The Red Stockings leave to-day, in charge of Billy Elliot, for Milford, where they play the Champion Amateurs of Ohio. Thence they go to Louisville to cross bats with the Olympics and Eagles. They will be back Thursday night, and a game with the Red Stockings of Boston - the famous "Bostons" - who are the champions at present of the United States, will soon after follow.

This is to be a gala week in base-ball locally. To-day the Chicagos will meet the Stars on the grounds of the latter in Covington. To-morrow the Chicagos will contend with the Ludlows on the grounds which were made historic yesterday. On Friday the Ludlows play the Bostons, while the games of the Bostons with the Stars and Reds will follow, if, indeed, arrangements are not completed whereby the Cincinnatis will be the first local club to cross bats with the champions.

The vanquished White Stockings play the Stars a match game on the grounds of the latter club this afternoon, and the victorious Reds go to Milford to play the club named in honor of that flourishing village.

We understand that Colonel Joyce left for St. Louis last night, to make arrangements for a game between the Reds and the Brown Stockings.

The high waters of Mill Creek having left the Ludlow Avenue Base Ball Grounds, in the Twenty-fifth Ward, a game will be played Thursday afternoon between the Blue Stockings and Amateurs of Cincinnati. The Amateurs are not "slouches" by any means, as their name would indicate, in the base ball business, and a lively game may be expected. The grounds are easily reached by the Marietta and the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroads, and the Avenue street railroad route.
