Copyright 1855, BY the California associated Press

season was opened here to- day by a game
between the New Yorks and Washingtons
Notwithstanding the cold and disagreeable
weather, 5000 people witnessed the game
Neither nine produced its crack batteries.
Titcomb and Murphy were the New Yorks
and O'Day and Deasley the home clubs.
Tltcomb's pitching was the feature of the
game. The Washingtons were utterly TN
able to solve his curves, and but three base
hits were made off his deliveries. He
struck out FIVE men. o,Day pitched wild
game, and the New Yorks batted him
freely. Deasley made several wild throws,
and the Unfolding of the Washingtons was
pitiable exhibition of errors. Score
New York 6, Washington 0.
PITTsBURG DOWNS DETROIT.

son opened here 10 day, and the Detroits were

son and White base on balls and single
by Kuehne. Score-Pittsburg 5, Detroit 2.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 20th.-The first game
of the League season here was won by Chi
cago after hard struggle. The weather
was miserable, and the $500 spectators
danced about on boards throughout the
game in an endeavor to keep up their blood
circulation.
Van Haltren's work was good. Myers
batting was feature, and but for the good
fielding of the Chicagos would have won
the game. Sullivan and Easterbrook had
collision at first, and they had fight, for
which the umpire fined them $2G each.
Score-Chicago 5, Indianapolis A.
VICTORY FOR BOSTON.
PHILADELPHIA, April 20th.-The first
league game opened under unauspicious

Ell PAso April 2Oth.-A new Mexican
railroad enterprise, apparently with the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company at its
back and FL Paso for its objective point, is
projected. The road is to run from El Paso
through the northern portion of Chihuahua
to the mining district of Sabinal and Cor
rillates. A high official of that company
recently went on quiet tour Of investiga-
ton in that section of the country and
found that a railroad could be built at CON-
paratively little cost over level country,
tapping districts capable of furnishing
constant supply of local traffic.
AT Sabinal are inexhaustible mining and
timbering resources, and at Corrillatas and
along tke Santa Marie river vast bodies of
agricultural land. On the line of the pro-
jected road is a new town, Las Palonas,
built for G French syndicate by Luis Heul-
