The Chicagos and Dreadnaughts played their second game yesterday afternoon be- fore an attendance of about 300 people. The amateur team Wwas very much strengthened by the introduction of Guth and Straub as pitcher and catcher, and they played a game foll of good points, but with a tendency to wild and needless throwing of the ball, which cost them dearly at times. They were easily blanked between Corcoran and Gold- gmith for eight innings, but in the ninth a k of loose fielding on the Chicagzo side vethem two runs. The professionals were especially savage at tha bat, punishing Guth for&isingle and 41 total bases, and winning e game by A score of 25to2 The.batting sas largely of the long-hit order, Flint get- ting ina_double and a triple, Quest three doubles, Dalrymple, Williamson, and Burns two each, and Nichols one.

The reason of the change in dates is the gmall margin of time left Tor the journey to Cleveland after the third game, as the two clubs are due there next week Thursday, and s slight railroxd detention would spoil the program. ‘The other League teams will, it is understood, play their opening series accord- Ing to schedule. o A point has been raised in New York as to whether a Striker has another time at bat on whose foul hit a ruaner is caught off a base, snd the side thus put out. Of course the striker comes to bat first in the following innine, not having completed his time at bat when the side was put out. His situation is recisely analagous to that of a batsman who }‘sdepri\‘ed of his chance at bat by thie catch- inz of a runner off 2 base by pitcher or catcher, when the side is thereby put out, THE CLEVELAND NINE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune. CLEVELAND, O., April23.—Che Clevelands played another game to-day againstthe Whito Bewing-Machine nine, the latter being strengthened with Nolan and Kennedy of the regulars. ‘The League team had everything their own way, and badly punished Nolan 1n the fore part of the mame, but after the 1hird inning he did much better, and allowed the League team to get but two runs. The fielding of the Whites was poor. Fourteen errors were made. Their batting was also weak. They lost one run by a bad_decision of the umpire, and another by poor base-run- ning. The game was devoid of any special interest other than the heavy batting of the League team. The total score stood 11to 0 in favor of the Clevelands. ROSS BARNES. Special Disudtch to The Chicago Tridune. RockFoRp, 1., April 23.—Ross Barnes, of this city, started East this afternoon to fill an engagement with the Boston Base-Ball Club, in which nine he will play the position of short-stop during this season. Mr. Barnes played in the champion games of 1871, 1872, 1573, and 1875 with great credit. He isin perfect health and in masmificent form, so that great things are expected of him, not only by the Bostons, but also by his many Rocktord friends. GOSSIP OF THE GAME. Ttisreportea thatthe Bostous have decided forelease Richmond, their short stop. In four games against amateur pitchers .George Wright failed to make a base hit. Richmond was batted for nineteen hits in" & game between the Worcesters and Yales. The Buffalos made sixteen hits off Galvin “when he pitched for a picked nine last week. Creamer and Corey, of the Worcesters, are on the sick list, and Hotaling is playing second base. The Bostons have engaged Fox, the Mil- ford pitcher, on trial, and he has doue some very good work. Baltimore is to have a team composed mainly of the picked nine which defeated the Bostons on Fast-Day by 3 to 2. Whitney, Detroit’s third-baseman, brought ‘with him a_bride, and_a very attractive one that, on his return from the Eastern trip. Baker, who was Junder engagement to rovidence, succeeded in obtaining hisre- lease, and will Captain the Nationals of Washington. 1 Daly, the one-armed pitcher of the Metro- ‘politans, the other day kit for three bases. -The game was with the Troys, who were beaten 3 10 0. The Troys played the Metropotitans Jast Tuesday and beat them 5 o2, Each side ‘made eight hits, Connors leading for Troy, ‘2nd Poorman for the Mets. The Boston Hcrald gently insinuates that George Wright has 100 many irous in the fire toplay ball satisfactorily, and suggests that ‘perhaps a little practice with the rest of the team on days when there is no game might elp him,” Gillian telegraphs from London, Ont., his ome, that Le finds it impossible to umpire 1te gpening Detroit-Butfulo series, beginning the 3d proX.

