BASE BALL GOSSIP.
Srraroton has played twelve gamea
and captured one since the trip began,
and has won but one game out of the
last thirteen played. Wllkes-Barre,
i after leaving homo lost eleven straight
before winning Tuesday and yesterday
at Syracuse. So today the two clubs
will meet almost on an equal footing so
far as games lost and won are con
cerned. The morning game In Wllkes
Barre wlil probably be witnessed by
muny Scranton cranks, even though the
club has been losing, as there Is a sort
of siraklnr belief that If we are yellow
the alligators are at least lemon col
ored. Anyhow, there are six games to
be ployed between the two until
Thursday, and everybody win i-enbie to i

O'Brien, who played third bnse lst
year for Rochester and right Held for

The signlne of O'Brien has caused the
lelense of FInek, who goes back Into the
New England league. O'Brien will
begin playing with Scranton today. He
is especially valuable es a hitter.
.
Neither Mr. Simpson nor the Brooks
brothers were Informed by Mnnager
McDermoa of the deal whereby Shearon
was traded to Syracuse for Matt Kll
roy. nor of the signing of O'Brien.
Until the first of the week the owners
hud been active in their efforts to assbit
McPermott in signing players but had In
no way Interfered with the manage
ment of the team. Meanwhile the club
was) losing with surprising regularity,
and the fact that the owners so sudden
ly ceased their efforts to Blgn players
and because of their not having been
notified nf the O'Brien and Kitroy ilea's
Indicates tha. here was an understand
ing between Manager McDermott and
owners that the former was henceforth
to assume all responsibility for" the
club's performances. Evidently this
was done with the Idea of knowing
where to attach the blame If the los
ing continued. Manager McDer
mott Is now free to do us he pleuscs;
he Is not, nor has he been restricted
as to co nor is he limited ns to action.
The next two weeks will decide where
the fault lies.
Harper and Johnson will pitch today's
games.the latter at Wilkos-Burrc, and
the former here. Johnson was sent
from Rochester Wednesday night In
order, to get properly rested for the
game. The coaching of Latham and
Ward, (thould with the pitching of
Harper and Johnson, do much toward
giving Scranton n fighting chance for
either same. " Anyhow, Latham will
have a lara.? and expectant following
who have heard of his great wotk on the
lines and ho will get plenty of the en
couragement to do his prettiest and
repent some of the wit and antics
which have for years made him
famous In all the National league
cities.
" Kick a man when he's down: here's
the way Scranton gets It from a versa
tile Rochester scribe: "There Is some
thlnR radically wrong down In Pennsyl
vania. Maybe It's the smoke-laden air:
maybe It's the carboniferous quality of
the soil. But any way, something has
penetrated the tangled thickets and
rocky hills around the straggling huts
of Scranton, and completely paralyzed,
neutralised and disintegrated whatever
talent the ball players, representatives
of that ilk, may have. had. Wllkes
Barre had a pretty bad attack of It.
seemingly cf a chronic nature, to the
unspeakable grief of Colonel John
Chapman, gent., and his white hoodoo,
the little fox terrier which he carries
around In his pocket for luck. Now
comes Scranton In a dangerous condi
tion meriting an Immediate professional
consultation. Scranton's got It worse
than Wllkes-Barre. It Is aggravated.
Nobody on the whole force seems to be
able to play ball as It should be played.
It is really very annoying, especially to
those Napoleonic financiers who have
'backed the deal and furnished the
dough,' as they say down In Scranton
when they mean that the financial sup
port necessary to the successful manip
ulation of a base ball aggregation has
been magnanimously contributed by
philanthropic personages ot consider

