Days Game.
BALTIMORE, April 20.-Nsw Haven lost the
first championship game of the season here
yesterday by a SCORE of 10 to 8. Tho homo
team was outbatted by the visitors, but the
wretohed work Of the visitors in the field In
what did the business. Horner pitched for
the visitors aud is responsible for several of
the home teams runs. In the second inning
as he stepped into the boz he was presented
by his many lady friends In this city with .
beautiful basket of flowers. These flowers
must have "hoodooed" Jack, for he gave
tho first two batters their bases on balls, and
this. together with several errors on the part
OF New Haven, along with Q couple of hits
ny the home team, gave the "Orioles"
SIX unearned runs. From this point on
New Haven piled error upon error and the
home team kept crossing the plate until the
end of the game. The grounds hero are
something unusual In the way of ball
grounds and proved a serious hindrance to
the fielding of the visitors. They arc of
clay and nearly as hard as stone, quite diff
ferent from the grounds at home, which are
sandy and uneven. However, they are good
ball grounds and the team will do better on
them tomorrow. Only one thousand people
were present at the game Saturday. The
lack of attendance. may be attributed to the
weather, which is very chilly here at present.
II was even uncomfortable at the grounds
yesterday with light overeoat on.
We started from New Haven on the boat,
as you know, and arrived in Jersey City
about o'clock Saturday morning. There We
met the Worcester team, who was en- route
for Wilmington, where they opened the sea-
son by defeating the Wilmington's quite
hAndily yesterday afternoon. The trip from
Jersey City to Wilmington was an enjoyable
one to both teams. The boys joked, told
stories, played cards, and in many other ways
passed the time away. Occasionally the
words, 'Pass, "My edge" or "say, I'll just
see what you've got if IL does cost me
couple of cases." but the boys got along
nicely and wished each other good luck when
they parted at Wilmington. The rest of tho
run was made quickly and we arrived In
baltimore at 1:45 p. M, just in time to eat
dinner and get to the grounds in time to play
the game. The whole party is stopping at
the Eutaw house, and we will probably re-
day morning, when We leave for Washing
ton.
Those at present here are Manager Burn
ham, Horner, Tsrrien, Hofford, Doran, Gill;

A bad beginning sometimes makes good ending.
