w Biz thousand persons, the smallest opening;
, day crowd on rocord ut the Polo Grounds, saw
j the Now YorLs win a lone drawn-out hut ox
i citing1 same from tho Battlmores yesterday
i' afternoon. There were many close decisions
If; by Umpires doffney nnd Andrews, with the re
;!J suit that both teams did much kicking, the be
ijf halor of tho visitors bclne particularly dls
j sraeeful. The climax camo in the eighth In
( nine, when Andrews fined McGraw and llobln
h son $5 each and ordered the lattorout of the
jj BamoforcontlnuedlolatIonofthoruleF. Itwns
i the first time Itoblnson was eer penalbod In
this manner, so ho said Andrews declared
I after the (tamo that the Baltimores appeared
i willing to kick nt any nnd every decision.
g! whethor It was rlcht or wrong. The Now
fj Yorks nlavod rather poorly In tho field and
made n number of aso-rnnnlnir mistakes, but
j they won because thoy buncliod their hits nt
$1 the rlcht time. The B-iltlmores found Col

ga aldored. Tho new pitcher kept his head well
En and made a rather favorable impression on the
IS crnnks. whoshnwed thelrnnxloty for winning
tm ball by "rooting " enthuslastlcallj throughout.
i 8 It wi the llrst opening gnmo in the history
aB of the New ork Club that laekod the usual
JH ceremonies, thorn being no decorations, no
ifij band, no parade of the rlal teams nnd no In
S3' vitntlons 1 reedmnn wn not present, but
i Manager John II Day was on hand to welcome
m on army of old friends who want to see him
I succeed. Day sat on the bench with hispluy
!S8 ers and encouraged them to do their best ovon
51 though they were handlcanped bj the absence
'4a of their two star pitchers, lluslo and Heymour.
la) Capt. Doyle was also confined to the bench
"H with a weak ankle which, it is feared,
m may keep him out of tho game for somo time
Saj to come l'nrko Wilson played llrst base in
all mend of Doyle, but ho was slow to tnke ndian
EZj tage of opportunities to cut off runners on
Bin Rround hits George Davis had much todn

8jU turning the tide In tho ninth Inning when,
jftt with Slcdrnw on rlrst baso. ho hit a Hnor
JUjI Into tho right Held bleachers. The ball seemed
jK from tho grandstand to land directly on the
"Si foul lino, but OalTney would not allow It. nnd
W tho Baltimores did all sorte of stunts, Including
fu theshnkingof lists, the kicking of caps around
Jul on the ground nnd gestures of wild men UnfT
Ita ney. however. Inflicted no lines, nnd the row
W, subsided nfter several minutes of delay.
jfD In the llrst Inning Urady, nfter receiving n
m life on Lnchanco's mutl of MeOrnvv's throw,
W was caught napping off first. When Andrews
rM called him out he jumped up nnd was In the
H act of howling with rage when he was warned
l to desist, 'that was the llrst Indication of
w trouble and tho crowd, strangely, sided with the
IB umpire Mctiraw scored tho llr-t run of the
Tt game In the third tuning. Ho got n base on
ill bails, stole second, and ran home on Brodlo's
single
In the Inst half of the fourth Inning there was
,8 an outburst of rage on the pnrt of the lialti-
jj mores With two out, Gleason put up a fly In
Fhort centre. As O'Brien was in tho act of
1 cntchlng the ball Magoon collided with him
I O'Brien clutched the ball In his right hand In
i plain view of the spectators, and. still holding
i It, he fell over on his back. The bsll wns still
! In his grasp when Drodlo ran up nnd
'I took it out of his hand to show that
it had been caught. UnfTney aftor a
j confab with Andrews declared that the ball
had not been caught. The mniority of the
I crowd yelled "Out! Out!" and that seemed to
! stimulate the Baltimores, who gathored around
II tho umpire and protested vigorous!. But It
I was of no avail, as the ruling had been niado
nnd could not bo changed. No real damage
1 1 was done, however, ns S Ison retired the slue,
1 1 Mngoon making n brilliant stop and throw.
i Meliraw scored Baltimore's second run in
I'S tho fifth Inning Kltson, who had lod oft with a
.1$ double, was mlled trying to reach third on Mc-
: I Ornvv s bunt in front of the plate The decision
B was close and Kltson refused to leave the bag
II until Andrews threatened to flno him. After
' that McGraw 6tole second, took third on an
iS out and counted on Holmes's two-bagger
'a past Olen&on This small lead was over-
ij como In tho New Yorks' half, much to tho
I aatisfactlon of the cranks. Hnrtman forced
B O'Brien and scored the llrst run on Tosters
'B double, which was misjudged by Holmes. An
i out put Foster on third nnd nwlld pltchallowed
J him to tie the score Van Haltren sent a heavy