PRICES OF WHEELS
ON THE DECLINE
Oatkwk That Prices Will Turtle Before
Next Seuoa.
DEALERS ARE GIY1NQ DISCOUNTS
Caused hy the Large Xantber of Cheap
Haeels on the MarketDepartmeat
Stores Playiag llaroc with Rcgalar
Dealers-Ia Scrnatoa the Catting Is
qnite (ieaeral.
Persons Intending to purchase a bi
cycle may do well to wait until the
end of this or the arrival of another
aeason. The present outlook Indicates
that there Is to be a general falling In
the prices of lirst-class as well as the
cheaper wheels before summer comes
again, says an exchange. Owing to the
fact that there are bo many cheap
wheels on the market, makers of the
standard grade who have been reaping
a harvest for the past few years find
that they will have to come down in
their prices in order to compete with
others who are handling an article
"Just as good."
There has been considerable price
cutting this season already by some of
the dealers who are handling high
grade machines, which practice has,
to all Intents and purposes, been sanc
tioned by the manufacturers them
selves. One Instance referred to by a
handler of high-grade wheels. Is where
a well-known firm who originally al
lowed 26 per cent, discount to agents
and offered a reward of 310 If they re
ported a case of price cutting oh the
part of any of the others.
PROOF OF THE CUTTING.
This offer has recently been with
drawn, however, and a letter Issued
announcing a discount of 40 per cent.,
as a result of which price cutting has
since been active. One Arm which has
manufactured a high grade wheel for
several years past, was forced to come
into line, but as they did not want to
lower the price of thelrutandard make.
they wore compelled to buy out another
plant and they are now manufacturing
a cheaper wheel on the side and are
making a good run against the other
cheap wheels.
The cutting process will probably go
on until the end of the season and then
the bottom will fall out of the prices so
far that there will not be much left to
cut on. One well known Arm who have
a reputation for manufacturing a high
grade wheel which sells for 3100, ad
vertise that although they are making
a cheap wheel, the price on the stand
aid machine will remain the same until
'
would Infer that there wll be a cut on i
tne Part ot thls ar next season and l
mmm-,.,1 hn .w '
the end of this season. From this one
--,". "r , : ,.-': -"rr
,ii.... , ,. ' " " ;.: .u "I
One dealer stated recently that there
was but one wheel In the market on
which there could be no cut made and
that was a cheap one. ' That Is, it is one
of the lower grade and the makers in
looking forward to close competition,
put the fitures for the dealers so low
I that there Is little nrotit In handling
I them and that In order to make any.
I thing from the sale, the wheels have to
be 8olll ,ftt theJr tac v'ue- This gives
I th.e Pul)lic demand to secure a wheel
I ot a greater discount than could be
but they have as yet to learn that les
son. DEPARTMENT STORES.
The department stores ore play'njr
havoc with the bicycle dealers, as the
dry goods merchants and other store
keepers can afford to put in a stock cf
wheels and sell them at a small profit,
which is damaging to the bicycle deal
ers. There must soon be something
dMie, or the dry goods and hardware
stores will soon be controlling the sale
of wheels.
In Scranton the cutting is quite gen
eral. One high grade (?) wheel In par
ticular Is being sold for all kinds of
prices. Some buyers pay 3100 for It,
while others have been given a dis
count of as much as 25 ptr cent.
BICYCLE NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Last week's issue of Wheel Talk,
a Chicago trade paper, contains a well
writttnartlele by Andrew M. Fine of
the Green Ridge wheelmen, this city,
on the foolishness of dealers tn running
down thj wheels handled by their com
petitors liittend of dwelling on the good
points of their own. Mr. Fine contends
that the dealer advertises his competi
tor's whe.el by constantly comparing It
to the wheel he Is trying to stdl the
customer, although he only speaks of
Its "weak points." The writer fully
agrees with the Green Ridge man,
having heard several complaints from
people who were limiting at the many
good wheels handled In our city before
purchasing to the effect that some of
the dealers bored them with harrow
ing tales of hnw many of such and such
wheels were continually breaking down
miles from home, compelling the riders
to walk, or how anxious rome fel'ow
was to trade In his "93" "winner" at
a trrlble sacrifice, and also that this
and that "so ca'led high grade" wheel
Is only worth fifty dollars, etc. About
the only thing such dealers have to
say about their own wheel is "It's the
only bicycle made worth $100, and If
you buy any other you're swindled."
Thats about nil they can say, for ns n
rule such dealers don't know the good
points of their own wheel. If they have
any. Salesmen should not bore cus
tomers with such tales. The customer
wants to know something about the
wheel he has come to see, and not about
the other fellow's wheel.
The Syracuse sextuplet is on exhibi
tion o.t Blttenbendcr and Co.'s bicycle
department on Spruce street. This ma
chine was built by the Syracuse Bi
cycle company In October last for the
express purpose of pacing Hamilton
the great rider for records and paced
him when he rode the fnstest mile ever
ridden on a bicycle. In the remarkable
time of 1.39 2-5. The fnsteet mile ever
made by the sexttinlet on a circular
track wns 1.25. The six men who
ride this Immense machln" which
weighs 190 pounds and Is glared to 140
average 180 pounds In weight. The cap
tain of the team who mans the machine
is big Bob Terrlll, who weighs ?10
pounds and does the steering, which by
the way Is a very dlfflcult feat. The six
men who ride it ar? western wheelmen,
and arc among the best riders In the
cour.try, vot It required three weeks
hard practice for them to larn to rHe
nd balance It properly. Each of the
five rear riders must place his head
on the shoulder of the man in front,
and the pedaling niuft be with the ut
most precision to attain the highest
possible speed.

