Tho Scr.inton l:isc hall cluh leaves
Mils morning for Philadelphia, where
Ihln nftprtinnn'fl name with tho Ath
letics ot the Atlantic Iouruo will bo the
first ot llvo Rnines away from homo
this week. Tho boys will leavo on tho
8 o'clock Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
"Western train. Tomorrow and Wed
nesday they play nt Heading nr.d on
Thursday nnd Friday at Lancaster.
Saturday afternoon they will be homo
to jilay tho Wyoming seminary' I'luli.
Alt tho players will inako tho trip
except aillon nnd Fallon. The former
ha about ten pounds of usolers weight
with which he must part company be
fore the reason opens and ho can do It
nt homo with less fatigue than he could
while traveling. Manager "Sandy"
has prescribed for Glllou a regime of
diet, practice at tho park, baths and
exercise that will bring the clover lit
tle pitcher Into condition. Ho Is cer
tainly too fat now. Hoyd, who, It was
feared would be Incapacitated by tho
injury to his eye In Saturday's game,
will leave with tho team nnd may bo
able to play this afternoon. He was
sporting a pair of goggles yesterday.
A bad case of stago fright or lack ot
condition must have affected tho work
of tho Olyphant Browns in their game
with the Snanlon club on Saturday.
The Browns wer last year invincible
to all amateur clubs In this part of the
state but the team with practically its
old make-up could neither Held nor hit
and got but o-e run while their pro
fessional opponents were making twenty-seven.
The weather was raw and
cheerless, so unpleasant that only two
hundred persons had tho spunk to see
the game and risk pneumonia and kin
dred complaints.
Tho best exhibition of playing among
the Browns was by Meehan who looked
to be a promising centerflelder. He
successfully judged several high and
dllllcult Hies nnd covered quite an area
of ground. McDermott and Garbett,
the deaf and dumb battery did not seem
to merit the great amount of praise that
has been bestowed upon them, but It
would bo unfair to criticise them from
their experience so early In the season
and against professionals.
Meaney, Glllon and Fallon succeeded
one another in the box. but they could
get but little more than exercise oft
tho nmateurs.
The score:

Manager Grlflln, Meaney, O'ilrlcn, Oil
Ion, O'Neill, Kaftan, Mngulre, Daly, Heard
nnd Massoy attended service at 81. Peter's
cathedral yesterday. Beard nnd Massoy
were the only Protestants In tho party.
Frank Bonner woa In uniform at tho
pnrk Saturday and goe with tho team
this morning on Its exhibition trip down
tho state. Mnybo theso facts will satisfy
tho Wllkes-Barro papers that Bonner Is
really going to piny here,

ously left tho Scrnnton club last season
when McDermott was In charge, finishing
tho ecascti nt Hornellsvllle, lias signed
with Denlson In tho Texas lencue, al
though ho Is on tho Scranton reserve list.
Kx
A. T. Huynsford, of Tho Tribune, gives
his word that Scranton lost money at
ha,p ball last yeur, but claims that It was
not so much as outsiders set down. The
actual loss, Bnynsford Intimates, w.s
about W.fiOO a tidy sum. Syracuso Cour
ier. And tho Union can produco
figures to show that Springfield lost
$',000 last year "a tliller sum." Still they
carp about Springfield's parsimonious pol
icy. Springfield t'nlon.
Baltimore, April 17 Manager Hanlon
today released McXIahon. This goes Into
effect when McMnhon has paid his train
ing expenses In the south. McMnhon says
he Is in lino condition, Ho will consider
offers trom other league clubs, nnd ex
pects thnt Philadelphia, will want his ser
vices. Mac would rather play In the east,
and prefers tho Phlladclphlans to any
other club.
Tho Now York Trlbuno doesn't think
very much of tho Syracuso team, Judg
ing from tho following report of Satur
day's game: "Another handful of spec
tators witnessed a poorly played gnmo ot
base ball at tho Polo grounds yesterday
between the New York professionals and
tho Syracuso team. Tho local men won
ns they pleased, tho players from up tho
stnto working like amateurs nffected with
stago fright. Tin onlookers wero glad
when It was over."
