"With nil the players pitchers ex cepted In the best of condition, Man nKer Ciriilln and Ills pack of base bnll experts reached home Saturday nfter noon and after fthovlng a huiTled lunch beneath their waistbands, proceeded to Athletic park, where they served up nine roosc c-sks to the Wyoming seminary team. The men were somewhat bronzed by "the changes of cold and heat exper iences on the exhibition trip, and ap peared In tliie fettle. Their defeats did not dispirit them, because they knew they fared no better and no worse than other clubs exhibiting in the At lantic league, find were conscious of the fact that the result could hardly have been otherwise conslderlnr the Injured pitchers, and what It Is to utack up against home umpires. Jlorse, "Wellncr, Ycrkcs and Meaney, the whole pitching staff, and night Field er Daly were Incapacitated during a part or a whole of the trip. Pitcher Harper reached here Satur day fortunately, and lie, Glllon and Horse belnjr available holds out en couragement In the opening ehamplon ehlp games beginning Thursday. The team will not be short on pitchers. Then there are Meaney, Wellner, Fal lon and Ycrkes. two of whom may be picked to join Harper, Glllon and Morse on the regular pitching staff. BONNHIl HAS IMPROVED. Frank Bonner, the second baseman, who left the team a week ngo, after a long period of Inactivity, lack of training and In as poor physical condi tion as any player, returns with the evidences of marked Improvement. The week's work did much for him, and lias put him In almost as good form as imy of his mates. He showed that lr. Saturday's game. Daly, on account of his knee, and some of the pltchera are not In such shape as Manager Grlflln would like to have them, but he is satisfied that nil hands will be nil right by Thursdny. Al Buckenbcrger, the Toronto mana ger, the Providence and Scranton nre the strongest teams In the league. Buekenberger Is of course modest and does not mention his own team, but ho says, according to the Syracuse Evening News: "I think the Providence team the strongest In the league. It Is made up qf old, reliable players, wlo know nil the points of the game, and while Can avnn will not be with the team this year they will not be greatly weak ened. Next to Providence I should say Scranton Is the strongest. They will be a big Improvement over last year's team. Heard will be a valuable addi tion to the team." "What do you thing of the Buffalo team?" "I cannot see where It comes In. It certnlnly has not been strengthened. There are n number of unknown men on the tenm's roster, nnd how they will show up Is a matter that time alone will tell. "Hnchester hns not been strengthened In my opinion. Springfield Is making a number of experiments. Wilkes Barre Is not gilt edge, and Toronto Is nn unknown (mantity thus far. I be lieve Providence nnd Scranton will be in the race at the finish." "Where do you think the Stars will llnlsl- ?" "Syracuse hns the best team ever made up In this city. It will have something to say about where the pen nant will float In the year 1S9S. I am not going to make any boasts, neither will I make any predictions. We are prepared to saw a yard full of wood, and we. are going to do It." The score of Saturday's game with the seminary team sulllclently explnlns the result of 8 to nothing. The two pitchers, Glllon and Fallon, performed the bulk of the work for the profes sionals, their effectiveness giving the men behind them but thirteen chances in addition to the putouts.

FINE SCORING POINT. President Young Interprets the Itulc Relating to Kurncd ICuns. Washington, April 25. President Young, of the National Baseball lengue, makes the following announcement: Washington, D. C, April 21, 1S37. To Baso Ball Scorers; I have lecelved several communications asking for an ollicial Interpretation of. the ru'.o (Section 9, Itulo 71) relative to earned runs. An earned run Is a run that reaches home base without the aid of a fielding or battery errors, A "stolen base" cannot cut nny llgure. Although thero Is no chargeablo error, still some one Is at fault In ono of several ways which would not Justify the scoring ot a fielding error. A baso runner who makes a base hit and Is advanced a base by a successful sacrifice hit, Is entitled to the credit of an earned rum if ho reaches homo baso before chances have been offered to retire his side. The Fectlon must bo considered In telligently as a whole and not In part, and admits of no other fair Interpretation. DIAMOND DUST. Daly was yesterday conllned to his bed. He was suffering from chills and a se vere cold. As yet tho Pawtucket peoplo aro not willing to believe Hint there is a third baseman In the New England league who can givo "Bill" Coughlln any points Pawtucket Post. Wellner's split hand Is not a trifling Injury. It may bo ten days before ho can pitch. A batted ball struck be tween the little and third fingers of his pitching hand and toro the two lingers apart tho distance, of an Inch below the knuckles. Syracuse had a more disastrous trip than did Scranton, yet tho Stars defeat ed Bochcster in yesterday's exhibition game. Tho New York Giants defeated tho Elizabeth team by an overwhelming scoro and yet tho latter defeated the Athletics, who defeated Scranton with ease. Surely exhibition games "cut no Ice;" If they do then Lancaster Is bet ter than Brooklyn, Boanoko better than Baltimore, Norfolk better than Philadel phia, and ho on ntl libitum. Its bow a club plays and Is made up that counts rather than the scores of exhibition games. The crank will do well to tack that In his hat. JAMES JUDGE MATCHED. Will Meet Sam Tonkin In New York at the Fifth Avenue Athletic Club Thursday Night. James Judge, this city's popular young lightweight, is matched to box 23 rounds Thursday night with Sam Tonkin at the Fifth avenue Athletic club. Judge left Plttston for New York yesterday afternoon and will re ceive his finishing training touches and Instructions from Jack Skelly, of Brooklyn, who will be behind him the night of tho light. Although Judge has n largo following In and about Scranton, tho most Intim ate of hit. friends regret that he hns agreed to coneedo weight to so good a man as Tonkin. The latter stlnu lated that he be permitted to weigh In us high as 143 pounds on the night of the bout. Judge seldom attains within six or seven pounds of that weight in fighting trim, and that Is a great difference among lightweights. Still there are scores of ring fol lowers In Scranton who believe that with all his handicap Judge will show himself to the New Yorkers as a clever, shifty and skillful ring general and will win his battle. If he gets the de cision there are two well known Scran ton sporting men who will back him In a match against "Kid" McPartland nnd other good men. The Judge-Tonkin bout Is to bo tho star event of the night, and will follow four preliminaries. A number of Scranton, Wllkes-Barre nnd Pittston people will Journey to New York to back northeastern Pennsylvania's lightweight champion. Sports. U. OF P.

