The 19C saw some unusual scheduling such as these two Quakers' games.  Morning in Boston, afternoon in Providence.  They actually traded places with New York, that club doing the opposite.

The Quakers lost a tough one to Boston, 4-3.  They had several chances to pull this one out, but Whitney held fast and won the game.  The Philadelphia's put men at the corners in the eighth frame with their young stars Ferguson and Crowley due to bat.  Ferguson took a walk to first but Crowley could not do the job.

Jim Whitney allowed John Morrill to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game
as the Boston Beaneaters defeated the Philadelphia Quakers by the score of 4
to 3 at South End Grounds.
 
Boston took the lead for keeps in the 5th inning scoring one runner.  Boston
had 10 hits for the afternoon.  
 
Whitney(10-4), allowing 3 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Charlie
Ferguson(8-3) was tagged with the loss.  He gave up 10 hits and 1 walk in 8
innings.

Again played this one with CF in CF.    

Then it was over to Providence to face Radbourn and the soaring Grays.  The home team took the lead in the first frame and never looked back.  It was the fifth straight loss for the Quakers who seem to be lost recently.  They have not been played inspired base ball as they were doing earlier.  Perhaps it was the train travel, but that is no excuse for a poor effort.

Old Hoss Radbourn completed the game without help from the bullpen as the
Providence Grays defeated the Philadelphia Quakers by a score of 12 to 6 at
Messer St. Grounds.

Philadelphia fell behind quickly as the Providence offense came through in the
first inning plating 2 runs utilizing 3 base hits. Paul Hines led off and
keyed the rally when he laced a one-base hit. Jack Farrell stepped up next
and he doubled. After an out was recorded, Radbourn then reached on an
error. Radbourn came up and he doubled. After another out, Jim McElroy then
threw a pitch that got away from the catcher. Both teams finished the game
with 11 hits. 

Radbourn(10-2) lasted until the end allowing 6 runs for the win. McElroy(0-2)
was the losing pitcher. He was knocked around by Providence, allowing 11
hits and 5 walks in 8 innings.
