ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
BOSTON, May 8.-The Brotherhood boys are
SO far out of sight in this city that it would take
a Lick telescope to sight the men. Kelly is still
king, and SO far everything has gone on as
smoothly as June wedding. Kelly and Kilroy
are not only great battery, but they are also a
fine song and dance team, being capable of
doing an Irish turn with the best men on the
variety stage In the vicinity of the Brother
hood grounds lives an Irish bagpiPe player, and
nearly every morning finds "kel" and kip
practicing Connemara reels and shuf1e-otfs,
while the piper strikes up:
So now farewell to Paddy KiIey
The villain that killed poor one-eyed Riley;
Soon we'll have poor Paddy choking,
Upon your sowls, do you think I'm jokingl
thought the Boston League club would have
fully as many people at their opening game as
the Brotherhood team. but it proved another
big victory for the men under Kelly. 1t was q
cold clear day, with the thermometer down to
A. but that failed to dampen the ardor of $500
Brotherhood shouters, who yelled long and
loud when Boston won her first victory over
Wards men. The Brooklyns did well here and
carried away two of the five games.
The opening at the League grounds drew out
over g. 500 people. who witnessed game full of
slugging and boisterous coaching. In the Sec

knows about bunco steerers. "Byrnes' Bolster
Gus Brooklyn Bridegrooms" bit the dust on
three different occasions in this city, but since
striking the City of Churches they have taken
a big brace. The League clubs are playing
good ball, but the attendance is a big disap-
pointment in all the cities, and especially so in
New York and PIttsburg. Just think of Glass

ungrateful Glasscock, who is really responsible
for this revolt for he was the man who was
always beefing about bad treatment by the In
dianapolis club
The New York Brotherhood team has not
much to boast of; after the big send-off al the
opening the crowds took an awful tumble
But old Boast-on-oh, she is the CUCKOO of them
ALL In eight games the attendance has been
over 30000, an average of nearly 1000 with op-
position and cold weather. The posr Giants
received bad shaking up here, and even the
great Buck Ewing couldn't kick hard enough
to pull off game, The games from a financial
standpoint must have pleased Ewing for he
carted away over 5000 as the New York's
share for three defeats. Some people were
kicking when it was announced that Deacon
Whites Buffalo team were booked for two
games here ON Decoration Day. "A poor card"
was the way Brotherhood admirers put it as
they shook their heads. The great batting of
the Buffalo team against Cleveland gave the
Bisons big boom in this and other cities as
they had been sized up by the knowing ones as
the weakest team of the lot; and if the "Buffsn
don't go all to pieces during the month of Nav
they can depend upon big reception in this
town. where so many of the men are well
known. Haddock and John IRWIN live here;
Sam Wise is almost Bostonian, as he PLAYED
here eight successive years: Deacon White once
wore Boston uniform; Carney lives in Salem

The great pitcher wrenched his foot so badly
that his physician has ordered him to remain
quiet for two weeks. Young Nichols seems to
be showing up fairly well, but he is rather
slow in watching bases; beside he gives too
many men bases on balls at some criti-
cal stage of the game. Getzein is begin

games, and bids fair to do better when warm

lad is playing like a second Nash on third base,
son is yet young, but up to date young Lowe
has the honor OF leading our Beaneaters in
batting. Bennett is hardly IN trim, as he fears
his throwing arm during the cold spell. Hardie

The New York Leaguers are surprising people
by their poor showing, and people of a SUPER
stitious turn of mind are beginning to think
that Denny and Glasscock would hoodoo any
club. Is there any truth in that story about
transferring the Pittsburg League club to In
dianapolis? Perish the thought! Stop con.
