That lob ball of Betts' Is the easiest
thing In the world to lilt It) the uir.
The only college trait about Uoeekel Is
his long hair. He plays very niin-h like a
veteran.
Of iho eleven games played between
them, Si-ranion lias won seven and Wilkcs
Harrc four.
It looks us though Meaney had at least
one good eye. A saerillce, a triple und a
single out of four times up isn't so bad.
Coakley has been lined $20 and suspend
ed. Homier charges him with indifferent
pitching and insubordination while In
Providenoe.
The boil on riillon's leg was sufficiently
troublesome yesterday to prevent his
running after reiichiug first on a simile.
Massey ran for him.
"Wilkes-BuiTo one," said the olil:e
hoy. "Scranton won, you idiot." yelled
the editor. "No, Si-ranion three," groaned
the kid and he hasn't fell like sitting
down since.
Little Keister has returned lo Balti
more. He is on in-live player but lacked
the seasoning and steadiness which would
make him valuable. Scrtinton will not
need him next season,
".loo" (iiinson, Scranton's new catcher,
is in tin- business for fun. He owns
Philadelphia real estate -which furnishes
him a handsome Income, siilliclenl to sup

the base bull business.
Manager Haiilon says that while It was
true that Donnelly had not done himself
Justice in the Cleveland series, he allrib
uleil il very largely to the fact, that the
crowd had been railing time and again lor
MrCraw, and that that disconcerted Don
nelly, and inaile him nervous.
"So far as looking al ter the smallest dc.
tails of his position is concerned," suys
"Nick" Young, "Kinslie Is I lie best man on
the staff. He comes hern before the sea
son opens, gives me a list of the twelve
hotels at which lie w ill stop during the sea
son, receives his insl ructions and is off,
und from Unit lime until the close of the
season il is not necessary for me to see
him again."
empire Curry has had nine years experi
ence. He was in Hie N'alloiiHl league and
American association prior to his year
ill the Kasteru league in isal, nfter which
he abandoned the business and has slnco
been employed In the Philadelphia Bureau
of gas. He Is umpiring now as a pact
means of tilling In a month's vacation.
He will return to work In I lie Philadel
phia bureau on Septemlier IIS. Be was at
one time manager of the Oswego base ball
club.
Mcfiraw threw the ball Into the grand
stand nt Baltimore, and it was thrown
out again by a spectator. Boyle got It.
threw it to BofTer III the box, who threw
to Robinson, catching Lyons at the plut".
Tile champions cluiincd that It was a plain
blocked bull, und was again in play when
it was returned to the pitcher. Umpire
Lally thought its going in the grand spird
and being handled by a spectator made It
equivalent to a ball that had been driven
out of the grounds, and allowed Benny to
tally.
President Powers got (angled with his
printer, Iho schedule and Labor Bay. The
ofllclal schedule can be interpreted to mean
two games betweru Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton either tomorrow or oil Monday.
Monday, being Labor Bay, Is supposed to
be the date for the two games, one here
and one in Wlluos-Harre. Telegrams were
sent from hero and Wllkes-Burro last
night In an ciuhavor to straighten the
mailer. Jt Is almost certain that the mis
understanding will result in one game to
morrow afb rnooit in lids city and two
gaimes Monday. Whether tlie Monday
game hire will be played in the morning
or afternoon will depend on the Labor Bay