IB sixth tnnlngou O'Brlon's two-baggeraud Itob-

I Hon, Davis and Wilson made a fast double play
j that nrought out , i great cheer and closed tho

In tho last half bv opening with n corking three

Pnu.ADKi rniA, April 20 Tho opening game
botween Philadelphia and Brooklyn this after
noon was not, strictly speaking, a thing of
beauty. In fact there wern stages of the con
test w nen tho perfo'-mances of the high-priced
stars of both teams suggested the doings of
tho players who are wont to dlsnliy their abil
ities on tho lots surrounding tho town The
error column does not begin to suggest the
errors of omission nnd commission of which
both tennis wern guilty The mentnl delln
Quenelts. tho fnlluros to do or know what to
dont critical stag s. really overshadowed the
mechanical failures to throw, stop or catch
tho ball Asth- error column will indicate, the
fielding of both teams was away below par.
Probably neithertenm will again put up such
a miserable Holding game, and it is devoutly to
bn wished thnt It will not. Hut the actual
errors of commission wore not markors to
those unscorablo mlsplnys mlsplays of judg
ment for which the scoring rules provide no
adcuuato punishment. So larnstbe Brooklyns
nro concerned their defeat is undoubtedly duo
to the absence of Hugh Jennings, whose place
wns tnken, not lllled, by Cnssldy Cnssldy was
away off, and ns Frank Bancroft remarked on
n historical occasion the chances are that
ho will be n "groat deal further off to-morrow
" Ho mado threo glaring errors, nnd
missed a couple moro that the only
Jennings might have pulled In, but the
visitors did not monopolize the error making
by any means Cress ran n dead heat with
Cnssldy in the error-making way. but fortu
nately the errors of t ho locals wore not so disas
trous in their consequences as those made by
tlie Brooklynltes To theoredlt of both pitch
ers it may be said that neither showed the
slightest evidence of weakening inthefneoof
the miserable support which ho received.
They both stuck doggedly nt their work, and
Piatt won out because when the crucial test
camo at thectqsetho men behind hlmv ere tho
steadier. The one distinguishing fielding fea
ture of the gamo was the third-base play of
I-nuder. lor Brooklyn the all-around play of
Keelor shown out In relief. In fact. If It had
not been for Heeler's Inside work the Brook
lynltes would not have been in the game. He
ma le two of the threo runs, two of the six hlta
nnd stole threo bases, besides making a difficult
catch
Kelley opened the festlv Ities with n slow one
to Lnjolo, who promptly fumbled It. Keeler hit
I.audor. who bended off Kelley nt second.
Keeler stole second nnd wont up to third on
Cnssldy 's long fly to Flick ndorson hit to
Cross, who made n wild throw to Thomas,
Keeler scoring Anderson stole second, but
was left, Dahlen striking out. For the Phlla
dclphlas Cooley was retired on a great catch by
Keeler Thomas followed with a double. Dele
hanty filed to Anderson. Lajole hit safely past
Dahlou and Thomas scored Flick filed to An
derson For the next six innings there wns
some of tho liveliest kind of hustling. Good
Plays and bad plays followed each other
fast, and tho spectators were kept in
a state of alternato dejection and hope.
There wcro several stages of the game when
either side mlghthave won out, but invarinbly
the necessary hit was not forthcoming orthere
wns a brilliant bit of fielding on the part
of the opposition which nipped runs In the
bud. Brooklyn appeared to have the game
safe in tho eighth Kelley was thrown out on
n brilliant plav by Lauder. Keeler followed
with a solid slnclo to left and stole second
Cnssldy made a hard drive to centre and Keeler
started for the plate. Cooley threw home, but
the ball got there too late, tassldy taking sec
ond on the throw In Andorson was thrown
out by Lajole. Cassldy going to third Dahlen
hit n hot ono to Lauder, which the latter could
not handle, nnd Cassldy came in Dahlen trlod
to stem second, but wns nipped by McFnr
lnnd's good throw to Cross
In view of tho lightness of tho run market,
this lead looked good enough to win by, but
right here the uncertainty of the game was
Impressively demonstrated Dolnhanty began
with n grounder to Daly and was retired nt
first. Lnjolo flied to Keeler. Hick raised
slight hopes by dropping n slnglo In centre.
Liuder sent n fly to short left. Both Cnssldy
anil Kelley made for it nnd. with thu usual re
sult, it dropped safely between them. In the
meanwhile it lookod ns though tho ontlro
Brooklyn team wns making the bnll n sort of
storm centre, for when Cassldy returned tho
ball all the players with tho exception of (smith
and McGann were on tho line between third
andsHjond Cnssldy.whoapparentlyhadnodefl
nite object In view, throw the ball toward first.
There was no one there to receivo it and Flick
nnd Lauder chased home, evening up the score.
The Brooklyns were retired In order in the
ninth The Philadelphia won out In thelrhnlf.
Cross strut k outnftei trying to worn McJamcs

