EASE BALL..

The Opening of the season-Notos About
Wheeling Boys in Foreigu Clubs.
All the ball tossers belonging to the VA
rious leagues have now reported for duty
and are getting in trim as rapidly as pos
siblo, for the all-important championship
games. Louisville was up with the lark,
or Q little before, and started about March
90, for tour Of the South, and brought
back seven victories and one defeat. This
club, by the way, Is the one with which
Joe Miller, formerly Of the Standards, has
cast his lost for the impending season.
Joe has been making quite name for
himself by playing five consecutive games
without an error, which, considering his
entire want OF practice since last year, is
very creditable work.
Indianapolis and Cleveland are now on
tho ground lately covered by Louisville,
but their paths are much rougher, espe-
cially Cleveland's, who, up to date, have
met nothing but disaster.
On April 2 the fray became somewhat
general. Chicago aowned Louisville ut
the latter's home, to the tune OF II too;
the Metropoli an met Yale, anu crawled
ont OF q small hole by beating them 5 10
81, Brooklyn defeated the Nationals at
Washington 12 To s, and Providence had
aclose shave ut Norfolk, beating the Vir-
ginia team 5 to4.
The record Of games forApril Srd is, Nas
.ionals, 8; Brooklyn, ei Baltimore, 9; Baf-
Monitors, g. On Saturday the. Nationals
defeated the Brooklyn 15 to 8, and the
Louisvilles downed the Indianapolis club
5.to 4.
The arbitration committee met In Phil
adelphia the ard inst. and upheld the

a Holiday with an Unnainble Name OBJ
served Yesterday.
There was "great doingsp among the
Chinese residents of Wheeling yesterday.
1t was evidently a holiday among their
race, and apparently the idea Of the occa-
sion was not unlike that Of the Christian
Easter, though observed in pagan way.
The proprietors and employees Of the two
Market street washee-washee shops pro-
yided themselves with several beheaded
chickens and ducks, number Of little
bags OF rice and several bundles Of "joss"
sticks and incense paper. With these
they repaired to the grayeof their dead
friend buried about two years ago in the
Peninsula cemetery. There the sacrifice
was burnt and the rice scattered over the
ground. The eight or ten Mongolians re.
manned at the cemetery until a late hour
in the evening, going through unique cere.
monials.
Alter their return 10 Lee, Of the laundry
on the corner OF Fourteenth street, was
interroeated as to where they had been.

From the bland smile on JOS face, how

tured to ask.
"Naw; burn a dam meatl"
This, 1t was subsequently, learned, did
not refer to, the burnt offering at the grave
yard, but to a liberal feast OF beef which
was left on the FIRE when the party de.
parted, and was burned to cinder during
their absence.
