THE SCItJLNTON TRIBUXE WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1893.
J
THE TRIBUNE TROPHY CUP.
Which Will Go to Wilkes-Barre for at Least On Year.
SCRANTON LOSES THE CUP
Players Kill Not Return for the Re
maining Trophy Series. ' '
IT IS KILKES-BARRE S I'RIZE
Trophy Goes Down the Valley for One
Year-Will Belong Permanently to
the Club First to Win Three
Yearly Series.
The Scranton Base Ball club of the
Pastern league will not return from
Us exhibition trip to this city today to
play the remaining games of the series
wtin W.lkes-Barre for Che trophy cup
v -red by The Tribune. ThU is ne
iinir to a telegram sent from Brm-k-
by Munager Karnle to rne rnoune
:i Sunday and confirmed by letter yes
terday, and In consequence the trophy
will go toWllkes-ifcSarre for at least one
year.
A clause In the trophy agreement pro-
vldis that the cup shall not be perma-
' nently owned by either club until one
of tihe clubs has won three yearly series.
Wllkta-Barre Is entitled to the lirst
series because of Scrantor.'s forfeiture
and th cup will be sent down the val
ley tjnlght and will 'be received by K.
F. Bogert, president of the Wilkes
Karre Base liall association, and H. cl.
Jflerrill, base ball writer of the.Wtlkts
'Barre Kicord, -who have been appoint
ed custodians for one year.
While 'Manager Barnie .ays "the crip
pled condition ct the players" will pre
vent the club from appearing on the
grounds today, the main reason for the
forfeiture Is probably owing to the
"email remuneration 'the games would
offf-r the players.
The disposition of the trophy will
cause but little dlsapolntment to Scran
ton patrons of the game and certainly
none whatever to The Tribune, whose
only object was to stimulate Interest
In I'he sport and Intensify a dampened
base ball rivalry betweene the two
cities. The Tribune's only regret Is
thai: the games scheduled were not
played, and the same regret Is shared
by the Wilkes-Barr players, who had
reason to be sanguine of winning ond
had no desire to have the trophy for
faited to them.
The result cannot help but give an
added Interest to base ball In the two
cities' next year; It will benefit the pub-
. lie, the clubs and the associations.
Wilkes-iBarre lias the cup now let
Scranton gt It back.

Baltimore, Siipt. 24. Philadelphia
looked like . sure winner In the ninth
Inning of tod-ay's game. They were a
run In the lead and two Baltlmoreans
had been retired. Keller's bounder to
Sullivan was lielded toward lirst and
the iruwd turned Its back, believing
their pets had lost. A great shout
from the field attracted every one's
attention, and a glance told the story.
Jack Boyle 'had dropped Sullivan's
thrown ball and Keller was resting
RittVly on tlrst. Meantime! Keeler, who
had reached first on Sullivan's error
and stole second and third bases, camu
galloping home with the tielng run. An
awful din greeted the runner and all
file 'Baltimore rooter expressed a de
sire to hug Boyle or otherwise Khow
their appreciation of -what may pave
the chaimplons from being defeated in
this year's pennant race. Darkness
caused the game to be called at end
of the 'ninth with the score a tie.
Orth pitched' a good game and would
have won easily had he been well sup
ported. iMdM'Slhun, on the contrary, was
Mt hare', nine hits and seven runs com
ing In two Innings. Turner made Ave
hits or a third of tihe Philadelphia'
total. Jennings' tleldlng was superb,
and hi triple scored two runs. He
r.'jnii home a moment later on Keller's
out and put the home club in the lead.

