Battle of the Leaders.
' Providence, Aug1. 20. The Sprlng
flelda won today by magnificent pltcn
Ing. Heavy clouds hung over the
grounds during the game, and the
Providence batsmen could not connect
with Callarthan's speedy delivery. The
home team got a run in the second in
ning on wild throws by Shannon, and
Callahan, and there was a battle royal
U even men on bases after that to the
eighth inning. Lovett had been sick
four days, and tie lacked speed. His
flow ball was easier to gunge In the
gloom, and in the sixth Inning the
Ponies began to tat It freely. Gilbert
tied the score on ai home run fly. Lynch
cracked out a two-bagger and stole
t'hlrd. McAuIey made a wild throw to
cut blm off at third and he went home.
' Three bases on balls and a hit, with a
sacrifice by Callahan, figured in making
' two more runs for Springfield in the
seventh. Ir -the eighth a homer by
Callahan with Scheffter on first base
made the total score for Springfield six.
With two out in the ninth the Grays
filled tlx? bases, and them Callahan
truck out McAuIey. Attendance, 2,600.

- Buffalo played a burlesque game this
afternoon. Ned Crane was wofully
out of trim, and the visitor landed on
blm at will for three innings, knocking
the ball to all parts of the field. After
Roohester had lost tbe game througto
Crane's weakness, a local amateur
named Otdfleld, by occupation an un-
dertaker, volnteered In his place and
pitched the game out. Wadsworth

DIAMOND DUST.
It Is Miller's turn to pitch today.
Syracuse has won only aeven of the six
teen games played with Rochester.
Providence and Springfield have each
won nine of .the eighteen games bectween
them.
Dan Shannon will not manage Washing
ton next season, all reports-to the cou
trary notwithstanding.
Pitcher M'.llcr and Shortxtop Sweeney
will be let go provided belter material can
be secured to fill their places during the
balance of the season.
Soranton has not done well, but the
club has a bttter percentage than Roches
ter or Toronto, the other two clubs that
are for the first year in the leaKue.
An effort has been made to secure Pitch
er Mullarkey, of the Wah;nKton club
of the National league, to finish the sea
son with Soranton, but he cannot obtain
his release.
The probabilities are that the season
will end with 'the clubs occupying the
same positions as at .present. The only
chance likely to occur Is a change of po
s.tions between Wllkes-Barre and Syia
cuse. At a meeting of the Soranton Base Ball
club directors lat night all were present,
Secretary McKee excepted. The princi
ple business of the meetuig was a con
sideration of the Luby suspeimion. It
was decided to continue the suspension
for the balance of tho season and to pug
sibly "farm" the pitcher to a New York
smi-profeslonal club that has made ap
plication for him.

LEONARD'S FOIL FIGHTING.
Causes Ills Own Arrest Well a tbe Ar
rest of George Dixon and Several Other
Sports. - v-
Concerning Monday night'f tout be
tween "Mike" Leonard and Ueorge
Dixon and which was stopped on ac
count of Leonard's foul tactics, the
New York Herald says: The boxing
tournament held by the National Ath
letic club in the Academy of Music last
night ended In a disgraceful row, as a
result of which the police Jumped on the
ctage and arrested "Parson" Davles
and "Tirni" O'Hourke, the managers of
the exhibition, George Dixon, champion
featherweight of the world, 'l.VIIke"
Leonard, a Brooklyn pugilist, who baa
gained for himself the sobriquet of "The
Fashion Plate," and "Joe Uordun, one
of Dixon's seconds.
The cause of the trouble was the foul
work of Leonard In ' his bout with
Dixon.. They were down on the bills to
spar four scientific rounds. 'l.MIke" evi
dently forgot what little he ever Knew
about science, for be aoon developed a
desire to slug, and this resulted in the
how being broug-ht to an abrupt ter
mination. Leonard Bsoom.s Angry.
When the fight began Dixon was the
affgreasor, leading off with a stiff left
hand twins; on Leonard's body. "The
Fashion Plate" did not relish this, and
be made a vicious swing at the colored
champion. The latter ducked cleverly,
escaping the blow and again swung hli
left heavily on Leonard's body.
Leonard was wild with rage, and he
grabbed Dixon and threw him forcibly
against the ropes, and wblle the cham
pion lay on tbe ropes Leonard hit him
several times and then clinched. Ref
eree "Tank" Sullivan ordered Leonard
to break away,, but 'M4e': positively
reiusea to ao so. it was omv after a.
sevete strumlt that ulllvaa -was able
to separate tbe boys. When they did
break away Leonard again tried to
rush Dixon to tbe ropes, but the colored
boy waa wary and met Leonard with
a terrlfto left band swing on tbe Jaw,
staggering blm. The champion, quick
to take advantage of bis opponent's
groggy condition, again smashed him
on tbe Jaw and body, and this closed
tho round.
