SIX LOADERS MAY LEAD AGAIN ThrU'n (i Probability Ilnscil on Pre sent Coinlitlons--IInl(lmore, Cin cinnati nml lloKton Well I'nvorrtt. Jlrooldyn to Ilnvoit Hnrtl Ycnrofll, lint n Crcnt llriicn Is Promised lor tlio Colonels--Itns Some I'inu Material on tlio Teiini. t any Judgment ran lie pnssed upon the condition of the twelve league cluhs at tills period ot their Hprhitf practice It would Hltnply he that the nix lenders of last yenr will again he the bIx lead leaders of the comlnii season anil that the six tall-eiidern will he the tail-end-els once more. There may he some lit tle changes In the order of each divis ion, lialtlmoro Is apt to he given a warm run hy Cincinnati and linston. Cleveland will hardly stand (list or sec ond unless the cranks of that city turn out and applaud the cluh as It deserves. There Is a limit even to the patience of ball-players and the Cleveland stars are not going to keep on doing grertt deeds forever without enough people at their games to give the park the ap pearance of being Inhabited. Chicago Is Just about good enough for fourth position. Hut, ot course, base hall Is full of Ifs. Most people could not see Cincinnati in the first di vision last year. Now no crank can fig ure the Herts out ot a IiIqIi position. Of course everybody admits the Haiti-' mores to a top-notch place but the spring before they won the Hag there was not one crank In seven who could figure them better than seventh. Ifs cut a gigantic figure in the glo llous game. The Haltlmores may lose the Hag if HAImiOHE. IF Hnffer goes wrong. Corbett and Xops prove frosts. Jennlnirs or Keeler is taken ill. Sit draw should not he recov ered from his Ions Illness. Hoblnson and Clarke are both hurt. Chli ago may win If Dcnsser proves a second Huslo. Calla han Is as good as Orlflith McCormiek learns to hit the ball, Proffer gets well. Uncle finds a hard-hitting catcher. liostfin may win If Duffay regains his batting eye. Stahl proves a good plaver. Lowe and Coi 11ns Ueei their health. Klobedanz's arm holds out. St. Louis may get the Hag If Kleven other clubs drop dead. Every body forfeits games. Koger Connor bats over .400. Turner finds the ball as he used to. Louisville has n chance If , Hill and Frazer become wondeis. Rogers can play second. Cllngman learns how to slug. A review of the present playing strength Indicates that Hrooklyn and .St. Louis will have a hard year of It. The Hrooklyn team ha no second base man and the pitchers arc only rned ' Tbcre. St. Louis Is a disorganized mob, but Turner and Hutchinson may do a lot to help out the poor Hrowns Tur ner by hitting as he did in l'and 189.", Hutchison by winning f As as he uiu ior .Minneapolis. LOUISVILLE 13 i'ANCIED. Louisville at present seem stronger than St. Louis, Hrooklyn or Washing ton nnd fully as fast as New York and Pittsburg. With such an array of bat ters as McCreery. Clarke, Pickering, Holmes, Dexter, Werden nnd Hogers, with the chance of an occasional hit by Dolan, Cllngman and Frazcr to help out. the Colonels will be right In it from a bnttlng standpoint; the pitchers are nil rlisht, and Dejr'cr, as nn all-round player and Inspiriting Jollier of a team, is worth all the New York and Hrook lyn catchers put together He will no nrpther Mike Kelly, with the advan tages of education and courtesy thrown In. aNCIEI ARE IN THE GAME. Scranton's Players Went Through the Limbering Proccss-.Balling Order for Tomorrow's Game. If any locul crank was In doubt yes terday r.r. t. the enthusiasm of the Scre-nton players or the basw ball public at large, lie might have got an idea or two by n visit to Athletic park In tho morning or afternoon. Minager "Saji dy" and thirtein of his star perform ers were on the erounds In the after noon and for over two hours disported themselves after a fashion that tickled tho fancy of three hundred of the faith ful. Hoyd Mubsey, Meaney, Yerke, O'llri en, I enrd, Hagun and Daly were the new arrivals. Hit and run, pitch and throw was tin. programme. A score of nirmteur? assisted In the trylng-out wcrk which was of the light variety. Nn heavy work was attempted as Grif fin Is directing the men to take things easily and roll Into the same instead ot .falling Into it. pa he does not choose to risk the possibility of lameness to a good arm or a. sprain when the season opens. After tho practice the circuit of the park wuh made at a brisk run and the in"k ended the day with a bath and rub-down In the dressing rooms. It is a fortunate thing that the men without exception have had two or more weeks of light tralnliy,' which has better fitted them for tho moro exact ing play of tho prnctlca season. If "form" counts for anything they are f-nltlled to receive the conlWenee nnd hope of Scranton's loyal thousands. Todiy tlimo will be a morning nnd an afternoon session of practice prenara toiy to tho exhibition games of Thurs day, Friday and Saturday. Tlio genuine Cuban Giants will piny hero tomorrow and Friday. Tomor row'B battlnir order of tho two teams will be as follows: 8CHANTON. Walters, cf. O'llrlon, ib. paly, rf. Heard, us. Kjgnii, (.

