the grounds were wet, and the weather
Wiia cold enough for heavy attire, the

Flack going to center In place of Hrud-K-y,
who will be benched and Deltiiih
remaining on third. Brown and Herr,
If Herr's arm limbers up, will pitch and
Hafferty' will cuteh. The strength con
ceded to the Khode Islanders has no
terrors for McDermott'a hired men. they
were .all sanguine, of hitting out some
thing near a victory today and were
disappointed over the postponement.
Now they are impatient for tomorrow
to come, und It wil! be ill luck or ln
fericrlty rather than n lack of deter
mination if Si-runton don't win at least
one game.
The arrival of Hutchinson hus much
to do with It, he looks to be In line

Report Has It That Louisville Wants to
ict Him.
Reports from Louisville give the news
that Manager Irwin is thinking of trad
ing Bill Clark, who la playing with
the llets, for a young college pitcher
mimed McCreery, now wiRi the Louis
ville. It would apiiear as If there had
been enough experimenting with pitch
ers ulready. McCreery is an untried
man in the league, and unless Irwin
Is sure of his ability he should go slow
uerore letting such a vuluuiile player
as Bill Chirk escape him without being1
sure of what ho gets in return.
Clark's batting In the Atlantic league
games has been little short of phenom
enal. He has bnttrr every pitcher he
has: raced with eciual ease. Bill is slow
in his actions, but yet he innnnpr" ti

work In the box for several season's

STARTER CALDWELL.
Much of Ills Goud Work Poo to "Polo
Jim's" Inflnenco With Jockeys.
For the past five years James F.
Caldwell has enjoyed the title of "prince
of starters." In the light of Mr. Cald
well's recent poor work at San Fran
cisco und luter at Memphis, turfites,
who for years unhesitatingly took off
their hats to him are now- asking each
other If Caldwell Is or ever was a great
starter.
There are many things which, when
duly considered, inevitably lead one to
the conclusion that Mr. Caldwell at his
best never was much of starter In fnct,
that he was no starter at all. The
same evidence leads one to the conclu
sion that to Polo Jim, his assistant, Is
due in a great measure all the fame
which has accrued to Caldwell.
Everybody, even those who take but
a passing Interest In the turf, remem
bers "Polo Jim," the famous negro, who
for two decade assisted starters on
Eastern race tracks. "Jim," us he wns
known to all New York race-goers, died
about eighteen months ago. Since he
has not lined up the horses for Mr.
Caldwell that pompous gentleman has
done uniformly poor work.
Many circumstances go to show that
Mr. Caldwell wus exceedingly fortu
nate during his Eastern career, and
that his good fortune was not due to
luck but to "Polo Jim." Caldwell made
a great Impression on turfites when on
one occasion he managed to get that
unmanageable brute Sport off to a good
start. SiMjrt was a terror to starters.
A great horse once he got going, It
was a week's work to get him away
from the post. Howe, Ferguson, Pet
tingill, and other Hag wlelders had ut
terly failed to get Ruppert's horse past
the flag.
One day Caldwell had him In quite a
big lield. Polo Jim was assisting him.
Jim got the field lined up and going
nicely, but Sport wns turned the wrong
way. Caldwell tired of the fractious
brute, called the boys on, intending to
leave him. Just nt that moment Sport
wheeled around three lengths behind
the bunch. He bad no intention of
si.irtliir;. lut tho quirk-whined assist
ant sv. unsr hit- whip and the long lush
almost cut the brute's nuartcrs. Sport
gave a mighty bound. The whip lash
caught In his tail, and the handle
trailed behind. At every stride it hit
him. The effect was similar to a tin
can tied to a dog's .tall. Sport running
like a wild horse, won by a block, and
the people dubbed Caldwell the "prince
of starters."

