Ycrkes, himself not In the best of condition, was the only available Scranton pitch er today and was put In to lob the ball over and let the Lancaster players lilt it until they were tired. AVhen it was all over Iancaster had piled up 34 hits for 55 bases and won by the score of 21 to 9. Tho game was a rout. Although Lancaster made 10 errors and with generous scoring nt that Scranton was never In It. It was plain that Yerkes made no effort to pitch. The game served to give Grlflln's men more practice than they wanted and it It creditable that they emerged from the slaughter with only four eirors chalked against them. Mngulre, Beard and O'Neill are playing splendidly. Meaney continues to be under the weather and today Morse joined the band of patten ! Conpldtlring that the club is practically without pitchers without pltcheis 'who are well or un injured the club can hat illy lie expected to win games. The test of the men are getting Into good form and If the pitch ing corps conies around nil light there will bo no excuses to offer when the fceason opens next Thursday. Gilllln has not seen much of tho playing while on the trip because of his duties at the gate. He will be In uni form at home nnd then there may bo expected a difference. Score: LANCASTER It. H. O. A.

The women's congress to bo held at the Hotel Walton, Philadelphia, next week, Is attracting consldetablo at tention In tho whist world.

Nearly 100 entries of pairs have already leen made In the pair contest and a corresponding nui'iber In the other events. The lnrge room In tho hotel holds 150 tables nnd It now seems probable that It will not be large enough. A number of hand some prizes have been donated, and the committee In charge wcto especially delighted to lecelvo a magnificent tro phy, tho gift of Mrs. John Pilce Weth erlll, of Philadelphia. It will lie called the "Philadelphia Trophy," nnd will be the championship emblem for women's pairs. One of the contests will be for mixed double pairs nnd will be a great featuie. as many entries hnvo been re ceived ftom noted whist players, who will accompany their wives and daugh ters to the congress. It will be n mis- lake if our local women whisters are not represented. Tho match to be played on the 21th between Hamilton nnd the New Jersey Whist club will doubtless be the lost one for tho piesent trophy, for. If won by Hamilton, It wlllhecome their prop erty. Mr. Otis doubtless feels that while defeat H not pleasant, yet In this, case the sting will be slight owing to the opportunity of Joining In the re joicing nt West Philadelphia. The Hamilton team has made a masnlll cent record in this contest nml will re ceive tho hentty congtatulntlons of nil whist playeis If they win this linn! game. It will bo too bad If by any of the possible elements which the (lckle goddess scatters even In dunllcate whist they should ue obliged to defer their rejoicing until next winter. The New urii Evening Post says: "A dis tinguishing featuio of this champion ship tenm (Hamilton) Is the utmost generosity with which they invariably sp'ik of their nilv rsniles, no matter wiiat the result of their meeting them may be." Milton C. Work, in the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, discusses the open ing lend of the following hand, and it will Interest nil whist playeis who rec ognize his nblllti : From Roiietcr, N.

Wo think a trump altogether tho wisest and snfert lead. In tha suit ou know ou have strength, eliher of the othei Is mere ly a Fhot In tho daik, w'th the chances two to one against Us success. itn much a Hand, If tho tiumps are gotten out unci partner has a strong suit, there is a chance for a big game. Tho only real question Is whether to open with tho Aco or Six. If the trump suit wbb headed Ace, King, Jack there could bo no question about the Ace opening being soun I, while on tho other h ml, if tho Ten w ih trans formed Into a Nine the fouith bett would certainly bo right. While tho present case Is a close one, we are ine'lned to sllt'htly faor tho choice of the fourth best. The "top of nothing" lead from a long suit without tin honor has been endotsed in these columns, and a very able nrtlcle on the third hand ilnesse of the Jack from A. J. X., by R. F. Foster, Is an additional argument in its favor. When third hand i"an rely on the small card lead of partner being supported by an honor, it mnkes the above finesse a trick winner. This will be understood and acnowledgeel by all students of the game. It is with considerable dllildence, however, that the writer wishes to call attention to the meilts of the ilnesse fiom K. J. X. While its indltcrlmlnate use in nil cases would not be urged, yet there aie gieat possibilities in Its careful use, not the least of Which will be the dlscomlltuio of the opponent who re turns or leads through the leader.