CHIEF OF UMPIRES
IS BADLY NEEDED
i .
National Leaf ue Should Have aa Official
Head to Its Staff.
WOULD COMMAND A Bid SALARY
Present Season or Rowdyism on the
Field lias Suggested the Scheme
Chief I'mpire Would Fine l.i t'm
pires if They Did Not Fine the
rinrer"IIarry Wright Was a
' Figurelleadand Had No Authority.
It is imperative that the National
League appoint an official whose Bole
duty it shall be to handle the staff of
umpires. To be brutally frank, the task
is too big for a man of President
Young's advanced years, says the New
York World. Mr. Young is tied up in
Washington and cannot give the um
pirucal problem the personul supervis
ion necessary to a successful solution.
Let this new otlk-lal nave full charge,
subordinate to none, with power of ap
pointment and dismissal. The great
danger which Is threatening the foun
dations of piofeslsonal base ball makes
it an absolute necessity thut this mat
ter shall receive grave consideration at
the Chicago meeting. Another season
of rowdy bull playing like the present
will Injure the wonderful popularity of
the national game td a well-nigh ir
reparable extent. As Bill Joyce would
suy, this is no steamboat talk.
MUST KXFOHCE BULKS.
This chief of umpires must, first of all,
devote himself to the eiifutcemtit of the
rules. He must travel from city to city
and observe the work of his -subordinates.
The present rules are strong
enough to protect the spectators if the
umpires would live up to them. And
they must liei compelled to observe
them in all their stringency, else there
will bo a large sized wreckage. The
handwriting Is on the wall.
It Is abusurd to continue handling the
umpire problem by mull. President
Young is either too old or has obliga
tions In Washington which present
traveling. Take the recent disgraceful
Cincinnati riots as an example. When
it was charged that a Cincinnati prize
lighter, acting as substitute, umpire,
was stealing games form visiting1 teams
In keep the Beds in the leud. it was
President Young's duty to go to Cin
cinnati at once and observe the work
of this "liud" Lally. Insteud, Mr.
Young calmly holds down his govern
ment position and takes the word of
President Brush and the Cincinnati
newspapers that Prize Fighter Lally is
uinpirliifif honest ball; In fact is the
greatest umpire that over came down
tlie pike. This manner of doing busi
ness would be laughable were it not
tragic.
KNCiAOIN'O COOP UMPIRES.
Then the chief of umpires should re
cruit bis ranks from personal observa
tion. At present any incompetent man
may secure an appointment upon the
National League staff by simply pre
senting a letter of recomiiifiidation
from any of Mr. Young's friends or one
of tlie magnates of the national board
clique. The proper way Is for the
chief of umpires to travel to n minor
league town and see for himself how
the applicant umpires. Or, whenever a
good man is beard of in the minor
leagues, the chief should go there, In
cognito, and "size up" the man's abil
ity. Always have a bow to your string.
Fining umpires should e the chief's
privilege. If an otllcial permits rowdy
ball players to overstep the bounds his
money should be taken away. After
a lenient umpire loses several slices of
bis not over-rat salary he is likely to
be a martinet upon the ball Held. Self
preservation is the first law of nature,
in this new state of a If a Irs Tim Hurst
can be heard saying:
"Now, Patsy, that'll cost you $10, and
If you don't dose your face you take
tlie bench. I've got tho tip that the
chief's nroiind, and I'm not going to
part Willi any of my coin for the sake
of a bum ball player who is making a.
bluff to earn his salary. Ht-e?"
This forced discipline Is the only rem
edy b check the overpowering evil.
The Venerable head of the National
league bus shown itself unable to cope
with it. it has been pretty hard in
past years, but for iiieniciemy Mr.
Young lias u banner season In IMMj.
Let the magnates appoint a young, vig
orous tun ii. who can devote his entire
time to bis dill Irs.
WORTH A Bit! SALARY.
A competent chief of umpires who
would coreret the existing stule of af
fairs Is worth a princely salary. There
should be no dltliculty In securing an
able man for a modest salary, say
ihsj and expenses It is surely worth
that to uphold the prosperity of base
bull.
The National league has hud a chief
of umpires-poor Harry Wright. But
there was no authority with the posi
tionIn fact, the veteran Was simply a
pensioner. Let the new chief have all
the power. Mr. Young has too much
upon his mind as It is.

When Captain Anson announced the
other day that he should take the place
of Klttrldge behind the but until such
time as the regular catcher was ready
to report for duty, some of the base ball
fans thought the "old man" was surely
Joking, says a Chicago exchange. It
now appears, however, that Anson was
thoroughly In earnest, and the base ball
world has been wondering at tlie re
sults. Probably there Is not in the whole
world toduy a player of the age of An
son who can make such a creditable
showing as a utilitv nlnvn.- U'hm na

getting Into the most difficult position
on the base bull diamond and succeed
ing In playing the position wlih all the
skill and speed of an uthlele trained to
lhat particular line of work, the result
Is simply remarkable. F.ven as good u
player as Lunge, who bad once played
the position, failed to satisfy Anson,
who bus displayed all the agility of
youth.
Players on opposing teams who
thought that Anson behind the bat
would be a gain of one of two bases to
the runners were fooled when they at
tempted to steal from one base to an
other. The "old man" was quick of eye
and strong? of arm, as many base run
ners found to their discomfiture. The
work of Anson during the trio in the
east has outshown nil the other play
ers, and has caused muny of the old
time players to rejoice nt bis rejuvena
tion. Alt hall Anson, and may his eye never
grow dim nor ills arm lose its strength
or cunning, for he Is today the youngest
