the Republican leader does not intend to

Crevy and Gambetta administration and

THE OPENING GAArE.
A Contest Between the Nationals and Balti-
mores Next saturday.

Tho polar wave of the last twenty -four
hours put sudden stop upon the field prac.
tico of the National nine but IL is to be hoped
that tho cold snap will be Of brief duration
and take its departure as suddenly as II ap.
peared The work on the grounds was not
interrupted, aud the principal work that
within the diamond-has been completed, and
now attention will be given TO the outfield,
where more rapid progress eau be made. The
announcement that the Baltimore club had
disbandcd was premature. 1t Is true that
suCh course was contemplated, but they
have bridgod over the trouble, aud tho pros
poets are very fair that they will remain In
tact during the entire season. As an earnest
of this belief they will visit here next Satur-
day and open the season with tho National
Club on tho grounds of the latter. They have
sent over the following list of players as the
nine they intend TO bring over on that occa-
sion: DickeSon. left field; Say, short stop;
Richmond, third base; Evans, right field;
Daley, pitcher; Smiley, second base; Moyerle,
ilrst base; Birchol, center field; Dcasly,
catcher, and Tucker, substitute. With the
exception of two of these men, who have con-
tracted to play elsewhere, the remainder are
expected to remain in Baltimore this summer

has been infused into the Baltimore people, It
is safe tosay that club in that city for 1880
is a fixed fact.
Derby is due to-day and Gorhardt has an
nouncod by telegraph that he will be here
tomorrow.
On Monday and Tuesday of next week the
Nationals will play the Brown University
nine, of Providence, Il. l., with "tho only"
Richmond pitching. Considerable has been
said of the great skill shown by this
gentleman in manipulating and delivering the
ball aud the difficulty batsmcn experience in
trying to hit him, and the public will havo an
opprtunity to see what success the National
mon meet with when they face him. lie was
hero late in tho season last year, and then
gave good account of himself, but the Ma
tionnls regard themselves far superior to their
playing strength of last year, and believe that
they can cope with this phenomenal pitcher
After completing their engagement with the
University nine, the Nationals the same week
visit Baltimore and play return game with
the Monumental City Club. The following week
they will meet and cOpe with the Providence
Club, the League champions, aud then comes
the rub. If will, hard work and good effort
can accomplish anything, they will pluck tho
punage of the proud boys of Little Rhody"
as they mean to be victorious over them if it
lays within their power to accomplish it.

Patch Convicted of Assault.

The Criminal court, Justice James, was oc-
cupicd yesterday in hearing the case of Joseph
Patch, charged with committing an assault
aud battery, in July last, on Dir. o. NJ. Mum
castor, at his residence, on New York avenue.
The defendant got the idea into his head that
the physician, who had been in attendance
upon his wife, had exercised moro liberty and
freedom than his profession warranted. He
visited the doctors residence and not only as.
saulted him, but bcsmeared his face with filth.
The trial developed the fact that the physician
did no more than the urgency of the case re.
qured in attending Mrs Patch and during
the entire interview with her lady, named
Mrs Porter, was In the room and went there
by the Joint request Of Patch aud his wife,
Mr.. 4. Jessup Miller, counsel for the accused,
set up the defense of insanity of his client,
especially upon the subject of male physicians
treating women for certain diseases, which he
insisted should only be done by female physi.
clans The jury gave the insanity plea slight
consideration, and in ten minutes returned u
verdict of guilty against Patch as charged.
Notice being given of motion for u new trial,
sentence was suspended.
