STRENUOUS BASEBALL.
When Providence Beat Boston For the
 Remnant In 1884.

Tennant In ioo4.
 Probably one of the grandest series of baseball games played by National league clubs was that be- tween the Bostons and the Provi- dence Grays in 1884. The Bostons had won the championship of 1883, and it was the ambition of Provi- dence cranks, who lived only forty miles away from the Hub, to wrest the laurels away from the Bean Eat CTS. Every game that was played between the clubs was attended by immense crowds, and the excite ment was at white heat.
 The first game of the series in 1884 was one of sixteen innings and resulted in tie, the score standing to l. The pitchers were Charley Radbourne and Jim Whitney, and 10000 persons saw the battle. The next day Providence won by a score of 9 to l in nine innings, and Char ley Sweeney struck out nineteen Boston batsmen.
 Of the first eight games Boston won five and Providence three. When it came time to meet for the four final struggles the Providence team had won every series from the other league clubs and wanted to win the series from the Bostons too. Radbourne accordingly was assign ed to pitch in all four games on four successive days. He was in such magnificent form that in all of the games the Bostons were beaten and scored the sum total of one run. One of the games lasted eleven in nings. It was played in Boston and was finally won by the Rhode 1s- flanders by score of l to 0. Arthur Irwin, who was the shortstop for Providence, drove a long fly toward the right field fence, and the ball went through hole between the boards. It was a four bagger and decided the game.
 Radbourne's wonderful pltchlng in those days will never be forgotten by those who saw him perform. He went into the box game after game and pitched for nineteen consecu- tive contests. It was his remarkable twirling that was instrumental in helping Providence win the pennant that year. Sweeney jumped the clut in the middle of the season, and Rac went along single handed. One feat that was the talk of the baseball world in 1883 was his pitching ir an exhibition game at Trenton. The home club would not allow Provl. dence to play with the regulation league ball and insisted upon substl, tuting another of lighter weight Radbourne, however, accepted the latter ball and proceeded to strike out every man who came to the bal until one man had been retired 1T the sixth inning. Then a player fouled the ball, which had not beer done before. The pitching distance then was forty-tive feet from the home plate.

His lmaoination Too Vivid.

Tom, five years old, sat looking at a plate of cold tongue.
 "What's that?" he asked at last. "Cold tongue" was the answer. "Are we going to eat it ?" Certainly"
 "Well, have we ever had any be- fore ?"
 "Yes."
 "Did eat it?"
 "Of course you did,"
