IT WAS PITIFUL.
Meaney Lucked Control and Horner
Was Too Ensy for Any I'sc.
And when It was all over there was
no doubt about how It happened. In
plain liuigUugo, and In what In termed
polite language In the base ball ver
nacular we were "wrottin." And we
didn't have a pitcher who was In proper
shape to go through the manoeuvera
of dishing out deceptive shoots and
things. Johnson having pitched Mon
day's game In Wilkes-Barre and Ilar
p. being reserved for the barbecue
down there tomorrow. So Meaney es
sayed to do the twirling but lucked
control imhI was taken out In the third
inning, Horner replacing him.
Horner was jiift the kind of pie the
Alligators were looking for and when It
was ftll ever they had touched l;!m up
a lilt for 94 base. Meanwhile,
nearly the whole Scranton tenm hod
become alfilcted with the flutters and
had tolled up eight luscf-ius errors
which contributed largely toward the
Alligators' '12 runs. Scranton making- 6.
Before the game was played It was
forfeited to 'Wilkes-Ham by the score
of 4 to 0. This was on the decision cf
Vmplre Gaffney and wot owing to the
absence of any new bulls with which
to begin the game. Then there re
mains the question whether Wllkes
Harre should be credited with two vic
tories or one. otllelully, they won two
games and so It will have to stand
until tiali'ncy's decision is reversed. It
(ill hinges on the hour advertised for
starting. Manager Chapman clalniM he
v.'aii notified the game should have be
gun at 3.45 o'clock while the Scranton
management claims 4 o'clock as the
hour. Uuffney decided with Wllkes
Barre. . STAHTIXO TIME DlSPl'TK.
The game played was not an exhibi
tion game but was the one scheduled for
Saturday ul'ternuon and which was
postponed by rain, so Mnnaser Chap
man contends. Scranton holds that ihe
gome was the or.e regularly scheduled
for yeserday, the cliiim lielup baaed on
the 1 previous claim that 4 O'clock and
iiut S.15 was the hour for sterling.
While ,4 o'clock is the official
hour for starting, according to
the nssoclnllon minute book, th'? um
pire's decision must ntand for the pres
ent though it la bound to be reversed.
Howard Luckey. the young Avoca
boy,, pitched for Wilkes-Barre and his
efforts were encouraged by scores of
Avoclans who attended the game es
pecially to witness his maiden effort In
this region In professional company.
That Luckey has the make-up of a
coming pitcher there la no doubt, but
the 10 hit3 o:f him, 9 bases on balls and
a strike-out la not a particularly cred
it tblij performance under the very fa
vorable conditions under which he ap
peared yesterday. The score indicates
that in a less one-sided game Luckey
would not hae fared so well, though
It should be considered that he worked
under the disadvantage of being on
dress parade before a familiar audi
ence. Scranton again presented a crazy
quilt make-up. Through a hitch in the
deal for "Sandy" Grlffln, the Wllkes
Harre outfielder and thJ failure of
O'Drlen to report from Itochester It was
necessary to begin the game with
, "Beatty" Williams on first. Ward In
center and Johnson In right. A fur
ther change was made when Horner
entered the Xnr. In the third. Ward
going from center to right In place of
Johnson, and Meaney going to center.
About 2,500 persons were present
.when began the chewing match be
tween Manager Chapman and Captain
Hutchinson over the absence of new
balls and the hour for play. It waa
.only-liot to disappoint the audience that
Scranton consented to play other than
an exhibition game.
- ". THINGS LOOKED ROSY.
Scranton went first to bat and things
looked rosy when Latham got four

Hutchinson's hit. A fungo by Meaney
ar.d. after two were out, a base on balls
to Kafferty tilled the buses but Magutre
grounded out to Karl. Wllkes-Barre
also scored one In the first on a force
hit, a single and a fly to the outfield.
Wllkes-Barre e cored a home run on a
fluke in the second, or rather by stupid
fielding. Mc.Mahon sent a long fly over
Eagan's head to the fence. The hit
should not have been good for more
than three bases but the ball was field
ed from Bagan to Ward, to Maguire to
Latham, when it should have been hur
ried fast home or to third on not more
than two assists. This gave the Alli
gators a lead of one run, but Scranton
tallied three times In the third on two
bases on balls. Eagan's single and
Smith's throw to double Eagan at sec
ond when the bases were full, the ball
striking Eagan on the back and going
Into right field.
Then came the slaughter. Meaney
had In the first two Innings shown a
luck of control and In the beginning
of the third two runs came In on an
error by Latham, a base on balls, a
wild pitch, an error by Williams and a
single. A base on balls filled the bases
unci Meaney asked Captain Hutchinson
to take him out of the box.
Diggtns was at this point substitut

