Field Notes from all Points.

Buschong has been released from the Buff
| faloes to play with the Uticas.
A green ballast R. B. signifies mum
Der of times reached first base.
Their defeated rivals have dubbed the
Manchesters I" the kicking nine"
The Chicagos play in Boston this week
and the Milwaukees in Providence.
And now Toledo has it. Efforts are being
made to organize a professional nine there
The Providence nine have the honor to bt
| the first club that ever batted Bond out Of
| his position.
The spontaneous combustion among the
International clubs will begin directly after
the fourth of July.
The Harvards and Manchesters played the
most remarkable game on record last year
twenty-four innings without making run.
Base-ballers are philosophers in Chicago.
They just adapt themselves to circumstances,
and enjoy every game, no difference who
wins.
Dan Morgan has joined the Milwaukees,
and takes Redmond's place at short field.
Redmond has played very unfortunately this
season.
When a man on long hit runs to the
home plate, or beyond third base on the hit,
and is put out, he is entitled to the record of
three-base hit.
The Buffalo papers are beginning to howl.
The defeats of their club by the Rochesters
reminds the reporters that there are
"crooks " on the nine.
The distance from the front line of the
pitchers position to the home plate is seventy
six feet four lnches-the same distance as
that of last years diamonds.
Each club plays twelve league games with
each other league club during the season, or
sixty altogether. That makes one hundred
and eighty league games in all.
A correspondence of the New York Mercury,
from Lynn, says that Aliens playing on the
third base in both the Bufalo-Live Oak
games was the finest ever seen In that city.
The announcement that Bradley had at
last got to Milwaukee, and would pitch for
the club this week, seems premature. Brad
is becoming as much of a bore as Cummings.
Householder has secured his release from
the Fries, and has Joined the Auburns. Delhi
man has also been released, and it is said that
the club will be disorganized for want of pnb-
lie support.
The Auburns mediate a five weeks tour,
and are anxious to have young Lancaster join
them. Little Simpsons pitching has aston
ished the eastern folks to such an extent that
half a dozen clubs are after him.
The Cincinnati boys ought to get out show
window pictures. How would the ''Only
Pike" sound, or the Last of the M'Veys,"
"Only- One-Left Jones, The Original Move
Up joe Isolated Jim Whlte?" etc.
Boston Commercial Advertiser: Leonard,
of the Boston nine, has been too i'll of late to
play with his accustomed skill; but his health
is rapidly improving, and ne will go into the
rext game in better condition than lie
has enjoyed for fortnight past.
Players, BelIefontaine, Ohio, ask: "Can
YOU not give more definite idea of how far
Pike knocked that ball in Tuesdays Cincln-
natl Chicago game? To parties acquainted
with your grounds the distance named in
yesterday paper would be sufficient, but as
we are not wetwould like to know something
TAbout two hundred yards, or an eighth of
mile.-Ed. Enq.l
Chicago Tribune: Utica is going through
the first year of professional baseball. A
victory suggests the necessity to DIR. Grey, of
the State lunatic asylum, Of increasing his
accommodations, and defeats require doub-
ling of police force along the Mohawk banks
and the canal to prevent suicides. Dissen-
sions in the nine, fostered by harsh criticisms
by the board of directors, threaten to break
up the club. Well-authenticated rumor says
that some of the nine, tired of unjust FAULT
finding, ask for release. Alcott and Purcell
are the antagonistic rallying cries.
Baseball" Delaware, Ohio, inquiries;