Yerkee, p. , - U will be seen that the Giants con- tain several of their old-tlmo favorites, Grant, Jordan, Hoblnson, Miller and Day. It Is not to bo expected that the aiants will he defeated, as drillln will not permit his men to let them selves out until the opening day of the season arrives. Tommy aillon was the laBt of the players to arrive. Ho reached hero last night, tired out from the long and tedious travel from his home in St. Louis. He looks well nnd Is sanguine, of Scranton's chances. Pat Menney nnd Yerkes, two others ot the pitch ing corps, reached here during the morning. Meaney Is satisfied to quit the Held nnd take his chances In the box. Yerkes has filled out quite a lit tle since lie was seen here in tlio old State league. He is built on the excla mation point plan, and ought to have speed to give away. YESTERDAY'S BALL GAMES. I'litlndcltiliiifSyrnciisf.

"Tommy" Johnson Is making a hit on the coaching lines at Philadelphia. Pitcher Fallon, of Mlnooka, Is to lie given a trial by Grlllln during the prac tice season. '"Hltr Hill" Massey has divorced his moustache. Ills visage looks like a roly boly but It indicates disaster to opposing pitchers. "The Mauch Chunk team was yester day completed by the signing of Howard Luckey, one of last season's WIlkes-Harro Eastern leaguo team's pitchers," says a Mauch Chunk llspatch. The claim made for Abncr Powell, tho new manager of the Wllkes-Harre club. Is, that though always a minor leaguo player, he Is the richest player In tho profession, having accumulated about $73,000. Harper Is coming to time. Ilo has ac cepted advance money and will bo here soon to talk things over. Gunson and Honncr are still wriggling, but they may bo expected to get Into their uniforms before loiur. Two WIlkes-Harro players, Howard Earlo and Pitelnr Colcolough, havo ap pealed to the national board, the latter for releaso from reservation, nnd tho former for relief from a. lino Inflicted by tho club. Ex. Heard wagged his head and chuckled: "Goodness me, we may not lilt every day, but if this gang does get to slugging, thero won't be enough balls to keep the gamo a'golng." Heard Isn't tho only one who fees that way. Bays a Syrncu.se paper: "I done somo thing this spring I never done before. Flopped drinking. No kid; It's a fact. I Hilt and you can t-cc by n glanco that my clothes are already too big for me." Fiom an authorized Interview with Dutch Herirer." A useful vest-poeket memorandum book containing the iN'atlonal league scheilulo and spaces for a summary of all games has been Issued by Emll Grossman & Co., Cleveland. It's price of 10 cents Is very reasonable considering tho aid the book will bo to thoso who wish to follow the National league race. Says tho Wheeling Intelligencer: "Catcher Mitchell, with England's team, Is wanted In Sprlnglleld, but has not yet signed, as tho management has not come to bis terms. Mitchell wants J150 n month-JlOO for his playing nnd $30 for his talking, presumably. He may yet sign for $100 with n provision In his con tract that ho will not bo required to use his Jaws. Ho repeated that song about 'the best catcher In the league' last summer, that he really believes It him self." Thoso players who kept a tab on Joe Corhett's checkered experience iib a pitcher last season recall that Joo was nn easy problem when ho was confronted by Eastern league lmtsmen. After two months with Scnuiton he was recalled by Ed Hanlon, and to tho surprlso ot even Hanlon, who Is not given to waxing emotional, Joo held major leaguo teams down to slnglo number hits that is below tho ten total on tho game, Hut tlier Is nothing astonishing about this perform ance of Corhett's In view of thd phenome nal support given tho Oriole twlrlers by that superb In nnd outfield. Which proves that a pitcher's abilities cannot be tested by his work as u member of the Orlolo twirling staff. AMATEUR UALL NOTES. A hotly contested gamo of baso ball was played