MANAGER "SANDY"
COMES TO TOWN
On Him Scranloa Base Dill Cranks Pin
Their Fnllb.
HE IS CONFIDENT OP SUCCESS
illnkcs No Ilonsts, out Is Not Doubt,
fnl In Asserting That tlio Scranton
Tctim Compnrcs Favorably with tho
Lending Cluliifllns nn Intelligent
nnd Ilcnvy-IIitllng Lot or Players.
Two to Four Jllon for Knch Position.
"Sandy" Griffin, the base ball mana
ger on whom Is pinned tho faith of thou
sands of Scranton bnBo ball cranks, ar
rived here yesterday from his homo at
Fnyettevllle, N. Y. He is head over
heels in a mass of correspondence that
has been accumulating- at the St.
Charles hotel since Friday nnd which
with other earlyr-season duties will
keep him busy until the championship
games begin.
Manager Griffin's arrlvnl had been
ardently anticipated by the club own
ers and others who anxiously awaited
personal Interviews in corroboration
of tho much good news and little un
favorable gossip that had reached here
through Indirect channels. In those
particulars there aro no material
changes in tho facts already chron
icled in The Tribune.
In discussing tho club's prospects
Manager Griflln was not boastful nor
doubtful in his assertion that ho would
land a team at ledst well up toward
the top. Ills reasonB were that there
would not bo an untried player on the
club; the team was, on paper, ns
heavy If not tho heaviest batting tenm
in the league; there was an even bal
ance of old nnd young material, and
the men woro without exception pos
sessed of more than ordinary intelli
gence. When asked if he considered
the players sufficiently fast he replied:
FASTER TILVN PROVIDENCE.
"Providence finished first last sea
son with only two real base runners,
Murray and Lyons, and second tho
year before with practically the same
make-up. We are faster than Provi
dence and I cannot see where we are
weaker, collectively, In the field; wo
surely can hit ns often and as hard so
there you are.
"I cannot tell now exactly how the
team will be made up. Of course I
have mapped It out in my mind and
any ono who knows the players we
have would figure the make-up about
as I have done, but there's no telling
what might happen before the season
opens. However, there Is no position
witli less than from two to four men to
fill It. That doesn't Include pitchers.
"There are six pitcher candidates,
Glllon, Meaney, Harper, Yerkes, Well
ner and Morse, each a tried man nnd a
good one. We shall retain but four.
although the entire six will be carried
for a time."
Harper and Gunson, so Manager Grif
fin said, are the only players who
haven't signed. Both, are holding out
for over the limit, but the owners are
firm in their refusal to break faith'
with other clubs, and pay more than
the rules permit and "Sandy" is with
them In that purpose. Neither Harper
nnr Gunson can afford to Jump into a
non-agreement league, so it Is hard to
figure how they can play elsewhere
than here.
WILL BF. HERE MONDAY.
Bonner will be here on Monday and
so v ill Meaney. Each of them has
been mentioned as having failed to ac
cept terms'.
"In Beard, Boyd nnd Daly the club
has made a ton-strike," said Manager
Griflln. "Respectively each will bo a
tower of strength to the Infield, bat
tery and' outfield. My signing them
was a stroke of good fortune and I don't
think any club In the league will have
received greater strength in the secur
ing of any three men."
On Saturday and Monday tho p'ayers
will report and will practice twico daily
until Thursday, the 15th. From then
until the 29th when the season opens,
exhibition games have been scheduled
at home no follows: April 15 and 16,
Cuban Giants; April 17, Olyphant
Browns; April 22, Bloomsburg State
Normal school. On the 19th the club
will go to Philadelphia to play the Ath
letics and arrangements are pending
for games at Lancaster and Reading on
the return home, April 20 and 21. The
datefc, April 23, 24, 2G, 27, 28 are open
but may be partly filled by games at
Newark and Paterson.

A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands ol People Have DyspeplU In Its
Worat Form and Do Not Know It
A tveak stomach Is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease, yet In most
cascn tho wrong1 thing Is treated and
the true cause overlooked.
This Is because a weak digestion pro
duceH symptoms resembling nearly ev
ery disease because it weakens and
disturbs tho action of every nervo and
organ in tho body; poor digestion
causes "heart trouble, kidney troubles,
lung wcakn-Dsn and especially nervous
break down or nervous1 prostration,
tho nerves cannot stand the wear and
tear unlesn generously fed by well di
gested, wholesome food,
Keep the digestion good nnd no ono
nctd fear the approach of disease.
Mrs. II. M. Lee, of Rochester. N. Y.,
writes: For the sake of suffering hu
manity I want to say that from a child
I had a very weak stomach, threw up
my food very often after eating and
after a few ytars nervous dyspepsia
resulted nnd for more than twenty
years I have suffered Inexpressibly.
I tried many physicians and adver
tised remedies with only temporary re
lief for nervous dyspepsia and not un
til I commenced taking Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets last September, six
months ago, have I been frco from
suffering caused by the condition of my
nerves and stomach; in short chronlo
nervous dyspepsia.
