ton Returns Today for Three
' Game with Springfield.
All the National league games sched
uled for yesterday were played, und,
althouich only one change Jn position
resulted, the point seems passed which
assures for Baltimore the pennant.
The Orioles are 3.1 points In advance
Of Cleveland. und all things consid
ered It does not seem probable that
Baltimore will play so poorly or Cleve
land so well that tue latter will finish
In front. On the contrary Cleveland
may not be expected to uo much higher
and the despised l'hlllles seem to have
a lighting' chance to overcome the 25
pouml lead of Cleveland and go Into
second pluce.
Yesterday Baltimore beat Cleveland
4 to 1, and the Chillies lost a point
by splitting even with the 'Louisville
colonels. New York won from Cin
cinnati nd jogs along two points
ahead of the Pittsburgs, who so sully
thrashed the Senators. Hostor 'won
from St. Louis and boos from fifth to
fourth position ahead of the Brooklyns,
who lost to Chicago.
In the Kastern league all the games
scheduled were prevented by ruin o

Unlike Saturday's contest, which test

free and reaching with the wind on the

weather prophet says, there may be
less hilarity in the crowd of sightseers
than on -Saturday. Judging from what

Defender has no walkover, and unless

FOOT BALL IeASON HERE.
I Irst Practice Play at the Huso Hall Pork
YesterJUT-Drafting "te Kleven to Play
Under the Scrunton l .evclo Club Colors.
The opening wedge ot practice piny
which will develop the iScrnnton Hl
cycle club foot bull eleven was begun
yesterday afternoon nt the base ball
park. Out of iosslbly a score of prom
ising candidates over a dozen partici
pated In nn hour's play und several
others who will begin training today or
tomorrow were present on the grounds.
In addition thert- were- present Presi
dent Holph It. Atherton, of the Bicycle
club; Krnest Oilmore, F. J. Leonard
and Billy lVanv, bicycle club members
of the committee-, and Thayer und
Decker, the two committeemen from
outside the club.
No regular positions have been as
signed the players, nor will such be the
case until possibly two weeks of dally
practice and training. They will be
coached by iF. J. Leonnrd, of George
town university, and Will Kingsbury,
of Pennsylvania, who were on the
grounds yesterday; Kdward MolTutt
and John Brooks, of .Princeton, and
possibly John Murphy, of Ueorgetown
university.
Walsh Mentioned for Cuptuln-
A captain for the eleven has not been
selected, but Indications point thut
John Walsh will be chosen. Judging
from his record, personality and ability
the giving of the captaincy to him
would probably moot with the approval
from the majority of those Interested
in the success of the eleven. At ull
events the choice will bo unnounced af
ter a few days of practice at Schwenk's
park on theWouth Side, where the play
ers will meet dally nt 4 o'clock In the
afternoon, beginning' today.
Those who figured In yesterday's
practice were Decker, John and uwen
Walsh, Thayer, Connery, Noakes,
owens, Cleveland, IVarce and Cusick.
The other available men are Dan and
Fred. Uelbert, Hyndman, Rockwell and
several others.
The preparations being made are ex
tensive and the' Bicycle club proposes
having only a first-class team to rep
resent Scrunton In the arena, this fall
and all indications at present point to
a very successful season as far as wln
ning.games is concerned. Heretofore It
has been the custom for thtt team to
worry along by Itself and being taught
by defeat after defeat how the game
should be played. With such men as
Connery. Allen, Oelbert, SCang, Decker
and Thayer to form a nucleus of the
team, together with Welsh, Hyndman,
Rockwell and Owens, ell new players,
should certainly turn out a toam that
cannot be excelled outside the larger
colleges.
Scranton never had a real good foot
ball eleven, though the fault can hard
ly be laid to the door of the players, as
last year they showed themselves lack
ing only In the coaching and training
necessary to make a Rood tenm. and
under the manugement of the Soran
ton Bicycle club and control of the
coaches should nt leust make a show
ing against all the teams they play.
A Word About the Players.
Cleveland Is a young man well known
among the lovers of foot ball, weigh
ing 11)5 pounds, ami has played for the
last seven years, beginning his ex
perience on the Wyoming Seminary
team of SS. lie has pluyed every year
since, and Is known throughout this
part of the state as a vpry good center.
Connery bus had but one year's ex
perience, Is six feet two Inches and
weighs 220 pounds. In the Pennsylva-nla-Seranton
game last fall he showed
up splendidly against the mighty
Woodruff, making openings for the
back to go. through whenever called
upon.
Thayer has played three years on
the Scrantoan team. In '113 and '94 he
played left und last year he played at
fullback. ...
Decker, last year's) captain and quarter-back,
Is an old player, having
played end of the Scranton team for
four years. 'Last fall, compelled to play
out of position, he made a very envia
ble reputation as a quarter-buck.
Allen may this year be guard, his last
position. Allen's fine point Is opening
tho line far the backs, he being very
successful last year In breaking
through the line.
Zang Is a very valuable man, watches
the plays ami follows the ball closely.
Owen Wnlsh Is a fine player on the
offensive, running well with tho ball
and following his Interference closely.
The Uelhorts Are In It.
Dan Gelbert, as a left half-back, Is
well-known player. Ha Is a small man,
but a great ground gainer. He plnys
much, after the style of Osgood, and,
strange to say, resembles him In ap
pearance. Fred Gelbert, a bVbther of Dan, Is a
very valuable man, runs well and
tackles hard. (Last year he was very
unfortunate in being hurt, being com
pelled to go out of training for three
weeks In the middle of the season. He
has had four years'. Jporlence.
Jack Welsh, mentioned for captain,
was' captain of last year's Bhamokln
team, has played on the Universities
of Michigan and Lehigh. He will make
a valuable addition to the team.
Hyndman has hnd considerable ex
perience on the Wyoming Seminary
eleven.
Rockwell Is a new man. Last fall he
was considered the crack end of the
Wyoming Seminary team, playing In
all their games and making- a fine
showing.
Owens played last year on the School
of the Lackawanna- .
Seranton Hyore Win.