Catcher Boyd got a clip on tho eye from
a thrown ball that closed tho optic nnd
may keep him out of tho gamo for a few
days. Ho nnd Mnguire wero tagging a
runner on tho lino. TiTaguire threw tho
ball which glanced from the runner's
back nnd sent Boyd to the dressing room.
Saturday night, while Boyd was blowing
his noso tho eyo suddenly snapped shut
and both lids puffed to such an extent that
a specialist's advice seemed necessary.
Dr. Conrors was sought and explained
thnt tho bruised tissues had become filled
with ni'. Ho prescribed a lotion and
treatment and yesterday tho injured eye
was Improved.

Thomas A. Byron, who played shortstop
last season for tho South Sldo club and
previously on tho Sunset team, has mado
an arrangement to begin a courso of study
at tho Bloomsburg State Normal school
ond play for its baso ball club. Ho Is said
to bn ono of tho city's best amateur ln-
fielders.
Philadelphia, prll IS. The handsome
new quarters of the executive commit
tee In chnrgo of next August's meet of
the League of American Wheelmen
were a scene of activity whon tho ad
journed meeting of the Amcteur Cy
cling clubs was held to transact Im
portant business In connection with tho
meet. It had been the Intention ot the
executive committee to make public tho
Ii' unci of tho various important
contiltteefl, but as but one of them
was complete In Its ninkc-up It was de
cided to delay tho announcement until
the full list could be published. Tho
one committee named wis ono of the
most Important that having charge of
the races, which are to be held nt Wil
low Grove on August 0 nnd 7. This Is
mado up as follows: C. A. Dlmon,
chairman, South End Wheelmen; John
IlelMiley, Pennsylvania. Bicycle flub;
Walter Gilbert, Tioga Cycling club; F.
X. Qulnn, South End Wheelmen, and
J. J. Gessleman, Wlssahlckon Wheel
men. This is a strong selection, Includ
ing ns It does all but one of those who
worked so hard to make last year's
meet of the Amateur Cycling clubs
such an unqualified success, nnd Indi
cates a similar result for the Willow
Grove races.
TOUBS AND BUN3.
A special effort will be made to secure
a particularly strong committee on
tours and runs, ni the executive com
mittee realizes thnt a large percentage
of those who will visit this city next
August will do so simply from a desire
to explore the surrounding riding dis
trict for which the- Quaker city Is fa
mous. In this connection It was an
nounced thnt ono of the tours to bo ar
ranged will probably be one to Atlantic
City on the Sunday following tho meet.
This famous new routi to the tea Is
becoming dally more popular with tho
local wheelmen, and there seems to be
a general desire to Introduce the out-of-towners
to this stralght-away, as-tho-crow-llles
route from Philadelphia to
the ocean.
Another feature derided upon was tho
formation of a Ladles' Reception com
mittee. This will be composed of nu
merous representative matrons and
maids who will do all in their power to
render the stay of the visiting ladles
a pleasant one. It Is the Intention of
tho executive committee to make the
entertainment of the visiting wheelwo
nien more of a feature than has been
the case at former national meets, and
with that end In view numerous special
runs, receptions, etc., vlll be arranged.

Dcfonted Stephen Judco in Snturdny
Night's Eight-Hound Bout.
A largo crowd filled Weber's rink at
Taylor Saturday night and saw
Michael Knne. of Bendham, defeat
Stephen Judge, of Mlnooka, In an
eight-round bout at catch-weights..
Kane had an advantage of nearly ten
pounds over tho Mlnooka boy, who
weighed In at 133 pounds. The event
was full of foul punching.