fumble by Cassldy. Couloy hit to Daly, who

The Baltimore i have a good fielding team snd
some clever pitchers, but collectlrely they ar weak
at the bat.
The cranks missed Mike Tiernan. There were
many inquiries made for the popular right fielder
yesterdsy.
A noticeable feature yeaterdayira the absence of
nearly all of the most nottd rooters who In year
gone by used to make things bvely at opening games
on the Polo Grounds.
"If the New Yorks only hai Rnale and Seymour

It Will Be Available for Cyclist Within
Ten Dnys-Crltlclsms of the Folios Raid
on Cyclists Without Bells-Why Tree on
tbe Coney Island Path Ara Cropped.
A definite point haa at last been reached rela
tive to tho approach to the Harway avenue
bridge on tho Coney Island side, and horsemen
and cyclists may rejoice in the certainty that
a sood roadway will bo ready for their use In
six weeks Tlie bottom facts in the matter of
tho delay wore sifted out by The Sun. and
on Wednesday they were laid boforo
Boputy Commissioner Fnrrcll and En
gineer Lewis of tho Highways Commis
sion In UrooUyn by a commltteo of the
Associated Cycling Cluba of Long Island, con
sisting of President M. Furst, T. Klendl. and
B. Andrews. The contraot, which was awarded
to Timothy Desmond, specified that the work
of making the Coney Island approach should be
completed in ninety days, and the ordor to begin
work on Oct. 31. 1808. was given to the contrac
tor. Slnoo then tho Ailing nnd grading hav e been
puttering along, and thoso Interested In seeing
It finished were unablo to got any satisfactory
explanation of tho delay. The hotel keepers
and business men of Coney Island have been
anxious to see tho work completed, but there
was no more haste on the pnrt of the contractor.
In consequenco of the visit of the commit
tee of the Associated Clubs, Commissioner
Farrell summoned Contractor Desmond be
fore him yostorday and, as President Furst put
it. Desmond recelvod tho " third degree" The
upshot of It was that tho contractor promised
to have tho roadway completed from the
bridge to Neptune avenue by one week from
to-morrow, and tho other block, from Nep
tune avenue to Hurt avenue, by Juno 1. The
Commissioner let htm have twenty-four
hours In which to get Ids scows and teams
and material to the scene of work nnd
Rltch In. 'Iho block from the bridge to
eptuno avenue Is M50 feot long. Of this
IMX) feet havo been filled vIn almost up to
the required grade, and ns the work will be
proseeutod rapidly to-day nnd to-morrow,
riders will find on Sunday little trouble in get
ting to Neptuno avenue, whence t hoy can
ride two blocks to llfteenth street and then
two blocks more to Hurt avenue. After this
first stretch is completed the work will proceed
more rapldly.ns the second block requlresonly
about four foet of filling and there is no marsh
land to hinder It Is fair to Desmond
to explain tho difficulties under which he has
worked. The filling material has to be towed
to tho bridge way In scons and there i a sand
bar in the creek which It Is possible to pat
only nt high tide Thedlfllculty of getting ma
terial has also hindered, but after his talk witli
Commissioner iarrell Desmond said that ho
would rush the work If he had to buy tnaterinl.
It will be Interesting to riders to know that
the foundations of the road on Coney Island
will be mado up of soli and coal ashen from all
over tho world, quite a little of It coming from
Manila and more from Hollo The reason for
this Is that Desmond was formerly a stevedore
and has been able to get the ballast of ships
from all ports.
Tho Ellsworth L. A. TV, Sldepath law has been
In operation only three weeks, but In that time
thirty-nine counties have taken advantage of
its provisions, and either obtained or made ap
plication forthoappolntmentof bidepath Com
missioners. This leaves only twenty-two
counties in the State that have not reported
action torhalrman.I.Il Chlsm, Jr, of the Side
path Commlttoe Of these counties New York,
Nassau. Kings. Queens and Richmond, will
probably never desire to build sidenaths. so
that of the sixty-one counties In the Stnte
theroare but seventeen left to take advantage
of tho law. This Is n remarkable Indorsement
of the bill and a line showing of the spirit of
wheelmen up the Utate.
Regarding the wholesale arrest of cyclists
for not having bells which were mado on
Tuesday night, thero is a difference of opinion
among representative wheelmen. Chief Con
sul Ueldlng nnd others say that It was proper
and served the vtctlmB as they deserved, as the
