GENERAL SPORTS.
Tli State league disputes Scrantop's
right, to Meaney. President Hanlon la
here trying to get the little pitcher for
Hazlaton. Manager Barnle.v of Scran
ton, could not see the JuBtice of Presi
dent Hanlon's claim yesterday, and In
consequence the wires 'were kept hot
between the two manager and Presi
dent Nick Young, of the National agree
ment.' The matter 1 quite complicated,
but late last night a message fium Pres
ident Young Indicated that Scranton
has. first claim on the player; at all
events Meaney will remain with the
Scrautun until u decision Is made In
writing.
Manager Barnle secured Meaney, Hus
ton and Kagan of the Harrlsbmgs tho
day that club disbanded, June VS. A
natonal agreement rule roads that when
R club disbands, the league of which It
Is a member shall have a claim upon
the players for ten days thereafter.
President HanlonJ claim; the three
players were not secured by Scranton
until after the- dlsbamlment, and that
the Hazleton ' club, which wanted
Meaney, has first claim on that player.
Manager Barnle possesses the re
lease of Meaney. signed by Mr. Zlel,
ownerj of 'he Harrlsburg club. It Is
dated June 1,1, and ds In consideration
of an old debt owed Scranton by Har
Ttaburg. Huston yesterday afternoon
made affidavit before Alderman Mlllnr
that he (Huston) and En gran' were re
leased by ZM after the two players
had waived their claims upon $105 sal
ary due Huston and $85 due Kagan.
According to national rules a club Is
not disbanded until It falls to report for
a scheduled game and without good ex
cuse. ' The three players were signed by
Scranton before the Hurrishurg failed
to meet Allentown June 1.1, and all these
facts are set forth In Huston's affidavit.
Tf the Base Ball association hopes to
see its club attain a commanding posi
tion In the race, or If It looks to the wel
fare and encouragement of Its outfield
ers. It should remedy the Inexcusably
rough outfield. During the remainder
of the seasom the club will play six
times as many games at home'as in any
one city abroad. The Scranton outlleld
Is the worst In the league and by not
Improving it, the chances of the club
are threatened. Scranton'si outfielders
are rolling up a greater percentage of
errors than players occupying the same
positions In opposfng teams'. Such a
condition does on injustice to the play
ers and deserves censure.
...
Had the weather been fine another
large crowd would have witnessed yes
terday's game. This suggests the need
of a signal flag in doubtful weather. If
a game Is to be ylayed on a day when
Tain Is threatened a proper signal would
Insure th attendance of scores of per
son who will not take the trouble to
caU up half u dozen telephone numbers
In order to get the desired information.
A signal flag would no only accomnin
date the patrons of the game, but it
would Increase the association's dif
fers. Two games will be played between
Buffalo and Scrunton tills afternoon,
beginning at 2 o'clock. Only one ad
mission will fee-charged for both-games.
Wadsworth and "Old Hoss" Vlckery
will b In he box for Buffalo.
BASE BALL NOTES.
Boswell was released by the New Tork
'dub Wednesday.
Sullivan, of the Bostons, has not lost
B game In which he bus pitched this sea
Bon. We've a barrel of batters, but we want
a few good pitchers for bungs. Brook
lyn Times.
Providence did not havo much more use
for Meaney's curves than the Ponies did,
Saturday. Springfield Union.
"Inquisitor" la Informed that two-base
tilts, triples and home runs count no more
In a batter's average than so many sin
gles. James Galvln, formerly the famous
pitcher of the Pittsburg chili, has been
appointed a league umpire by President
Toung.
Subscriber Any player may be retired
at any time, whether the inning Is over
or not.' He cannot, however, again par
ticipate in the game.
They are kicking on Charley Snyder out
In Syracuse now. Ills days were thought
to be numbered some weeks ago, but he
still remains on the staff. Springfield
Union.
In every city on the national circuit
"Dummy" Hoy Is haunted by the mutes.
They are proud of the deaf and dumb
ballplayer and give their lingers lots of
exercise.
Stlvetts made a big league record for
the season Tuesday by striking out ten
Bplders. Harper has beaten that by strik
ing out fourteen. Canadians, ten Bisons
and eight Stars.
Ewlng suggests a good scheme for Ihn
election of an umpire when the regular
man does not show up. Instead of hav
ing two players from the two teams offi
ciate, which often results In trouble. Buck
would have one of the home players net
as umpire, the man to be selected by the
captain of the visiting team.
The many Inquiries as to the nge of An
son have caused the tirand Old Man to
declare himself. He Buys lie Is 13 years
old. Next to him the man In the league
who withstood the advance of time best
Is Jack Glasscock.
Glasscock takes no chances on long
throws. Although he plays a deep short,
he comes up on every hit that It Is pos
sible for him to reach In this way, thus
shortening the throwing distance to first
all the way from fifteen to twenty-five
feet.,
"A Constant Reader" is Informed that
npcnm Iiuqa la fi-enerallv considered tbp
hardest Infield position to be played suc
cessfully. There Is, however, room for a
difference of opinion on this point third
base also being a difficult position to fill.
An enterprising firm of Carbondale, Pa.,
yesterday offered a prize of one pound of
tobacco for every run made In the tamo
between the home team and the Allen
town club. The Carbondale boys got to
gether, and won not only the game, but
also five pounds of. the fragrant weed.
The offer was promptly . rescinded.

