SPRINGFIELD AFTER POWER
The I'ony Champions Now Want the
Elusive First Baseman.
PROTECTION FOR SCRANTON
'
prcslJcnt Powers and kuntzsch, of Syra
cuse, say Power Must at Least
Ncgotlatc-Thrce Players Get
. Their Kolcoso.
Now Springfield wants Tom Power.
It's becoming a badly mixed up mess,
iu whW-h tin? honorable president of the
Kustern league. 1'atiiPlus T. Powers;
President N. K. Young. ' the National;
Manager MiCloskey, of the Louls
vllles; the Scranton owners and mana
ger, and the wily Tom Power himself
will have a chance to show of what
kind of stuff they are made.
SprlnRiield's position In the matter
la somewhat new and unexpected and
cannot be exactly understood, as Pow
er's whereabouts are unknown In
Scranton. and B.urlngtleld, of course, Is
not divulging its play. Uecause of
Power's refusal to communicate with
Manager McUermott It is believed he
wishes to give Scranton the slip; but
on the other hand assurance is given
by President P. T. Powers and George
Kuntzsch. of Syracuse, who sold Power
to Scranton, that the player will deco
rate a Syracuse bench during the sea
son unless ho nt lenst negotiates with
McUermott. President Powers' posi
tion Is his promise thut no club In the
Eastern league shall possess Power, the
plavcr. unless he shall first negotiate
with McUermott according to the rules
of the national agreement. Kuntzsch
Bays, and Captain Rellly confirmed It
when passing through here yesterday
with the Syracuse club for Carbondalo,
that It will tuke more than an ordinary
amount of greenbacks to purchase the
refractory player If he don't agree to
come to Scranton.
THE SALARY QUESTION.
McUermott has for some time been,
of the oulnlon that Chiles will not do
for first base and has urged Mr. Simp
son to keep a tight pull on the line out
lor Power. If the assurances of Herr
Kuntzsch and President Powers are
fulfilled. Power, the player, must at
least attempt an agreement. It Is not
known what salary he has been of
fered by Springfield or Louisville, but
some kind friend should notify the
elusive Californian that there's enough
money back of the Scranton club to
All the grand stands of Springfield and
Louisville and enough kind treatment
to overshadow the love of past ages
If It's these things Power Is looking for
he'd better wrlto a letter t the Scran
ton Athletic association, Scranton.
Pa., V. S. A. Of course, if he doesn't
sign with Scranton he has the privi
lege of kicking himself all next winter
but that's Power's business.
Pitchers Muliarkey and Getts and
Shortstop Heller returned here yester
day, weary and footsore, from the
scenes of the club's trial spins out In
New England and Jersey. None of the
three will do. They couldn't stand the
Initiation. Muliarkey, It Is reported, Is
us likely to shy the ball over second
base as over the plate; Getts Is bet
ter qualified for duties in his father's
postofflce establishment out in Indiana
than for the muscle-trying business of
tossing a base ball, and Heller Is of
no account nohow. So they got the
conge.
Ward Is said to be very lame and sore
and using all manner of persuasive ar
gument to be put in the stables for a
few days, but McUermott thinks the
warm sunshine and scampering around
Ihe bases will do more for the seductive
senator than bran mashes and red llan
nel; so Ward Is playing.
Heller's release leaves the position
at short open, as Sweeney Is not of tho
right quality for the place. He is some
times a fast little fielder but Is liable
to go wrong at critical times and la
light with the stick. He will be re
tained until a better man is found and
will then be loaned In a smaller league
lor the season with the hope that one
year's professional work will develop
him. McUermott has lines out for a
player who may prove satisfactory In
the position.
A GREAT OUTFIELD.
The practice playing has proved be
yond a doubt that In Meaney, Flack,
Bradley and Eagen Scranton posstfsses
an outfield with good material to burn,
and from among whom a trio can be
picked which will In fielding and! hitting
make even the fajnous Providence out
gardeners look to their laurels. Mn
gulre Is showing up In championship
i from at third and Is tipped a sure
winner.
Of Pitchers Johnson, Brown and
Horner no uncertainty Is felt, and to
the three will be added Herr, Cronln or
Stemmell. Of the last group it is too
early to make a rholce, which fact
Itself Indicates security in the import
ant box department.
So, at the present writing, a first
baseman and captain and a shortstop
are all that's lacking to make Scranton
fans hope for a first division position.