yesterday on No. 6 grounds be tween the Dunmore Standards and a picked nine. Tho game was won by the former, tho scoro being 10-12. Hattery for tlio Standards wus Fountain and M iur teV tie, and for the other side Davis nnd Bte ens. TROUT FISHING ON THE P0C0N0 Valuable Information About Streams in the Lackawanna-Monroe Region, WATERS IN SPLENDID CONDITION Outlook Is (iooil on Cherry Creek, nt Canadensis, Itcslca, Hoiiscr Mills, .Swlftwnter, Parksldo and .1lc,1Ilcli-ncls--llltits on u Ten-dollar Oullil nml When to Uso Ply, .Minnow and Vorni--Tlie Proper Way to Hooka .Minnow. The trout season opens on Thursdny. A lot ot valuable Information concern ing streams In this region has been compiled by tho Stroudsburg Times and will be read with Interest by scores of Sernnton fishermen who have whipped many of tho waters mentioned. Tho Times! says: This region will soon bo well filled with flsh'rratn from all parts of this state who know that the finest streams In Eastern Pen s-ylvanlu are In ihls county, nnd that a city mnn cannot only gel a good mess of tho speckled benutlos but renewed henlth and strength for the summer campaign by a brief outing on the creeks. There are but few fish In the Pocono, McMiliaels or Hrodhcnd's creeks at this plr J, but Cherry Creek, Just far enough away to make n good walk, the stream Is In good shape, notwithstanding the efforts of miscreants who has already been ut work w th brail nets. Up at Canadensis tho prospects are excellent. The Price Hros., of Spruce Cabin, say: "The streams were never in flnr condition nnd there seems to be plenty ot fish. They were not flshetl out last season nnd the outlook for splendid catches are line. Nothing enn happen to spoil the streams so late in the month and we can say with truth that the fifteenth will find the trout streams of. Monroe In such shape that a record season will ensue." BIG EARLY CATCHES. From about Reslca, well-known land lord, Henry T. Frankenlleld, says: "In regard to trout llshlns It should be good this season, ns the streams last summer and fall were well up, and trout had a chance to work out of the smaller stieams. If the weather should stay warm the season will open with large catches and larger trout than last year." Isaac Stauffer, proprietor of Laurel Inn, nt Houser Mills, writes as follows: "Streams are In llrst-class condition for trout Hilling at present and rinless we havo some heavy rains between now and the 16th. fishing will be a No. 1. I think the trout fishing will be much better this year than last." E. D. Huffman, of the Marshall's Creek House, which has long been fa mous as a rendezvous for fishermen, makes the following statement: "Re plying to your Inquiry concerning fish ing la tills section, would say 1 think the trout fishing will bo excellent this spring. The sireuris arc In fine condi tion at present nnd-the winter has been favorable No heavy Ice as there Is some winters and plenty of water. I think there should be some one watch ing the streams now. I am- very strongly Impressed that tho law is be ing violated, these fine days. In tho thickly wooded parts." In the vicinity of Swlftwnter good re ports are heard. Dr. Richard Slee, In replying to the query of the Times, snys: "Streams never In better condi tion and fishing promises to be excel lent. Many of the i-trenms hereabouts are leased by the Swlftwnter Preserve company, and hence a permit has to bo received before one is allowed to fish." Genial "Wes" Henry, of Pnrkslde, waxes humorous in hi reply, which is favorable to fishermen. Ho says: "Yours of March 31. with me. Trout flailing Is like speculation, up and down. The streams are In good con dition for the opening and the prospects point that everything Is favorable, If we can catch 'em." Ex-commlssloner, Jerome Kresge, of TdcMlchnel's, says that tlio trout out lo.ik In Hint vicinity Is very good. The Pohoqunllnc association have all the best territory, but there Is still