pearance In the game by smashing a

All three leaders won yesterday and
there was more than one surprise.
Iiouisvllle all but shut out the Bostons.
The latter scored In the ninth after
two men were out. Pond pitched mag
nificent ball for Baltimore, the Pltts
burg3 being finally retired with but
four hits. Cincinnati played all around
Philadelphia and won. At no time did
the Quukers figure In the contest. Eh

teries for tint home team until

RACIN0 TALENT OF SCRANTON
Not in Good Shape for the Allentown
EventfMr. Lansing's Bicycle Or
dinance Not What Is De ircdA
Proper Measure M ill Meet With No
Objection from Majority of Bicycle
Riders.
The question as to how wheelmen
should bathe after returning from a
ride has been extensively discussed by
doctors, whose Ideas have been trans
mitted here and there through many
bicycle publications. The following
directions, which appeared In last
week's Bicycle News, may interest
the readers of this column.
First, satisfy yourself that you need
a bath. Then go to the bath room. Be
sure and do this. If you do not go
to the bathroom you will find It incon
venient to take a bath. Before getting
Into the tub take off your clothes. This
Is very essential. Bathing with the
clothes on Is positively Injurious. After
you have got into the tub turn on the
water. You will find that the water Is
wet. If It were not wet you would miss
half the pleasure of the bath. Lie
down In the tub and let the water en
compass you. Be sure you do this for
If you He down In the tub and turn the
water on and do not let the water touch
you the effect cannot be beneficial.
See that the water is either warm,
cold or tepid, that U also Important.
Rub yourself with the water. The water
Is Imperishable; It will not wear out.
After you have rubbed yourself with
the water, rub yourself with the towel.
That is now considered one of the best
plans for drying one's self after a bath.
In son-o countries the people simply
walk out In the street, where the sin
will drv them, but In this country the,
towel Is recognized as the proper ar
ticle. After you ara dry put on your
clothes. This is also a recognized part
of th? bath. By followlrg these In
structions you will ascertain that cy
cling Is not injurious at all. When you
feci like it. take another bath.
Three of our racing men, Keller.
White and Keons, made their flrut ap
pearance this seasbn In the Allentown
races lam Saturduy. Koona clearly
demonstrated the fact that he Is a
"comer," winning second place In two
hotly contested events. White and
Keller were not In good condition, a fati
very evident by their work, which was
not up to the standard of their poorest
last year's performances. Both of these
young men are good riders, ar.d are
capable of good work when In condition.
They have plenty of time to gel in tin"
shape for their next contest, which will
probably take place in Wllkes-Barre on
July 3 and 4, and at which time they
will no doirbt give a good account of
themselves.
Three of our local racing men who
will commence the season on July 4,
either at Wllkes-Barre or Blnghamten,
arc Oregory. Coleman and Dunn. The
two former have done considerable rac
ing, but Dunn Is compnrtlvely new at
the business, nevertheless he shows
considerable speed and may become a
dangerous rival for the local flyers.
Gregory is one of the most promising
riders In northeastern Pennsylvania.
Although he did not train last season,
his work season before last clearly dem
onstrated him to be a. fine sprinter, with
a good head and fine staying qualities.
He Is now much stronger and better
developed than In '9 and Is In the
opinion of many the fastest man here
abouts. But in speaking of speedy rid
ers, we mustn't forget "Chick" Cole
man. "Chick" can probably follow a
hotter pace than any of the riders here
abouts, with possible one exception, but
showed himself rather timid In a
"bunch" last season, thereby losing sev
eral prizes that he might have cap
tured with a little more "nerve." There
Is a good bunch of speed "boys" in this
city, and the competition between them
this season will be very lively.
an
One thing Is certain, Mr. Lansing does
not ride a wheel, nor does he intend
doing so In the near future. Several
clauses In his ordinance are ridiculous.
For instance, when a rider comes to the
bottom of Lackawanna avenue hill, he
must walk up In the middle of the
road, as his wheel Is not allowed on the
sidewalk, even though the rider is push
ing It along. None of our good wheel
men want to ride on the side walks nor
do they object to bells and lanterns if
the councils see fit to require their uni
versal use, but they certainly do object
to having their wheels registered, and
tagged, and don't like the idea of push
ing their wheels through the middle of
crowded streets (in case of a puncture,
a mishap which compels a rider to walk
to the nearest repair shop), at the peril
of being run down by drivers of other
vehicles. Wheelmen are human beings,
and the idea that they want the earth
Is all "rot" 'TIs true that there are
many undeslred members In the fra
ternity, as In everything else, but the
law-abiding, sensible, majority should
not be annoyed and burdened on ac
count of a few of these "lunatics." Give
us a reasonable ordinance, Mr. Lansing,
and we won't put in a "single kick."
ft o
The Chicago Record has mounted all
of their reporters on bleyclew. The city
editor says the news gatherers cover
twice the ground In half the time on
wheels than they could on street cars,
etc.
Burt Fister and Hnrrjr Snyder rode to
Bloomsburg on Saturday last, a dls
tance of sixty-five miles.
Many West Side wheelmen rode to
Wllkes-Barre Saturday and saw the
Scranton base ball club win a game.
CORNELL -GEORGETOWN.
Today's Base Unll (..ante Is Being
Anxiously Anticipated.
The game between the base ball
teams of Cornell and Georgetown col- I
leges will begin at 4 o'clock thla after- j
noon at Atnletlo porn; Tn.e usual
prices and ground rules will prevail,
which Includes the admission of car-'
riages. The two teams wlK be quar
tered at the Hotel Jermyn.
There are three conditions which will
make the game an interesting one: It
will attract a large attendance. 'as each
college has a host of admirers in the
city; there la an Intense athletic rivalry
between the two universities, and the
game will be the only college game here
this summer. Georgetown supporters
will display the colors, blue and gray,
while crimson and white will designate
Cornell's friends.
The Georgetown men will come from
New York city here, and the Cornell
team will come from Philadelphia,
where they played the University of
Pennsylvania yesterday.