The crowd became so noisy in Its
yells and demonstrations during the
fourth round thnt Burgess Watklns
mado his wny Into the. ring and
threatened to stop the mill unless bet
ter order prevailed. This served to
modify but a little the cat calls and
applnuse, and the last two rounds were
fought amid as much noise ns had
featured tho beginning. Kano was
the favorite.
While Judge showed himself n fair
ly clever boxer, he was not as strong
ns Kane, nnd suffered from the laN
ter's rushes, Judge clinching frequent
ly In each round. Paddy Burke and
Michael Duddy were behind Kane,
while Judge was handled by his bro
ther, James Judge, and John Tlghe.
The referee was "Billy" O'Brien, the
Buffalo welterweight, who may go
against "Ben" Wilson, the Danville
colored boxer, at Music hall next week.
Leopold Nelger, of Taylor, was time
keeper and "Jack" Nealls, of Scranton,
referee.
There wero two preliminaries. James
Jackson and John Tlgho met at 115
pounds. At tho end of tho fourth
round tho referee ordered an extra
two-mlnuto mlx-up, but was unable to
give a decision. Louis AVelble, of
Taylor, and John Applenap, of Bend
ham, 145-pound men, fought eight
rounds, the-former getting tho decision.

New York, April 18. President Pul
Ham of the Louisville club offered
JC.OOO cash to President Brush of the
Cincinnati club last night for tho re
lease of Shortstop Tommy Corcoran.
Corcoran was traded to Cincinnati by
Brooklyn last winter, but tho player
refuses to sign with Mr. Brush's cluh

Chicago, April 18. Dan Stuart, tho
famous promoter of fights, was In Chi
cago tho other day. In talking of the
big fight ho said:
"I don't think a fight equal to it will
ever take place again, even If tho same
men should meet. Corbett disposed of
the nrgument that ho would not Btand
punishment. Some have claimed this
point Is still undecided, but In my opin
ion Jim took plenty of the gaff to
square any ordinary critic on his game
ness. I 'have not seen Jim since tho
fight so as to bo able to talk tho fight
over with him as I wish. I want to ask
him Just one question, nnd that Is;
'How bad were you hurt In tho third
round?' Just before tho call of time
Fltz made one of those passes with his
right as if he was going to cut a big
elm. Corbett stepped back a trifle, and
Fltz ripped In a straight left on the
wind. No more blows wero struck In
this round, hut when Corbett retired
to his corner I noticed that ho was
worried and rubbed the spot until he
discovered Fits watching htm. He re
ceived punishment enough to make a
man with a yellow streak quit ten
times. I always figured It even money,
take your pick, and would not revise
tho odds It another match was made.
"The financial results were not Hat
terlng.but If tho Southern Pacltio would
make acceptable rates I would not lies
ttato to give another tournament at
I Carson, especially In the fall."
Ilinghnniton Genius Has n Ilnir liais
ing IS'inc-.Milo Hide.
There lives a man at Binghumton, N.
Y., by the name of J. Warren Sayles,
says an exchange, who conceived the
idea, as have doubtless many thousand
other cyclists, of using a sUll to aid
the propulsion of tho cycle when the
wind was blowing his way. At the
outset he mode a mistake, as he should
have undoubtedly turned his attention
to tho easy propulsion of a wheel in
tho face of a wind, and not with It.
Anyway Mr. Sayles rigged up nn in
genious device that fitted on his handle
bar, and which could be lowered and
raised at will, with no provisions for
reeling.
Recently he tried the working of his
Invention, making tho trial after mid
night, when there was no ono around.
The road was frozen hard, and he chose
a highway leading into an ndjolnlng
town, nine miles from his home. He
used a brakeless wheel, and mounting
his machine started out. As soon as he
raised the sails the wind filled them
and tho wheel went oft a. humming.
Ho tried to lower It, but ho couldn't.
His chain slipped off, and he couldn't
stop. He couldn't take his hands off
the bars, and had to hold on like grim
death. Onward and onward sped the
bicycle, and the thoughts of the rider
were of the most frightful nature. He
expected to be dashed to pieces on the
ground, which appeared to be flying
from him. He did not fall, however.
