Wllkes-Barre 9 . Jeraaion .
The second same In the Wilkes-Barre-Scrantim
series for The Tribune
trophy was won 'by the Wltkes-Unrre
club on Its own grounds .yeftterday.
Practically, the WilkeMSarreans de
served their victory, but they were
assisted In the matter by a lot of un
fortunate circumstances, which, a
usual, worked the hardest kind of 111
luck upon Scranton.
Jack Muston missed his train, or
through some other reasons, failed to
materialise, and young Dunn, of Scran
ton, who has been playing dn the Horn
ellsvllle team, covered third bad: Billy
Kagan was suffering from a sprain to
his foot, received In Tuesday's (tame,
and could do little else than hobble
about, while It was necessary to put
In center Held, owing to Huston's ab
sence a nondescript local Wllkes-Rar-rean
by the. name of McQuald. Mc
Quald has a ;crop of red hair and an
elongated figure, otherwise his only Im
portance in the pamos rested In the
fact that he was one of the chief rea
sons for Rcranton's defeat. He made
one of the yellowest and most ancient
kin'ls of bad-smelling muffs which cost
a run in the sixth: he fumbled a
grounder In fW fourth which cost a
run. and he succeeded In fanning him
self out three times. Another Wllkes
Barre run came In on an Inexcuseable,
butler-fingered muff by Pete Kagan.
x Faenn's l.nincncss Contributed.
In addition to the disaster .caused by
the red-headed AlcQunld experiment,
Billy Ragan's lameness had much to
do with the result. Three ground balls
and two files would surely have been
ea.ten up by him If he had 'been able
to reach them, and In addition ne was
forced to miss a chance to receive an
assist from Moss and was twice thrown
out at first, which he would havo
reached safely If his running gear had
been In siootl order.
Still, the game was not without In
terest. There were four double plays
by Scranton and one by the enemy.
and Scranton was offered several
chances to score, which left her friends
anxious and the Wilkes-Barre rooter
a'rootlng. Punn made several dim
cult stops and assists and showed
filmself to be a comer. 'Moss put up a
brilliant Inflefd game, and Billy Eagan
did more than could have been expect
ed of a man with only one leg. The
star plays of the day were two run
ning catches by Peter Eagan.
I'lnys nt Orange Today.
Today the Scranton cluh plays In
Orange, tomorrow In Hackensack and
Sunday at Recreation pari?. Brooklyn
with the Long Island City club. The
remaining games In the trophy series
are scheduled for ennpsday In Scran-
ton, Thursday In AVIlkes-Barre and
Friday In Scranton. It Is probable
that the two games prevented In Scran
ton by rain and wet grounds on Mon
day and Wednesday will be played
next Wednesday and Friday, which
will make two games on each of those
days.

i The best atory of the season has lately
tot out on Pop- Anson. When In New
York the early part of the season De
Wolf Hopper went to Commodore Oerry,
f resident of the Society for the Preven
lon of Cruelty to Children, and told him
that there was a la-year-old child named
Anson playing on the Chicago team, and
that he had (tetter ma and see about It.
(Jerry doesn't know anything about base
nan. and took the matter ail in goou
faith. Hopper told him that Anson
looked old fur his aire, and the dignllb'd
Oerry hied himself to the Polo grounds
tne next afternoon. "I want to see tnai
child. Anson." said he to President KreeJ-
man. Freedman was "on" and led him to
the Chlcairo uluvers dressing room. Uerry
caught Anson right In the act of combing
his bald head with a towel and adusting
his china molars. "Great goodness!" ex-
rlslmed the whlte-hulred commodore,
"This man Is older than I am." Then the
Joke dawned on him and he retreated in
baste.

To the executive committee of the
Scranton United choir:
We usk for information regarding
what has been done wirh the $1,000

money has beem paid you, we think It
time that It should be divided. We are
not In any more need of 'It than some
one else, but we can find room for It,
and will then know where It Is. The
time toas gone far beyond the limit In
which the president of the choir de
cided thnt the balance should 'be paid.

call a meeting for the purpose of ex
plaining whether the balance of the
prize money has been received or not.
Yours very truly.

