GLXEKAIi SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAT
Old Dame Fortune is still bestowing her
smiles on that child of her own rearing,
Jimmv Galrin.
The old sport was
again on deck yes
terday and it was a
question as to
whether or not Mr.
Jouette Meekin or
Jcems should suf
fer a first defeat
this season as a
pitcher. "Why, of
course, the old man
won, and won just
as easily and as
coinfortthly as sit
ting on a chair.
Certainly, lots
of people didn't
expect such a
result, hut be it
known that Jeems
and his slugging colleagues are out to do
business with leaders as well as tail-enders.
The old man was neverin more effective and
deceptive form than he was yesterday and
the Colonels soon discovered that tact
The reprtsentatiies of Bourbondom came
here as the prospective pennant winners.
They were at the top, and that veteran, Jack
Chapman, who has thpm in c' arge.had little
idea that anything in Pittsburg could knock
them off their perdu But old "Pappy"
did it; the hero of a thousand battles dragged
them down a notch and placed his own j-als
a notch higher.
Lots of Good STeatnre.
There were so many attractive features
connected with the game that 3,800 people
paid to see the contest. That is, indeed, a
great Monday's crowd, and they saw some
great ball plavins,-. For once the Louisville
representatives found that they "had fallen
amonj some terv tough people, and that
there were no Chicago crowds to help them
out. Mr. Meekin probablv knew as much
about it as anj body else, because, despite
his reputation of terrorism, the local slug
gers started in from the first and touched
him up to the Queen's taste. He'll not for
get Elmer Smith. The latter fared Jouette
five time, and made two triples and two
singles. That was enough to give any young
man a fright.
But, though beater, the Lonisvilles are a
good team. They plaved well, except Pred
Pieffer, who was" a little oft But he still
h."s his old dash, and doubtless -will let the
local cranks know that he is in the arena be
fore he leaves town. To be sure, there were
hundreds glad to ;ee Tom Brown, Billy
ICuelrie and Pete Browning again. Poor
Pup didn't get a hit, but he tried awfully
hard; so hard that if Miller hadn't made a
phenomenal catch in the eighth innincPete
would have had a thrce-bagecr. But he
stated lat evening that his lamps would be
all right to-day.
Killy Ivnehn Was Therw.
Ksehne was the only one of the visitors
who could to any material extent find Old
Spon's measure, aud when "Little "Willy"
nude his "driesocker" the good-natured
crowd enjoyed it, because it pleased "Willy
and didn't do -ery much harm.
Veteran Chapman has a good team, and
their onlv fault yesterday was thev couldn't
hit GaH in safely. They banged the ball
out.but fielders were almost always waiting
for it. Jeems was well supported, and the
six errors recorded against his colleagues
didn't amount to much. The outficldiug
was good.
Meekin was well supported, with the ex
ception of two of Piefftr's mistakes. "Weaver
caught well, and is apparently a good man.
But the visitois were outplayed, aud that is
whv they were beaten.
In the lirst inning, after Miller had
knocked out a nice fly, which Brown caught,
ISierbaner rapped out a hot ono down the
right loul line for three bases. Smith nest
loomed up w ith another three-bagger Into
rirht center, and linallv scored on a wild
throw by Pfeflcr. The run, however, tnrne,d
out to be an earned one, as Eecklov made a
splendid single hit which would have
brought SinitU home.
In the next Inning Coikhill led off and
struck out. Then Mack was tin own out at
first. I'fefier to MeeLin. This If oked gloomy,
but Ualvin got his base on balls and i-o did
Millet, and Mt.el.iii was -very wcaiy looking,
lnttecd. Then Bierbaner banged the ball
into emter field lor a bao and Gili:i
scoied. smith followed suit and Miller
scored and then Fan ell struck out.
A Tory Lively Inning.
The fourth inning came round and bofore
it closed the visitors know that j esterdav
didn't amount to much for them. Bierbaner
led off and got his baso on balls Tint
wasn't a surprise, but when Elmer Smith
came ngain w ith a three-bagger, everybody
laughed loud or yelled. Bierbaner tallied.
Tan-ell's fly was caught bv Jennings and
Bccl.Iej knocked a long fly to Seerv, Smith
scoring on the throw in. PfetTer tumbled
Sl.ugarf:, grounder and tho latter got to first
all rynt. Top Coik.iill made u capital two
b icer to light nnd shugart scored, l'feffer
aUo rumbled Mack's grounder and Corkhill
scoied, making Jour runs Joi the inning.
In the fifth tno vis.toisgotaiunand wore
giaa oi it ivier leached Hist becau

Z?,S.?" ;J"H. 1 MS:
bauei. Meckin and Bioun each sent out
flics tint a eie enuglit bv Miugart and
Coikhill icspectiely. I'fefierbiouglit iu the
lun by a good tnc-iustr to nlit In the
next inniig Browning got to first on a
muffed fly by Miugait and alter the next
two men were out, B lly Kuehne thumped
the ball over Millet's head lor throe b igs.
Evcrj bod shouted, "Well done, i illy." The
lun bcoiou, anil that onlj made the visitois
two, and hence the good nature of the
ciowd. The auiteusi-coiedno more.
The loc-.l slugeis made ono mote in tho
ft-, enth and it was auis.tically done, een
though it v.as not an earned ran. Bccklcy
got his base on balls :.nd 5.tLle second beau-titu!!-,.

CorkhiH'i long fly to becry allowed him to
