This loss wlU greatly weaken the Atbletlo nine, bat not as much so u many would imagliie, u his place can be weU tiled by UcBrlde, who is an excellent pitcher, though not quite as fast u Pratt The Position ef the Athlatlo nine wlU now be as toUowa:—Oatchat, Ellne; plleher, UpBrlde; litbue, Berkenatock; 3d hue, Paul; 8d hue.