is little doubt that Griffin will play here.

LIKE EACH OTHER.
Australians Believe That They Have
the Best Boxers in the World.
Australian fighters have a wonderful
liking for each other, and they stick by
each other like brothers in a foreign
land. Owen Sullivan, talking of the big
fighters, the other day, said: "I have
never seen Corbett, but from what I
heard about him, he muxt be a wonder
ful fighter, still wonder that he Is, I
think If they ever fight that he will find
FitzRimmons a very dangerous antag
onist. I haven't seen Fltzslmmons in a
ting since he left Australia, and I have
heard a great many say that be Is only
'a lucky fighter.' It may be that he Is
only 'lucky,' but my opinion Is that he
has a great blow that can put any n'a.t
out. If he gets It In on him. and, know
ing this, his whole policy Is lo mnnoeu
ver so as to get a chance to lard It.
"In doing this he nay awnr e'V
ward and get a irvvl deal cf thumping,
but the record of his contests Is that no
mettcr how poorly he mav apnea r to
fight before, when he gets that blow In
hl man Is gon He may even fight
poorly for a while In order to deceive his
man. You know when you ore flghtlnfj
with a man end you ars having a bit
the best of it, you are apt to grow over
confident and to become carel'sn, ll!fe.
Maybe Fltz 'Jollies' his men on until he
ir- ta the opening he w.-mts. When he
gets It. I natlce there lun't much more
firrht left In his man. When they come
to. they clnim that the blow was a.
'fluke' or 'chance blow.' but It Is st-nmre
that Jim Hall, ,To Choynlskl, Pet?r
Ma her and the others, nil sing the same
tune. I'm not saying, mind you, that
Fltzslmmons can whip Corbett, but am
saying that I think be has a chp.nce
against any man in the ring today."
Perhaps Bob mav trv bis 'chance' in
London. He Is an F.iircl'shman born, and
though he has declared his Intention of
becoming a citizen of the United States,
nnd has taken nut his preliminary pa
pers for naturalization, he remains an
Englishman In fcllng. and blood, we
all know, Is thicker than water."

AGAINST THE WHEEL
Old Order of Dunkards Says the Bi
cycle and Gold Tooth Fillings Are
Abomination.
The use of the bicycle and the employ
ment of gold as a filling for teeth were
condemned as unbecoming by the old
order of Dunkards, In session at Cov
ington, Ohio. The questions were pro
pounded for discussion in the public
council. The bicycle problem was at
tacked first.
"Is It advisable to own or use a bi
cycle?" was 'decided In the negative af
ter a long discussion, on the authority
of Luke, xvi:15, and Romans, xil:2. The
first authority Is the more direct, and
Is as follows:
And he said unto them: Ye are they
which justify yourselves before men.
but God knoweth your hearts; for that
which Is highly esteemed among men la
abomination In the sight of the Lord.
The bicycle Is highly esteemed among
men; therefore says the old order of
Dunkards, the bicycle Is an abomina
tion. "Is tt right to have the teeth filled
with sold?" wan the final question.
t was decided that gold tooth fillings
are. an adornment and must be es
chewed. THE KEELEY CURE