Pottsvllle, Pa, May 6. Al. Larson

the Hull Hurd.
Special from a Stuff Correspondent.
Providence, R. I., Muy . The hlgh
Hvlng on this trln will be the death
of "Ole Hons" Chiles and Pete Eagan.
The tw have all along been credited
with beintf a mUr of the team's heav
iest hitters, but they are taking so
kindly to hitting; the cuisine of ele
gant hotels that they bid fair to rivul
"Dude" Maguire in the art of fastid
ious nienue selections. The "Dude" hus
up to date heen the'reeognlzed epicur
ean of the team, but he nearly fainted
this noon when "Ole Hoas" ordered the
following and Pete said he'd take the
same: Blue points, terrapin stew,
baked shad with sauce u ia Hollun
dulse, mushroom, iiattles, broiled sar
dines on toust, spring lunib with mint
suu'ce, chumpagne soulle, glace' a In
Vicuna, bisque U-e cream, cocoa und the
usuul sides and things.
The "Dude" weakened when the or
der etidtd. and ho remained a trance
throughout the meal, but later when
"Ole Hoss" Jawed the waiter for not
hurrying along a finger bowl and Eag
an seconded the motion, the "Dude"
hud a tit. But that's the way it's go
ing and McDermott says he don't care
a rap, the owners said so and thnt
ends It. If the thing keeps up each
player will have a valet and all will
be riding In cabs to and from the
grounds by the time they reach home.
Among other things for which Provi
dence is noted, in a buse bull way, is
"Base Ball Tommy." He is a weak
minded fellow, with as weak a body,
who for years has believed himself to
be a great player and Btorles concern
ing him prevail wherever the profc
slynul game Is pluyrd. As reguluiiy us
each fet.-c.su n opens he presents himself
to the Provldeuce manager with a well
leurned story of his pel feet condition
and ability. He Is the team's mascot
und participates In the warming-up
which precedes each championship
game, though he can play but little
better than a 15-year- old boy. He
wears the regulation club uniform and
occupies himself during a gume by re
covering balls that foul over the fence.
Of Individual and team records he
somehow possesses a wide and uccurnte
knowledge. He talks base bull Intelli
gently for a :rkHl and then his weuk
Intellect asserts Itself by wanderings
from the subject In hand. He Is quiet
and Inoffensive and the Providence
players resent any outsider's attempt
to made sport of him.
While Umpire Tim Hurst has bid
adieu to the league he has a living
memorial In Umpire Kelly, who has
been adjudicating here since tht sea
son opened. In face and munner Kel
ly is Sir Timothy's double, but is taller
and more angular. The Providence
Journal says of him: "During the three
games Umpire Kelly has presided over
in this city, he has not particularly dis
tinguished himself with his Judgment
on balls and strikes. Yesterday he
used the 'evening up' system, which Is
neither satisfying to the crowd nor the
player affected. The errors In Judg
ment are caused chlelly by the neces
sity for prompt decisions. He mukes
them too quickly and seems to recog
nize his mistakes almost as soon as
made."
It was reported here that Pitcher
Fox, who was with Scranton a few
weeks last season and finished with
Allentown, has signed with Pawtucket,
of the New England league, and Is ex
pected there tomorrow.
e
The Providence base ball writers
speak well of Lucky, the Avoca boy,
who pitched his tlrst professional game
here Monday for Wllkes-Barre. They
say his nervousness early in the game
was apparent and spoiled what might
have been good work, but that he re
covered himself after the sixth and
prevented Providence from making a
hit. Lucky created the impression
that he will develop with study and
practice Into something better than an
average pitcher. Such an opinion from
disinterested authorities is worth more
than home bouquets.
Coughlln, the Scranton boy who Is
playing his first professional year with
the Pawtucket New Englanders. is
creditably filling his position at third.
Providence men who follow closely the
work of the Pawtucket team say
Coughlln is hitting hard and often und
putting up a fast and clean fielding
game and is not at all amateurish. Thh
will be cheerful news to the gainey
young fellow's many followers in
Scranton and other cranks who take
pride In the fact that the Electric City
has developed players who are now
playing in fast professional company.
Coughlln, and Dean, the '95 pitcher for
the crack Young Men's Christian as
sociation team, are certainly good pro
ducts this year.
The proverbial superstition of base
ball players was illustrated yesterday
while the team was riding out to the
grounds. A poorly-dud and cross-eyed
woman stood leaning against a fence
on one of the back streets. Meaney
saw her first and sung out:
"There she is. boys."
Ward took in the situation at a glance
and was out of the bus in a jiffy. The
driver slowed up while Ward engaged
the cross-eyed woman In conversation,
lie began by asking her where Good
Luck street was located. She didn't
know, she said. Ward considered this
ignorance a sufficient excuse for plac
ing his hinid on her left shoulder and
telling her she ought to be better posted
on the highways and byways of her
city.
To get your hand on the left shoulder
of a cross-eyed person Is said to bring
better luck than procuring the left
hind-foot of a grave-ynrd rabbit at
night. Anyhow- Ward clnmcrcd back
In the buss und the ride was resumed
with everybody happy.
Scranton didn't lose; rain prevented
the game. A. T. B.
