fusal of President Young to call the
board together as final and Is preparing-
to make this city his home during

cept the situation and not play ball.
"I will not accept anything short of
what I have demanded," he said, "and
propose to Btand on that demand, and
I guess I'll not play ball this summer."

DIAMOND DUST.
McOraw expects to rejoin the Haiti
mores In a few days.
Boston got only three hits off Terry, of
the Chicagos, yesterday.
Cardinal Satolli saw the game at bos
ton Thursday, it being the first base ball
contest he had ever witnessed.
Says the Toronto lllobe: "What the
Toronto!) lack Is a home run hitter. Free,
man last season performed that feat with
great frequency, but this year, though iie
has improved notably in tielding, he has
fallen o(T greatly In batting. O'Brien,
from a hitting standpoint. Is the star of
the tsam .but Delehanty is the surest and
most reliable batsman. He makes the
opposing twlrlers pitch to him all the
time. It Is claimed by Manager
Buckenberger that Left Fielder O'Brien is
the best throwing fielder In the league. It
is an easy thin for him to throw out a
man at the plute from deep In the Held.
A trial will le made shortly to ascertain
exactly how fur he can propel the sphere."
Whew! what a roast for Jack Chapman!
There must be trouble in the Jabbering
camp of Wllkes-Karre directors to occa
sion the following whh'h appeared In yes
terday's News-Dealer: Something has to
be don-? to make the Wllkes-Barre club
win games. We want a new manager and
one badly. Chupman has been a failure
from the start and the results of his In
competency are growing more noticeable
each day. The cluh instead of improving
is growing worce, the men are falling off
In their playing and arc putting up a
game which they are doubtless heartily
ashamed of, and every lover of the game
shares this feeling. The boys can play
much better ball, and they will do It un
der proper management. It Is evident,
however, that as long as Chapman re.
mains In charge they will not Improve.
Many years ago Chapman was a fairly
good manager, since then he has been
a failure in every base ball venture he
has undertaken. He doea not know how
to manage a team and there are many rea
sons for this. His ideas are gray-haired,
he does not know the game as it should be
played today, and Is thus unable to en
courage or direct the players. He is a
backnumber. Witness the other day when
he was coaching his men from the bench,
Arlle Latham, who was at bat, turned and
stocking trick, chalq up. old man." He
cried "Why Jack that's an old lS'iO red-
Is far from popular with the players De
cause he is a bulldozer. If they make nn
error he will growl at them when they
come to the bench, "that'll cost you $10
next time." Naturally under this threat
the boys are not anxious to try for hard
chances or.d this Is one of the reasons
their playing has fallen off to such m
extent. The dissatisfaction is not confined
to the players nnd the people, the direc
tors, it can be stated on excellent author
ity, are greatly dls;at;sfled with Chap
man and some have already suggested hia
discharge. He was foisted on WUkes
Barre by President Powers, and came
here with the understanding that he would
make up his $1,000 salary by Ms good man
nwment. This in fact was the secret of
his getting the position, the directors knew
he would not be able to make the club ft
factor in the pennant race, but expected
to make money, as he was supposed to be
a shrewd manager and make big money.
The matter in a nutshell Is this: Chap
man Is not a success as a manager nnd
the quicker he Is discharged the better
It will be for the club, its percentage, and
for the financial part of the concern."

