"West Baden Sprudels Vanquish Cubs - In One-Sided Affair 10 to 0 - Whitewash Neatly Administered. - Wow! Those pill peltering Sprudels from West Baden bore down upon our city last Sunday and engaged in a little fracas with the Louisville Cubs at Springbank Park, and succeeded in administering a neat coat of kalomine by the one-sided score of 10 to 0. Steel Arm John was working like a steam derrick, letting the Cubs down with three measly hits, and our home boys had about as much chance as a mere man at a suffragette meeting, Burdette handed out a varied assortment of benders, the Sprudels getting only seven hits off his offerings, but received punk support. Numerous unneccessary errors that were enough to discourage anybody, were made behind him, Rodgers being the chief offender."
