THE, SCRANTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1893. Latest Events in fbt World BASE BALL. A comparison of the Increased or de creased percentage of the clubs since ne week ago yesturday shows that Scrsmton has tittered Itself .005 per cent., notwithstanding the fame lost to Wllkes-Barre, which club Increased Its percentage .003. Out of the four Karnes In the last Wllkes-Barre series, Scranton won only on. Had the re sult been exactly opposite, Scranton would have closed the week with an In creased percentage of .043,whlle Wilkes Barre would have had a decreased per cent, of .035. difference of .075 for the week In Scranton's favor when compared with Wllkes-Barre: besides, TVllkee-Ba.-re would be fifth Instead of tilrd place and would be only .528, or a little more than two games ahead of us. Rochester, Providence, Toronto, Scranton and Wllkes-Ilarre. In the or der named, have made the best week's record; the poorest showing was made by Buffalo. Syracuse and Springfield In the order named. The exact figures for all the clubs Is as follows: Per cent. Per cent. Increase one week yester- or de Clubs. airo. day. crease. prlwrfleld M .W .OH dec.

It la a fact worthy of note that If the games of the two Wllkea-Bar-re-Seran-ton series, of which Scranton lost eight out of ten, were excluded from the per centage table each club would have twenty-two won games to its credit; Foranton would have lost only twenty games, while WUkes-Barre would have lost twenty-one. It all tends to show that Scranton has the best club until we meet the Alligators themselves. Only with Rochester and Syracuse has WUkes-Barre made a better showing than Scranton. With Springfield, each did equally well by taking two out of she; but with the other two strong teams. Provtdence and Buffalo, the Scranton club has lost only eight out of fifteen, while Wllkes-Barre has dropped nine out of fourteen to the same clubs and could only spilt even with the weak Torontos by taking four out of eight. Prom the same club, Soranton won five out of seven. It will have to be admitted that Wllkes-Barre Is Scranton's Jonah with a great big J. There U no question but that Scranton can beat the Alligators out at the end of the present season If the fames between the two clubs are eliminated from the figuring, but tt is a matter of base ball history that, with one exception, Scranton never could win against them when the two cities were in the same leagues. The excep tion Is the season when Dan O'Leary's "Indians" were wont to mosey down the river, wipe the Alligators off the diamond and return to Scranton to be met at the depot by a band, fireworks and "distinguished citizens in car riages," the Jubilee usually being topped ft with a banquet at the Wyoming. But that was eight or nine years' ago and cuts no figure wtth the present pe riod when Barnle's ball tossers become afflicted with paralysis or stage fright at the bare, mention of anything that even sounds like "W-B." The only consolation for the Scranton crank Is to paste in his hat the fact that with the two Wllkes-Barre series eliminated, the Alligator club would now be fnirohlnrg behind Scranton and In the tall of the procession-. There are only Iz more games to be prayed between the two clubs, three In this city and three In Wllkes-Ba.rre, all consecutive ly between Aug. 14 and Aug. 20 inclu sive. For ten days beginning today the club will be put to a severe test In two frames each with Springfield and Prov ident In the latter cities and two re turn games with each of those clubs In the order named In Scranton, begin ning next Friday. On the recent show ing the club should at least split even on the four games abroad and may take three of the four at home. With a slight Improvement In Infield work, the hitting and pitching strength of the club, against even the Grays and the Ponies, the percentage wilt proba bly be boosted slightly toward the .600 mark. In considering the lndlvdual work of he players, Radford and Brady should not be overlooked nor Judged by any one game. Their positions are admit tedly the most difficult to nil of any on the diamond, and while thelnwork Is occasionally featured by error neither of them are guilty of rnisplays. Be tween an error and a mlsplay there Is a vast difference and of the two the mlsplay is the most Inexcusable; a good player Is liable to be . often charged with the former, but never with the latter. This observation Is true of the work of the two player mentioned and waa well Illustrated In the Wllkes Barre game Thursday, when Radford's experience was put to the test and he purposely made an error In order to make a possible double play. It was pretty work attempted at a critical pe riod and the opportunity would never hava "been trapped by a younger head. With the score a tie, and with Earl on third and Bonner on first Dlgglns knocked an etsy fly .between first and second. Had It been caught the bats man only would have been- retired, as Bonner remained close to the bag. Rad ford purposely muffed the ball, forcing Bonner to run for second. Radford was too far. from the line to touch him and then make a double by getting the tall to first ahead of Dlgglns. Noth ing was gained by the play nor was anything lout, as Radford threw to Huston, who simply walked toward ft -st and touched Bonner out, Dlgglns being on the bag. (Meanwhile a watch was kept on Earl at third; had he tried to score he oould easily have been caught at the plats. Radford appre ciated the opportunity for the play o quickly and did It so well that many thought his' error unintentional. DIAMOND DUST .

