THE LATTER HAD A WALKOVER
Champion Jim Said Ground Was la No
Condition and That lie Was Not
Accustomed to Playing In the
Kind of Alley laed.
James J. Corbett, the champion pu
gilist of the world, accompanied by ills
wife and brother, Joseph Corbett, ar
rived In the city yesterday afternoon.
James and Joseph came here to play
three twenty-one-polnt names of hand
ball with John R leu by nnd Thomns
Dove at the Driving park. The Cor
betts were no match for the local play
ers, and lost oil three games. The
ground was soft from the rain, and
the champion refused to exert him
self. Immodlatelyon the arrival of theCor
betts In the city tlu-y proceeded to the
St. Omrles hotel, where Air. and Mrs.
Corbett were assigned to room 63. Mrs.
CVrbett, to whom the champion was
married nt Asbury l'urk after the ball
game In which he participated In this
city three weeks nt;o. Is u tall, hand
some blonde, who dresses with good
taste, nnd Is evidently very much in
love with Corbett.
She remained In her room during
the greater part of the time she was In
the city, save when she went to the
Driving l'urk to witness the hand bull
contest. At 1.40 this morning Mr. and
Mrs. Corbett and brother, Joe, left for
Washington, where the latter will
pitch today for tho Washington Na
tional league team.
CorhcttH Hnslly Itofeatcd.
James J. Corbett has appeared In
Serunton at various time as a pugilist
and actor since he became the world's
champion. About two weeks ago- he
donned the uniform of the Bcruntoii
club, and helped them to win a game
from HntTulo. He has always been
successful In those ventures here fin
ancially and otherwise, but yesterday
ho assumed a new role, that of a hand
ball player, and, together with his
brother Joe, engaged in a match gumo
of that very active Fiort at the Driv
ing park grounds with John Hlckaby
and Thomas Dove, local players.
Throe frames of twenty-one points
each constituted the contests. They
were easily won by the local players,
who could have made more points If It
iv..re necessary, nnd prevented the
Corbetts from scoring as often as they
did. Twenty-live hundred persons
saw the athletes shift about on the
muddy court until all three games
were finished, when the pluyors- legs
and hands were thoroughly bespat
tered with mud, and the audience
drenched with rain.
Location or tho Alley.
The wall of the alley was erected In
front of the grandstand ho as to afford
the people seated there a good view,
but the majority of the spectators
crowded about the court and were
more Interested In sizing up the cham
pion's physical developments than in
the sclentllic points of the game.
Corbett Bays that their opponents
are good players, and that he was at
a disadvantage on account of the style
of alley played on.
He is accustomed to an alley with
side walls and besides claims that he
has always played on a hard ground
which makes the ball bound and re
bound readily. A turf ground, like the
one at the Driving park, does not pos
sess that advantage. Then again the
rain softened the ground to such an
extent that It was impossible to play
good hand ball.
The champion did not exert himself
very much on this account, but his
brother put forth his beHt efforts to
win and made some brilliant plays.
KicKaDy lias consented to r ay Cor
bett on his own alley at Asbury park
soon. The scores were 21-0, 21-1, 21-19.
Will Go Into Training.
Corbett was seen at the St. Charles
last evening by a Tribune reporter.
and was In a very pleasant frame of
mind, notwithstanding his defeat.
After explaining the causes which pre
vented him from making . a better
showing, he declared that he had every
confidence his fight with Fitzsimmons
would be allowed to take place in
Texas.
"I will go Into training at once, and
have every confidence that I will be
able to win the fight. Tonight I start
for Washington, where I will watch
my brother Joe pitch for the Washing
ton club. Tomorrow and Saturday
nights 1 play In Baltimore, and on
Sunday I am billed to take part In a
base ball game at Newark, N. J.
"After that I will go to Asbury Park,
and begin training lor my match with
FitzslmmonB. I will remain thc-re
three weeks, and then proceed to San
Antonio, Texas, where I will do the
remainder of the training."
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS.
Stock of Martin Dclaney Mnst Be Dis
posed of In That Period.
On Saturday will begin the greatest
clothing sale in the 'history of the city.
It will not be one of the regulation
closing out sales known to the trade,
but a real, bona tide article.
Martin &. Delany's Immense stock of
clothing was sold under the sheriff's
hammer to satisfy the claims of execu
tion creditors. Cash must be realized
on these goods at once, and therefore a
real closing out sale will be Inaugurat