AMONG THE PUGS.
Monday evening the ten-round con
test will take place at Keystone hull,
Plttston, between James Judge, cham
pion of Northeastern Pennsylvania, of
the South Side, and Mike Leonard, of
Brooklyn. Besides the bout between
these two artists there will be at leust
four oilier special spurring exhibitions.
Undoubtedly a very large crowd will be
attracted. It Is unnecessary to state
that Leonard Is in good condition, be
cause he makes boxing a business nnd
always keeps In trim; but he has gone
to great pains since making this match
to train almost to perfection. Will Oil
martin, of New York, who was referee
In the engagement aft the Frothlngham,
has acted as Leonard's trainer, with
quarters at Harvey's Lake. Oilmartln
will handle Leonard Monday night, and
Will have the assistance of some local
talent from either this city or the Alli
gator village down tho creek.
Judge will weigh 135 poundw when he
enters the ring, and nut, one. ounce of
that will be superfluous flesh. He has
trained hard and faithfully, is confident
of winning and he and his friends will
feel sorely disappointed if .he does not
stop Leonard within ten 'rounds. He
bases his ability to do this on his form
er meeting; l!ai, he was more fit for a
hospital than the ring, and all who saw
the match agree that lie made a good
showing.
William 'Leslie, of the Wllkes-Barre
department of the Elmlru Telegram,
will be the referee. 'Judge's seconds
will be Charles O'Neill, of Camden. N.
J.; Richard Havers and Patrick J. Hop
kins, of this city. According to the
match the referee has power to order
another round at the end of the tenth If
he cannot then give his decision.

WITH SCRANTON WHEELMEN
The Scranton club lias secured "Del" I
Foote to take charge of their racing team. .
Mr. Foote Is a successful trainer, having
considerable experience in that line. The
Green Klde team was, under his care
last season. ,
"Kid" Gregory, of the tlreen Ridge
Wheelmen's team, will hardly ho In shape
for tho Wtlkes-liarre and Carbondale
races next week, as he lias only been In
training one week today. Nevertheless
he will enter nil open events with the
rest of tho team, as his experience and
level head will be good ballast for the
other members of the team.
"Palmer" Cox. of the Oreen Ridge rac
ing men, Is developing Into a flyer urn
his admirers are comment that lie will
win the "novice" in Wllkes-Barre next
Tuesday.
Trainer "Dick" Wambold was very hap
py Wednesday evening. One of his Oreen
Kldge charges did a mile In 2.18 4-K, paced
by the oilier members of the team.
"Baby" Keller has developed wonder
ful speed for a first-year youngster und
may be the possessor of a few diamonds
before (the end of the season.
The Oreen Ridge wheelmen's excursion
to Lake Ariel occurred on Thiirsduy last.
The affair was a grand success, both so
cially and financially. The arrangements
were perfect, good music by .Luwrence
band und orchestra nnd Louis Smith's
excellent catering being among the feat
ures. Harold Bunting und Bert Howell arc
the Ward McAllisters of the Oreen Jtidge
wheelmen. Hoth turned out to the ex
cursion In while duck trousers, canvns
shoes and lawn tennis caps, and were
greatly admired by the fair sex. They
are winners. i
About a week ago Ben Keller, of the
Oreen Ridge team, broke the frame of
his wheel while training at the Driving
park. As It would be Impossible to get a
new frame In time for the Wllkes-Hurrn
races, ho endeavored to have the frame
repaired. Only one dealer in town had a
piece of tubing the proper Size, and he ab
solutely refused to sell It Tor the reason
that Keller did not buy his wheel from
him, but from an honorable competitor.
Tho dealer1 has been boycotted by one
of the city clubs, .'..'.
A hill climbing contest was a feature of
Father Walsh's picnic, at Moscow, last