The funniest man on the stage."

of the eccentricities of the eminent
comedian, Billy Van. who for a number
of seasons past has been seen as the
Atlas of 'Primrose & West's minstrels.
'Not only Is he droll, but his humor Is
very original, and In this age original
ity Is the spice of life." In organizing
his big company, known as Hilly Van's
Big Minstrels, he has endeavored to
have the same thing said about the
company. It will appear at the Acad
emy of .Music Saturday night.

It Is In "Faust" that Chev. Albert L.
Guille Is heard to the greatest ad
vantage. Monsieur CJullle, the grent
tenor, gives a most Intense and realis
tic Impersonation of two characters
originally created by him and sung
with brilliant success at the Metropoli
tan, In New York city. Tho role of
Faust Is Intensely dramatic, and taxes
the tragic power of Its essayer to the
widest limit, but, with his natural en
dowments and consummate art, Uullle
rose to the height of the sublime, both
vocally and dramatically, and held his
auditors spellbound under the charm
of his Intensity. Chev. Gullle will be
heard with the (Marie Tavary Grand
Kngllsh Opera company at the Froth
Ingham next Monday and Tuesday

Some Events of the Day on the West
Side of the Citv Noted.
MR. ANU MKS. EDWARDS HOME
They Received Much llcncfit from Their
Voyago Across the Wotcr-Serunton
. ono of tho Hcst known Cities
Among the People of Wales.
(The 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 bo addressed.)
Judge and 'Mrs. H. iM. Kd wards re
turned on a Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western train from New York, ar
riving here at 8.45 last evening, thus
ending a trip to and from the eastern
continent and a tour of several coun
tries. Soon after his arrival at his
South Main avenue home Judge Kd
wards conversed with a Tribune re
porter. He Is looking well, the trip
seemingly having agreed with him. A
fuller face also testifies to the con
geniality of the climate across the
ocean. In response to a question Judge
Kihvurds stated that the trip had been
a most enjoyable one. England and
Wales had been visited and a tour of
A he large cities made. The people of
Wales, especially, were very cordial In
their reception of the party. Although
the trip was not altogether devoid of
accidents. Mrs. Kdwards having suf
fered a mishap while in Wales, yet on
the whole nothing but memories tender
remain as a result of the trip.
Judge Edwards told of the magnifi
cence of the Llanelly eisteddfod, of
which he was conductor for one ses
sion. He said It was the largest ever
held In Wales.
"How do our local Welsh choirs com
pare with the native organizations?"
asked the reporter.
"Very well," answered the Judge with
conviction."! believe that our choirs
are the equals of any Welsh choir In
every respect. We have had ehoral
organizations In this city that would
rival, If not surpass, the great Llanelly
eisteddfod choirs."
"Is Scranton well-known In Wales?"
Inquired the interviewer.
"Yes," was the reply. "Scranton 4s
the best known city of Welsh-Americans
in this country. It Is considered
as prominent as the greater cities of
America."

' Poor Jimmy Dean, tnlshapen, unfor
tunate and friendless, save for a moth
er's love, who now languishes In the
county jail on a charge of assault with
attempted murder on the person of
Eddie Davis, of this side, has sent a
remarkable letter to Alderman John,
of the Fourth ward. It will be remem
bered Dean had been provoked by a
number of street gamins, who taunted
him about his crooked feet and lum
bering walk, ll le has stood this kind
of torture for years, and It was only
a few weeks ago that, in a frenzy, he
turned upon his 'tormentors, and, as a
result, the Davis boy lay at death's
door for several days. Dean was Jailed
and It was from his prison cell that he
sent the following curious letter, writ
ten on ruled paper with a lead pencil.
The letter Is remarkable In more ways
