Wilkes Ban 1 lSoranto I
"If the Baltimore Orioles played In
Scranton uniforms against Wllkea
Barre. would Scranton win?" is a ques
tion that possibly troubled the few
Scranton crunks who saw the first of
the trophy cup Karnes in Wilkes-Hnrre
yesterday. If the question had been
answered, the reply possibly would
have been a decided "no."
Wllkes-Barre won chiefly through
the pitching of Coakley. 'He
locked his small stock of curves in his
trunk before going out to the game,
but he took his speeding arm with him,
which accounts for St-ranUm's defeat.
There may be flies on Thomas Oonkley,
but there are no files on Thomas Coak
ley's arm. He sent the ball whizzing
over the plate after a fashion born ot
pure Ruslelsni. and when he gat start
ed, which was In the first chapter,
there was no stopping him.
Coakley Rcaan to Work.
The three Wllkes-Barre runs In the
first inning did not shake the confi
dence of Scranton's new team. but.
goodness knows, there came a clammy
feeling when In the Scranton half
Coakley' struck out Pete Kagan. Sehrl
er and Power with two on bases.
Coakley kept his speed with him until
the end. striking out three more bats
men and sending only three on walks
to first.
Barnett was well supported, except
In the seventh, when three errors, fol
lowing Charley -Smith's single, let In a
un. Before the game it was an even
chance, that Barnett would pitch as
frond a game as the other fellow. The
two are of the best In the Eastern
league and Barnett has the best rec
ord, but It was Scranton's misfortune
that Barnett should have an off day
while the sun shone for Coakley.
' Some Spirited Playing.
Notwithstanding the lop-sided score
the game was not without Interest.
Scranton had a runner on the bases
In each inning, the sixth and elehtli
excepted, and there was enough spirit
ed playing to keep Scranton cranks
warm and hoping their club might pull
out of the hole and win but the hole
was too deep and Coakley was too
swift.
Pat 'Meaney distinguished himself
by a great running catch, but the real
fielding honors of the game went to
DtlcMahon and Bonner.
There was great jubilation In the
Alligator City when the result was
heralded about, and it Is probable that
a la:ge delegation of the faithful of
that e ty will come to Scranton today
and bring with them the one Idea that
their club cannot lose.
Following Is the score:

Dcloncy and Mcanoy Will Be the Oppos
ing Pitchers.
In this city. today, Delaney, the for
mer Scranton pitcher, will be in the box
for Wllkes-arre against Mcranton In
t he second game for the trophy cup. Pat
Meaney will twirl for Scranton. As
each pitcher has a, strong personal fol
lowing it in probable that a goodly
sized crowd will witness the game. Play
will be called at 3.45 o'clock.
' The defeat in W'llkes-Ltarre yester
day will serve only to stimulate the
Scranton players to greater effort to
day. They ran up against Invincible
pitching In the first game of the series,
tint thn tmantttllitv tit twtl.ltnfr f niiti
this year is not assured either club un
til It possesses foitrnf the seven games.
There 4s a superstition In Wllkes-Barre
that no Spranton club, no matter how
strong, can win from them. This feel
ing has become prevalent here, but the
fast-playing aggregation now in Scran
ton uniforms looks, on paper, to have
a reaFonaibly good chance of dispelling
the Illusion. Anyhow, this afternoon's
contest WHI be hard-fought from start
to finish and should attract a large at
tendance. Wllkes-Barre Is bound to
win and securd two game toward the
trophy cup, while Scranton will battle
earnestly to counterbalance? yesterday's
.defeat.

of how the burglars accomplished their
work.
It was found that the meni had first

where they secured sledges
and a truck. They then proceeded to
the postolllce and gained admittance
by cutting a panel out of the door. The
safe was then loaded onto the truck

was broken open. After rilling the safe
they stole a horse and buggy and got
away.

