On a Sunday game today in Cincinnati, the Atlantic club left their hitting ability back at the boardinghouse, as the Reds completely dominated them by a final score of 9-0. The club was held to just two hits by Bill Sweeney of Cincinnati, and this dropped Brooklyn to 0-4 on the season against them. The only bright spot on the game was the fact that Tug Wilson, usually the club’s first baseman, filled in serviceably in center field. However, his replacement at first base, Charlie Householder, went 0 for 3 with an error, so they still missed the play of Walker. On this day, though, no one player could have turned this defeat into victory.