Syracuse 11 Buffalo 3 Providenco 12 Springfield 7 Olny two games were played by Eastern league clubs yesterday. Syra cuse had a walk-over with Buffalo, which club tried a new pitcher, Mike Kilroy, of the old Allentown State league club. His performance yester day warrents the statement that he Is x little slow for the Eastern league. Providence and Syracuse played off one of the games that had to be post poned on account of the weather Thurs day. It resulted In an easy victory for the Rhodeltes.

Game of Bell at Moosle. Between the Anthracites, of Moosle, and the Dashers, of the same place, a fine exhibition of ball playing was given Thursday afternoon on the Bonta Plate Glass work's grounds. The fea ture of the game was the phenomenal pitching of Luckey, of the Anthra cites, who struck out thirteen Dashers. O'Neill supported him In splendid style. The Dashers had to use two pitchers and the victors scored seventeen runs to the losers five. Tom. Bhea, of Ml nooka, unplred the game. Amateur Bsll Notts.

A. Long, manager, WHIRLS OF THE WHEEL. Miss Annie Londonderry, the "round the world lady cyclist," has reached El Passo, Tex., where she Will tarry on the banks of the historic, Rio Orande until July 16, then go north to Denver, on her way home. Beware of Jersey Justice, as doled out to the cyclists. It Is expensive. A ride without a lighted lamp after sundown means a fine sure. Jerseymen seem to delight In making wheelmen pay the piper. WouM It not be a good Idea for every dollar collected from a wheelman to be spent on good roads 7 John S. Johnson clipped three and two-fifths second oft the world's mile competitive cycle record at the Wal tham bicycle track Thursday afternoon. Johnson fairly rode Tyler off bA feet, and even the great Banger did not fin ish the heat; but that Is accounted for by his getting out of the1 pace and befog unable to close the space left by the withdrawal ot Tyler. , It Is reported that Trainer Shafer, of the Spalding team, has been released. Banger and Shafer are under contract with A. -O. Spalding ft Bros, to attend all race meets which the firm desire them, to, :The two, however, went to Toronto with Tom Eck and John John Son against the order of th firm, and raced la - that city, on (Monday.

