The World or baseball, Pugilism and
General Athletics.
Theslaboring organizations in this city
propose to make 1t warm for President
Hewet's new ball club, for last night
ID. A. No. Sc, X. of L., issued boycott
against the club, and will endeavor to Sc
cur the cooperation Of other labor or
CARNATIONS in the cities where the club
plays. This Is something new In base
ball, and the outcome will be watched
with considerable interest, although IL is
evident that there must have been some
misrepresentation in connection with 1t.
The union men who are working on the
grounds have not stopped work and
there is evidently no disposition on their
part to do so. Ii the Labor Assembly
obtained their version of the employ
ment of the alleged non-union menit
would put.a different complexion on
the matter.
The game today will be commenced
AZ 4'30 o'clock, and the new team will
have as adversaries the Hamilton Club
OF the International League. This club
made Baltimore work for victory, and
to.day's game will give the patrons an
opportunity to make a comparison be-
tween the local team and the Orioles.
Martin Sullivan has been signed by
the Boston League Club.
The Kansas City Club yesterday
commenced suit against Pickett, who
deserted 1t for the Brotherhood after
signing contract for this season and
receiving advance money.
ALI exhibition baseball games
scheduled for yesterday throughout the
country were postponed, owing to rain
and wet grounds.
The Athletics and Phillies begin the
regular spring exhibition season for the
local championship to-day.
II is not probable that new right
fielder will be secured to take Stover's
place unless Sullivan can secure man
of established reputation. The club
has three catchers and they will have
to take turns in playing in the field.
The Philadelphia League Club will
play here on the 18th.
Is it not time for the Brotherhood
to commence to put up that guarantee
to secure the players salaries
The League very properly refused to
permit the New Yorks to play against
the Brotherhood team of that city.