J. B. Cesser of tart year's Scranton
Bicycle club racing team, but now of
the University of Pennsylvania, won a
final heat In the mile lntercollagate bi
cycle championship at Manhattan
Beech last Wednesday, but was not
given the race because the riders lot fed
and did not get Inside the tlmo limit
placed on the race. Johnnie- was un
fortunate In the second final, and failed
to repeat the performance, being un
able to get a place. , :
The wheelmen In general suffer much
condemnation on account of that much
unexpired member of the-fraternity
commonly known ' as the "scorcher."
As w rule the "rcorcher" is rot the most
accomplished rldor In his locality, and
does not display an unusual degree ot
skill In his manner of riding, - Any one
who can ride a wheel, can "push" tt
around the smooth asphalted street at
a dangerous rate of speed, thereby mak
ing a fool of hlmselr and endangering
the life and limb of pedestrians. Don't
ride as though you owned the eartn.
Just put yourself in the other fellow's
place when you come flying around a
corner at a 10 gait and act according
ly thereafter.
One of the greatest bicycle events ot
the aeason will be the trans-continental
relay race under the auspices of the
New York Journal, and San Francisco
Examiner, both newspapers being
owned by W. R. Hearst. One of Mr.
Hearst's representatives is now on his
way over the course, from the Pacific
slope to New Tork city, making ar
rangements for the race which will oc
cur sometime In July. There will be
between seventeen and twenty relays,
and it is thought the entire distance.
3,500 miles will be covered In fifteen
days, providing the weather Is not un
usually bad.
The people of the little town of Buf
falo, 111., claim the distinction of having
the newest fashion of "hold ups" estab
lished In their town. Instead of riding
Into town on horseback, the robbers,
who had their eyes on the Buffalo bank,
rode quietly into town on bicycles, care
lessly resting their wheels on the curb
outside the bank, walked In. "held up"
the cashier, securing 310,000, and depart
ed as quietly as they came. The horse
has evidently lost another Job.
May 30 Is the "Road racing" day of
the year. Many clubs throughout the
United States conduct "Road" events on
that day, but the two big events are
the Chicago road r' in he west, and
the Irvlngton-Milburn In the east.
The cream of the fraternity la always
found at these two events. The entries
at both places this year are more num
erous than ever. Six hundred and
forty entrlfs were recorded for the
Chicago event.
The thlrd-of-a-mlle bicycle track
promised by the managers of the Driv
ing Park association has as yet fall' d to

the scheme has not entirely "f.llen

have such a track for bicycles only.
Races held on a track of this kind sre

races and has won forty cf them, being
second and third in the two races she
failed to win, and these were over mile
tracks. A few of her races were:
Wheeling, 2.14; Mansfield. 2.14: Dayton,
2.14; McKee's Rock9; 2.12i; Washing
ton, 2.134; Gentleman's driving park,
Baltimore, 2.11; Warren, Ohio, 2.1014.
At Plmllco track, Baltimore, Bhe got
her present mark, 2.10, winning the
three heats in 2.1014. 2.1014 and 2.10. She
has defeated in races Hal Pointer,
2.04; Ben D Avesta G. and a host of
horses with marks of 2.05 or better.
This Is a remarkable record and shows
that Raven Is truly one of the wonders
of the race track. This will be the only
opportunity Scrantonlans will have of
seeing Raven go this year, and the op
portunity should be embraced by every
lover of a fast horse, as she will be driv
en one fast mile by her skillful driver,
Mr. R. C. Westlake, nnd It Is hoped by
the Gentleman's Driving club that the
effort to have one of the fastest horses
In the world go tomorrow, will will be
appreciated Dy a goou attendance.
SCRANTON BICYCLE CLUB RUN.
Will

Shearon, of Cleveland, and Catcher
Ryan, of Qoston, made a good beginning
with Syracuse yesterday. Scranton was
after both of them.
"Big Mike" Mahoney , will pitch for
Georgetown In the game with Cornell at
Athletic park next Wednesday. His nnme
is George Mnhoney, but some base ball
cranks named him "Big Mike" sevornl
years ago because he Is large and bet-aure
he didn't know his proper name. H la Mix
feet four Inches In his stocking foot and,
though he weighs 220 pounds, he Is 'not
Ilephy. As a sprinter he a first-class.
"A player who Is rerlously Injured hy be
ing hit with the pitched ball lone mifh of
his value as a batsman," says Silver
King. "When Charley Rellly .played In
the Columbus team, In the association, I
hit htm on the head with a wild pitch, and
he was senseless for an hour. That set
tled Charley as a batsman. He told no
afterward that he never went to the bat
without the fear that he might be
s;retched senseless by the ball. Before
I Injured him he was a splendid batter.
But batting Is now his weakest point.
Jimmy Ryan, of the Chicago team, was hit
by a pitched ball two years ago, and sinee
then he has a leary habit of shrinking
away from the bat when the ball is
pitched."
At the end of the season of 1S96 there
will be a new club organised. It will be
composed of all Eastern league players,
and all will meet In Philadelphia. The
team Itself Is as strong as any Eastern
league team, and the players that com
pose It are willing they can defeat any
club In the Eastern league. The team wtll
line up as follows: Herndon and Hodso'i,
pitchers; Gunson, catcher; Field, flrst
base; Eagan. second base; Moss, short,
stop; Mulvey, third base ; Lyons, left
neld; Clymer, center held; Meany, right

To The Tribune's error In accrediting the
Springfield I'nlon with what we termel
"a nasty fling at Manager McDermott, '
the I'nlon replies: "Be a little more cir
cumspect out there. The I'nlon will take
credit or blame for anything It says, hut
not for this squib which you clipped from
the Providence Telegram and which never
btfore appeared in these columns. Your
apology will be accepted." The office cat
ought to make the apology, as It was he
who made the error in the absenre of the
usual head of this department. We don't
blame "Sy" for wanting even an apology
Springfield Is getting so little these days,
and we know how it is ourselves.
