Behind the Bat.
Healy made his debut for Baltimore
yesterday and pitched tie game against
the Athletics.
The pitchers of the four Western clubs
in the Association have greatly over
shadowed their Eastern brethren so far,
and the superiority of their work is be-
coming more noticeable as the season adj
vances. The cause is partly found in the
fact that the Eastern men are older in
years and service, and consequently will
not be at their best until summer heat
loosens the joints and muscles of their
arms. On the other hand, many of the
Westerners, such as Stivetts, Knell,
Mains, Neal and Doran, are young men
who have but recently passed 2l, and are
full of suppleness and skill at all seasons
of the year. Weyhing is the only East
ern pitcher who has yet held club down
to as few hits as two, while Stivetts and
Dwyer have each made records of but one
hit to game off their deliveries. West
ern contests in which the hits on one or
both sides do not exceed four are fire.

The first series of the Association in
which the Eastern and Western clubs have
been playing among themselves closed
| yesterday. Louisville st. Louis, Cincin-
natl and Columbus have no games sched-
| uled for to-day, but will spend their time
fraVnlinn aaCtuyorI fn Raltipnnra
Washington, Boston and the Athletics in
new series, which will commence to-
morrow and last little more than two
| weeks. Baltimore and Louisville have
| taken the honors in their respective Sec
| tons.
Gilbert and Wise have iielded poorly in
| Philadelphia, and the teams lack of sue
| cess is partly due to them.
The Baltimore club petitioned Judge
| Phelps yesterday to pass an order requir-
| ing Clarence L. Childs to return 5000
bonus which he had received from the
club. In arguing the petition, Mr.. Elliott,
| counsel for Childs, said he had already
written to Childs to return the bonus, and
| be was so sure that Childs would return
| il that he would pay the money himself,
| II II was necessary to pay it Immediately.
| Messrs. Bryan and Carter, counsel for the
| Baltimore Club, wanted the Court to make
| the return of the S200the basis of decree
in favor of Childs on the original bill.
| Judge Phelps reserved his decision.
Van Haltren is putting up great game
| for Baltimore.

| Nationals.
The team returns home tomorrow and
opens the Western series with ST Louis.
