THE UMPIRE WINS FOR BOSTON
Boston, May 22.-The seventh game be-
tween the Boston and Providence clubs was
played this afternoon, resulting in favor of
the Bostons. Cary was jumped upon at the
sprained ankle, and Hines was substituted for
him at short stop. Thurman was put down in
center field in place of Hines and Brown on
first. Nicholas pitched, Cary being laid up
with sore arm, and among those disparage-
ments, numerous errors and fearful decisions
Of the umpire, the, game was lost to Provi-
dence. Higham and Thurman made terrible
errors, and though Providence out-batted
Boston, they were unable to keep up with
their opponents until the last inning. Bad
decisions before this had been made by the
umpire, and now, when victory perched en-
the Providence banner, the game was thrown
by the umpire, and with but only two runs to
coming in, when a Providence man wrong

PRovIDENCEs SIDE OF THEIR DEFEAT.
The Bostons, aided by an umpire from
Lowell, defeated the Providence nine at
Providence on the twenty-second instant,
about three thousand persons being in at
tendance. Cary spraiued his ankle, and
Cory had sore arm, which caused the sub
stitution of Hines at short and Nichols as
pitcher, while Muran played center field.
and although they outbatted Boston, they
were unable to keep up with them until the
last inning. Bad decisions before this had
been made by the umpire, and now, when vic
tory perched upon the Providence banner, the
game was thrown by the umpire and with
only two runs to make. Men were on bases
and good batters coming in when man was
wrongfully declared out at second base.

Field Notes from All Points.
The report that the Auburns had disband- |
ed is officially denied.
The Buffalos play the Tecumsehs in Lon |
don Friday next Queens birthday.
Bushong, late of the BuffalUs, has been re-
leased. He Immediately signed with the |
Uticas.
The small boys up in Chicago were hunt |
ing through the South park Wednesday for |
the ball which Pike knocked out of sight |
Tuesday.
Remsen has taken an awful tumble. He |
was put on the Chicago nine to lead the bat
ting. He played ten games, making two |
basel hits, all told, and has now been dropped |
to the tail-end of the batting order.
The game played Wednesday afternoon,
at Newington park, between the Waverly |
club, of Baltimore, and the New Bedfords,
of Massachusetts,, resulted in an easy victory
for the New England boys by score of IL
to 3.
The players on the Utica nine are "kick-
ing" at the way they are treated, and say
they were. employed to play ball and not to
live in a gymnasium. The dissatisfaction
may be the cause of so many defeats OF late,
and the Utica manager had better remedy it.
