that it will have inclosed grounds and good
team this year. Tie indianapolis will open the

The Indianapolis Stntt,.aE says that Callahan,
Of the Aiaskas OF New York, has signed with
the Columbus Buckeyes, and that row will
likely grow out of it, tue A1askas being opposed
to his leaving them. Il they complain, it will
make the first case for the international Asso-
citation Judiciary Committee to sit on. They
are Messrs. Mcknight, Rankin, Pond, Stceman,
aud Waite. BY the way, what club does the
last-named represent!
The Erie Club, of Erie, Pa, announce the fol-
lowing team ,Ta1ley, Pnillip ps, Fisher, Curry,
Knight, pfeffer, Smiley, Ressler, Heller, and
Thompson. These are the relics OF the Actives
some from Fittsburg: It is claimed that Knight
normerly pitcher Of the Athletics) is revolver
in Joining this Club, he. being under contract to
the Lowclls. a correspondent, writing from
Lowell to the Clipper. does not regret the loss of
the deserter, saying that Grit1n is better play
er in the position
The Providence Dispatch throws up both
hands in despair, and announces that the team
which it expected has been carte0 of to Auburn.
It will be as follows: Keenan, C.. Critchlcy, p. !;
Ahadic, b.; Burns. 8 b.; Warren, S. s.; Macul-
lar, !. T.; Barry, C: t.; Thomas, r. T.; aud
Arnold, manager and substitute. The interest
in tue game IN the two cities is shown in the
fact that Auburn population, q, ,0o0) subscribed
$4,000 for q good nine, While Providence (pop,1-
MtIon, 70000) couldn't raise $500 after months
ofdrumning, The latter city is now promised
cheap country nine By Gen. Dennis. It's all
that they deserve
Secretary Young makes the following League
and League Alliance engagements: That Ryan
has been released by Louisville and Julian by
Indianapolis; that Minneapolis has engaged }.
NJ. Bennett and Thomas Birmingham, and that
the Mutuals, OF JanesTlle, Wis, have contracted
with F: =, Bliss, G. n: Chandler, John Nor
dell, and F. 5. Smith. The engagement Of
Bliss, who caught for the Milwaukee Club last
year, seems wise move. He will very likely
be needed to help Bushong, whose record with
the Athletic Club was that, while playing fur
knight, he made eighteen errors and one clean
hit il fire games 1t appears from Philadelphia
that the Athletics have contracted with Eggler,
RYAN, and Shetzline, which is understood to be
the '' strengthening which Aercu1y and Item
demanded.
The Canadian Association has made very
proper distinction and offered championship
and amateur. There are only two OF the former
class in the Dominion. One Of these, the Ma
pie Leafs, of Guelph, opened the season last
Monday, defeating an amateanr nine By Il to !.
The other professional team seems to be in
trouble about its grounds, Judging from the fol-
lowing dispatch from London 10 Toronto pa
per: 1.-THE Tecumseh Baseball Club being
prevented from using any part OF the public
property in tho city limits for ball purposes,
haze secured grounds in Kensington. The OPP
croble feeling" 4 letter to TnE TRIBUNE
from London, saws that the new grounds are
about the same distance from the centre OF The
city as the old ones. The Hartfords are e1-
pected for three games, May 8, T. and 5. -.
The newiashioned Athletics opened their
ground and their season e. April II, III, In game
was about what might have been expected: The
Athletics made 10 base hits and II runs, while
the Jersey college boys, without aplayer who
had ever been heard ot before, Gutied out rs
base hits aud a runs. The Athletics earned no
to prove that the Renubltc was right in saying
that 'sthe Athletic nine is just simply perfect"
It seems pity that the team which was to break
up the League and run the game at Its own ]
backiall before # had even produced crack in
said League. From the Republic it appears that
the new catcher Of the Athletics,
has proved failure, and that McGinley will
replace him. The latter caught for Weaver in
the 2+to-n game. By the way, considering the
ease with which the college boys batted 26 hits
off Weaver, it seems particularly lucky thnt the
Athletics succeeded In getting that pitcher for
1875.
