ROCHESTER TODAY.
The Club Comes Here Swelled with
Its Victory Over Cincinnati.
Rochester comes here today. It will
be the first game played by Dan Shan
non's Brownies In this city this Beason.
If the weather Is full- It is probable that
large crowd will see the game, on
Shannon's account, on account of the
several familiars on the team and es
pecially In view of the club's victory
over Cincinnati yesterday.
Scranton has ho:os of winning. The
Barons may be expected to show a new
and more spicy spirit under "Sandy"
Grlllln, the new manager, and with Har
per In the box they will play under great
encouragement. Johnson should be in
condition to pitch a winning game to
morrow, so if the Barons win today it
Is highly probable that they will cap
ture the second game.
The game prevented by rain Saturday
will be played Friday, an open date, a
day when Rochester would have been
lying Idle at Wllkes-Barre.
LEAGUE "CAST 0FFS.'
.Host or Present Champions Have
Been Released by Some Club.
There is one word In the lexicon of a
base ball game thnf Is wofully miscon
strued. "Cast-off" Is meant. In
Quakerdom the Scribes and Pharisees
can not forgive the Reds for the trounc-
Ings they gave their own pet sluggers.
Horace Kogel says: "The Clnclnnatis
furnish an illustration of what good
team work by Inferior players can ac
complish againHt poor team work by
an aggregation of stars. The differ
ence between the Phillies and Clncln
nutis Is that the former are an aggre
Ration of stars, who do not play ball,
while the latter are a lot of cast-offs,
who pull together for victory." That
s rather a broad assertion, but to make
himself clear, this Keystone sage draws
diagram. He continues: " 'Cast-offs'
may Bound strange, but the term Is
more applicable to Cincinnati than to
any other of the league teams. With
the exception of Miller, Peltx and Mc
Phee and possibly one or two others all
the Clnclnnatis ure so-called cast-offs.
Burke Is a Philadelphia and New York
cast-off; Hoy is a Washington cast-off;
Ewing is a Now York and Cleveland
cast-off; Smith is a Brooklyn cast-off
Dwycr and Irwin are Chicago cast-offs;
Gray Is a Philadelphia cast-off; Fore
man Is a Baltimore cast-off; Vaughn Is
Louifivllle cast-off; Rhines was cast
off by Cincinnati, and lost year and the
season before rone of the minor league
clubs wanted him, but, though Individ
ually Inferior, these men are collective
ly playing superior ball Just now to the
Philadelphia stars (?) and they deserve
all the more credit for It."
Every player now under contract to
a league club who once drew salary
from another league aggregation, if.
according to this sweeping arraign
ment, "a cast-off." The "stars" who
were so bedlmmed that they didn't
twinkle for a week have a cast-off or
two among them. Dan Brou titers. Jack
Boyle, Willie McGlll and Con Lucid
what, oh, what are they? Using the
same measure, Baltimore classes above
Cincinnati as a haven of refuge for the
rejected. Brooklyn gave a quit claim
to Billy Keeler, Pittsburg threw In Joe
Kelley to complete a deal. Louisville
turned tvc-r Hugh Jennings and St.
Louis counted Walter Brodle and Ar
thur Clarkson. out. Charley Esper and
George Hemming have all been bobbing
around like corks 011 the surface of a
mill pond, and Jack Ryan, just rcl?ased
by Boston, has been grabbed. One
might run through the roster of the
twelve and find examples enough to fill
a column without the use of leads.
HURT IN PRACTICE.
Billy Iitish Says .More Players Arc In
jured There Thnn in Games.
'More players are Injured during
practice work than In the game," says
Billy Lush. "This Is due altogether to
carelessness. When I was practicing In
Rochester last year I ran for a fly
knocked me by Delehanty. The ball
crushed Into the second finger of my
left hand, breaking and damaging it so
badly that I was crippled for the re
mulnder of the season. If I had held
my hands properly I would not have
been hurt. It taught me a lesson, and
when 1 practice now I am as careful as
If I were playing."