to 60 per cent, below cost.
The general line- of clothing carried
by Martin & Delany was not excelled
in the city. It contains everything In

varied stock to choose from. The store

avenue.
WAR IN THE KITCHEN.
Tempest In a Ton pot In a Prospeet
. Avenue Tenement.
Soon before supper time Saturday
evening. last Thomas Crampton, of
Prospect avenue, had a lively tussle
with John Munley, who lives In the
same house; In fact, owns It, Crampton
being a tenant, occupying the upstairs.
iMunley was on his way to the cooking
kljtchen with a teapot to brew a pot of
English 'Ureakfast for himself,, when
Crampton came across the lot.
Munley called his tenant to account
for breaking a post and he advised
Crampton not to repeat the offense.
Crampton struck the teapot and sent
It over In a neighbor's yard; Muniey
resented by retaliating on Crampton's
jaw, and their wives came out and
joined In the fray.
Alderman 'Donovan Issued warrants
sworn out by both parties, but at the
hearing the, suits were quashed , by
Crampton's agreeing to find another
house. Munley did not want to have
him around any longer,

THEY ARE BOO KG S0TH
Ei-Judge's Friends Kant t State
Nomination for Him.
SUPERIOR. COURT THE OFFICE
Say That lie Will Be Nominated at the
State Convention Which Meets In
Willlameport Sept. 1 1 -Names
of tbe Local Delegates.
"Kx-Judge P. P. Smith will be one
of the Democratic candidates for judge
of the superior court," said a well
known Deuiocrut to a Tribune reporter
yesterday.
"Has he announced his candidacy?"
queried the reporter.
"No, I do not think that he has In
so many words, but his friends who
broached the matter to him are now
at work In his In teres ts, from which I
draw the conclusion that he has no
Berlous objections to allowing his name
to go before the state convention at
Wllllamsport, Sept. 11. There Is one
Democrat sure to be elected and Judge
Smith's friends think that he may be
the fortunate one. At all events they
believe it is worth while making an
en'ort In his behalf.
'The nomination they say will be ac
corded to him when the leaders of the
party get together to make up a slate
before the. convention. This part of
the state will demand a place on the
ticket and that demand will undoubt
edly be recognized, for the Lackawanna
Democrats are uot without Influence
In the state convention.
"The place having been accorded
Judge Smith will be brought forward
as the unanimous choice of the Demo
crats of this and adjoining counties for
the place and bo noiuliiuted without
difficulty, of course there are u num
ber of little things that might arise to
defeat this plan, but at present there
seems to reason that I can see why It
should not go through. The Judge's
defeats In this county, I do not think,
would weaken him In a state fight."
Muke I'p of tho Court.
The superior court Is made up of
seven Judges, and, according to the
act creating it, there can be no more
than six of one party on the bench;
the minority party must be represented
by one judge, and he will be the one
who receives the highest number of
votes of the 'Democratic nominees, as
suming that the six Itepubllcun judges
will be elected, which Is altogether
probable. Each party entitled to a
place on the official ballot Is privileged
to nominate six candidates for the
judgeship.
When the smoke of the battle clears
away and the vote is counted the seven
highest candidates will be the judges
for the next ten years. The present
Democratic member of the court Is
Judge Henry J. 'MoCurthy, of Phila
delphia, who was appointed to the po
sition by Governor Hastings.
Nine delegates will represent Lacka
wanna county In the Democratic state
convention; It will assemble at Wll
llamsport on Wednesday, Sept. 11.
The names of the delegates are; First
legislative district, Postmaster Frank
M. Vantlllng and Peter J. McCnnn;
Second district, Charles H. Schadt,
John E. Roche and Edward Robinson;
Third district, James O. Bailey;
Fourth district. Attorney T. J. Dug
gan, of Dunmore; J. F. McDonnell, of
Curbondale, and J. AV. O'Brien, of
Olyphant.
Want tho Colonel's F.lnqncnee.
Although he Is not a delegate to the
convention It is said that Colonel F. J.
Fitzsimmons will go to the Wllllams
port convention as a proxy, and muke
tho speech nominating Judge Smith.
Judgo Smith's friends do not figure
out his election on the strength of
any defection In the Republican ranks,
but estimate that he can carry a ma
jority In the race among his colleagues
on the Democratic ticket.
ROCHESTER WANTS HIM.
Physical Director Weston Has Received

Christian association of Rochester, N.
