TIIB SCBANTON TBIB itjne- -8ATUBDAY MORNING. AUGUST 24, 1805. Latest Events in f BASE BALL. At A went meeting of the directors of the Scranton Base Ball association there waa considerable discussion, of next aeason'a plana ami the direcoca were unit on continuing Billy Karnae as bwu. There seems to be no In tention of veiling the association stock to outelde pairtlmr, but the present own era will conduct 4 ho club next season. Player for im will be reserved as soon a the present aeaeon closes, Manager Barnte ha this year had the Mine trials and troubles whfah always come to a manager during Ms first year with a new club. A centaln ele ment h orMlclxed Mm but the most weighty argument in -his avor Is" that the owners of the club are satisfied with Mm and will wlhout doubt retain him for next eason. It has been the rule In the base ball taueinesx that new clut In a league fin. t?h among the lat division In the rave. Toronto. Rochester and Scranton are new clubs in the Eastern league, and of the three Sonaniton, has made the beet record and has a reasonable otytnoe of beating Buffalo out and landing fifth among eight olube. This result Is really better than might hare been ex pected when Is considered the fuot that Serawton players were not signed until two or three month before the season opened, white the other cluhs secured players at the em of Vast season, Soon after the scheduled games begun the club was handlcaipped by the dis covery that Whitehead, Houle. Sweeney and PUtehen would not do. and lateir Brady. Kadford. and Quarles had to be given 'their releases. There would have been no such disappointments If a team to represent this city had been reserved last year, but ft U to (Manager Bar nle's credit that thf club has done so well. HI financial ability has kept the profit and loss account very evenly balanced, which Is an added reason that Influences the association to re tain Mm. Considering all the discouraging dr cunvtances Manager Ramie has had to contend against, he has don all that could have been expected of him. and It is a safe prediction that If he Is con tinued at the head of the club, Scranton will give Its competitors a lively hustle for the pennant In 1S96. The Scranton club's weekly record of evames lost and won and gain and' loss in percentage since Saturday, Aug. 17. shows that they have lost twice as many games as they have won, and that the net loss is .015 per cent.

Some of the Japanese women have adopted a queer bicycle costume that Is a combination of the bloomers with the na tive dress. - The report that Willie Wlndle would re sume track work proves to be true, for Wlndle has closed his negotiation with Berlo, of Boston, and wMI secure that riders complete outfit of multi-cycle for pace making. Wlndle wilt attack old Father Time In his usual thorough manner this fall. An electric bicycle lamp Is now being In troduced into New York city, The lamp Is provided with a current from a storage battery, which furnishes sufficient current to actuate the lamp for about twenty hours. Thetotal weight of the lamp and battery ta about two and one-half pounds. The battery can be recharged at author ised agents' stores for tea cents each. Wheelmen in East Orange are Indignant at the treatment they receive at the hands of the poUae At a meeting of the own- h? World ship committee last week Mr. Coyne said: "Wheelmen are a large and constantly gaining iwrt'.on of our population. They are very powerful in this section of the state, and we must recognise them." A. W. Evans, of New Brunswick, N. J., did not break the world's bicycle record of W miles in 4wenty-four hours Monday. He made 270 miles n nlneteea hours, and then stopped, owing to vlolnitt chlls. The road was in lirst-class condition, and Mr. Evans had every hone of completing his task. He was greatly handicapped by a strong breese and by wagons at night. He rode his llrst twenty miles in one huur, and forty-one miles In two hours and live min utes, A ripple of Interest was awakened along the bimlest section of Broadway Wednes day afternoon by 4he spectacle of a uni formed messenger mounted on a brlichl red tricycle wagon. Truck drivers cracked their whips above hts head, but the agile messenger durtVd with surprising speed and conlldence through the labyrinth of cars and drays and wagons, outdistancing all other vehicles In short order. The sur prise tli at his advent created will prob ably soon be a thing of the past, since the evident success of tbe novel vehicle will cause Its introduutlou Into many branches of trade. ODDS AND ENDS OF SPORT. Arrangements have been completed by the Sioux City Fair association for a race bi tween Joe I'utohrn and John It. Gentry eicptember 27 for a stake of tl.il a side, fct.UUV to be added by the assodutlon. The steel spars of Valkyrie III, wrlch were brought over in the Furncssla, are the first of their kind which have been bul!t foi s great racl.tug yacht. They aro hollow and hence lighter than vuo..l. A week ago the Futurty was conceited ta be between Handspring ami Hastings, but In the intervening time Axiom, Applexate, Requital. Haslet and Refugee have come to th front and have a strong folowln(. J. II. Tyres, of the Osborne stub. Man chester, England, again wdn the ull-Kim-and 440 yards swimming championship, off the Island of Jersey, swimming the dis tance in minutes s 4-5 seconds, which breaks all tidal records. According to Mayor Holtatid, ot Dallas, Texas, who was Interviewed W New York on Sunday, there will be no interference with the Corbett-Fttxslmwons mutch, as there Is no law to prevent It. There la at present a law to prevent "physical cul ture contests," but an amendment of the last lealslatun will render It void after midnight August 31, It Is currently rumored at Austin. Texas, that Oovrt.or Culberson, in order to be on the safe side and prevent the Dulns glove contest beyond peradventure. has about decided to arrest both Corbett and Fits Simmons