On~the Home Grounds.

ON She Home Grounds
Boston, May 25.-The league season was
opened here to day with all the eclat that
new grand stand, brass band and an audi
enee of fifteen Thousand could produce.
Every one expected that the home pets would
win, besthey struck an unexpected obstacle
in the person of Casey, who disposed of the
bean eaters with ridiculous ease, Johnston
being the only man to fathom his delivery.
Johnston also covered the entire outfield for
the home nine and took balls within easy
reach of Brown and Hornung. Boston's only
run was scored il the seventh after two men
were out on Johnston's triple and Browns
single. Philadelphia scored in the Sec
ond on Delehanty's double and Twins
single. The run was not earned as Nash had
an easy chance to catch Delehanty mapping,
but dropped the ball. In the third Wood
made hit, went to second on a wild pitch
and was brought in by Andrews four cush-
ion shot over the left field fence In the fifth
Wood hit safely, took second on Andrews
out, was caught between second and third,
but in the attempt to run him down. Burdock
hit Wood in the back with the ball which
rolled off safely and Wood scored. The fea-
lures of the game were Johnston's batting
and battery work of the visitors. Wood and
Andrews caught difficult flies while running
through the crowd. The score;

The Giants strike Their Usual Jonah.
New YORK, May 25.-The New Yorks were
beaten at the Polo grounds by the Washing
tons to-day after a dismal contest. WEIGH
pitched a splendid game, but poor work in
the field in the opening inning defeated the
Giants. O'Day pitched with telling effect
and his support was all but perfect. O'Rourke
had finger split in the first inning and re-
tired. The threatening weather kept the at
tendance down to 2,055.

The Chicagos win Again.
CHICAGO, May 25.-The Chicagos won
closely contested game to-day through errors
made by Rowe and White, due mainly to
the ball being wet and slippery. Neither
side could do much with the excellent pitch
ing of Krock and Conway, though the De-
troits won their run in the eighth on
triple by Thompson and Rowe's single.
