A telegraphic dispatch from Providence, R.I., dated April 9, says: “Benjamin Douglas, Jr., manager of the Providence Baseball Club, will resign tomorrow, at the request of the directors, on account of difficulties growing out of the former’s alleged indiscretion in communicating and making dates with International League clubs unauthorized by the directors. The directors will not elect a new manger, but will look after the affairs of the club themselves. Douglas was employed at a yearly salary of $1,4000, and had $500 worth of stock in the club, which will be purchased by members.