lots of good flshltlg to bo had. TEN-DOLLAR OUTFIT. Now that the outlook for tho season Is known something for nn outfit for fishing would not be nmlss. An outfit for fishing a trout stream should con sist of nn old suit of clothes, a pair of rubber boots orwadlng stockings (these are not absolutely necessary), a light rod that should not welsh more than eight ounces, a durable reel of the click variety, 100 feet of wuter-proof line, a number of six foot fly leaders, a dozen small hooks for bait fishing and the following files: Grizzly King, Poor Jinn's Fly, Abbey, Hed Fox. Dark Fox, Cahel, Urown Hen, VonPatten. Pro fessor, March, Coachman, Lowery, Black Gnat, Alder, Green Drake, Gray Drake, Breise Murray, Blue Dun, Bev erklll, and a landing net. The whole outfit can be bought for ten dollars, but It ono wishes ho can pay a couple of hundred dollars for It. In lly-fishing obseno these precepts: Keep out of sight of th- trout as much as possible und strike, tho instant he fish bites In fly-fishing; not so quickly in balt-fishlng. Itemember to use dark flies on a bright day and bright-colored files on a dark day. A true angler, notwith standing the nonsensical tnlk about al ways using a fly, will, not bo above using a worm, grasshopper. Insect or live minnow when the trout will not take the fly. The medium size angle worms are Iho test for bait, and they should be kept while fishing In n box with freo acces3 to the air, and just enough dirt to kep them half covered. The worm should be hooked so that the ends are free to wriggle In tho water. Tho bait should be so managed that It is Just under the surface of the water, and to mtiiao tbl.i a split shot or two are often neco3 sary where the current Is swift. In fishing with n grasshopper, renl fly, Riub, or other Insect, ono can cant ns in fly fishing. When flshln-j with a worm, let your lino run under the bonkr, along the rocks whero the cjr rent swirls, undo" troo stumps nnd Into tho deep rools. A llie.y minnow wi'.l tfmpt trout wren notMngelto will. IIOOKIND LIVE lUri To hook a minnow so that you do. not kill him, run your hook under tho dor sal fin Just below tho spinal column. In using a fly or Insect ns bait twitch it across the pools so that it appears on the day. On cloudy days trout will Mte at any time, provided the halt It wants Is offered. IMMENSE OAME PRESERVE. Prominent Sportsmen Will Establish One in tho Allcgtiunirs. Altoonh, April 1.1. Plans have been completed by prominent New York and Pennsylvania sportsmen for the estab lishment of.nn Immense frame prejervo In central Ponnsylvnnln, comprising 20, 000 acres of mountain lnnd in the heart of tho Alleghenlcs. Tho tmct lies In Center nnd Clear field counties and embraces the famous Nlttany mountains and tho valley ot the Hiune name, a spot famous for Its wild beauty. This Is already the best hunting ground In Pennsylvania, but It will be stocked with many kinds ot foreign and native birds, ns well as with deer and other huge game. Tho streams will bo stocked with' trout. Commodious lodges will be erected nt various points In tho tract. Governor Hastings Is one of the lead ero In tho project. Slnvln Challenges Corbnlt. Xow York, April 13. Frank Slavln has challenged Corbett to a finish fight before the club giving the largest purse. FOR WOMEN CYCLISTS. A novel ball will be given by tho Cam den wheelmen at tho Sixth Kcslmcnt armory on the night ot Kaster Monday. It will bo .exclusively u wheelmen's ball, for tho rensan thnt tho "grand march" Will be made on wheels and several ot tho "dances" on tlio programme are to bo participated In by mounted cyclers. In llavurla a woman Is not allowed to rldo a bicycle on a public thoroughfure unless she holds a c.