MANY OF the wellpitched games in which

Pittsburgh's Record
review Of Pittsburgh's losing streak is
OF great interest at this time

nent politician in Pittsburgh. won a pitch
ing duel from the famous John Clarkson. of

and the Pirates won, to 3.
The following day Boston defeated the
Pirates and started them off on n losing
streak, which was not broken until August
IL, when Bill Phillips. making his debut
with Pittsburgh, defeated Chicago, 6 to 4,
holding Anson's sluggers to five hits This
losing streak was of six games
Chicago started Pittsburgh on It's way TO
a National League record the next day and
20 consecutive games were lost. On Sep
tember Henderson, recruit pitcher, won
from Cleveland at Pittsburgh by the score
OF to 2. This gave the Pirates one victory
In 81 games played. They lost the next six
games, making two victories out Of 3S
games played, which is the greatest losing
streak in the history of the game.
Louisville started it's famous losing streak
at home on May 90 and lost 25 games in n
row before Ramsey defeated the Browns.
The Colonels won again on June %, when
Ewing won n to victory over Kansas

fore made a wild pitch in the ninth inning
of the last game of the season, permitting
the Athletics to win the first pennant ever
next three games but had established a
mark OF only two victories in 35 games
which is the second longest losing streak
in the history of baseball.
Cleveland in 1899 had n greater number
of long losing streaks than any other team
up to that period or since, but the Spiders
always managed to win two or three games
in row after long string Of defeats,
which enabled them to keep a trihe above
the marks made by Louisville and Pitts
burgh
The miserable showing Of Cleveland in
1899 was due to the fact that the powerful
team of 1898 was transferred to St Louis.
This move killed the National League in
Cleveland, as the fans resented the trans
fer of Hedrcls. Burkett, Young, Mexican,
Wallace Criger and other stars of that
famous team.

the Louisville defeats were 25 In succession
uhich is the worlds record.
The impression Ia general that Louisville

..aroh of the back files reveals the fact
,bat the total was only 25. Just how this
mistake came to be recorded upon the rec

lost 80 games, while today the Mackmen
have 10 won and 80 lost With only 55
more games on the schedule, it would be
necessary for the Mackmen to lose all but
one TO equal the 134-game defeat, the rec
ord now held by Cleveland.
Macks Outhit Foe
The most remarkable part OF the pres.
snt losing streak of the Athletics lies In the
fact that the Mackmen have outhit and out
helded their opponents In many of the
ries but still they continue to lose. At
times the pitching has been brilliant, but
the breaks would not go to Comics band
and close games have been dropped day
