OTHER GAMES.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The Providence
Club opened the Leauge season in this city
to-day. The visitors won by a score of 4 to
8, but the game belonged to the home team.
The umpiring of man named Ogden, one
of the newly y-appointed umpires, VINO comes
from somewhere in New Hampshire where
the people do not know the difference be-
tween base ball and foot ball, and the dis
courtesy of the visitors in the latter
part of the game robbed the Phil
adelphia nine of a victory. The con-
test was the best of the season and the
200 people fairly went wild over the play
ing of the experimental nine." Farrer
took McKinnon's place on first base and
put out II men men without an error. Cole
man and Ringo did wonders and the Proyi-
dence players evidently thought they had
struck snag up 20 the eighth inning, when
the umpire considerably came to the rescue.
Harbridge on third fairly covered himself
with glory, while the fielding of Coleman
and two catches made by Purcell were the
features of the game. Tha visitors played a
strong game In the field and none of their
errors proved costly. Score :
Providence ........ o 0 0 o o.
Philadelphia ... 2 o o / 0-3
GOOD START FOR THE ATHLETICS.
PITTsBURG, May Mot less than $500
people witnessed the opening game of the
American Association championship series
between the Athletics and AlleghenYs. Both
teams were in good condition, and the field
ing was very fine on both sides. Matthews
pitching was very effective, seven men of
the home club retiring on strikes. The
Athletics batted Driscoll freely, but the
score would still have been cut down had
there not been a wild throw by Hayes TO
second, a wild pitch by Driscoll ,and short
throw by Battin to first, all in the fifth in
ming. The three runs were all made on
single base hits. The one run in the eighth
inning was secured on single long hit to
centre field by O'Brien. The Allegheny's
weakness was at the bat. Score:
Allegheny. o 0 0 90
Athletic ............ 0 0 x-4
GREAT GAME IN CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, May 1.-The opening con-
test between the Cincnnatis and St. Louis
team was decidedly exciting, but rather
poorly played. There were fully 5000
people present, amongst whom were a

bridge. The fielding was brilliant at times
and again miserable. The visitors hit the
hardest and the local nine the more fire.