ordlnanoe has been In existence long enough
for any one to be acquainted with it and be
provided with a bell There hns, however,
been a great deal of complaint made about the
summary action of tho police, and otherproml
nent wheelmen say that the raid was unjust
because It should have been preceded by a
public warning that the law was to be enforced,
ns Is customary before enforcing nn ordinance
that has been Inactive These plaintiffs say
that cyclists are arrested, while wagons ana
trucks aro simply warned for tho same offence,
such as being on the wrong side of the road or
not having a light This, they contend. Is true
all over the city, the reason for It being that
It is too much trouble for a policeman to
drive a truck to the station house, while
It is easy to arrest a wheelman. An L. A. TV.
man who was riding on the Boulevard on the
night of tho raid sits that a wagon swung into
the Boulevard without a light and drove
down on tho east roadway, which was the
wrong side of tho stroet The road was
crowded with cyclists going uptown, and one
of them called the attention of a "bike cop"
to tho reckless ofTendor. The driver was
stopped, but not arrested. Ho was simply or
dered to light his lamp and rirlvo over to tho
other side. It Is because of this Inequality of
troatment that the wheelmen find fault and
cry for justico to all nllke.
An enterprising cycle agent in the East
evolved a bright Idea ono night, and the next
day posted tho following notice at his store:
"The reason why I have hitherto been able to
sell ray goods so much cheaper than anybody
eke Is that 1 am n bachelor and do not need to
makcitpioflt for maintenance of a wife anil
many children It Is now my duty to Inform
thepubllo that this advantage will shortly bo
withdrawn from them, as I am about to he
married, with heavy expenses to follow. Tho
public will, therefore, do well to make their
purchases at the old rate."
Ho did a rushing business for some time
thereafter. Meantime It Is understood that
tho wedding has been Indefinitely postponed.
Mnnv complaints have been mado hy fre
quenters f the (onoy Island Boulevnrd con
cerning the fashion In which tho tvroavenues
of trees that lino each of the cycle pnths have
been trimmed. Tbesorowsof maples, which had
spreading limbs and branches th.it In many
places Interlaced ncross the ptth and formed
a beauteous arhor, have been cropped so that
nothing but the trunks and ugly looking
stumps of tho branches remain. The I
shade and the picture-queues of tho I
Parkway havo been destroyed together. With- i
out understanding why the trees shnnld bo
pruned so closely, some persons have been In- I
clined to declare it an outrage. A reporter of
Tue Huv called upon Park Commissioner
George V, Brower yesterday and asked him I
why tho trees had been trimmed In sucli a
wholesale fashion.
" They ought to bo cut down to the ground."
wa1- the Immediate reply. "MttrerrieriHSiitime
rnlnlM" was his next remark. That was what
the trees had, he explalnod Thore seems to
be no plain English lor this malady, but It Is
one peculiar to soft maples and Is ovidencod by
the nppiarance of a while tcule on thu trees
Whon this appears It means that decay has
begun and thnt soon the bark will begin to peel,
the limbs to break and fall and the dentil of
the entire tree follows. According to Commis
sioner Brower, the treos that havo been so
clotely pruned were covered with tho white ,
scale and someot them were shedding bark. I
The clo9o pruning is known as "cutting lu,"
and saves thotroe for n time Tho trees on
tho extreme edges of the Boulovnrd aro hard i
maple nnd have not been so treated Tho '
Commissioner, who is nlso a lawyer, said:
"No one need bn afrnld that the Boulevard
will suffer at my hands I may not know mueti
about law, but I won't let nny ono toll me I do
not know anything about arboriculture The
soft maple is a beautiful shade tree, but its
term of sotvlce Is only ten or fifteen years, and
thoso treos on tho Boulevard should never
have been planted John Do TVoltT. tlie Park '

You will notice tlint between each pair of treeH ,

tho three towns han ropnitedly told us that
the Iningtnn-Miliburn race was a wonderful
source of profit to them, nnd they declared
that no other uent or ovents brought
so innny people into those towns The

lunches, vehicles of nil descriptions and
for other Innumerable things Yet In spite of
t ilsmlngton has placoda prohlbltivo tax on
this tear? nice. a, both Millburn and Bouth
Orange will probably follow Its example. Tho