;C FOR BIC CAME
Kk-kaby 1 Dove Challcnqe Handball
Champion Casey and Partner.
MAY FLAY P0K $1,000 A SIDE
Casey (Uvea Assaraaee That the Challenge
Will lie Accepted-Will Play
1 00 Aecs Here and I OO
in Brooklyn.
The sporting fraternity was set on
edge last night by the announcement
that John lilcaby and Thomas Dove,
the two Scranton men who recently de
feated Jim and Joe Corbet t In a hand
ball contest In this city, had Issued a
challenge to Phil Casey, o4 Brooklyn,
the handball champion, and James
I Hum, Jr., or any other partner that
Casey limy select.
i.Martlu Flynn. of Short & Flynn, the
Lackawanna avenue tobneconists, was
In Brooklyn lust Thursday and then se
cured Casey's assurance that the for
mal challenge, which was mailed at
noon yi-sterduy, would be accepted.
The challenge contains the following
provisions: That the games shall be
for $1,000 a side; that 100 aces shall be
played In Scranton and 100 aces on
Cusey's .Brooklyn court; thnt the stake
shall go to the pair making the best
score out of the 200 aces; that the
Scranton gate receipts shall go to
Kickaby and Dove and tho Brooklyn
receipts to Casey and partner, or that
the receipts shall be lumped and equal
ly divided, or that the winners shall
take all: thnt a soft bull shall be used
In the Scranton games and that the
regulation hard ball shall be used on
Casey's court. Tho matter of referee,
dates, forfeit money and other details
were n -mentioned In the challenge,
but will be speedily arranged when
Cusey's reply Is received,
Scranton I air Confident.
iRlckaby nnd Dove will themselves
furnish the greater portion of their
stake, and the remainder will be sup
plied by friends who are anxious for a
slice of the money nnd who (irmly be
lieve the Scranton men will win.
Whatever may Ik; the ability of the
Scranton pair and their ' proficiency
with a soft ball they will be seriously
handicapped on 'the regulation court In
Brooklyn, which Is completely enclosed
and on which the small hard ball will
be used.- They recognise this feature of
the match, but believe they can win by
a sulllclent margin In this city to offset
the advuntage Casey and his pnrtner
will have at their style of play en
Brooklyn.
Casey's court Is sixty feet long and
completely enclosed. 'The head wall Is
of solid marble slabs for a distance
of twenty let from the floor, the upper
portion of the wall being built of cut
stone. Th side walls are of cemented
brik, while the rear wall Is built of
heavy plr.nking. The Moor Is of heavy,
narrow mulched boards. A glass dome
covers the v hole enclosure and admits
plenty of light during the day, ami at
night the light is furnished by several
larpe electric and gas chandeliers.
Casey has become so protlclent on- his
own court that he can stand nenr the
wooden back wall, serve the ball so
that It will return from the head wall
with one bound to the back wull, a dis
tance of sixty feet, and as the hall
bounds buck toward ' the court the
champion will send It again the whole
lxty feet with such accuracy and
force that It strikes 'the hend wall not
over three Inches from the floor. This
feat he will repeat twenty times with
out a miss.
New York Sun Rules to Govern.
The challenge provides that the New
Y'jrk Sun rules shall govern the
Brovklyn play. The most Important
feature, of these rules, as far as the
present match is concerned, Is that the
ball shall be served from a point be
tween the ace line, which Is thirty
feet from each of the two end-wall,
and the serving Hue, which Is four feet
from the ace line toward the head wall.
The conditions mentioned In the chal
lenge were each discussed by Mr. Flynn
and Champion Casey last week und all
were Informally agreed Uhii. So it
only remains for Casey to send his for
mal acceptance. This will . probably
be done tomorrow and then representa
tives of the parties 1o the mutch will
sign the detailed articles of agreement
which will likely stipulate thnt the
Scranton games shall be played first
and thut the games shall oe pluyed be
fore Oct. 1. "

