The Louisville Colonels drop a game to Brooklyn because they have run out of baseballs. The home team is responsible for supplying ballsâ but the game begins with just three baseballs on handâ two of them practice balls borrowed from Brooklyn. By the 3rd inningâ the balls are worn out and a messenger sent for new ones does not arrive back in time. Louisville is forced to forfeit the game.
