Louisville March 2i.-Bill Dahen and his
players never had a chance to play at
Eclipse Park with the Colonies here to-day.
This morning and afternoon rain fell con-
tinually until about o'clock. when it
turned to snow. There does not appear to
be a chance Of playing a game here.
Dahen tried to get into communication
with the local secretary of the Young
Mems christian Association. with a view
of having the players work out in its
gymnasium for couple of days. The
workout Yesterday IN pa .liou at the
Kentucky state Fair Grounds did not do

in baseball they have never seen any such
weather in the South at this time Of year.