It was a disappointment to the sport ing fraternity in the beginning of the week to have to forego the pleasure of witnessing James Judge, champion lightweight boxer of Northeastern Pennsylvania, and Mike Leonard, ot Brooklyn, as principals In a Joint fisti cuff debate at NantVcoke. Ex-Burnt Cork Artist George W. Turner, Leon ard's manager, could not persuade Judge to enter the ring without a guarantee that a certain satisfactory amount ot forfeit money would be posted In some responsible man's hands, so that the champion would have some thing for has trouble If the authorities stepped In and prevented the fight. They could not agree on this and so the fight did not come off. It Is not likely that Judge and Leonard will meet at Nantl coke next Tuesday evening, as the au thorities there have this week shown a disposition to prevent any fighting thre. Judge Is willing to meet Leon ard, but he Is out for what's In It. and does not propose to train for nothing. However, the disgruntled sports were to a certain extent compensated by the races at Carbondale on the Fourth of July. Three interesting events were on the card, and many Scranton lovers of equine flVetnesa were rewarded by winning bets on Maggie Davis, the fast pacing mare owned by John E. Davis, of Taylor. IT WILL Bi: VALKYRIE. She Will Come Here to Mace for the Atner' lean Cnp. Yachtsmen cannot help but he sur prised at the statement attributed to Lord Dunraven that Valkyrie III. and no other British yacht will come to America to race for the America's cup. After her race with Britannia and Allsa the opinion was freely expressed, both here and albroad, that Valkyrie III. is a disappointment, If, Indeed, not worse. Her chief owner says she Is all right. He Is a clever yachtsman and ought to know what he Is talking about. Alterations In her hull, spars and sails, however, are necessary. This his lordship admits. That she Is overcan vased was patent by the way she "lay down" when under an ordinary work ing topsail In a moderate wind. But some lead In her keel and a few hun dred yards off of her sails may work wonders with the yacht. Defender will probably make her trial trip In a day or two. Valkyrie III. will Btart for America on Aug. 8. She ought to be gin the voyage earlier, as the first of the International races Is set down for Sept. 7. Should she make a slow voy age she would not have time to fit out between her arrival and the day set for the first race. MEETING NOT PROBABLE. Late in the Season for Contests Between the Great Universities. While there Is little ground to expect that Yale's suggestion to accept the challenge of Oxford and Cambridge will result In a meeting of two great 'varrlty teams, largely on account of the lateness of the date set by Yale for the contests, the bold front of Yale will be a ten days' wonder to athletes. Yet In offering to meet without the aid of Harvard a combined Oxford-Cambridge team Yale has been moved by the sense of obligation to Oxford In curred last summer when the English men accepted the New Haven univer sity's challenge. Yale interprets the English challenge not as an International proposal, butys a friendly contest between four na turally selected universities. It Is whispered about that some of the strongest. partisans among Yale's athletic advisers were In favor of an at tempt by Yale to bring Pennsylvania Into the games, taking Harvard literal ly at her word. GENERAL SPORTING NOTES. The Scotch yachting critics strongly condemn the manner In which the Val kyrie III was handled Thursday, and declare that two minutes' time was wilfully thrown away between the Kll croggan mirk and the commodore's boat on the first round. It has been de ckled not to alter her sail plan. "Billy" Waters, of Victoria and San Francisco, pugilist and barroom bounc er, is now minister of war and vice president of the "Republic of Formosa. Waters' connection with the new-born republic dates back only a few months, when he obtained employment of the Tapen Fu forts as Instructor. It was his puglMIc powers that brought htm Into prominence. At the Joint meeting of the Worcester and Suffolk Athletic clubs at Worces ter, Mass., Thursday, the star feature of the card was the two mllle Interna tional race, with "Tommy" Conneff and George W. Onton aa the principal con testants. Conneft made the pace and gradually pulled away from Orton, after the first three-quarters of a mile, and won easily by twenty-five yards In nine minutes and thirty-six seconds. Reports from the Cornell crew, at Henley, England., are not encouraging. Four of the crew of eight are 111. and Frank Courtney seems to be a trifle dis couraged. It does not look as If our lads had much of a chance to win the coming regatta at present, but they are a courageous lot of true-grit Yankee boys, and may revive under the excite ment of tha arprooohlng event and sur prise even th phlegmatic and some times over-exacting Courtney. Oa.re men generally on this side of the water do not look upon the Ithaca students' chances as being very bright. State Comptroller Flnley ha given the Corbett-Fltistmmons) fight at Dal las a set back. In a letter to the tax collector, he says: "While the act of 1889 provides for an occupation tax of 1600 for every light between man and man, the legislature of this state has, by subsequent enactment, made It un lawful for any person to voluntarily enter Into a puglllstlo encounter for money or upon the result whereof any money Is wagered. That the effect of the said act waa to repeal so much of the act of 1888 as permitted an occupa tion tax to be charged for fight be tween man and man ha been decided by our court of criminal appeals.

Hughes, widow of the late David Hughes. In the rear kitchen a hanging lamp was wont to suspend from the ceiling. While Mrs. Hughes was In the base ment, she heard the sound of an ex plosion, and rushing upstairs, found kerosene oil from the burst ed hanging lamp burning fircely on the carpet and surrounding furniture. In her endeavor to querroh the flames, Mrs. Hughes was severely burned about the hands, her fingers receiving the most Injury, end It was only by the united efforts of the lady and her son, David, that the flames were extinguished.

West SIJo Hospital Bill Slsned. Representative Farr saw the gover nor at Harrlsburg yesterday, and In his presence the governor signed the bill appropriating 24,000 for the mainte nance of the proposed West Bide hos pital. This was the only bill granting money to a new Institution that passed the la"t legislature. Mr. Farr on Thursday addressed the Pennsylvania Chautauqua at Mount Gretna, on com pulsory education. It Was Not Her llushnnd. Mrs. Qeyllng has returned from Fac toryvllle, but the Investigation proved to the woman that the dead man found all Chinchilla was not her husband, who strayed away two years ago. The skel eton of the man found was much longer than M.r. Geyllng'a height, and the clothing, toeth marks, and other clues did not tally with her husband's ap pearance. A Stabbing Affray. John Larson stabbed Martin Carson Thursday evening on Jackson street. The criminal was arrested by Constable Timothy Jones and was taken before Alderman John last evening were a hearing waa held.