The machine covered the nine mlle3
in lightning time, and went through the
adjoining lllage, and would have un
doubtedly traveled through' the whole
state of New York had not tho rider
come across a rough road, which caus
ed tho speed to slacken slightly, but
Increased the jostling over 100 per cent.
He finally steered close to the baso of a
precipice where the wind could not
reach and got tho sail down. He was
stiff and tired. The axles of the wheel
wore almost red hot. and every spoke
was loose. The rider walked home,
reaching there about daylight, and his
invention has been given an everlast
ing bunk In tho garret of his home.
A Stroudshurg correspondent says: "Tho
season promises to be excellent, nnd thcro
nro few trout fishermen who arc not ac
quainted with McMlchncl's, Broadhcnd's
or Cherry creeks, Reports from old-time
fishermen who have fished theso streams
for years aro favorable. Tho streams aro
In fino condition nt present, as last sum
mer and fnlt they wero well up, and trout
had a chance to work up out of tho smaller
streams. Many of tho Btreams In tho vi
cinity of Swlftwnter aro leased by tho
Swiftwnter Preserve company, and hence
n permit has to bo obtained before ono Is
nllowed to fish. Tho Pohaqliallno asso
ciation has all tho best territory along
McMlchael's. but there Is still lots of good
llshlng to bo had. From Canadensis car.io
tho report: 'Tho streams wore never In
finer condition, nnd there secmn to be
plenty of fish. They were not fished out
last season nnd tho outlook for splendid
catches Ss fine.' "
Tho state printer announces that the re
port of tho Pennsylvania fish commis
sioners for ISM will be ready for Issuo on
or beroro May 1st. This work Is tho larg
est tho commissioners have over gotten
out, comprising (Including pictures) 1,000
pages. Thcro are nearly 200 Illustrations.
Wllllnm K. Meehan Is beginning tho pre
paration of the lllsh commission report for
1S97. It Is expected tho copy will bo In
the printer's hands by the middle ot June,
nnd will bo ready for distribution about
Oct. 1.
In the house at llarrlsburg Saturday,
much time was taken up nt tho morning
session In discussing the bill prepared by
the state fish commission. By a vote of
SS to 38 tho house, on motion of Mr. Peo
ples, of Lancaster, went Into committee,
of tho wholo for special amendment. Tho
amendment "provides that nothing con
tained In tho net "shall prohibit the llsh
lng with set nets In nny of tho streams
of this commonwealth, which do not con
tain brook trout from the fifteenth day of
April to the fifteenth day of June, nnd
from tho fifteenth day of September to
the fifteenth day ot November; provided
said nets do not span more than five fc-H
and have meshes not less than one Inch
square. Nor shall anything contained In
this act prohibit fishing with fish baskets,
In nny of the rivers of this commonwealth
which flow partly through this and partly
through nn adjoining state, or states, from
tho fifteenth day of September to tho fif
teenth day ot Novemler, provided said
baskets have a movable bottom with strips
nicely rounded on the corners ond placed
not lesa than three-fourths of an liwh
apart. Tho bottom is to bo removed not
later than one hour before sunset." The
report was adopted.
The storm raised tho creeks considera
bly, but thoso who braved tho elements
and took along llvo bait had not much
reason to complain, says a Monroo county
paper. As a rule the enthusiastic trout
fisherman docs not mind getting wet, nnd
some fairly good catches aro reported. The
streams wero high, but not too high for
big fish.
The biggest fish yet heard from was
caught In Brodhead's creek at Sprague
vllle by Homer Leo, a well-known rail
roader of East Stroudshurg. It was
twenty-one Inches long and tipped tho
scale at three pounds and threo quarters.
