The Bostons will play their first game fn
Cincinnati, July 10th.
The league clubs this year play with what
was last year known as 'ball No. 3"
Fourteen innings, we believe, is the long
est professional game played this season.
The Red Stockings of 1870 did not lose a
game that year. In 1869 they lost quite a
| number.
Sullivan is now the onl lea player who
has made no erro, Tin. oeasun. George
Wright dropped out last week.
Look out for that Milwaukee club this sea-
son often. AS the fellow said about his girl,
''She's young yet and little, but, oh Cod"
Mathews left the Brooklyn nine last week
to join the Worcesters. In the first game he
pitched for the Worcesters they were defeated
to 2.
The unmarried men of the Cincinnati club
are Sullivan, Gerhardt, Kelly, Mitchell and
Jones. Kelly will join the Benedicts proba-
bly, next month.
Challenged parties under a general code
have the right to name the time and place.
We suppose it applies to amateur baseball
clubs, though there be no established rules
about it.
At Hickey's: Chicagos, 500; Indianapo-
Lis, $16; Cincinnatis, $15; MIlwaukees, $40;
Hornells, so; Crickets, $40. In the combi-
nation the Chicagos, CincinDatis and Crickefs
are favorites.
The Clncinnatis of 1875 played their first
game on the Ludlow grounds with the Chi
cago White Stockings, Golden pitching, Scott
Hastings catching, and Devlin at first base,
and defeated them, IL to 6.
Only ten men of the Cincinnati club-the
regular nine and Mitchell-went to Milwau-
kee. No manager is needed. This is the ad
vantage of having club of ball players ev-
cry one of whom can be implicitly intrusted
Captain M'Vey will attend to the financial
affairs of the club on their trips.
Chattanooga Dispatch, 18th: The Tennes-
see Rangers, a crack colored baseball club of
this city that has been defeating every club
they have met this season, went down to
Dalton yesterday and played game with
the Wildcats, of that place. A dispatch re-
ceived from Captain S. B. Boise says the
Chattanoogans were victorious by score of
25 to 3. The Rangers expect to 60 up to
East Tennessee soon, and teach the boys in
that portion of the country also how to play
ball.
New York World: The contests in the
league arena, since the opening of the sea-
son, have been more interesting than 1t was
expected they would be, two of the new mines
of 1873 turning out to be far stronger than
was generally anticipated. Two surprise
parties have occurred in the west, the one
being the result of the brilliant success of the
Cincinnati nine over Hurlbut's strong Chica-
go team, and the other the defeat of the new
Indianapolis nine by the Chicago White
Stockings. The Cincinnati battery, con-
trolled by the intelligent White brothers.
has, thus far, proved very damaging to Gin
cinnatis adversaries from Milwaukee and
Chicago, and if the Reds can pass through
Chicago and Indianapolis unscathed, prior to
their coming eastward to encounter the Bos-
ton and Providence batteries some very sharp
fighting may be looked for in the east this
coming June. For the first time since the
Cincinnati club has been organized it hae
taken the lead in the race for the leagus
pennant. and the fact is rejoicing the officials
of the club and the good people of the Queen
City greatly. Three victories In succession
over Ferguson's strong team is something to
boast Of. Here in the east the Bostons are
beginning to assert their right to lead the
van, despite the obstruction they have found
in their way at Providence. The latter nine,
by the way, is coming out strong, and their
Allison Nichols battery is likely to give the
champions trouble yet to retain that pennant.
1t Is fortunate for the league club treasures
