The POftlnnds Defeated by the John L..
Whiting a. Sons Nine-A Noisy Audi
ence Anterferes with the Game.
Yesterday afternoon on their new grounds
the Portlsnds met the John L. Whiting &
Sons nine of Boston and were vanquished by
q score OF 10 to 4. About 600 people were on
the grounds and both grand stands were filed.
Contrary to the usual custom on such occasions
a party of well dressed people occupying places
in the grand stands hooted and Kissed first the
players and then the umpire; then they varied
the programme by attempting to run players
around the bases. To their contemplate
course may be attributed in great measure the
result of the game; the boys lost courage and
made lots of errors in the first four innings.
The last five innings the umpire was the OBJ
Ject OF attack and the players left to do their
work-and they did it well, as the score will
show. Mr.. Burnham's ambition is 10 make
these ball grounds popular place of resort for
our citizens; and he regrets exceedingly the
course of some gentlemen(0 yesterday. He
proposes II the scenes of yesterday are repeat
ed Thursday, to to take prompt measures to sup
press them. Visitors to the Portland's ball
grounds are welcome, and are requested to
conduct themselves as become gentlemen.