He caught a string ot eight altogether,
alt fine fish. Ed. Lee, of East Strouds
hurg, fishing 'down creek from Sprague
ville, caught a two-and-a-half-pounder,
measuring eighteen Inches, and several
others not quite so large. Charles Shackle
ton brought back a fine basket of fish from
a trip up Pocono creek, eight In number,
and nono less than twelve Inches long.
A quartette, who went to Tannersvllle,
was composed of H. J. Kotz, esq., Dr.
Kotz, of Easton; Register and Recorder
Warner and William Van Gordon.
Tlirougout tho county tho Influx of city
fisherman is bigger perhaps than for
several years past. Incoming New York,
Susquehanna and Westorn, Wllkes-Barro
and Eastern and Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western trains on Wednesday
brought scores to tho stations In this
county from all sections. At tho Mc
Mlchacl's hotel tho following members of
tho Pohoqunllne Fishing association are
registered: Charles Plntt, Eugene Town
send, J. Price Wetherlll. T. Johnson, S. P.
Wetherlll. all of Bethlehem. They held
their nnnual meeting on Wednesday even
ing. The Price brothers, ot Spruce Cabin,
Canadensis, havo twenty-flvo fishermen
nnd had to refuse as many more. Up at
"Wes" Henry's there nro about thirty
anxious to whip tho preserves of tho
Parksldo Angling association. Among
them aro Charles Wright and William
Trimpl, of Newark; Henry and Joseph
Wells, of Brooklyn: William Ogelsby, Sun
derland Law and Daniel Keys, of Phila
delphia; John II. AVIUIams, esq,, of this
town, and H. S. Puterbaugh, of East
Stroudsburg. Tho association held Its
first annual meeting on Wednesday even
ing. Almost a scoro of fishermen aro reg
istered at Laurel Inn, at Stauffor's, nnd a
great many moro aro expected the first
few days of the season.
A paradlso for sportsmen would bo the
preserves of tho Blooming Grovo associa
tion, of PIko county. The club has Its
lnrgo hatchery nt Hazle Spring, near
Shohola creek, and during tho season
600,000 trout wero hatched. Of tho fry
330,000 wero turned out In tho streams
and Lako Giles, and 130,000 wore kept tor
flngerllng stock. Thcro wero also turned
Into tho angling waters 3.000 3-year-olds,
2.000 2-year-olds and 8,00) 1-year-olds. Be
talncd for further stock nro 8,000 2-year
o'.ds and 10.0001-year- old trout.
Solly Smith and Martin Flaherty signed
articles Saturday for a 20-round contest nt
tho Broadway Athletic club ono week
after tho Lavlfine-Connolly fight.
Eastern boxers nro In demand In San
Fanclsco. Tho Olympic club has offered
a J2.E00 purso nnd J230 for expenses for a
bout between Tommy West nnd Georgo
Green cm May 10.
Corbott's press agents nro hunting all
mnnner of excuses for his detent nt Car
son and doing him n lot of Injury by their
tnlk. Corbett was fairly whipped, Theru
wns no nccldent about It, ns Corbett is try
ing to mnko himself bcllovo.
Says Kid McCoy: "There Is n difference
between the fighters of tho Antipodes and
tho American fighter. Tho former nro a
rough lot, and tho average Intelligence Is
fnr below us Amerlcnn boxers. Still, they
don't talk quite as much ns some of us,"
Tho heaviest winner In Portland, Ore.,
on tho Fltzslmmons-Corbctt fight was
Jack Dcmpsey's widow. Shortly beforo
tho Nonpareil Oled he told his wife that
Fltz could whip nr.y fighter on earth If
given tho opportunity, and acting on this
Mrs. Dempsey wagered her all on the light
and this amounted to several thousand
dollars.
"Kid" McCoy, who may some dny de
feat Fltzslmmcrs, was knocked out twlco
In his career. Fltzslmmons knew only
ono defeat, and John L. Sullivan complet
ed his ring experience with no moro dis
asters to his credit. Champion Tommy
Rynn was only knocked out once, nnd
Georgo Dixon novcr know what It wns to