Give Scranton a Tom Power and a
nhortstop seven-eighths as good as
Demont or Shannon and there'll be
rood excuse for McDermott to stick
bis ones out
NATIONAL U5AGIE.
Only one game was played In the

BASE BALL NOTES. '
The Scranton' owners are happy ust
the same.
Scranton plays today with Newark,
of the Atlantic Association, and tomor
row and Thursday with Brockton, of
the Nek England league.
"I'll make a small bef that Johnny
Ward will be managing the Phillies be
fore the first of July," says Captain
Joyce.
A large number of the Boston and
Baltimore players, with their manag
ers, will visit Providence on May 1 to
see the Provldence-Wilkes-Barre open
ing, as It is an off day with those clubs.
Manager Chapman extended the invi
tation to them while In Baltimore and
Philadelphia the past week.
Lezotte, Betts ami Lytle make a
strong hitting outfield. No better in
the Eastern league, and few, if any, in
the National. Wilkes-Barre Record.
In the National? Whew! What are
the three Alligators wriggling around
for the benefit of an Eastern league
manager for? Somebody is looking
through o Coney Island X-ray appa
ratus. Trick work and fast playing Is where
Baltimore has won. It was as good
ns most games to see them practice.
The field Is in motion all the time, and
the keen-eyed, sure-handed little fel
lows dart around like trout In a pool.
In the actual game they are always
alert, always watching a chance,
working their way around the bases
by during thefts, tricks to bewilder the
pitcher, and sclenced hitting. They
make few long drives, but more short
singles spin from the bats of the Ori
oles than are hit out by any other club.
In the field, excepting Brodle, who is
a grumbler and hates line hits, ' ko
a grumbler and hates line drives, they
are always cheering on their pitcher,
stopping impossible drives and exe
cuting lightning. plays. It takes a tre
mendous tly to get past the outfield.
Says the Wilkes-Barre Leader: "Man
ager Chapman returned Suturday night
at 11 o'clcx'kf from, a trip to Baltimore,
Philadelphia and other places. He went
after Cray and Bonner. He was not
successful as to Gray at the present
time for there Is a rule in the Eastern
league that the club from which a
man is drafted Into the National, has
the first call on his services in case
of his release. As Buskenberger, of
Toronto, wants Gray back again,
Wilkes-Barre's insistence in the ease
would probably have resulted In a
tangle. He uses the argument too that
Gray was not probably drafted, as he
was In the bill of sale when Buck
en berger bought the Toronto franchise
and players. There Is a possibility that
Bonner will be secured, though at this
time it Is not a positive ic' talnty. Mr.
Chapman saw Bonner, and says he Is
In fine form, with a coat of bronze on
his face,- and that he Is quicker than
a kitten In the practice. He talked
with Bonner and the latter was more
than anxious to get back to Wilkes
Barre and hoped that a deal would be
consummated by which he could return
to hia favorite stamping ground. It is
very likely that Ualy will be continued
at second base for Brooklyn and that
Bonner would be a bench warmer all
season should he remain there. This
Is not at all to his liking. In this case
as in many others, the old leaguers
are favorable to Daly and would prob
ably discourage Bonner if he were put
on the regular team. President Byrne
will not make any positive decision in
the matter for a few days. Mr. Chap
man is of the opinion thatif he could
get Bonner and another good pitcher
he would be right in the race for the
pennant. The first practice game will
be Monday at 3. 45 between the Wilkes
Barre and Wyoming seminary teams.
There will follow games with the Haz
leton team Wednesday and Thursday
and Carbondale Friday and Saturday."

GREAT SI.'XIXG LI WALES
Another Straggle Bctweet Rkymtty
id Nerthjrr.
MERTHYR SINGERS VICTORIOUS
Twenty Thonsaad People ttltaess the
Majestls Coatest, Bad They aWsoasa
Wild With Enthaslasm Over
the Viators.'
Choral societies of "Wales entered the
competition, which included the superb
choruses of Merthyr and Khymney. It
will be remembered that at the national
eisteddfod of 18S5, the one In which our
learned Judge Edwards distinguished
himself with his fine wit and pleasing
oratory, tht musical honors of the great
event were evenly divided between the
two Invincible organizations. This,
consequently made the present contest
Immensely popular and Interesting.
Twenty thousand people were present,
and the musical people of gallant little
Wales have been on tiptoe for the last
three months.and the same may be said
of the Welsh choristers of this city.
