A Big Victory for the Alta mites Over tho
Baltimore Mosquitoes.

A Big Victory for the Atlantic Over tho
Baltimore Mosquitoes.
The professional base ball season In this vicinity
was inaugurated on the Union Grounds, Brooklyn,
f. D., Yesterday afternoon, the contestants being
the Baltimore nine tMosquitoes) aud the Atlantics.
The lore part OF the day was so decidedly unpro-
pitious for the sport that few people thought the
game would be played, consequently not more
than 400 assembled within the enclosure. The
grounds looked as beautiful as ever ana, save that
they were little too soft, were IN good condition.
The game opened with the Atlantics at the bat
and they were quickly disposed OF for blank
Dehlman being the only ore to make q clean base
hit. Williams led or IOr the BaltimOreanS and got
to first on an error by Pearce and home on two
base hit by Dean. In the second inning Chapman
started the Brooklyn boys on streak OF batting.
and, aided by several errors on the part OF the
Mosquitoes they rOied up ten runs before the
third hand could be disposed or. 1t Is but justice
to Brainard to add that not one Of THESE ten runs
was earned.
The remainder OF the story is quickly told. The
AtlanticS went on ptllng up the runs and
playing such sharp nedIng game as TO
preclude the possibility OF tue visitors get
exceedingly effective IN MS delivery the Baltimore
boys getting but four first base hits of his pitching
Brainard pitched well, out he was Wretcheuy sup
ported ~ the field. Sweasey, who has q very sore
nand, played so poorly that the conclusion Of the
fourth inning he went to right held Dean going to
second and Belaski TO centre field. the best play
was shown by Williams, Gould and Dean, OF the Nos
qultoes anu Pearce, Ferguson, Farrow and Bond, OF
the Atlantlcs.
To-day the baltimore boys try their hand with
the Mutuals whom they intend to defeat In hand
some style-at least so they say.
Appended Is the score Of yesterdays contest -
