GAMES TO BE PLAYED.
The Schedule Of the Atlantic Base Ball
Association.

The snow storm Of yesterday was quite a set
back to the base ball season, not only in this
city but elsewhere, for not q game was played
anywhere. The Rochester team has departed
and will play in Baltimore today. Lehigh
University will be the next attraction playing
on Thursday, opening the new grounds. The
work there has been sadly delayed by the
weather and also by the tardness Of
the lumber dealer contracting to furnish
the material for the grand stand. The first
two or three games will probably be played
there before the grand stand is quite COM
pleted, so that the visitors will occupy the
boards for a couple of days. But they are
quite soft and very comfortable and ought to
be well filed.