Some Events of the Day on the West
Side of the City Noted
REV. T. J. COLLINS RESIGNS
The Pastor of the Seranton Street Baptist
Chureh Will Probably Locate at
Salt Lako City Personal
nd Other Newa Notes.
fThe West Side Interests of The Tribune
have been placed In the hands of Emer
son Owen, to whom all news announce
ments and complaints may be addressed.)
Rev. T. J. Collins, who has held the
pastorate of the Seranton Street Bap
tist church for the past eight years,
has resigned, the resignation to tuke
effect on Oct. 1. The action was ne
cessitated by falling health, and Mr.
Collins' doctor advised him to seek the
Invigorating climate of the west. He
was compelled to either leave for an
other pluce or remuln here at the risk
of an utter collapse of bodily health.
Mr. Collins decided to enter the min
istry beyond the 'Mississippi, and Soon
afterward received a eall from a Mil
waukee chureh. He at llrst decided to
accept this Invitation, but u call from
Washington state, ami finally another
from Salt Lake City, Induced him to go
farther west. Mr. Collins has not
finally accepted either of the three calls
but will likely go to Wait Lake City.
The resignation was read at Sunday
morning's services. In It he regretted
that he was compelled to sever the
relations with his present church,
which have been kindly and all that
could be desired. Two years ago he
decided to have the church but was
finally enjoined to Btuy. He Is very
popular with the masses especially,
his largo heart and unbounded relig
ious generosity, winning the best re
gard of all. He has msuiy friends who
regret his departure, but hope that
with the new field of work will come a
harvest of good health and further suc
cess. Crushed tho Child's l eg.
An arldent which occurred Saturday
afternoon Is a lesson to street urchins.
A D-year-old girl of John Lester, of
Kynon street, was playing near Klghth
street on that 'thoroughfare In the af
ternoon. Clarke .Bros.' heavy wagon
was ascending the hill at that point.
The little girl, unseen to the driver,
boarded the side step and was enjoy
ing the stolen ride, when the driver
suddenly lashed his horses and the
quick Jerk threw the child from her
seat. The hind wheel of the wagon
crossed over her leg In an almost
parallel direction. The result was a
horribly crushed member. The deep
cut required twenty-tlvei 'stitches to
close the wound. 'Dr. Roberts, who at
tended, says that It was one of the most
revolting cuts he has had come under
his observation. The little one is rest
ing as well as can 'be expected. The
driver, after the accident, drove on, not
knowing of the child's mishap.