In the second round Leonard came
out of his corner with blood in bis eye
and started to force moHers with a
vengence. After bitting Dixon on tbe
Jaw with bla wrist he clinched and re
fused to break. The referee tried hard
to part t.tem. but failed, and s Leon
ard waa gradually forcing Dixon to the
Ituor "Tom" U'Rourke Jumped Into the
ring to protect the colored boy. 'Leon
ard was using bis elbow and shoulder
vigorously at the time .giving one of
the foulest exhibitions of fighting wit
nessed in the ring In a long time.
Pol I oo clear the king.
U'Rourke's appearance in the ring
was like waving a red Hag before a bull
to Irf-ouard's adherents'. By this time
the bouse waa in an uproar. Men
Jumped on the seats and shouted.
Kverhnrt and Ueorge Turner then took
a hand in the proceedings and friends
of Leonard and Dixon on the stage
were struggling toward the roped
arena, and a ifree light seemed Immin
ent. At this point Acting Inspector Oort
rlght appeared on the ecenu with a
doxt'ti policemen and ordered them to
clear the house and place the principals
and the managers of the tournament
under arrest. Tbe crowd tiled peace
fully out of the building, while the light
ers were escorted to their dressing
rooms, iwhcre they donned street attire.
Dixon. Leonard, U'Rourke, Davles and
Gordon iwcre then conveyed In a patrol
wagvm. which bad been summoned, to
the KaJt Twenty-second street station.
They were released on ball furnished
by President Rellly and "Dave" Hol
land, of the gueens County Jockey
club., after upending an hour In the
cells.
DEFENDER BACKS DOWN.
Her Skippers Bored Not Finish the First
Trial Race with tho Vlgllant-Brceie
Was Too Stiff for the Now Dost.
Britishers Jubilant.
New York, Aug. 20. The first of the
trial races to decide wether the De
fender or the Vigilant shall be selected
to defend the America's cup, which was
sailed here today, resulted in a disap
pointment all around. The Defender,
after outsailing heir rival decisively
over the first round, and continuing to
Increase her lead for several miles on
the second, suddenly withdrew from the
race and stood off for a mm back to her
anchorage. This was, dun apparently,
to a disinclination to 'risk the sloop fur
ther In the strong and pteadlly Increas
ing breeze which had blown up since
the race started.
Mr. Isellii and the others on the De
fender would not admit that a mishap
had occurred and there was no indica
tions of any. This made the BrWIahers,
who were watching the contest with
eagerness, only the more Jubilant, as
It looked very much like a backdown,
and they believe the Valkrle III can
stand near any kind of weather.
Vigilant keeps Her Course.
After the Defender's retreat the Vigi
lant kept sturdily on her course, beat
ing up Tnto a forty-mile iwlnd and
pounding through a rolling and tumb
ling sea. Even after she had split her
new HerreshofC Jib she ran ahead, and In
a few minutes continued sticking to her
work. When she had completed about
three-quarters of the second windward
beat she was recalled by the Judges,
who assured Mr. Wlllard that the race
was ended and the Vigilant was the
winner.
Yachtsmen are feeling rather glum
tonight over the result of the race, as
it would seem to show a weakness In
the Defender In the one Important
point In which she had been thoroughly
tested. The experts had been express
ing the hope all along that In the trial
races the Defender would have a chance
to show what she could do In a stiff
wind. If she Is to turn out too tender
for such work, It is not a hopeful augury
for her races in September's gales with
the stanch and broad-beamed Valkyrie.
The Vlgllant's victory will not neces
sarily affect the Defender's claim to
represent America In the coming races.
BICYCLE MANIACS.,
Persons of Both Sexes Have Wheels In
Their Heads.
. People who have nut the faculty of
great enthusiasm for any sport can
never understand how absorbing wheel
ing becomes to many of its votaries,
says a Chicago writer. We have heard
of a cycling minister of the gospel, who
declared It to be one of the mistakes
of the Creator that men were not born
With wheels.
Not long ago the newspapers printed
the letter of a woman who had desert
ed her husband. He was found by the
doctors to be Buffering from ibluychlorls,
and was prohibited from riding, under
penalty of death. She confessed her
self a bleychlomanlac, declared her
wheel was dearer to her than her hus
band or any object under heaven, and
she could no longer bind (herself to one
who could not spend bis -waking hours
on the wheel. iMorphomanla, nor any
other habit, will compare with this for
Intensity.
