Ew HAVEN STILL WINNING.

The Providence Team Put Up a Good Game Hut Lose to the Local men-An Amusing Incident on the Grounds-Ffrst Baseman Hartnett l Gives Manager Burnham Advice.
 The Eastern association infant made its first appearance on the local grounds yes terday afternoon and put up an excellent game against the local team. For so young child the Providence team put quality of ball that made the home team | hustle to beat. The day was cold and the weather very threatening and in con sequence only about one hundFed en- thusiasts wended their way to the ball grounds, but what the crowd lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm, especially after Pat Hartnett commenced to coach in his own inimitable way, ad- dressing his remarks not only to his play CTS but the audience, reporters, and finally advising Manager Burnham to go and get a shave His coaching was really the feature of the game and was l much enjoyed by all present. Gililand l was in the box for the home team and pitched fairly effective game but at times seemed to lose his head and with it his ouoCtlHeuoSS. The local team had the game well in hand up to the eighth inning, when Super numerary Hayden of the police force near ly succeeded in acting as "Jonah" to the entire home team. A small boy perhaps | ten years of age evidently did something l which in the opinion, of Hayden was not right, and he immediately proceeded to l give chase. The nimble' youth succeeded, however, in evading him by climbing in l~Ak rrf afo Sy, | bleaehers and finally ran around back of the grand stand. Here Hayden threw his club at him, but did not succeed in hitting him with it, more through good luck than 1 good management. The cause of the disturbance was finally captured by Sergeant Burgin and turned over to Hayden, who by this time was nearly winded. The boy had evidently commit ted no great oHense for he was let off in- mediately after his capture.
 Whether this little episode acted in the capacity of a .'mascotn for the visitors or not will probably never be known but cer- tain it is that they succeeded in scoring four runs, and took the lead. The local men were, however, equal to the emer- gency, and nothing daunted came to the bat in the ninth inning as smiling as ever, and succeeded in winning the game by 8 base on balls, two errors off Hanifan, and two beautiful sacrifice hits by Lally and Decker.
 The visitors put M. J. Sullivan in to pitch, but he was retired after the fourth inning and Morse substituted.
 The local team secured their runs in the following manner: In the first inning Doyle and Sales were presented with their bases on called balls and each advanced a base on wild pitch and both crossed the plate on timely single by Farrar. Wilson added another run to the score in the sec ond inning on his own single, Doyle's sac rifce, 8 passed ball and Sales single. In the fourth Wilson opened up with cork ing two-bagger and went to third on Mur- phys error, Gilliland going to first on the same misplay. Just at this stage of the proceedings Sullivan took it into his head trotted home and Gilliland went to third, coming home few minutes later on Doyle's single. Doyle got to sec ond oa a wild pitch, made 8 neat steal of third and home on Burke's error at the plate. Farrar secured his base on balls in the seventh on four bad balls, was advanced to second on sacrifice hit, to third on passed ball and home on Decker's sacrifice to deep left field The two runs secured in the ninth inning have been referred to above.
 The visitors secured two runs in the second on a base on balls, two bagge1 two bagger, single and errors of Farra1 and Decker, and four in the eighth on three singles, two bases on balls, wild pitch, two steals and an error by Pettee.
 The same clubs will play this and Satur- day afternoons at the Howard avenue grounds.