"President Samuel (Dickson, of the
State Bar association, has appointed
the committee to have charge of the
elevating; the standard of legal educa

Philadelphia Press. "At the annual
meeting of the association it was de
cided to have a committee to take up
the subject .of legal education and
formulate a standard which must be
attained before a candidate can be ad
mitted to the bar In any county of the
state. At the present time the qualifi
cations for admission vary in the differ

tem. In New York state the evils
growing out of such a state of affairs
was detected and the course of study
was made the same for each county.
A central board of examiners decides
every case there.
"It Is not the Intention of the State
Bar association, however, to endeavor

NINE CUTTERS FOR SPAIN.
Amorlcon Built Boats Will Chase I lllbus
tersrs Aronnd Cuba.
New York, Spt. 24. .Within a month
nine American built steam cutters, un
der the Spanish flag, will be cruising
on the north coast of Cuba.
The late Admiral Manuel Delgado
iparejo sent Lieutenant Commander
Trlana to this city on special duty, and
the orders for these cutters were placed
very quietly. Not until they were com
pleted did the fact of their ownership
become known. The last of the nine
was shipped to Cuba a fw days ago.
The lengths of the cutters vary from
60 to 70 feet, and their speeds from
eleven to fourteen miles an hour. Their
average drought Is four feet. Their
crews, numbering; from fifteen to
twenty, all men from the Spanish navy,
will be officered by men of known abil
ity. The posts of the new vessels will
ibe on the north coast of Cuba, between
(Matanzas and Santiago De Cuba. They
are built especially for rapid shore
work. Their armament will be of a
very destructive type, Including Ameri
can galling guns and nordenfoldts.
Smugglers of contraband of war will
be their prey.
The Lebenger pontoon service and
the American cutters, In all thirty-nine
cutters and floats, will add Immensely
to the effectiveness . of the Spanish
naval forces In Cuba. With these and
the double lines of war vessels cruising,
It Is declared that all outside relief will
tie out oft from the rebels, now In the
central part of eastern Cuba.

TUE BOSS BATSMAN.
Pome thing Ahout the Career of Jesse Bar.
kett, Cleveland's Horn Slugger.
Although tbe official batting averages
have not been promulgated by Presi
dent Young, enough is known about
the standing of the players from un
official sources to lead to the conclu
sion that Jesse Hurkett. of the Cleve
land team, will bo the champion bats
man of the league for 18!)S, says the
Philadelphia Press.
Hurkett Is the smallest man who
ever held the championship. In past
years the league has been led by such
giants as Dennis ltrouthers and Adrian
C. Anson. During the season of 1S!2
Clarence Chllds, of the Cleveland team,
came to the front as a ba'titer, and
actually tied Hrouthers, who was es
teemed to be Invinclltle except rrom
some batsmen like Anson. Chllds ad
vent Into the ranks of the heavy bat
ters brought out the fact that tho
players of less avoirdupois through
out the league were rapidly becoming
the more prollclent against the cham
pion pitchers.
Picture a wiry. lit lie. nlnrble athlete.
five feet eight Inches tall und weighing
160 pounds; a man wfth legs built for
running, and who can sprint on them
to first base so 4.1st that rival third
basemen gave out long ago trying to
put him out on bunt bits; one who Is
continually fretitlng with himself be
cause of mistakes that he makes on the
field; with small but shapely head, cap
on one side, attention ever on the
game, ability to get a start that makes
catchers sick when a base is to bo
stolen, speed enough to score from sec
ond base on a short infield hit that Is
fielded to first base, and you may have
some Idea of Rurkett'H ability and ex
cellence as a ball player.
Hurkett played ball in Wheeling un
til a manager in Scranton, Pa., heard
of him and got him to come to Scranton
to play with that team. One afternoon
when Burkett was in the box for the
Scranton team he threw the ball so
hard that he broke his arm, a most un
common accident, but one that hap
pens now and then in base ball. That
ended his work for that summer with
Scranton.
Manager Tobeau, of the Clevelands,
was one of the first men to recognize
Burkett's ability as a great batter. He
whs Impressed by the little that he saw
of him In lSiHV and after Burkett Joined
the team in 18U1 made the prediction
that the day would come when he
would lead the league In batting. "Ho
hits the ball harder and truer than any
man in the league," were the words
that were used by the Clevelend man
ager regarding Burkett In lbi2.
'Burkett's record as a batter has been
as follows. In lsxi), 4'J games, as pitch