One has only to converse with a con
firmed and Inveterate wheeler to be
convinced of the maniacal 'possibilities
of the habit. It da very difficult to
arouse him to any Interest In anything
else. No matter what subject Is
broached, his mind will wander away
from it and back to bis wheel. We
seem to be only at the beginning of a
mania that Is to be more widespread
and deep-seated than ever was base
ball. Kacb year the number of wheel
men doubles, and the proportion of
scorchers, those who have wheels In
their heads as well as under them, may
be expected to Increase, In a higher
ratio;
Scorching Is the outward and obvious
symptom of blcychlomanla, and by this
sign are the Incurables to be distin
guished from the rational creatures,
who use the wheel In moderation as a
pleasure, or for Us practical utility.

TAKEN FROM SHAKESPEARE.
Many of Onr Current Americanisms Have
an Illustrious Origin.
Henry Catoot Lodge,- la Harper's,
shows, by examples from Shakespeare
himself, that many of the so-oalled
Americanisms are survivals of a usage
ouirsn at the period whan luuntaration
began from Old to New England. The
word "guess," for example, was. In
Shakespeare's time, used In England in
the colloquial sense that now attaches
to It In America, and examples are mul
tiplied in Mr. Lodge's article. Mr.
Lodge says. In part:
Leaving legitimate words, and turn
ing to tbe children of the street and
the market-place, we find some curious
examples, not only of American slang,
but of slang which la regarded aa ex
tremely fresh and modern. Mr. Bran
der 'Matthews, in his most Interesting
artkse on that subject, has already
pointed out t hat a "deck of cards" la
tfhakespert'an. In Henry VI. (Third
Part, Act V., Scene I.) Gloucester says,
"But while he thought to steal the sin
gle tenv
The king waa slyly Angered from the
deck."
Mir. 'Mu'tthaws has also cited a still
more remarkable example of recent
slang from the tionnets, of all places in
the work, where "tiro out" Is used In
t he exact colloquial sense of to-day. lit
occurs in the 144th Sonnet,
"Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live In
doubt
Till my bad angel fire my good one
out."
"Square," in the sense of fair or hon
est, and the verb "to be square," In the
sene to be fair or honest, are thought
modern, and are now so constantly used
that they have well nigh passed beyond
the boundaries of slang. If they do ao.
It Is but a return to their old place, for
Shakespeare has this use of the word,
and in serious passages. In Tlmon of
Athens Act V., Scene V.) the First
Senator says,
. "All have not offended:
r?or those that were. It is not square to
take
On those that are, revenges."
In Antony and Cleopatra (Act II.,
Scene II.) iMecaenas says, "She's a most
triumphant lady, if report be square to
her."
"In the soup," to express defeat and
disaster, is apparently very recent,
and ytit It Is singularly like the language
of Pompey In Measure for -Measure
(Ant III., Scene II.), when he says,
"Troth, sir, she hath eaten up all her
beef, and she Is herself In the tub."
Even more recent than "In the soup"
is the use of the word "stuffed," to de
note contemptuously what may be most
nearly described as large and ineffec
tive pretentiousness. But In Much Ado
about Nothing (Act I., Scene I.) the
Messenger says, "A lord to a lord, a
man to a man; atuffed with aN honor
able virtues." To which Beatrice re
plies, "It Is so, indeed; be la no less
than a stuffed 'man: but for the stuffing,
Well, we ace all mortal." Here Bea
uses the phrase "stuffed man" In con
contempt, catching up the word of the
messenger. "Flapjack," perhaps. Is
hardly to be called slang, but it Is cer
tainly an American phrase for a grld-dle-cake.
We must have brought It
with us, however, from Shakespeare's
England, for thore It Is In Pericles (Act
II., 8;;ene I.), where the Grecian very
Grecian fisherman says, "Come, thou
Shalt go home, and we'll 'have flesh for
holidays. Ash for fasting days, and
moreo'er puddings and flapjacks; and
thou shalt be welcome."
Two on Julian Ralph.
Julian Ralph's picture had the place
of honor in the June Book Buyer, and
E. D. Beach writes to tell of the dis
tinguished persons Mr. Ralph has met,
and of Che curious experiences he has
had. I recall a meeting with one per
son, be says, not especially diaUn
gulFbied. M r. R alph we rot to report some
gathering on the East Side, and met a
large German of serious demeanor at
tbo door. "Excuse me," eaild Ralph.
"I'm a reporter for the Sun." "Veil,"
was the reply, "you can't help dot."
And Ralph has been wondering ever
since whether his Interlocutor was real
ly as serious as his appearance Indicat
ed. I have also heard from Mr. Ralph
that when he went to China ho pre
pared himself very rarefully In pigeon
English, which he bad been told he
would find useful, and on discovering a
Chinese In his bedroom at a hotel In
Shanghai remarked: ".Hello! What
ting? What fashion man you b'long?
