Louisville Proves Right to
Title of the Big Minor
Leagues.
HOW THEY FINISHED.

BALTIMORE, Oct 1S.-Louisville won
the pOst-season junior title series from
Baltimore, five games to three, by its vic,
tory yesterday over the international
League champions. The Orioles re1gneu
to favorites at the start of the series,
but throughout the contests have been
outPlayed In every department. or the
game by the American Association leau-
ers. The Kentuckians won in spite Oh a
wObbly pitching staff and took the de-
Gliding games in the home of the enemy
in face of very bad umpiring and the
unmerciful raZZing of hostile fans. All In
all the downfall of the noted Baltimore
club, which ran away with the lnterna-
t1onal League flag, was distinct surprise
and in accomplishing the feat the
Colonies showed the East that there is
some baseball in the Middle West. The
series was sweet revenge for the defeat
of ST. Paul last year and a justification
of the claim that the American Associa-
ton is faster than the International.
The better club won in spite of the
fact that the Orioles boast of seven
players for which big league clubs offer
an aggregate of 100000. The victory Is
especially sweet because of the chesty
attitude Of Jack Dunn's club and the
rabid rooters of the Oyster city. The
staff of pitchers that terrorized every
club IN the International circuit had no
terrors for the Colonel sluggers and Jack
Oukeu WAS the only lWlFlcr VIM GONlu
win game for the Fasteners. He won
every game he pitched until his final
Effort yesterday and then with the series
hanging on his ability to turn back Nc
Carthys men he was knocked out OF the
box by the savage attack OF the a. A.
pennant winners. Jay kirke put the
finishing touches to Ogden's downfall by
soaking a hon. run over tho left field
wall 1t was an awful cOme-down for
the pitcher who won 81 games this season
and 1t was a terrible blow to the club
behind him.
In the deciding game yesterday San
ders pitched shut-out ball until the sixth
inning Then with the Kentucky outfit
leading by the op-heavy count Of IL TO
Roy was hit on the pitching hand by a
drive through the box He was undecided
for a time whether he would go on, but
finally decided to stick it out. Two runs
filtered across the rubber in this inntng
In the eighth Sanders allowed two sin
giles, a triple and a walk which were
good for the last three runs Of the
Orioles That was all for the great and
only Baltimore club and the Colonies
with their big lead and the series victory
In sight had their big moment and
laughed at the efforts of the men of Dunn
Louisville scored its huge total of II
by prolonged and steady mauling Of the
pill. Fifteen hits were collected during
the day including a home run by Jay
Kirke who all through the series far
over Swallowed the work Of his rival Jake
Bentley. Acosta cracked out a solid
triple and Herzog and Shepner banged
two baggers.
The Colonies are going home a tickled
ball team. Much bad blood has existed
during the series because of various cir
cumstances that have arisen and the mem
bers Of the club feel pretty good over this
fact that they went into the foes OWL
back yard with the games standing even
and took three out Of four contests played
In order to wear the crown of the minul
leagues. 1t was indeed a triumph for
Louisville and its manager Joe Mccarthy
as well as a vindicatiOn of the claim c!
the West that the Association is stronger
than the International League.
