RAIN IN SCRANTON.

Two Mnnnsori.
rstifore Umpire Curry said "no game"
Saturday, there was a wrangle be
tween Ma na Re rs Oi-IIIln und Bums.
, There was less than a hundred persons
In the park, and had the game been
started and not called before the end of
tru fifth Inning the Scranton manage
liwnt would have been nearly the whole
of the $100 guarantee out of pocket.
, When the two managers began their
ttiRiiment at ".4"i o'clock, thp hour for

VERY GRAVE CHAKGC
Did "rii;uy" Ward Say Auytliiug
About Throw ini; tinnies.
Frank Boyd says that IMttuy Ward, of
Toronto, told (iallney that the Canadians
would throw every Kiinie to Buffalo if
there was any prospect that the Bisons
Would he beaten out by Rochester. It Is
tumoiihlcdly true tin. t Ward aid this. Il
may be (luestioued whether he was tellitiK
tliniKH Just as thev are but many are in
clined to think it so. if it Is, th matter
should be lnn stiKiUe 1. fully and in detail.
This nort of thins; will kill the name
quicker 1 hun almost nuythinit else and
base -ball has stood pre-cinin. nt auuiim
professional sports lucaiisc of the yeper.-.l
lu lief that It Is played for all it Is worth
and that there is 110 such IhliiK as Ihrow
i!l Kaines. iYhen the )illlilic comes to be
lieve that there is much rottenness In Ueit

the satno will tto Into a d'cliue. lto.-hester

Ho ilaflney has not had enonith fun 111
his pa.xt despicahle sclienies in robbiuK
I in IV, do of caiues anil at the same time it
proves piHcisely what has be.-n stated in
lie-He column a score of times and that
is that Boyd Is GaUney's keeper. Winn
the wrtlcr was with the Kutlalo team in
lioi'hes-er tile ti 1 si of the season Frank
Hoyd each lilnht would corral liaflney,
).'(i Into the barroom of 1'onnress Hall and
the umpire would till up on ItuiKlcfoo! ;
they would adjourn at Intervals to the bil
liard room alio Boyd would allow Uaffney
to heat him. Jollyinir him all the time. Is
It any wonder that .lack ltowc should ob
ject to such u man? Does any sane per
son lor a moment believe that "BifJuy"
Ward ever made such a statement, and
even if he (lid, since when did he take
Bin kenheiKer's place as manaia r of the
Canucks? Ward says Gal1nc is a. man
who copies closely the nielhods of all an
cient personal?', named Ananias, ami ho
mav some dav meet ihe same fate as tho
Biblical character. Does the playini,- of
yesterday look like throwinw uanies'.'
Well, hardly. Some or these reporters 111
Uochester make a person tired, anyway,
with their miserable croakliiK. Boyd Is a
beaut. Nit! Buffalo Knquirer.
The Tribune will hazard a Ktiess that
Ward was Idly sayitiB thinss he didn't
mean and that others as well as (luff
ney btimclu on the publicity of tho
thiiiR by Indiscreet posslp. There is
nothing to warrant t lie belief that To
ronto would throw even one fciiniP to
the Bisons. When there develops even
a suspicion of sin h u thittfr. 'profes

sport may put upon it the heel of dis
approval. THE STEINERT CUP.
Tlie Newly Arranged Series Will lie
uin Next Week.
President Powers and Mr. Steinert of
Providence, will meet in u few days to
nrraiiKf for the Steiner eup series.
Providence will be one of the rontest
hijc dubs. Buffalo is almost certain
to lie the oilier.
The s.'rles- Is seven Ramos. The first
three are. to be in Providence, the next
thtee in Buffalo, the seventh, if sev

players on the two teams net the to

DIAMOND DUST.
Lovett anil Berber will be in the points
for Scranton this afternoon, and MeDon
uld and Leahy will be the HpriutMleld bat
tery. HlB Dan Brouthers didn't show himself
IU the 41111k Saturday. He wus said to be
siill'eriiuj from some trivial hurt received
at Wiikes-Barre.
The expected has happened. Several of
the Buffalo team have already been
drafted by the major organization. Two
of the team have been ylven notice that
they will not play here next year and the
duo of cracks are two of the best players
who ever wore a Buffalo uniform. The?
are said to be "Little" Hltchie, shortstop,
and "Billy" Clymer, ccnterliHdcr. ititclile.
It Is said, will wear tl New York uniform
next year, while Clymer is slated to play
Willi his own home team, the Phllad.-i-1
hia club. Clymer lives In the Quaker
City.
When the Toronto players saw they
must lose Tuesday's );ame. says Ihe Syra
cuse Courier, Buokeaihrraer's lambs
were equal to the emergency. 'I'Jiey could
not win, but they could make the pame
us unpleasant as possible for Hie spec
tators, and they did so. Lan:.ruai;e of the
hind heard at Star Park yesterday Is sel
dom attempted by ball players In mil
form, but Toronto seems callable of nny
ihltiR in tlie line of rowdyism. "Vou're a
." remarked Trilby
to Baiinon In a voice that could be heaul
lu all pans of tlie Ki'and stand. "Smash
tlie ." ndvised Ward.
The advice was not taken, as at that mo
ment some one in Ihe stand called for
the police to put a stop to the exhibition of
loaferlsluiess. Women decided it time to
)ro home, and men who have some self
respect left the grounds. The patrolmen
In attendance sceni.-d about to rise from
their scuts and end the discussion that was
sill Koina- on in the II. M, but thoucht b.-t-ii-r
of It and remained where they were.
Trilby and Ward continued to curse until
they were tired of the fun, and then went
to the bench and swore at each other. Oh,
It's a precious lot of cut throats Pittsburg
has sent to the Knscrn leaKue. 'J hey do
elevate the Ktime so, you know, and Rive
it such u nood name. A few more like
them, and they would elevate It out of