Boston, Mass., Sept. 17. The Spani
ards have evacuated Banes, the most
Important port on the northern coast of
Cuba, and from w'hloh nearly all of the
bananas which come to Boston fire
shipped. The Spanish soldiers made a
feeble attempt to defend the place, but
the rebels were too many for them.
This Is a very serious matter for the
Spaniards.
The British steamer Taff, which ar
rived at this port today with a cargo
of bananas, brings the first account of
the evacuation of Banes, and also
brings reports of a most serloiiH state
of affairs In that part of the island.

IT LASTED THREE ROUNDS
Billy Madison nod the I'tica KM
Fought Last Night at Greenwood.
MADISON WAS KNOCKED 01 T
Contest Was to Have llccn Between Uick
Micks and Defeated Candidate, hut
Hicks Was Nun Lst and I'tica
Kid Was Substituted.
For several days past a quiet tip
hnd been going the rounds among the
siKirting fraternity that "BHly" lla.fi
son and "Dick" Hicks, two well-known
young boxers of the lightweight class,
had stfTned articles of agreement for a
fltilsh light with regulation gloves in
a :M-foot ring. Marquis of Qucensbury
rules to govern the contest.
Word was sent uround to all who had
tickets that the "debate" would be
"pulled off" In Mrs. Kdvvard Fasshold's
hall, at the top uf the Civenwood hill.
So, utter dark last evening, there could
be seen, headed toward tho objective
point, squads of lovers of the fistic
sixirt. At 10 o'clock, as many as 100
of them were on the battle ground.
Madison was very much In evidence,
he walked around the hnll clad In a
blue sweater nnd yachting cap, and
between short puffs from a Sweet Cap
oral he Inquired wonderingly for his
competitor.
iMr. Hicks delay In arriving was
causing much worry and unrest
among the nssenvbled expectunts. The
bar was right handy nnd did a rush
ing business while waiting for the show
to go on. At 10.30 o'clock neither Hicks
nor any of his friends hnd put in an
appearance. It was very evident that
lie or they would not grace the occasion
with their presence.
The Pine knot to the Rescue.
'Madison hated to be disappointed
and he told all in the hull that he would
do the best he could to secure an at
traction that would give them the
worth of t'helr money. John Barrett, of
South Washington avenue, was the
master of ceremonies and h mouutvd
the stuge, made a speech, the tenor and
effect of which was that Harry Court
right, "the Pine Knot t?)," and Oarry
Berry, both of Scranton, would enter
tain with a friendly exhibition of three
rounds. Pretty soon the two gladiators
appeared und climbed to the stage,
which was guarded with two stout
clotheslines. They shook hands nnd
went at it. Every now and again
Harry's voice could be henrd above tho
din pleading for light punishment. The
three rounds were very, very off color,
and the spectators, for Harry's sake,
were glad when the referee announced
a draw. I.Mr. 'Berry tips the scales at
12 pounds, and, it Is said, can amuse
himself by kicking up loaded ale bar
rels at ease. The "knot" was no match
for him.
While the spectators were wonder
ing what was next on the programme
Madison and his confidential friend,
Mr. Barrett, of the Flats, walked to the
stage. The latter made a short speech.
'He said that the fact was a deplorable
one that Mr. Hicks failed to come to'
time, but he had the pleasure of an
nouncing a six-round exhibition of
three minutes each between Madison
and "the I'tica Kid," In lieu of the
finish tight between Hicks and Madi
son. But It Lasted Only Three Hounds.
It appears that the Uttca Kid Is one
Frank Cray, who is a "ringer" in the
business and has fought eight finish
engagements, one of which was with
Jack Dunphy, who fought Hob Fltz
slmmons. The "Kid," from all ac
counts, Is an old dog on the road. lie
confided to a Tribune reporter that he
had come to this valley to meet a man
named Dunn, of Carbondale, and was
about to tuke the blind baggage for
(Buffalo yesterday afternoon, not hav
ing been able to get a match with
Dunn, when some of Madison's friends
met him and persuaded him to remain
and go on the boards with Madison in
the event of Hicks "flying the coop."
Tho "Kid" consented and lived up to
his ngroement. As announced, they
appeared and were decked out In the
most approved ling style. They wore
short black trunks, foot ball hair and
girlish smiles.
Mr. 'Barrett made another speech:
he besought the "gents" to be liberal
as the hat was about to be passed
around for Oray's benefit, he being re
duced to very straitened circumstances,
in the language of the trade, he was
"on the hog." Bootblack Ouerney
passed the hat around, but the response
was not generous.
K. J. Oedema n, of this city, was se
lected as referee and the band played.
The first round showed that It was
to be for blood. Madison led off with
a vicious swing and caught tlray on
the nose. Tho blow was returned on
the jaw with Interest, and after that
for tho rest of the round there was
continuous sparring. The second round
was a repetition of the first, except
that there was some lively in-fighting
when the gong blew.
Not Satisfied with the Collection.
Before beginning tho third round the
kid stated there were enough In the
hall to subscribe $25 If each gave a dime,
and us only 1" had been contributed he
would not fight longer than the third
round. The third round had scarcely
beirtin when he swung with his right
and hit Madison on thn Jaw, following
it up with a left-hnnder on the other
sldo of tho face, which knocked him
tiut. Madison was very groggy nnd
clinched to avoid punishment. He was
knocked out any way, but while he was
clinched he bit the kid on the left
shoulder and almost, took a mouthful
out of him. The referee therefore
r warded the fight to the man from
Utlr-a on a foul. . ,
Madi.-on was a very plucky fighter
and phowfd up well against tlray. who
Is mncli heavier nnd far more experi
enced. It was a unsiiual match from
Fturt to finish. The biting scene In the
Inst act was regretted by (Madison; he
said the two staggering Mows he got
In rapid succession excited him.
Toby Oardner and John Madlgan,
the former of the South Ride, and the
latter from the West Side, went on In
their shirt sleeves, and mlfrht hnvp
given a clever exhibition had they been
sober. The crowd stampeded to the
street to catch thn last car, and left
the fighters fighting.

