what the llnal rating will be.
Baltimore has played 108 games and
Springfield, In the minor league, 107.
The percentage of the former Is 7 per
cent, behind that - or the latter, but
Springfield has less than a dosen games
yes to finish. None of the Eastern
league scores ran above six yesterday.
When we consider also that one of the

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
The first four clubs in the National
league won yesterday and the last
three lost, thus widening the already
large gap that had existed between
them. New York suffers an over
whelming defeat at the hands of Cleve
land, -but Brooklyn across the river
turns the tables on iPlttsburg by a
very decisive victory. Waxmngton
played two names with Cincinnati and
won and lost. This is the third time

DIAMOND DUST.
Shortstop Sweeney Is not hitting the
ball.
Pitcher Miller Is not fast enough for the
Eastern league.
The Injury to Johnson leaves Scranton
without u. solitary reliable pitcher.
When Pltw Ward was taken out of the
games at Syracuse Thursday for calling
Umpire Geer "a robber and a loafer," he
was succeeded at second by Pitcher
Brodie.
Manager Irwin, of the Phillies, has
signed Arthur Madison, captain of the
Cooperstown, N, Y., team. He Is said to
be a good hitter and a fine Infielder and
Will be given a trial at short.
Before Manager Selee, of Boston, will
agree to manage the New Yorks, he has a
few conditions to make. He wants to
have absolute control of the New York
team, both on and off the field. He wishes
to be able tt make whatever changes he
may deem necessary In the make-up of
the team, and also desires the right to
sign or release players at his own discre
tion. In other words, he 1s ambitious to
have as much power at New York as Han
Ion has at Baltimore, for without It he
claims that success would be Impossible.
Selee also wants a contract for three
years at least, so that he can be assured
that time to build up a championship
team.

ing they were halted by custom officers

warded to the collector before he found
It was necessary for htm to answer.
This answer came soon after the time
the oarsmen should have arrived, and
was as follows:
Suspension Bridge, N. Y., Sept. 6.
M. E. Sanders, Scranton. Pa.:
Toronto oarsmen left here by morning
train for your place. E. 8. Nichols,
Deputy Collector.
The delay, however, made the oars
men miss Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western connection at Buffalo, and
they did not reach here until 1.35 o'clock
this morning. They will go to the lake
during the morning.
The Metropolitans arrived last night,
at the lake; the Philadelphia contin
gent get there at 2.30 this afternoon by
special from Lackawanna and Blooms

Davis' Condition Is Aerioas.
ddle Davis, the lad who was crimin
ally assaulted by "Jimmy" Dean, Is
more seriously Injured than at first an
ticipated. The lad Is suffering much,
though unconsciousness relieves the
pain, and the attack took such a seri
ous form, owing to the lad's precarious
condition, that a warrant has been
Issued for Dean's arrest, and officers
are on the lookout. The criminal has
been seen by several persons and Is un
doubtedly In the community. He was
at Briggs' shaft yesterday morning.

the event Is promised to occur at 8.30
o'clock at the street car barn. On
Wednesday evening City Engineer
Phillips Inspected the Casey fender,
and the owner states that the official
was enthusiastic In his support of It.
Mr. Casey says that Mr. Phillips ac
knowledged that the Casey fender was
superior to the other fenders used by
tha company. City Engineer Phillips
was to have the eompany furnish a car
for experiment. Casey was at the
Traction company office yesterday, and
after a half-hour conversation with
Manager Slllimaa tht butter promised ta
try the fender this morning. Casey has
hired a dray and will have bis Invention
ready. The Inventor claims that two
of the fenders now In use by the Trac
tion company have been condemned by
the authorities of Brooklyn and Balti
more: The fault In these fenders are
their height from the ground. Casey's
fender has small wheels, which keep it
six Inches from the ground all the time.