While the official record shows that
Scranton and Wllkes-Barre have each
won three games in the series Just
closed, Scranton has won three and
Wllkes-Barre two of the games actual
ly played, as one of the games was for
feited to Wilkes-Barre on a technicality
by a score of 9 to 0. Our position was
eighth and the percentage .261 when iie
series started, but at the close of the
last game In the series Thursday our
position was seventh and percentage
310, a gain In position and percentage
notwithstanding the forfeited game.
The Jump upward Is one gratifying
fact, but another cause for congratula
tion Is that Scranton made one more
run, six more hits and two .more stolen
bases than the Alligators, while they
made four more errors. Scranton did
It, too, with a patchwork team In evry
game but the last one. It was the first
series Scranton has won since a period
so long ago that the cranks cannot re
member the exact date.
A new first baseman, Charles Zeldler,
of Brooklyn, has been signed, who,
with Grlfnn In the outfield, gives Scran
ton a full complement of men and to
spare If Zeldler proves to be all that has
been claimed for him. He has been
playing semi-professional boll in and
around Brooklyn and was recommended
by Pitcher Harper and Dave Fouts, of
the Brooklyns, with whom Zeldler prac
ticed and tried for a position at the be
ginning of the season. He Is now In
the city and will possibly play In the
game against Toronto today. He Is
about six feet tall, of slender build, and
Is 25 years old.
The signing of Zeldler will, If he
proves competent, make It possible to
keep Hutchinson on second or send
Ward back there. It being his regular
position and which he played up to the
time It became necessary to change the
players around owing to the absence of
a regular first baseman. Manager Mc
Dermott will not return until today and
In his absence It cannot be stated
whether he will assign Hutchinson or
Ward to second base. It Is a position
which needs to be filled by the most
competent and experienced of the two
candidates and Ward seems to be the
right one. His selection at least would
be better appreciated by the patrons of
the game, but that Is only one point In
Ward's favor. His speed on the bas'-s,
his steals, hitting and superior knowl
edge of tne game and points of advant
age In a play are qualities which Mc-
Dermott cannot very well overlook. It
Is not well to cast aside the opinions of
the cranks; individually, their views are
worthless, but collectively the popular
wish of the patrons of the game is soiiie-
thing which cannot be set aside.
It was not known that Eddie Rafferty
caught Thursday's game with a badly
crippled throwing hand. His thumb
was swelled to twice Its usual size and
the nail of the third finger was split
nearly half of its length. He sustained
the injuries in Wednesday's game at
Wllkes-Barre.
Unless Rafferty's hand Improves
greatly, "Dutch" Berger, the Jolly Teu
ton Just signed, will catch Harper to
day. Berger can do It well enough, as
he was Harper's support last year In
nearly every game the twirler pitched
for Rochester. Rafferty, however, will
not be kept out of the game any oftener
than Is absolutely necessary, as he has
rounded Into splendid catching form, is
steady as a clock, throws well and stood
fifth In the league In hitting at the close
of last month.
Some of the Wllkes-Barre directors
are still kicking and disposed to try
to make trouble for their mnnngcr.

Is ntilutally cautious, knowing th
trouble that has been brewing over the
matter, and asked the Scranton man
apement not to insist upon his signing
a contract at once. His request wns
granted though Griffin was perfectly
willing to sign If It was Insisted upon.
The Scranton owners gave Griffin the
same fair treatment which has from
the start been accorded every player on
the team, but there Is an agreement
that he shall sign Just as soon as he
Is satisfied that the deal was properly
made. He Is perfectly satisfied to play
here. There Is no hitch on that account
Tom Power Is yet In town, but he Is
slow to recover from the severe illness
which began three weeks ago. No per
son regrets his Inability to get in the
game more than Power does himself
and an Injustice has been done him by
some Knstern league writers who have
hinted that he was playing sick In order
to set his release. He has been a very
sick man and even now is far from
well.