Sermon of Kev. Father Iturkc at St. John's
Chureh-Congratulations Pouring In on
Mr. and Mrs. Klchnrd Walsh.
Itev. Father Burke preached the ser
mon at St. John's church last night.
Father Cullen gave the religious In
struction and said the rosary. The in
struction was on faith. The sermon
was tm mortal sin, tuken from the text
"Thou hast forsaken me, said the Lord,
thou art gone backward; therefore I
will stretch out my hand against thee
and destroy thee; I am weary with re
penting," the prophet Jeretnla, xv, 6.
Father Burke pictured to his henrers
the affection, the love, and the endear
ment a- mi.thfcr bestowes upon her
child; how she makes sacrifices, tolls,
deprives herself of comforts, that she
muy lavish every possible care upon
that child, hoping In old age to have
one to lean upon, a stuff of life, a sup
port for her declining years. The child
repays her mother's love with buse In
gratitude, for a smile gives a tear, for
a comfort, pain, and alms to leave
nothing undone 'that will cause her
heart to bleed and make her wish that
the child had never been born.
This picture, said the speaker. Is not
altogether unlike the way of humnnlty
toward Almighty God. He gave Christ,
His only begotten Son, to die on the
cross, and the repayment is Insult and
effrontery. There Is but one way to
forsake God and that Is by sin. Here
the priest gave a plain definition of
mortal sin. Three things are necessary
to commit sin; the knowledge that It is
a sin, the consciousness of committing
It, and the gravity of the offense. When
a person knows nn net Is wrong, will
ingly commits It, that constitutes a sin,
and, the speaker said, there are tens
of thousands of them committed In a
lifetime by each human being. The ef
fect of mortal sin on the soul Is to
strike It deud. not like the lightning
ntrlkes a tree that dies and withers
day by day, but it strikes It dead, and
Dandifying grace Is the only thing
that can revivify the soul. Father
Burke snld thait the occasions of sin
must be avoided, und In this con
cluding part of his discourse he char
acterized the grog seller ns the worst
enemy of the Catholic church. The
rum element Is the recruiting sergeant
of the devil. 'He advised those. If nny
listening, who are engaged in the traf
fic, to forsake It, for there are souls
beyond number in hell that were driven
there 'through the Instrumentality of
the liquor seller.
Mr. and Mrs. Walsh's Daughter.
Mrs. Richard Walsh, of 4?,2 Cherry
street. South Side, gave birth yester
day morning to a baby daughter, and
the newcomer Is healthy and plump.
The parents of the young lady were
married a year ago. What udds Inter
est to the event is that the father Is
within four years of being up to the
seventieth milestone In life. The
mother Is 29 years old. Both have been
twice married. l.Vlr. Walsh's first wife
died four years ago and left him alone;
they never had any children. The pres
ent iMrs. Walsh was married to a man
named James Mcllale, who was found
dend In bed one morning three years
ago. She was left a young widow with
three small children. 'Hhe and her de
ceased husband resided on Cherry
street next to Mr. Walsh's home. When
death bereft her of support for herself
and family, Mr. Walsh's heart went out
to her, and the result was a murtinge
not long afterward. The septuagenar
ian progenitor Is employed In the Dela
ware, Lackawanna und Western cur
shops. Congratulations are pouting in
on him from ull sides.
