BASE BALL TALK.

What II Going in League and Assoc
ciation-The Home Team.
The members of the National Base Ball Club
will report for duty today in Baltimore,
and will proceed to spend the better part Of
the week in the monumental city practicing
with the Orioles. Manager Trott has foreseen
that the new grounds will not be ready for play
for over week, and has wired the Boston
people that their date here on next Friday will
have to be postponed until the Tuesday
following. The program will therefore be
that the home team after five days of practice
in Baltimore will go over to Philadelphia and
play two games with the Athletics. Then the
men will come back here all together in this
city for the first time a. Washington players
and on Tuesday will play the Bostons. After
that there are no regularly scheduled games,
but Trott hopes that by that time there will be
some strong amateur teams organized here
that will give him some practice.
