[Cincinnati vs. Providence 6/12/1878] Bradley, of the New Bedfords, had come to this city to pitch for the home nine. The Providence management had understood that the New Bedfords had entirely withdrawn from the Internationals, but had found out at the last moment that they had simply withdrawn from the championship contest, and were yet with the Internationals. Bradley was afraid that he would be expelled if he played, and so backed down, suiting Captain White and manager Neff, who had no desire of batting, as they said, against “the terror.” It is reported that the New Bedfords are bankrupt and in a fearful condition financially. Bradley's release from them and engagement with the Providence Nine may be looked for inside of forty-eight hours.
