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:

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.

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. The fast article of ball
played by the Eastern league Is shown

Between the Anthracites, of Moosle,

GENERAL SPORTS.
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. You
are therefore respectfully advised that
this department will not attempt to le
galise the proposed pugilistic encounter
