JOHN H. BRIoDY, Manager.
Petit is playing in the Milwaukee
nine, and has proved to be q great ac-
cession, hitting hard and fielding bril-
liantly.
Radbourn is pitching great ball, and,
after all is BostOn's mainstay in the box.
He never was more ambitious for the
success of nine than this year, and is
perfectly willing to pitch every other
day.
John Henry has been engaged to play
with the New York National league club
and will report at Boston to-day.
After the game of ball at Baltimore,
between Hartford and Baltimore, Sun
day afternoon, the sheriff of Ann Arun-
del county quietly placed Manager
Barnie under arrest on a charge of violat-
ing the code of general law relating to
amusements, and placed him under 49,
600 bonds for hearing on Wednesday
at Annapolis. The owner of the park
went his bond.
Paul Hines has been released by the
Pittsburgs.
Dave Orr has failed to make hit in
but one in the last twenty, and but two
in the last thirty games.
Jimmy Calvin isn't being hit as hard
as he was earlier in the season. The old
man is still Gin it, and likely to be more
SO the hotter the weather grows.
The New York National and Players
league teams went to Philadelphia from
New York in the same car on the 18th
inst. The men were sitting together and
all kept silence. Keefe and Glasscock
sat next to each other aud never spoke.

The Acmes are willing to accept both
challenges from the Rose Hill Hose COM