They have been awaiting the result
with great anxiety. The following Is a
complete resume of the, contest:
"The great choral competition was
timed to commence at 1.20 o'clock, and
by that time the spacious pavilion waa
packed to Its utmost capacity, while all
round there was a tremendous multi
tude of people some scores of yards
deep. The greatest excitement imagin
able prevailed. The test piece was
Handel's "When His Loud Voice in
Thunder Spoke," and one of the grand
est choruses that even the old giant of
choral music ever wrote. The prlae
was one of 100, supplemented by a
gold-mounted baton to the conductor,
the latter being presented by Prltchard
Morgan, M. P. The Pontycymmer
choir, numbering 1C0 voices, sang first.
The bass was very good, but the so
prano was not crisp enough; there was
a strong tendency to slur the notes one
Into the other, particularly at the
start. The Pontardawe choir, number
ing 174 voices, came second, but their
opening was very tame indeed; they
lacked the Are which Is so neceBsary to
a true Interpretation of so majestic a
chorus. The female voices were better
than those of the men. . A tremendous
outburst of applause greeted the ap
pearance of the singers from Rhymney
on the platform. They began well,
continued well, and ended well. The
sopranos were very pure and the bass a
capital foil. The accents were religious
ly observed, and the lights and shades
were beautifully done. - The balance
was perfect. In such a fine perform
ance It would be Invidious to particular
ize any one portion. At the close of a
rendering that thrilled one to the heart
the applause was renewed with greater
energy than ever, and shouts of "Good
old Rhymney," and "O'r Rhymney
ag's." The choir numbered 164 voices.
Coming after Rhymney Mountain Ash
had to appear in a most disadvantage
ous position. Yet for a young choir
they did exceptionally well. - The bass
was very good rather In tact too good
for the other parts. The tenors were
good, but the sopranos were rather
weak and somewhat reedy. The choir
had a good idea of the composer's
meaning. They numbered 16ft voices.
The Trecynon choir numbered 140 voices
and came fifth. Like Mountain Ash
they surprised the audience with a
really capital performance. The voices,
particularly the sopranos, were very
clear, and on the whole the balance was
good. The tenor was good, but the bass
was somewhat weak. Last of all came
the Merthyr choir, and they had a host
of friends In the audience. The choir
completely filled the Btage, and must
have numbered about 230 voices. The
great strength of, the choir made th
performance more majestic than that
of any of the other choirs, and this un
doubtedly compensated for the lack of
finish when compared with Rhymney.
The balance was not so good as that of
Rhymney, but the precision was. If
anything, better. The female voices
were very good, and were better than
the basses, usually the best in the
choir. The close of the contest was the
signal for another great outburst of ap
plause. .
Uavtd Jenkln, who first delivered his
adjudication in Welsh, said he might
tell the audience at once that the ad
judicators had no difficulty whatever
In arriving at their decision regarding
the merits of the different choirs. As
Slgnor Randegger would give them the
detailed award he did not think it waa
within his (the speaker's) province to
encroach upon what he had to say, but
he must say that the adjudicators
could have wished that the test piece
had been one containing greater va
riety than the piece. they had heard
Bung that day. (Applause.)
Slgnor Randegger, who, of course,
spoke In English, said hat during the
past twelve years it had been .his pleas
ure and his privilege to attend several
of those remarkable and Interesting
Welsh gatherings, either as a mere
spectator or In a special official capa
city, as one of the adjudicators (ap
plause) and he might say tn all hon
esty and truth that never In all his ex
perience had he witnessed any of the
unsuccessful choirs sustain a defeat
with any disgrace to themselves.
(Hear, hear.) It was one of the char
acteristics of those competitions that
they all strove to do their very best,
and their very best was of surprising
excellence. First of all he must assure
them that tho four adjudicators were
perfectly unanimous In their decision,
and that they had arrived at it without
the slightest hesitation. The adjudi
cators considered that.lt was a very
close competition between choirs Nob.
1. a. 4 and B. (Applause.) As to Choir
No. (Merthyr), they found that. the
voices were good and welt balanced;
their tone was good, and so- was their
attack. They had likewise precision,
color, vigor and accent, and they main
tained throughout the speed at which
they had started, and so sustained the
best Handellan traditions (applause)
although even that choir had dis
played a tendency to run away with the
chorus. Still, their performance was
