	Providence, Rhode Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Providence is the capital and largest city in Rhode Island, a state of the United States of America.
		Providence was named by Roger Williams in honor of "God's merciful Providence" in his finding this spot to settle when expelled by the Puritans from Massachusetts.
		Providence's population had exceeded 4,300 citizens by 1776, and Providence was able to avoid occupation by British soldiers during the Revolutionary War, though the city did suffer major interruptions in education and trade as a result of its location and facility as quarters for many troops passing through the area.

	Providence: "THREE AND ONE-HALF CENTURIES AT A GLANCE"
		Providence's rocky, hilly, heavily wooded hinterland yielded grudgingly to the plow and the axe, whereas pasturage was more spacious and the land more level and fertile in the colony's southerly regions, and these supplied Newport with valuable articles of commerce.
		Providence citizens led the way in calling for the Continental Congress, in founding a Continental navy, and, on May 4, 1776, in renouncing allegiance to the king.
		Providence's four major areas of manufacturing endeavor--base metals and machinery, cotton textiles, woolen textiles, and jewelry and silverware--were established by 1830, and for the next century they dominated the city's economy.

	Gothams Schedule
		Providence, RI - After a long drive up to Providence, the day got a lot longer for the Gothams as they suffered a tough break in more ways than one.
		After holding the Grays to only 2 aces in the 5th, thanks in part to a great catch of a foul tip by catcher Spike, the Gothams went down quietly in the bottom of the inning to end the game with the final tally of 29-2 in favor of the Grays.
		The Grays tallied their final 3 aces in bottom of the 8th and then Chicagoed the Gothams in the 9th for a final tally of Grays 28 - Gothams 10.

		The Providence Grays won two games in a three team round-robin mini-tournament on a chilly, grey May Saturday, beating the Hartford Dark Blues in an underhand game (1870-ish rules?) and the New York Mutuals in an overhand, 1884 rules game.

		The Grays joined the National League in 1878, and in their eight years of existence only had one losing season, their last.
		In their first season the Grays managed a third place finish mainly due to the hitting of outfielder Paul Hines who led the league with a.358 batting average, and the pitching of an 18 year old rookie by the name of John Montgomery Ward who went 22-13.