mile In length and made the boys sweat,
The prize wus a handsome gold medal,
which may be seen between the hours

BILL CLARK RATTLED.
Not at Ills llest In Ills First National
I cuRuo Gamo.
"Big Bill" Clark. thelex-Scranton first
baseman, made his debut on first bng
with the fllunts In Thursday's game
with Washington. The game was won
by New York by a score of 15 to 6, but
If the result whs vice-versa the blame
for the defeat would have been charged
to "Big Bill." He wan badly rattled,
nnd did not do his best work. The
Herald's report of the game says:
"The new Giant, Clurk, without nn
"e," was as nervous as an old maid ft t
her first outing on a bike. In a losing
gi.me thesn faults would have stood out
with the iprominenco of the curs on a
mule's head. But the game having been
hammered Jnlo our possession, every
sin of commission and omission was
forgiven. In the fifth Inning n
Jag ut sadness seized Hip spectators.
Ths e-less Chirk mulTed Stafford's
throw of Stockdale's grounder. It was
not a refined, excusable muff, but one
of those regular Scranton, Eastern
league, doublo bounding muffs. It was
plain to be seen that Mr. Clark was
scared almost Into unconsciousness. He
makes a mistake in not studying
"Daddy" Clarke's, nerve, which look
the medal ut every world's fair since
1MI0."
Out of 4 times at bat Clark made 1
run, 1 hit, 12 outs, 1 assist, 2 errors, 1
stolen base, 1 fumbled grounder, 1
mulTed ball und participated' In 1 dou
ble pluy.
The Sun says: "MUpIays by Clark,
the new first baseman, and Stafford
were accountable for four of the runs
In the fifth. There wus cnnsldiYable
curiosity about Hill Clark's playing.
The big first baseman had two emirs,
but iboth were excusable. His other
thirteen chunrex were taken most skill
fully, and he seemed to lilt the bull free
nnd hard."
ODDS AND ENDS OF SHORT.
Oscar Hesse, u well-known game and
trap shot, und Millard F. Cromwell hud u

According to the conditions they were to

There Is u new game for the gymnasium
which promises to be very popular. It Is
culled puss bull and like buttle ball was
Invented by Dr. Sargent, of Harvard uni
versity. The game Is modeled lifter an
old Indian sport. The players are divid
ed' Into two sides, euch taking half the
floor space for Its Held. The players ore
aligned In rows ubout four feet upurt,
with other rows ut leust six feet. At Hie
end of the line, on a tuble or other suita
ble stund. ure placed eighteen small
"medicine balls," nine for euch side.. The
object of the gume Is to puss the balls
along the rows of players from hand to
hand. The sturt is mude together iindj
every pluyer must puss euch of the nine
hulls. The medicine bull has been In use
In the gymnasium for some time. The
gume of pass ball Is designed to relieve
the monotony of simply tossing the bull
backward und forwurd from one to the
other.

First comes the timid youth or gray

essays to mount.
With anxious brow he gets on top, and
creeping
Like a snail, moves slowly on. Then sud

And, sighing like a furnace, dismounts

Anon he Blurts, full of strong oaths that
he should
Crooked go. And, quick to quarrel with
his friend
Who laughs at his mishaps, pushes to
the front.
Then comes a fut man with good-natured

Who rolls olong 'twould seem, by force

Next mounts the lean and slippered chap;

Shortened pantaloon and spectacles on

World too wide for his shrunk shanks.
And then, lust scene of all, the bloomers!