-rtlllcato ot efll cleiicy. To scciiri' thin certlllcato sho must first ilde Ik fore the police olllclnls. who pass upon In r eNpiTtiii'ss and net accordingly. It is a good thing- for somo riders that such regulations do not exist In this cltv. Miss McK'nlev, tho niece of tho prcd dent, will soon Join the iiiuks of local lady cyclists. It will be the first time In the history of the white houso that a wheel has pver been In iiju ut the executive mansion. Xone of the presidents or malo members of their household ever used a bicycle, and nunc of the ladles of tho same place w. a evir known to be a rider. Mrs. Cleveland was presented with a bicycle, but she was never known to use It. Another prominent young lady In Washington who Is an enthusiast of tho bicycle Is Miss Mnbd Hnnna, the daugh ter of Senator llinna. M'ss llanna Is a good rider. WHh Miss McKlnley nnd Miss Hnnna ns exponents there l. every reason to believe that the lady cyclers ot the natlonnl capital will be duiibled dur ing the coming brnson. Now that tho snson of nctlvo riding will shortly open, the attention of all vo niwi ilders is called one moro to the ne cessity of looking over tho bicycle boforo going out for a spin ot any distance. Fewer r'ders would be forced to walk homo or use n train, owing to tho loss ot a nut or two, If they made n limctlco of trying each nut before starting out on the rldo. To do this. requires only a foW minutes, and that will bo time well spent, frequently saving ns many hours of trou ble and worry. Then again. It may be for tho protection of the rldor herself, A loose nut at some Important part of tho machine may mean a tumble, with moro or less serious results, while out on tho road. According to the old adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth n pound of cure," and this Is one instanco of Its ex emplification. Hoes the woman's cycling costume cost moro than that'of a man's? Of course. It is to be expected that there are a good many persons who tire nnxlous to Jump at both sides of the question, and bring out the pros nnd cons. However. It seems that, all things being equal, tho cost Is somewhat moro than that of the malo cycling costume. This takes everything Into consideration, and allows, for a wcll dresed male In cycling togs, and a fe male eually as well dressed In tho cos tume of her sex. A pair of cycling boots cost much moro for the woman than a pair of cycling shoes for tho men. Al lowing a plain sailor hat, with few arnu mentatlons, for the woman, the costs will about equal that of n good golf cap worn by the man. The sweater for the female rider costs more than tho sweater for tho male rider, frequently the cheapest femalo sweater costing nlmost as much ns tho dearest sweater for the man. Tho skirts of the woman, with the bloomers and other accessories, cost ns much. If not more, than n natty suit for a male, while the golf stockings nro left out on one side, which tends to equalizo tho dif ference In cost between the two styles of costumes. Tho cost of the femalo attlro call be reduced, considerably, however, by using a shirt waist Instend of a sweat er, while It Is a rather rtllflcult matter for a malo rider to dispense with tho woolen article. A woman can rldo all day. It seems, and never soil the shirt waist, while the man will have a wilted shirt inside of a flve-mllo ride on a warm day. Crcrii liidgc Wheelmen's officers.

EVIL OP NARROW TIRES. Ilnslncss .Men Could Help Good Itonds' Cntlso by Abolishing It. One of tho worst enemies to good roads In America, says Cycling, Is tho narrow tiro which is almost universal ly placed on wagons used for business purposes. Tho ravages caused on really good, thoroughfares are nowhere more apparent than In our large cities, where heavily loaded wagons nro to be seen by tho thousands dally play ing havoc with the street over which their travel Is directed. Tho average business man or firm employing this kind of vehicular traf fic could rto much to help the good roads movement and to keep the city pnvements In good condition by a llt tlo sensible work In substituting a wid er tiro on all such vehicles In place of the narrow ones now In use.