London, June 2. The English bicycle
world is deeply excited over the Simp

take place at the Catford track near
London next Saturday. Simpson has
wagered 1.000 ($5,000) to 100 ($500)

By way of rendering assurance doubly

the record, and several others.
The editor of the Irish Field, a physi

took ud the challenge, but has been
left with second grade men to ride for

the race takes place there will be a

Washington, .Tune 2. There has been
a good detl of tulk in regard to the pos

which are to be sold at $10 ai d J12 icch.
Heprentatlve Newlauds of Nevada,
recently presented a resolution In the
ht.use of representatives, adopted by
the chamber of commerce of San Fi a
ctsco, calling the attention of congress
of the country to the invasion of manu
fastured products from oriental coun
tries, particularly Japan. He made a
short address at the time, and spoke ot
the sates of bicycles at 312 each, which
were Imported from Jajan and sold in
San Francisco.
K. It. Burr of this city sent a copy
of Mr. Newlar.ds' remarks to A. J

personal friend, requesting that the
Japanese consul of Sn Francisco be
shown the clipping. This waa done,
and a reply received os follows:

no bicycles manufactured as yet In Ja

labor In Japan Is very, very cheap, yet
this country does not produce the ma
terlal necessary, but as his people were
quick to observe, at Rome time they
perhi'.'i might Imitate our wheels,
though only by getting material from
Europe or America. This, he claimed,
was really compulsory. In which event
they could not afford to place them on
our market for 325. He Informed me
that he received many letters dally on

Wefcrs Tells How He Did It.
Wefers. of Georgetown college, has
this to say of his making 220 yards In
21 1-5 at the Intercollegiate games on
Saturday:
"I made a new world's record the
220-yard dash because I think I was
better trained and In better condition
than my competitors. I had made
careful preparations for the Intercol
leglate games and never In my life was
I more fit for a race.
"When the pistol went off I was in
motion: but I did not have the best of
It, I simply got off very well. I put
forth every exertion from the begin
ning, and I think led from the start. I
knew that in my training I had covered
the distance on the Georgetown unl
verslty grounds in 2l seconds, and I
felt that I could heat even that. My
trainer, W. H. Foley, had Incited me
to do my best, and I was also very
much encouraged by "Mike" Murphy,
the Yale trainer. Both of them told
me before I went to the starting point
that it was well within my power to es
tabllsh a new world's record.
"I did my best throughout. No kind
of urging could have made me go fast
er. I never saw any of my competitors
after the start, for I was In front all
the way. Fifty yards from the finish
I was going well within myself and an
I was then clear of the others I felt
pretty sure of winning. I put all my
reserve strength m tne final suurt.. and
had nothing left: ;I was at the limit of
my speed and endurance, and I don't

life depended upon It."

TO CUKE DYSPEPSIA.
A New Brrnedv Which Will Uw It.
Chronic Dyspepsia Is considered by
many people to be nearly if not quite
incurable. No good reason can be
given why they think so except that
perhaps tbey have tried various reme
dies without much, if any benefit.
But the progress In every branch of
medicine has been such that among
other things a lasting euro for Indi
gestion in its chronic orra as well as
temporary has been discovered and la
now placed before the pubHo strictly
on Its merits as a permanent cure for
all stomach troubles or difficulties with
the digestive organs.
This new treatment la called Stuart'
Dyspepsia . Tablets, being put up In
lauiei rorrn so as to Be easily taken and
aiso to preserve Its good qualities for
an Indefinite length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising
effects In the worst forms of Indiges
tion, ana in many cases where ordin
ary remedies failed to give even relief.
oiuuri iyspepsia Tablets nav fully
cured.
The splendid results from uslns- thla
preparation are owing to the fact that
it is prepared and Intended fr Dys
pepsla and stomach troubles only.
11 not a cure-all like so many ad
vertlsed remedies, claiming to cure
everything under the sun, but it la
claimed that It Is a certain oure for
Dyspepsia and anyone suffering from
any form of indigestion cannot fall to
gpt permanent relief and cure from Its
use.
It Is so prepared and the Ingredients
are of such a nature that when the tab-
are Tasen into me stomacn they
digest the, food no matter whether the
stomach is' in good working order or
not.
You get sustenance and strength to
mind and body by reason of the food
being properly digested and at the
same time the much abused stomach to
auoweu iu rest ana recuperate.
Notwithstanding the great benefits
to be derived, this preparation Is very
reasonable in price, costing but SA eenta
per package at druggists. Send to Stu
art Co.. Marshall, Mich., for little book
on stomach diseases er ask your drug
gist for it.