According to the Boston Herald * the feel- ing in Providence is pretty general that the present champions witl not retain the pen- nant another year, and yet admirers of the Nutional game are loth to concede the victo- Iy to either Chicago, Boston, or Cleveland. In other words, the sentiment is strong that a K horse will appear among the compar- atively new clubs. So take courage Butfalo, Worcester, Troy, and Detroit.” The feeling in Chicago is pretty general that all talk about a dark horse is bosh. “The champions are in far better shape for ball-playing than they were Jast season at any time, and ai better provided against accident, sickness, and other contingencies than ever before. Depend upon it, Cleveland will' be the only team to worry Chicago seriously this year, and as getting beaten now and then never did worry Chicago much, the prospect is not very gloowmy. In contrast with the malignant mouthings of the_Capital. the following from the Gu- zette is refreshingly candid and_ sensible: “So long as the League sustains ifs present reputation for playing abilities, so long will the Guzette hope for its continuance. We feel greatly disappointed over our exclusion from the League, but we do not forset that the League had a perfect right to dojustus it did in regard to our city and nine. Itap pears to us to be very sall business to be running downand protesting against the very League in which we had endeavored so hard for admission. Let us they, instead of eter- naily assailing evervbody and everything connected with the League, take our expul- sion philusophically, levote our best en- deavors and energies to building up ay ciation which, Tor strength, plaving abilitics, and business enterprise, as well ns high ehar: acter, will equal if not excel the League.” Sir Oracle Chadwick assumes to lay down ** An exchange the law in the Clipper thus: holds th Vishington National: play with any League or League AllL club until they pay the Cleveland Club what the National Club of 180 charzed w owing them. ‘Tnhis istake.

This faci plainly demonsira- ble.” Iow demonstrable this fact may be, the fact exists, and requires no demonstration, that the Leazue Directors take a totally different view. Formal notice has been served upon ali the clubs compris- ing the League Atliance that the National Club is ander the ban by reasonofits defaunlt in its obligations to the Cl nd Club, and the League Allinnee has accordingly ex- pelled the Nationad Club from membership.

TELEGRAPH WIRES. What the' Managers Think of the New Ordinance. . They Regard It as Utterly Impracti- ® cable, and Will Disregard It. A TRIBUNE reporter yesterday afternoon visited the telegraph and telephone offices of the city and conversed with some of the offi- cers on the subject of the revised ordinance passed by the Council last Wednesday, which, looking towards the ,abolition of the telegraph pole nuisance, saddles upon the telegraph and telephone companies the pain- ful necessity of lm\'infi the cable system of telegraphy “completed throughout. the city within a few days’ time. The clause of the ordinance which places these companies in this dilema, wrose other hornisa willful vio- u of municipal law. runs as follows: No person shall hereafter erect, con- struct, or put up any telezraph pole, tele- eraph line, or wire, or eléctric _conductor in any street, avenue, or alley within the cor- porate limits of the City of Chicago, under the penalty of $100 for each and every of- fense. Andeach and every day any such telegraph pole, line or wire, or electric con- ductor shali be continued and maintained after the first conviction shall constitute a new and separate offense.” ited was that of the The_first oflice v American District Telegraph Company, on La Salle street, where Mr, Firman, the ager, stated that the ordinance would tually paralyze the telephone Dbusines: throughout the city. It would certainly put an end to all , growth of the vresent telephone system, and would give the present patrons the telephone com- panies a monopoly which would prove i astrous to their competitors in business. The company had a certainty of a very larse in- crease of business. Betwceen 300 and 400 ap- plications are on hand from parties desiring telephones which cannot be filled until the wires can be run into the consolidated oflices, s ntherwise the wires would have to be wice built. No further work in the way of consolidating the oflices of the companies coukl be done after May 1if the ordinance, remained in force. *Nonew wires could be put up, and if any old ones came down aceidentally or oth- erwise they could not be replaced. In a great many cases the wires are run over buildings by the courtesy of proprietors. 1f these were ordered off one building, it is possible that the change might entail their removal from many others. Then, again, hardly a day occurs that the city does not give a permit for the removal of a building. Down come the wires, and, after May 1, in such a case they cannot go up again.”? “Can’t you place your wires under ground ?” * Taking for granted it could be done, if we began this day it would take a yeur to accomplish the change. The city has ordered us to go under the ground, but "it has shown us 1o way'to sccomplish the change. They have described a ditch of a certain size as available for the city’s telexraph and tele- phone wires, and this same diteh will not take in one-tenth of our wires alone. 