(Miscreants started a fire In a mea
dow at the foot of the West iMountaln

of the locality, Barney 'Mason, was
dangerously, perhaps fatally, burned
while lighting the tlames. Mr. Mason
is a subject of sudden tits and when he
saw the valuable meadow ai mass of
flames he excitedly rushed out and be
gan lighting the spread of the Are.
This excitement brought on one of the
fits and the man fell helpless In the
midst of the flames. He lay there, un
able to utter a cry for help, while the
lire burned his clothing and flesh.
Will Fletcher, who hod seen his fall,
rushed In and dragged the now halt
dend man from the field.
The fire had eaten his limbs to the
bone and the flesh was charred and
blackened. 'Mason now lies In a dying
condition at his home on the West
Mountuin. The meadow Is owned by
the X,ackawanna Iron and Coal com

It Is situated directly west of the

Changes at No. 14.
Several changes have been made In
No. 14 school owing to the overcrowd
ed condition of the building. The pupils
In the primary room have been trans
ferred to the basement of the Taber
nacle church, where they will here
after be taught by the regular teacher.
Miss Lizzie Williams. The room va
cated by the Infant clnss will be taken
by Miss Irving with her pupils and a
new department In Orammar B grade
will be formed under a new teacher In
the room vacated by Miss Irvlng's
pupils. These pupils come from David
Owens' room, and a number of pupils
from Principal 'Hughes' department
will be taken to the original Grammar
B room. The change was necessary,
and Is considered a progressive step In
school attendance on this side. The
rooms ot the Tabernacle church annex
are very well adapted to the purpose,
and will be just as commodious as the
school building proper. The new
teacher has not as yet been appointed.

SOUTH SIDE.
At the mission In St. John's church
the ermon was preached last night by
iRev. Father O'Cullahan. His discourse
was a learned nnd lucid exposition or
the doctrine of future punishment. He
said that the soul will go on through
eternity In the sume course that the
person fixes for It. It a man has lived
a life of hostility toward Almighty
God It is only natural that the soul af
ter this life should be moved with the
same purpose. There Is nothing In the
hereafter but heuven and hell, nnd It
Is some one of these places where the
soul must abide.