"Turkish baths are death to
pitcher's effectiveness If he goes In the
box a few hours after emerging from
the hath," says Charley King. "In 1889
I played on the St. , Louis Browns, in
the old American association, and lort
one of my games 'through the weak
ness that came of a Turkish bath.
contracted a bad cold and a physician
advised me to boll It out by the Turk'
ish application. I followed his advice.
and the next day pitched against Kan
sas City. I was fairly effective till the
ninth inning, during which I became
faint and dlzsy, and the Cowboys past
ed mo for eleven earned runs. Charley
ComUkey and Tom McCarthy finished
up the Inning In the box.".
"I have never seen Amos Rusle's like
as a pitcher," says Jim McQulre. "Rusle
had all the requirements of a twlrler
speed, command and curves. ' His
curves were aa fast as the speedy ball
of the average pitcher, and he could
get himself out of a tight place where
other pitchers failed with three balls
against him. KubIo would fool the
batsmarl out of walking to first by
whistling the next over the plate, com
pelting hta victim to strike at the ball
or have a strike called on him. Rusie'i
great powes was hta command of the
ball, and no one knr It better than the
batsmen. That ta why h retired so
many nien after two or three ball and
no strike were vailed on him."
NEW CATCHER'S MASK.
W orks wila a Spring and Dees Not
Have to Be Removed for foals.
From the Buffalo Enquirer.
Every attendant at base ball games
has noticed how much a catcher's mask
Is In his way when he runs to catch a
foul ball, or when he goes to the plate
to receive a thrown ball to head off a
runner. He must first throw the mask
off and then run the chance of stepping
on It or stumbling over It Then, when
the play Is over, there Is a delay of two
or three minutes while he readjusts his
cap and mask.
What would you think of a mask that
can Instancy be thrown up and out ot
the way, like the visor of a helmet, ana
which can be as quickly brought in
place again before the catcher'a face.
Such a mask, however, has been Invent
ed, and by a Hartford (Conn.) man, and
all who have seen It declare It will un
doubtedly supersede the old masks. It
is the invention of William Cray, who.
way back In the days when Billy Bar-
nle caught for the Hartford club, con
ceived the Idea that a mask to protect
the catcher's face would be a good
thing. His idea was then laughed at
by ball players and others Interested
In the game, so he did nothing with it.
Not long after that a Harvard man In
vented and put on the market just such
mask. Now every catcher wears one
when playing up under the bat. Some
time later Mr. Gray Invented and pat
ented the catcher's pad, which Is now
universally used. His latest invention,
the Improved mask. Is well protected as
to patents. Manager Barnle and Catch
er Smith, of the Hartford team, have
examined the mask and both are cer
tain that Its general adoption is sure.
It Is as much of an advantage over the
old mask as that was over no covering
at all for the face.
The mask Is attached to the pad
frame by pivot Joints. The pad frame
Is held firmly on the catcher's head by
the usual arrangements of straps.
When the catcher wants the mask to
cover his face, he lets It down and It Is
held In place by a spring. If a foul Is
popped up In the air, a touch of the
hand throws the mask instantly up and
back, leaving the catcher's vision free
from Interference. He loses no time In
running for the ball and avoids also
the risk of stumbling over a mask
thrown on the ground. The mechan
Ism is of the simplest kind, there being
nothing to get out of order. Its sim
plicity Is one of Its chief recommenda
tions.

PRICES OF BICYCLES.
A.G. Spaldlnf Has Something to Say
About a Standard Price Can
not Be Established.
A. G. Spalding when asked to express
an opinion on the controversy over the
standard price of bicycles, said, that as
he understood the question. It hinged on
the claim that all bicycles should be sold
ror 350, because It had been alleged that
all grades of bicycles cost a common
price of $30 apiece.
This contention, he said, will be ridi
culed . by all men of business,
owing to its obvious absurdity,
While some bicycles cost 330 to
make, there are many that cost much
more. Every article of merchandise a!
ways finds Its proper level, and in
the bicycle7 business, as In everything
elBe, high price generally means a high
grade first-class article, backed by a re-
sponsible concern and with a reputation
for quality. A medium grade bicycle of
medium quality sells at a medium price,
and a cheaply constructed bicycle at a
cheap price.
HATS AS EXAMPLE.
