BASE BALL. 



Philadelphia's rrpresenlative Club has 

 been reorganized as a slock company, under 

 the title of the Athletic Association, and 

 officered as follows: President, Charles H. 

 Downing-, \ ice Presidents, S. M. Flanagan 

 and William Warnock; Treasurer, George 

 VV. Thompson; Secretary, Charles I. Cragin; 

 Directors, Prank Mills and Charles 1. 

 Cragin; Scorer, Alfred H. Wright, and 

 Manager, E. Hicks Hayhurst, They will 

 play as an independent organ station with 

 the following team: McBiide and Weaver 

 as the pitcher; Bennett and Coons as the 

 tatcher aud change-catcher; Fisher, Reach 

 and Meyerle as 0)6 three basemen; Fulmer 

 thort stop, ami Seusenderfcr, center-field. 

 Ky;t[i, of the Lou wvilles, in case he cau 

 get a honorable release from said organiza- 

 tion, will be the left fielder, and the right- 

 fielder will be either the change-pitcher or 

 change-catcher, as circumstances may deem 

 best ~ They will play all reputable Clubs, 

 using the old ground at Twenty fifth and 

 Jefferson streets, f'liiludelpliia, and charg- 

 ing twenty-live cents admission. The play- 

 era above named, wilh one exception, are 

 udelphtans, sis being of the Old Champ- 

 ion Nine, and being above suspicion, they 

 are thoroughly worthy of the cordial and 

 UearLy support of the lovers of the national 

 eame"in Philadelphia. 



— Play was opened for 1877 at Prospect 

 I'm k, cm March 1st, the weather being fair, 

 but the ground was slippery. There was a 

 la ge number of professionals present, and 

 a good gHtne was played. .Matthews aud 

 Hallfnan, of the Ciuctunalis; Bond, of ilie 

 Bostons, and Oassidy and Larkin, of the 

 Htnfords, were the only League men who 

 part in the game, all the others being 

 jjithei intern lliotltfl or League Alliance 

 paiyers. Kuodcll, of the Tecittiisehs, of 

 tda, caught for LarUin, and did Ihc bu- 

 siaeas iu tine style, having but two errors 

 Charged against" him during the game. 

 Wilh SUCU men as Matthews, Hfiiiuian, 

 Bowie, of the Bries; Quinu, of the llious; 

 MeCabe and Honrigau, of the Chelseas, and 

 Buuce, of the Nassaus, to support hin), it 

 is not surprising that Larkiu's pitching was 

 bo effective. On the oilier side, Callaban 

 aud Burrie, of the Buckeyes, pitched aud 

 caught, and as they weie Used to each 

 other's style of playing, they fitted together 

 like clockwork. The side supporting Calla- 

 han's pitching was won by I! to a iu nine 

 innings. 



— The Bostons had a good game ou Wash- 

 ington's birthday. 



—The Indianapolis Club started on a 

 tour south on March yd.

 ary 8Uth, at a Convention of professional 

 club delegates held at Pittsburgh at that 

 dale. Professional organizations from .New 

 York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsyl- 

 vania, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, California 

 and Canada, were represented, aud an or- 

 ganization was effected well calculated to 

 r iluee the list of cracked players aud re- 

 volvers which have infected the professional 

 Class of late yeats. The new Association 

 modeled their constitution upon that of the 

 Lcjtgue, and adopted the playing code o I 

 rules of the League, which makes one code 

 applicable to every clul) in the country as 

 fal as the mere rules of play are concerned. 

 The Convention adopted a dead ball, aud 

 lixed :he price, of admission to their matches 

 at tweuty-five ceuis. The officers selected 

 were- VV. A. Cummings, Lyuu, Massa 

 chuselts, of last year'sllartlords, Piesi 

 iiiiji; 11. Gorman, Loudon, Canada, Vice- 

 President; .J. A. Williams, Columbus,

 bt, Luuis; N. P. Pond, Rochester, JS'ew 

 York; A B Rankin, Biookly. , and (ieorge 

 bieetuan, of Cuelph, Ontario. 



The Uouveiilioii, alter disposing of all its 

 business, adjourned to meet at the Palmer 

 House, Chicago, February 3d, 1878.

—The Amateur National Association held 

 tbeir anuaal meeting in this city on March 

 14th. As only legitimate amateur clubs 

 ■will be recognized, the attendance of dele- 

 gates bid fair to be limited. 



—The Athletic nine for 1877 bids fair to be 

 a strong team. It is to include Bennett, c,