1 con- sider the ORDINANCE ABSOLUTELY INOPERATIVE, because it cannot be obeyed without a de- struction of our “business. The Board of Directors have not considered the matter yet; I suppose they will take legal advice upon the subject and act accordingly. Mr. Fay, manager of the Bell Telephone Company, made the same points and, in ex- emplification of the absolute necessity of the telephone to the business-man, said that just now, when on account of the consolidation the companies were not able to grant further facilities, parties were offering a premium for the use of the instruments. A tug-man who had just gone into business, finding that he could not be supplied, made an offer of S1,600 for ome, angd was delighted when a party abandoning e use of his in- strument made it over to him. le ac- knowledged that the absence of the telephone would cost him thousands of dollars annually; in fact he could not met along withont it. Hedid not see how the Dbusil could develop, or really how it coull fail to die_out, as every time aman moved lie would be obliged to-abandon his instrument, as the building of another wire to conneet with his new place of business would be illegal. " "The reporter called finally upon Mr. Nor- man William, of the law firm of Williams & Thompson, for the purpose of having some legal light thrown upon the matter. Mr. Williams conversed freely upon the subjeet, and showed that he was at home both in” the vractical and lezal aspects of the case. Avropos of the passage of the ordinance, he was of the opinion that the Council hau passed it under the misapprehension that it was what is known as the ** Barrett ordi- nance,” which provides for the gradual substi- tution within the city of the cable for the pole system of wires, which -ordinance is zenerally acceptable to the telezraph com- Efln[cs. Only two or three members of tho “ouncil really appreciated the full purport of the opening clause of the ordinance, and they acknowledged that they voted for its passage, as they feared their not doing so might atfect the chances of other ordinances Foinz through. . 3 The reporter called Mr. Williams’ attention to the fact thatit was believed by some in- terested parties that it 1ot in the power of the Council to repeal or amend the ordi- nanee without invalidating all the revised ordinances, but Mr. Williams said that this was a mistake. The Council could amend the error it had fallen into, azid would doubt- less do so at an early period. “T have conversed with telegraphers who think that the law is inoperative,” the re- porter remarked. - The law isa law, or Wwill be somewhere about May 10, and, of course, lawsought to be obeyed. 1 am afraid, though, the city would be obliged to BREAK ITS OWN ORDINANCE under a certain emergency. o oue of the fire-alarm telegraph wi comes down, what is the city going to do? It is going to put it upagain. If one of its po- lice telegraph wires breaks, it is guing to mend it, isitnot? Take the extreme case, and suppose that a« storm hias broken up the entire fire-njarm telegraph emt of the city: under the ordinance the city could not mend matters, and the community might, if the impracticable ordinance were obeyed, be left to the mercy of the flames. = The same storm would_destroy all other lines in the city, and Chicago, which does more tele- graphing, perhaps, than any city in the Ve would e left without this absolutely ential adjunct to her business syst just one commercial body,—the Board rade,—and “consider how its mem- bers would be affected by a suspension telegraphic communication. To give a case to the results of this Af it were put in operation, let us suppose that an ordinance passes en- forcime all - locomotives, under penalty, to consume their own smokeatter May 1. Now, there has been invented as yet no practical means of consuming locomotive smoke, so suppose -that the railroad companies would have to do one of two things,—either suspend opera- tions or dify the ordinance.” _ **But it is held by some that the cable sys- tem can be adopted by the telegraph com- panies?” . * Within ten days? Tardly. Besides; as yet ‘there has not been accomplished a system of ~ecables which the inventors will Fuarantee as practicable. The telegraph companies are looking for it, and when it is done the saving over the present system will be large. There is talk of fifty wires leing compressed into o cable an inch in diameter, but no practi- cable exposition of its utility has been made. In such a cable the induction would certainly be so great that for telephone purposes it would be of noavail. Evenalong the ele- vated wire, separated a foot perhaps from other wires, the induction isso great that other voices than the one desired are heard; in the cable system each wire would convey only a confused jumble of unintelfigible sou!nd. 50 much greidter would the induction ** What will the telegraph companies do if their wires come down?” “1 will cite another case before Ianswer the question. If the telegraph wires of a rail- road company come dowl, are they goingto stop running their trains in consequence ? I think not. No;ifatelegraph wire comesdown, the telegraph companies are going to put it up again. They cannot help themselves. The public 1nterest demands it, and the public would not allow the imposition of a penalty for the infringement of an ordinance shown to be utterly impracticabls Willinm Fogarty, the Superintendent of Streets, yesterday complained that Tie Trisusg did not trest him fairly in the statement of the difficulty he had with Mr. Bailey. **You know it wasn’t rair,” said he. *1 didn’t chase about chairs.” The truth should be told: Mr. Fogarty did not place barricades before and_behind the door of the | Penclis: room in which he took refuge.