What side you come?" To which the
Chinese replied: "This 1s Mr. Ralph. I
presume. We have mutual friends w-ho
suggested my calling on you. Oh! that's
nil right. I spewt eight years at school
In Norwich, Conn." "Ah!" said Mr.
Ralph, partially recovering his pres
ence of mind, "vely well, vely well!"
Daneroft's Memory.
Frank Bancroft's memory always
falls him when he unexpectedly meets
a chance acquaintance. He knows that
tbe face Is familiar, but when and
where he has seen It Is a riddle. This
particular weakness has placed him in
more than one embarrassing situation.
The other day he saw in a street car a
girl whom he was perfectly sure he had
met often before. He sat down beside
the young woman, who was evidently
flattered by the attention. Chatting
away with her in a lively fashion, he
aoon discovered that they knew the
same people. Accordingly he was con
fident that be had been Introduced to
her at the house of some Crlend. Ban
croft thought she was a very pleasant
girl, and one who showed him marked
respect. Consequently he took courage
and said:
"Oh, Miss er er, t beg pcrdon, but I
should like to call on you. Won't you
tell me where you live?"
She looked up In a startled way.
"Why, Mr. Bancroft, don't you know
trie? I'm your mother's waltirets!"
And Frank, with a crestfallen air,
walked out of the car. Chicago Trib

A prize for "the best original history

Some Events of tbe Day on the Vest
Side of the City Noted.
AN ADDRESS BY BAKD I'EDROG
Reception Will its Tendered to Him To
night in ths TsbernsBlo Chureh on
South Hyde Park Avenue-Convention
of K O. S. of A. Todsy.
tThs West Bide Interests of The Trlbuns
have, been placed in the hands of Emer
son Owen, to whom all news announce
ments and complaints may bs addressed.J
Itev. J. O. Williams. "Pedrog,"
preached a forcible sermon lost eve
ning In the First Welsh Congregational
church, on North Main avenue. A
large crowd greeted the reverend bard,
and was pleased with the gentleman's
sermonising. This evening a big recep
tion will be given to Mr. Williams in the
Tabernacle church on South Hyde Park
avenue, at which "Pedrog" will be for
mally seated In the bardic chair, which
he won at the Llanelly eisteddfod, by
the Welsh llterateurs uf the valley.
A great time Is anticipated and music,
wit and eloquence Is being stored up
for .the event. Mr. Williams will speak
and the meeting will be presided over
by a West Side minister. Thursday
evening 'Mr. Williams will preach In the
Fta-st Welsh Baptist Church, and on
Friday evening the eminent divine will
address a Taylor congregation.
West Side Progression.
That the Robinson street paving dif
ficulty has 'been successfully bridged
over by our prosperity pushers is evi
dent In the latest movement of the
city engineer and the West Side board
of trade, assisted by councllmen. The
plan to purchase a 'few feet from the
properties on the western side of the
intersection of Robinson and Ninth
Streets meets every requirement. This
will give a wide road 'bed and will do
this without incurring damage suits
against the city by grasping land own
era. That forsaken plan! to fill in Ninth
street to the level of Robinson, at the
Intersection and southward, was short
lived. The plan was Impossible In Ms
Intended result, and one common coun
cilman went as far to say that his
body passed the ordinance only in, cour
tesy to Mr. Nealis. Robinson street will
be paved with brick, according to re
cent developments. The 'board con
cluded to do the thing rightly, and brick
will be substituted for the Intended
stone. Now under the regime of th
new Traction company manager, atten
tion is called to the bad effect of the
old management. If Lackawanna ave
nue hill Is not to be used by the street
car company, then It should be com
pelled to take up Its tracks at that
points. North Main avenue, ifrom Pet
tlbone to Hull's Head, Is in almost Im
passable condition for vehicular traf
fic. A well-known horseman uf this
side states that for a distance which
would ordlnarllly take five minutes to
ride thrice that number is passed In
the trip from Providence to this aide.
A Good Crowd and a Good Tims.
At far-famed 'Mountain Park, on
August 28, the young people connected
with the iBaptlst Union, of the Lacka
wanna valley, will assemble with their
friends and spend a day In the moun
tain air. Several thousand people are
expected to be present, from the nu
merous points In the valley, and the
(financial results 'willl neceR?a)ily be
large. Several addresses will be made
at the park, one by Rev. W. 8. Jones, of
the First Welsh Baptist church. The
leading spirits of the movement are
residents or the West Side, and the
greater part of the excursionists will
leave this section.
