Base Bali.
AT DETROIT.


and his former admirers became disgusted
with him. And as not much has been heard
OF him since then in that locality, the patrons
OF Recreation park are 10th to believe that he
has improved TO any great extent since then.
Quest can play good ball if he so DESIRES and
the earnest wish of the patrons is that he will
put some of that ''desire'' into his playing
the comm G season.
The Detroit club for the coming season
comprises the following players: Catchers,
Bennett, Gastfield, Dorgan, Moore, Ringo;
pitchers, Weidman, Getzein, Meinke; short
STOP Phillips; first base, Scott second base
and field captain, Quest; third base, Farrell;
left field, Wood; center field, Hanlon; right
field to be filed by one of the catchers. This
completes the team for the coming season,
but Jones will be signed at the moment he
considers he had rather play ball than en-
gineer locomotive on the G. R. & I. railroad,
to play right field, and his many admirers
here hope that will be in the near future.
The team at present practice between the
hours of II and p. M, at the Detroit roller
rink. Most of the members of the club are
in the city at the present time, and the three
or four absent ones are expected to report
during the present week.
AT KANSAS CITY.
From 5000 to 10000 attended the opening
game of the season last week between the
Kansas City. regulars and picked nine,
composed of Veach, Webber, Black and Wis
ner of the regular team, and Joe Ellick,
Hutchinson and several other local players.
E. Dugan pitched and W. Dugan caught for
Kansas City, while Veach and Hutchin-
son did the pitching on the other side, Dugan
being hit for six bases and the others for
nineteen. The regulars won the game by a
score of 10 to- 4.
The debnt of the Kansas City team was
very satisfactory to the patrons of the game,
and was prima facie evidence of the fact that
Manager Sullivan has got together material
for as strong team as there is in the West
ern league. The Dugan brothers showed up
in fine form, considering that it was their
first game in the city, E. Dugan being quite
effective and well supported by his brother.
Veach and Webber had harder class of bat
ters to work against, but their work was
creditable as whole. Tom O'Bren, the
second baseman, covered a good deal of
ground and created a favorable impression,
and Doyle, on third, did good service. The
outield, Seery, Graham and Burch, is as
strong one as there is in the country, all of
them being hard workers, sure on fly
catch and great throwers. All three are sure
left-handed batters, and with Visner to fol-
low them will strike terror into many
Western league pitchers heart before the
season is over. AS strong batting team
with Seery, Graham, Burch, Visner, O'Brien,
Doyle, Black and the Dugans, it will be a
hard matter for any pitcher to shut them out.
AS whole the work, taking into considera-
ton the fact that it was the opening of the
season and chilly Gay, exceeded the highest
anticipation of baseball critics.
AT LOUISVILLE.
The Louisville club returned home April l.,
after having been out for fifteen days on
Southern practice trip. The club has been
playing in Atlanta, Columbus and Macon
Ga, and has naturally been victorious in
nearly all the games except in the last game
with the Atlantas March 30, when Louisville
was unmercifully walloped by score of IS
to 3, which, according to the Atlanta papers,
was due to the unjust treatment the Louis
villes received at the hands of the umpire.
Manager Hart expressed himself as being
well pleased with the workings of the home
team, and predicts that at the opening of
the regular championship season the team
will show up in fine form. Hecker, who
has already arrived from Columbus, Ga,
ahead of the rest of the team, will not pitch
in the two games against the Chicagos, but
will go on to his home in Oil City, Penn, on
business. Although the grounds are as yet
not in condition, few days Of sunshine will
probably make them so.
AT CINCINNATI.
The Cincinnati Union base ball park was
occupied during the latter part of last week
by the Chicago club, Justus Thorner, presi-
dent Of last years local union team, having
generously placed the grounds at Spalding's
disposal for practice purposes, and local ad-
mirers had an excellent opportunity Of wit
Messing the best team in this country in their
field work for several days at least. The
Cincnnatis, in their opening game, will pre-
sent new aspirant for honors between the
points, and if his delivery puzzles the regu-
lar team the debutant will be promoted, and
do the twirlng against the Chicago nine dur
ing one of the series to be played the coming
week.
NEW YORK's FIRST GAME.
Over 1000 people visited the polo grounds
April to see the new team of the New York
League club play their opening game. They
had the Manhattan College nine of the Jasper
club as opponents, and the collegians looked
well in handsome new uniforms, and played
a very good game except in two innings.
The game was one-sded, but the lovers OF
the sport turned out in large numbers TO
watch the new men who are to play in the
league team Of that city. ALI eyes were
turned toward O'Rourke, Gerhardt and Deas-
L., G,~t I'D 4.
positions, but Deasley played in the right
field. When O'Rourkc came to the bat in the
first inning, ne received quite an enthusiastic
reception. He proved that he has lost none
of his skill with the bat by biting the ball
very hard. He was unlucky, however, in his
efforts to put the ball out of the reach Of the
out-felders. Gerhardt and Deasley also made
good showing, especially the latter, who led
the team in batting. The New Yorks won by
a score Of 16 to 3.
