Auspicious Opening OF the New
England League Season
Saturday.
PITCHER TODD WAS AN ENIGMA.
Connie Murphy's Hired Men Could Do Nothiag
With Ills Benders-Results OF Other
Games In the Series.

The New England championship season
opened on Saturday afternoon at the Dex-
ter street grounds without pomp or cere-
mony, but none the less successfully. In
the first place, although the air was raw,
the attendance was about 100. Overcoats
Of the spring variety were of no particular
use, and even an ulster was not by any
means uncomfortable; yet the 100 stayed
the game out, and, considering the chill in
the air, were very enthusiastic. .
In the second place, the home team won
the game in a walk, and last but not least,
the happy fact was developed that the team
are the heaviest hitters in the league. The
NewlBedfords made good appearance in
their dark-red suits and red sweaters, and
IL was remarked as they took the field that
they were rugged looking lot Of ball
players.
Todd was in the box for Pawtucket,
and, although he says his arm is not in
good shape as yet and that he did not try
very hard, the opposition could do moth
ing OF any account with his delivery and
made but six singles during the game, one
of them being of the very apparent scratch
variety. On the other hand, Day, who oc-
cupied the box for New Bedford, had a
very unpleasant time of it, and the way
Pawtucxet touched him up was wonderful
to see. The work at the bat by the home
team is all the more creditable from the
fact that Day is considered the best twirler
that the Whalers have and last year was
very effective.
The remainder OF the visiting team were
good with the exception of the third base
man and centre fielder. Four of the team
bat left handed, and with a left-handed
pitcher against them they were In bad
plight. The Maroons on the contrary
were as lively as kittens, both in the field
and at the bat. Nick Wise was put in
-centrefeld, and Whiting played at short.
Both proved all right In their respective
places, and Whiting will prove the right
man in the right place with a chance to
practice a little more in the infield.
Weisbecker covered himself with glory,
landing out five singles and making a
grandstand catch of fly sent to extreme
left field with one hand which q tumble
failed to misplace. The level headed Todd
has evidently engaged In extensive prac-
tice with the stick since last i'm this city,
for he landed two home runs and a two
bagger. His staying powers in the box
were apparent from the fact that he pitched
stronger ball at the close OF the game than
me did at the start.
Not man on the Pawtuckets failed TO
make one or more safe hits during the pro-
gress OF the game, and the visitors, on the
contrary, failed to get in run after one In
the first until the last inning. The supper,
given TODD was first class on the whole

for the errors made on both sides, with
two exceptions. The score:

whitewashing the Taunton team in game
which lasted eight innings. The game
being called at that time to allow the visi-
tors to catch train home. The game was
well played during the first four innings,
and neither side was able to score. In the
fifth, however, the home team got the
g;.uge of Mcbride, and landed one run,
and in the next two innings eight. The
visitors lost heart at this, and their field
ing afterward was ragged. Norcum did

home team before they sized him up. The

Shut Home Team Out.
BRocKToN, May 3.-The 600 spectators
at the opening game between Brockton
and Newport Saturday were very much
surprised to see their favorites defeated by
Newport, and the home team were more
astonished than the spectators. Tommy
Connolly officiated as umpire and was en-
Enthusiastically received by the spectators.
Both batteries did excellent work and the
game was a pitchers battle. The game
was won in the first inning, and after that
neither team was able to score. The game
was somewhat dull owing to the small
amount of batting. Newport played fine
fielding game, their only error being ex-
cusable, and was the failure Of Dinsmore
to handle hot drive. Hickey, who made
his first appearance with Brockton, had no
opportunity to show what he could do.

A QUESTION OF EARS.

French Bulldogs From American ana
a3s English Points OF View.
Whether the French bulldog should have
rose ears or bat ears is q question which
seriously troubles American and English
fanciers. The French are not supposed to
have any voice in the matter. Dog history
indicates that the ancestors Of the French
bulldogs have had bat ears, but the Eng
hsh idea is that all bulldogs should be
English bulldogs, and rose ears are accord
tngly demanded The question became SO
important that an American French bull
dog club has been formed in New York.
This club has established bat ears as its
standard. The Paris Central Society For
the improvement Of French Breeds OF
Dogs states that ''the French bulldog is In
all probability of Spanish origin yet

A GARRISON FINISH.
A Very Close Call for Providence in the
Last Game With Toronto.

"A Very Close Call for Providence in the
Last Game With Toronto.
The Torontos again gave the home team
bad scare on Saturday afternoon in the
last game of their series. The lead OF four
runs against them in the last inning was
reduced to one, and the home team had a
very close call from losing the game. Both
sides played brilliant fielding game, and
hetwo errors made on each side were caus-
ed by the players taking desperate chances.
For the first four innings Providence
could do nothing with Williams, and It
was not until the last half of the game that
the support of the visitors allowed any run
getting. Failure of the visitors to bunch
their hits accounted for their defeat, but
they wound the game up with Garrison
finish. Freeman of Toronto placed the
ball over the rightfleld fence, and this is
the first time this has been done In Ave
years. When the game was over the visit
ors had man on second, and another on
third, and 1t only required hit to tie or
possibly win the game. The score by in
