In San Francisco

Out to San Francisco by train went nine limber gentlemen from Louisville, Ky., winners of the American Association baseball championship, to play the San Francisco "Seals," who had taken the pennant in the Pacific Coast League. They played eight games; each won four; then came the afternoon that would decide everything. The "Colonels" from Louisville stiffened their backbones and bashed out four runs in the first inning. It looked as if they had won. For an inning they were lazy; then the "Seals" knocked two of their pitchers out of the box to win the game 9-8, the series 5-4.

Louisville was also beaten in the "Little World Series" by Baltimore, 5 games to 3 (TIME, Oct. 19) .