correct It will take some mighty stiff

once, possibly today.
BICYCLE NEWS AND GOSSIP.
The Green Ridge Wheelmen, headed
by Captain Charles Corr, rode to Oly
phant Thursday evening. They were
entertained by the Suburban wheelmen
of that town for a few hours. Light
refreshments were served before ttfe
visitors started home.
Chairman Gideon of the League of
American Wheelmen racing board,
dropped his as on the necks of the
University of Pennsylvania's racing
team last Wednesday, thereby declaring
them professionals, which prohibits
them from competing with amateurs.
One of the victims of this latest declara
tions of Gideon's is the popular Johnny
Oorser, who rode with the Scranton
Bicycle Club's team last season. Cor
ser is In fine form and up to date, his
work this season has been of the gilt
edge variety and the transfer Into the
ranks of professionals Is a heavy blow.
Cause of removal was "expenses paid."
The bicycle ordinance was presented
to the select council Thursday evening
In a slightly modified form. Indeed so
slight were the modifications that it Is
nearly as objectionable as before. The
registration fee Is reduced from $1.00
to 35 cents and specifies that the money
thus obtained shall be expended In re
pairing streets. Cycles must be equip
ped with bells and lanterns, coasting, or
riding with hands off handle bars Is for
bidden. Speed Is limited to eight miles
an hour, riding or propelling a cycle on
the sidewalk Is prohibited. After talk
ing to many wheelmen on the revised
edition of the ordinance of which the
foregoing Is the substance, the writer
finds that they all object to the clause
compelling them to register their
wheels, and also to that section which
prohibits the riding or propelling cycles
en sidewalks. They say that as regards
riding on sidewalks the ordinance Is
all right but the word "propelling" Is the
source of a big "kick" as it prohibits a
rider from walking with his wheel on
the sidewalk. In case of accident a
puncture for Instance which frequent
ly occurs and whenever a rider, either
lady or gentleman, comes to a steep
grade, so many of which can be found
In our city, he or she (being unable to
ride) must walk In the dusty road, it
being a misdemeanor to walk on the
sidewalk with a bicycle. Walking In
the road is disagreeable to anyone and
wheelmen are human. Another ques
tion which Is agitating the cyclists Is
'Will out of town wheelmen, who pass
through this city dally, be liable to
arrest unless their wheels are regis
tered in this city. If so the registration
clause Is Impracticable, and should be
stricken out along with the word 'pro
pelling.' "
An old lady visiting in Buffalo dur
ing a cycle club parade seeing the sign
of a popular Syracuse wheel reading
"Dodge Bicycles," exclaimed: "Well I
swan, If that ain't good advice. I ain't
done nothln' else since I got' here."
The officials of our cities seem to be
leaving no stone unturned for the safety
of pedestrians from bicycle accidents.
The cyclist is compelled to have a bell
and lamp on his machine in most cities.
which Is no more than right. At the
same time when the pedestrian becomes
a bicycle rider what protection does he
get? The "lamp law-" should work
both ways. Drivers of vehicles on pub
lic thoroughfares after dark should be
compelled to carry lamps. Its a fact
that about 9 per cent of the vehicles,
ther than delivery wagons, etc., have
side lamps which burn either candles
or oil, yet one Is seldom lighted. Every
bicycle rider, knows how easy it is to
run very close to a wagon or carriage
after dark on some of our streets be.
fore seeing them. This is especially
true of the boulevards and In case of
collision the wheelman Is Invariably the
Injured person. It Is a fact that a
lamp or candle on a carriage or wagon
Is not at all troublesome as compared
to the trouble a cyclist is In, constantly
trylnir to get- a lamp that will burn
bright and keep light and at the same
time not get hot, and many other faults
which the bicycle lamp manufacturers
have tiot been uble to overcome. A hu
man life Is worth as much on a bicycle
as off and It Is time our law mukeis
arrived at that conclusion.
The newest cycle organization In this
city, the West Side Wheelmen, Is In a
flourishing condition. They have not
secured a club house as yet but have
several desirable houses in sight and
will be permanently located In a short
time. The membership has already
reached the fifty mark.
HADFIELD GOES TO LAW.
Will Ask for a Chancery Decision on
His Disqunlitlcntion.
The unpleasantness In connection
with the winning of the Irvingtun-Mil-burn
road race has become more seri
ous. The race was by far the best ever
contested on the famous course, and
wheelmen are annoyed that notoriety
should be connected in any way with
the cycling derby. The disqualification
of Charles Hadfield and the awarding
of first prize to Alexander has made
matters so serious that the affair will go
into the courts. An injunction Is to be
applied for In the chancery court by
President Freedman W. Neefus of the
Vim Bicycle club, restraining Mr. Pit
man, the refereee, or the Metropolitan
Association of Cycling clubs from dis
tributing the prizes until Charles Had
field of Newark, who won but was pro
tested, shall be given an opportunity
to disprove the charge that he was
paced, which charge led to his disquali
fication.
On Hadfleld's finishing he was hailed
on an slues as tne winner and was
hurried to his quarters In the Lock-
wood hotel, rubbed down and put to bed
After an hour a man came into his room
and notified him that he had been dis
qualified and the race awarded to Alex
ander, who finished second. Hadfield,
against the advice of his friends, got
out of bed, dressed himself and went
to the Hilton hotel, where Mr. Pitman,
the referee, and a number of the race
officials had gathered. He was again
told that he had been disqualified, and
was also Informed that the action had
been taken because he had permitted
himself to be paced. Hadfield denied
the charge most vigorously. The pro
test, he was told, had been entered
against htm as soon as the officials had
assembled at the Hilton hotel, Imme
dlately after the race. Many of the of
ficials themselves said that they had
noticed the alleged pacing, and it was
largely upon their testimony that Had
field had been disqualified.
Hadfield asked why such action had
been taken before giving him a chance
to be heard, and was told that he had
been sent for but could not be found,
He asked whether there was any higher
authority to whom be could appeal, but
the refereee, ht says, gave him no sat'
isfactlon. Who It was that gave the al
leged pacing no one seems to know,
except that It was a young man In a
red raclag suit, who wore no number,
and was therefore supposed to be an
outsider. Several who had watched the
racer and the alleged pacer say that the
Intentions of the latter were not at all
friendly to Hadfield. '
