Text	The Athletic managers yesterday practiced a gross imposition upon the public, in not advertising the postponement of the game placed here for yesterday between the Athletic and Baltimore clubs. Not a line was published in any shape, and although the rumor spread well, some hundreds of persons abandoned their business and went to the grounds under supposition that the game would take place; arriving there they found that the Athletic were to play the Canavan. Many turned and went back to the city, others, however, went in, and, after paying their entrance fee, ascertained that the game was not even to be with the Canavan, but with a picked nine. The game was played in so ridiculous a manner that the reporters did not score, and in the third inning a shower broke up the farce.