imtned'ately on their appearance In the state for training purposes. There may be nothing in the rumor, but it la credited by some. From Gravesend comes the word that Handspring is nothing like as good a colt as he was n the spring, and that Axiom, his stable companion, ran hat him doing anything. Those who saw the rolt's work no later than two days ago say that he was all strung out in going three-quarters of a mile In I.1714. This would have only been play for Handspring under ordinary cir cumstances. Managers of New York tracks, aside from "Old Fleetwood.." are taking a gloomy view of the situation. C. J. Ham lin said on Monday: "The racing busineis Is practically dead in this state, and it Is a pity, for It affects a class that knows no other business. Even the poor 'swipes' are In a pitiable condition, and there is isn't .1 day but they are begging for something to do In order to keep them alive. I am afraid all the big trucks will be closed next year." ' Althoug the list of probable starters for the Futurity furnished by the Coney Island Jockey club reaches a total of more than thirty, it Is altogether likely that not more than fifteen candidates will go to the post on Saturday next. A num ber of owners have been feeding them selves upon the Idea, that they have Fu turity material In their stables, hut when It comes to the day of the race there will be an awakening, and a emnlor field than usual will assemble for the signal which will make somebody 107,000 the rlnber. A lending English athletic authow, .ys that it Is very doubtful whethel 4 Lon don Athletic club will send a team to America to compete with a similar team from the New York Athletic club. All the meetings that have been held by the com mittee appointed by the London Athletic club to select a team have been very stormy. To add to the troubles of the committee, several of the athletes selected to represent the club in America have now declined to go. E. C. Bredin, who was to have taken part in the 400 yard and 880 yard races, sent a letter to the committee on Saturday, in which he stated he would not go with the team. F. E. Bacon, who was slated for the one mile and three mile runs, and Dr. W. J. M. Barry, the Irish hammer thrower, also say they will no go. TODAY'S RACES.

From the New York Tribune. Here Is a tragic as well as pathetic, picture showing something of the hard, barren lives of the children of the poor, not only In New York, but In other great cities: Henry Bauer, 8 years old, living In Front street, was found dead in bed on Wednesday night by his father, who came home from work at 8 o'clock. The lad's death was pathetic. His mother died four months ago and the father was not willing to send his chil dren to any Institution. .Henry and his two sisters, both younger than himself, kept house as best they could. They were lonely without their mother and little Henry, who assumed charge of the little girls, worried and pined over his hard lot. There was no escaping It, however, and every day he gave them their dinner, kept them as tidy as possible, and wondered If he should ever have a good time again. Wednesday afternoon he told Mrs. Welgand, a neighbor who had shown a fondness for him, that his head ached badly. i "I guess I'm going to be sick, Mrs. Welgand." said he, "and mamma Isn't here to take care of me. Who'll care of of them?" he asked, his eyes filling with tears and his face growing paler. Mrs. Welgand told him to lie down and rest and his little sisters would be taken care of all right. "When you wake up your headache will be gone," said she, good humor edly. He crawled into bed with his clothes on and went to sleep, and when he woke up It was with his "mother." When his father called hts name at 8 o'clock there was no response. "Henry's asleep, papa," said the youngest child. The father lighted the gas and went to the bedside of the motionless boy. One look t the pale face showed him that little Henry's complainings had been well founded. Death Is supposed to have been due to some brain trouble.. II E HAD AM ENGAGEMENT. The young man had returned from his vacation. He was speaking of his visit to the west, and remarked that Indiana was a good place. "Yes, that's a great country, out (there nice people," said the fat man. "There was only one thing that marred the peaceful ness of the occa sion;" continued the young roan, "that old snipe trick, yeu know." "Caught you, did they?" said the ex hoosler, who was sitting on the edge of the porch. "That was a great Joke when I was young used to catch every tenderfoot that came that way." "So we did," chimed in the fat man. ''How funny It was to leave the un suspecting galoot in the middle of the woods with a bag and candle, watting for us to drive the birds up to li Inl and then go home." iSo they caught you, did they?" and they both laughed again. "It really was no laughing matter, I assure you. It was this way: I was ap proached by several of my friends up there amd consented to accompany them nn a snipe hunt. As the guest of honor, I was delegated to bold the sack." "Ha, ha," nickered the fat man, "They gave me a candle also," went on l'h.3 narrator, without noticing the Interruption. "Then the other mem bers of the pai.ty left, to drive In the snipe." The fat man slapped his knee. "And you stayed there till morning?" "No; Juft as they went out of sight I remembered an engagement to be in a neighboring town next day, which nec essitated my taking an early train. I carefully concealed the sack and walked to the sMtlon. about two miles distant, where I found my grip, and took an up-bound train. "I afterwaird fheaird that my friends conducted a search for my remains, and were fearful they would be held respon sible fur my disappearance. Of course," concluded the young man, as he arose, "I explained the matter several weeks later by letter, and expressed my re grets at being compelled to leave at the height of the festivities, so to speak."