"We are told," continued Mr. Spald
ing, "that In cheap stores you can get
for 2 the same hats we pay )5 for on
Broadway, but somehow, one feels bet
ter satisfied and more at ease under a
hat made by the best hatter than one
made by a nondescript maker. With
out discussing the actual merits of
the hata, most of us are willing to pay 22
for a hat and throw In $3 for the satis
faction. This also applies to carriages,
pianos and other articles we need. Pi
anos can be bought for $50, but are they
as good as $500 or $100 pianos? Certain
ly not. It requires many years of ar
duous work to perfect the organization
of a manufacturing plant. It takes more
than a year to build up a finely equipped
plant Experiments with new machin
ery are costly.
"Admit, for the sake of the argument,
that all planoB cost $25 to make; the
buyer, who can afford it, Is willing to
pay the additional $475 for the satisfac
tion of feeling that he has the best. On
a cheap piano you will generally find
the name-plate covered up by an elab
orate spread, but on the standard makes
the name Is always prominent.
"The same line of reasoning may be
applied to bicycleB. Admit, for the sake
of argument, that all bicycles cost $30
to manufacture, and suppose all bicycles
were sold at $30 and then $10, $20, $50 or
$70 be added for satisfaction.
MEAN CHEAP METHODS.
'Cheap goods and cheap prices mean
eheap methods In every respect. If bl
cycles could be sold like sugar or horse
shoes, and no guarantee or further trou
ble from them expected after they leave
the warehouse and the demand was so
universal, then they might be sold on
the margin of profit of those articles,
but there Is probably no article of mer
nchundise that is so expensive to put
upon the market as the bicycle, for,
when In addition to the cost ot manufac
ture, one haa paid the store rent, clerk
hire, interest on the capital invested
certain cost of guarantee and adver
Using expense, the progressive and suc
cessful merchant will find that the ac
tual flat cost to manufacture the goods
in the first place does not represent the
entire cost.
'No manufacturer ever achieves
reputation on an article unless it has
Intrinsic merit, and all the talk In the
newspapers and all the advertising that
might be given It will not give It a long
standing reputation unless the article In
question has the merit to deserve It."
'CYCLERS AT NEW ORLEANS.
Meet of Wheelmen the Greatest Event
of the Kind Ever Held in the City.
New Orleans, June 14. The cycling
meet yesterday eclipsed anything of the
kind ever held In New Orleans: A great
crowd was In attendance at the track
and every arrangement was perfect to
make the affair a memorable one. The
first three events were professional races
for which there were twenty entries,
.embracing some of the fastest rldeH
now In the national circuit.
First race Half mile, open, two heats
and a final, Otto Zelgler, first; C. Coulter,
second; O. Stevens, third. Time, 1.45.
Second race One mile open, two heats
and a final, Arthur Gardiner, first; Will
lam Coburn, second; Otto Zelgler, third,
Time, 2.10 4-5.
Third race Two-mile, handicap, F. M
Mclarlan (50 yards), first; Henry Clarke
(00 yards), second; O. ijtevens (20 yards),
third. Time, 4.58 2-5.
Three amateur races followed, all of
which were run by the aid of electric
lights.
Bicycle Run Postponed.
Rain prevented yesterday's proposed
run of the Scranton Bicycle club to
Wllkes-Barre, where the riders wcra to
have been entertained by the Wilkes
Barre club. A number of the members
rode over the boulevard In the after
noon. The Wilkes-Barre run will be
made later.
WHIRLS OF THE WHEEL
The Green Ridge Wheelmen rode to
Elmhurst Thursday evening over the
old turnpike, returning via the new
boulevard,
.
Charles Coleman and Will Dunn will
wear the colors of the West Side Wheel
men on the track this season. The West
Side boys can congratulate themselves
at securing two such representatives as
Coleman and Dunn to protect their
colors at race meets.
;
The local racing men will work hard
(or tho Lackawanna county on mil
championship, to be ridden at the Green
Ridge Wheelmen'a meet next month.
Charles Coleman now has the honor.
and will have to ride against a very
formidable field in hi attempt to re
tain It. Among the other boys who will
make a strong bid for first place in that
particular event this season are Ralph
Gregory. Robert White, Ben Keller,
Will Dunn and Eddie Coons. All are
riding well and we predict that the
Lackawanna one mile championship
will be the best race of the day.
DRAMATIC GOSSIP.
The director of a London orchestra has
