On June 25, 1889, just s7 years ago. the fans Of the Kentucky metropolis broke put an. wild enthusiasaa, for the Col eneIs on that day defeated the St. Louis club by a score Of to 3. and thus put an end to the worst losing streak the game has ever known.
 Up to the time Of the victory over St. Louis, the Colonels had lost 26 games-in a row. and the few wavering supporters of the club were on the Verge of abandoning all hope that the team would ever win a game,
