single. Wouldn't that make a pro-
i-oitionist quit the party? woodrufy
s~ored Burke with n single. and there
tpu have an account of the two runs
ID the eighth. Quinlan followed Wood
rUif with another single. but Hughes
flied TO Mcbride. retiring the side.
In the seventh Woodruff walked, mov-
ed up on QuinIan's sacrifice, and tailed
on Hughes safe swat.
Make Brilliant Start.
Washington started the ninth inning
well Ollie Pickering made a nit, which
is fifteen straight games for a total
of twenty-One hits for the veteran. Gan
ley singled to right, and was caught
In his own favorite tran. when
Harley threw to first instead of 10
second. Ganley had overrun the bag
to draw the throw to second, and when
1t went behind him ne made the fatal
mistake Of stopping to consider what he
should do, instead OF keeping on TO the
middle station Pickering got around
TO third, but refused to get more thar
three feet off the bag while Ganley
was being bounded to his doom. Dele,
hanty was an easy out, Halla to first
and Milan's death was equally pain
less, second &c first.
Washington is scheduled to play here