HIGHER GEAR NEXT YEAR.
One of the Proposed Changes in ('
clciloin--M ooden Handle' a:-.
A conservative tradesman says: "It
seems likely that there will be a decided
ehuiiKe. and it is hoped for the bet
ter, in the improvement of the small
parts of the bicycle. liiKli gears will
probably be popular next season, and
I think that the standard sprockets
will have twenty-one teeth to the
front and eluht to the rear, glvlnt; a
gear of seventy-three and one-half
inches. Tills standard has. been
reached after careful Investigation)
into what (lie average wheelman likes
best. There has been a larpe demand
this season for larg:e pears, und the
standard Rear of sixty-eight inches
seems to Hud small favor now. In
KiiKlund riders nre uidns the hi-rh
gears, so it seems only fair to let rid- rs
have an opportunity to experiment
with them in this country. A change
that seems likely to be popular next
season will be a more Kenetal Intro
duction of wood handle bars. Some
few machines are lifted with them this
season, and they are said to give great
satisfaction. Wood rims were first In
trcduced only a few years ago, and
in addition to reducing the weight of
the wheel, have proved their superi
ority. The makers do not ns yet seem
to know what lo do about the wood
handles. Some riders who have used
them this year suy that they will! use
no others, but It Is a matter of specu
lation whether the average rider will,
after carefully testing, prefer wood for
his handle bar. It is evident that they
will be in large demand. The suddb'3
of 'il" will show great Improvement.
Durins the season expert riders have
tried every known saddle, and wlill-
some nre commented on favorably. It
seems to be the general oplon that th?
perfect saddle Is yet to be mad"."
Hill illmbinK is something of a mys
tery according to the following: "The
secret of hill climbing Is the continued
steady application of power. If the
rider jumps to his work on n long hill
using great force for a time, he tires
himself and does not secure ns good
results ns when, catching the pedal at
the top of the stroke, and using the
ankle motion, he follows it for almost
the complete revolution. ISy this
method he secures not only the power
of the thigh muscles in the push but
that of tlie calf muscles ns well. Wo
men are most given to rushinjr hills,
and then they wonder why they are
not more successful climbers. "
' Chairman nideon has forbidden ref
erees to allow riders to compete in Un
til heats for setting pace, when they do
not qualify for a place. Of late local
referees have been violating this rule,
which Is No. :'. of the facing laws.
Steel tubing frames for bicycles have
achieved a notable victory, it Is said,
over aluminum frames in a recent ron
test nt Pittsburg. The contest was on
points of strength in the two classes of
frames. A committee of three was
chosen to conduct the lest, of which
John II. Parr of Cornell Pnlvers'ty
was the chairman. The test took place
at Pittsburg about a mouth ago. and
the results have since been worked out.
out of the thirteen point twelve were
given the steel framed wheel. It is not
definitely decided to what charituble
institution the winner will direct that
the $.".U0 stakes will be given.

IT WAS A FUN-MAKER.
A Jiov Wanted Makes a Hit at the
Aciidciny of Music.
It is not likely that the Academy of
Minie will contain many larger audi
eiu i this season than Saturday night.
The main auditorium, bnlcony and gal
lery werii taxed to their fullest capaci
ty and scores of persons were standing.
It wus quite proper that such a spark
ling, lively, satisfactory farce comedy
us "A Boy Wanted" should be present
ed before so large an audience. It wus
brimful of tiuw specialties und con
tained ery, much of Harry Kinney,
"the boy," who, If his work Saturday
Pljjht !s any criterion, seems bound to
l.o seen later In greater suci esses.
"A P.oy Wanted" does not claim to
be unvthinc but a vent for variety. In
the hands of any less competent com
pany the piece might have fared badly,
but the Bluney company was too pro
ficient for that. One number that
bi ought forth and deserved treat ap
plause wus the acrobatic dancing of
Nellie O'Neill und Lithe Slit h.'l land.
THE CHECK WAS LOST.
.linker, However, litis to Mnke a
Duplicnte, Say the Alderman.
In Aldermun Wright's olllce Satur
day a somewhat unusual case wus de
cided. Tlie decision, in a word, was
that n man is compelled to make out a
duplicate check when the original is
lost.
The prosecutors were Snyder & Kd-wnidi-.
proprietors of an Olyphaut ho
tel. The defendant was K. A. Clarke,
whose check for $14.25 made payafcle to
P.J.Leonard, was presented by Leonard
in payment for his board. On the way to
the bank the bearer lost the check and
when after a number of days It did not
turn up, the hotel proprietors requested
t'lnrke to make out n duplicate check.
This lie declined to do, and hence the
suit.
The alderman gave judgment In
favor of ihe plaintiff for the amount of
the check. (!. It. Pitcher represented
tho defense und Taylor & Lewis the
iro3'.".-ution.
TO LOOK FOR THE HEIRS.
Hundley Fxccutors Mill tin' to Ire

Tn the course of a few days the exe

of hunting up the Irish claimants and
investigating tlie claims they make for

Just what prompts them to
take this step is not publicly known,
but that they intend to take it is a
certainty.
All three executors, Hon. Lemuel