With a fast track, large attendance, a glo rious spring day and all the principal colleges and schools In the eastern states represented, Pennsylvania's re lay carnival at Franklin Field Satur day afternoon left nothing to be de sired. Of the eighteen races on the programme, the Interest centered In tho three championship contests, nt one, two and four miles. For tho two-mile championship Yale, Brown, Holy Cross and Pennsylvania were originally entered. Brown, liow ever, was tho only outside college to send a team, nnd the race was nar rowed down to a dual contest, In which Pennsylvania ran the Providence sprinters off their feet, the Quakers winning by more than 150 yards. Ynle was Pennsylvania's only com petitor In the four-mile championship, which Pennsylvania won after a pret ty contest. The mile chnmplonshlp race was the event of the afternoon and saw five teams on the track Georgetown, Yale, Pennsylvania, Harvard and the Car lisle Indians, Lafayette having with drawn her entry owing to Injuries re ceived by her men. some days ago. It was a red hot sprint from start to finish. Hollster won it for Harvard by seven yards. THACK AND FIELD SPOnTS.

Jar vls, 1900, made the fastest quarter, covering the distance in 31 seconds. FOR THE BICYCLIST. Tho matter of enameling a wheel Is not such an easy Job as It may look, and the method used by the manufacturer Is much different from that of tho rider hlmscir. In tho factories there Is a large vat of enameling fluid all ready for work, and tho frame, plugged up with wooden stop pers at all openings, Is dipped In tho liquid, then hung up and allowed to drip. Sometimes three or four dips Is necessary to get the enamel spread evenly all ovr the Htirfaeo of a wheel. After the coat ing has had a chanco to get naturally hard the frame Is removed to another room and placed with a number of others In a largo oven, whero It Is submitted to the baking process. The amateur who desires to enamel his wheel has none of these facilities, yet he can mako n satis factory Job with a little care. A wheel looks horribly when enameled In an Im proper manner. First scrapo all of tho old enamel from the frame, showing the steel tube clear and clean. Get a can of tho color enamel desired, and bo cer tain that It is a fresh can. After standing n while or once opened tho enameling be come? hard nnd thick and Is not of tho proper consistency for use. Lay the li quid on tho frame with an ordinary paint brush, some have used a camel's hair brush, but tho results have not been en tirely satisfactory. Do not mako any "holidays" as a painter terms It, but apply evenly on all parts of the surface. When through placo tho wheel In eomo placo where It will not catch tho dust and give plenty of tlmo to harden, tho longer tho better. Tho baking featuro serves to prevent the enamel from so easily show ing scratches and other marks of wear, but tho amateur can dispense with this part of the work. Tho full value of the tangent spoke Is obtained only when the spokes are bound with a small wire at tho point of cross ing, nnd oftentimes' soldered. This Is something seldom considered by tho aver ago rider. When tho wire which holds tho spokes together Is broken, tho value of tho tangent spoke Is lost. Thero are not many wheels placed on tho market this season in which the spokes are thus tied, and tho cause Is tho whim of tho riding public and the repair man, Whon tho epokes aro tied the strain Is removed from the weakest point of tho spokes that Is, the ends whero they enter tho rim and hub and transferred to the point of crossing. In truing such whceU tho task is harder than truing a wheel In which tho spokes are not tied, and then again It Is too difficult a matter to rotto the spokes, when ono happens to break and a new ono Is substituted. It Is on this account that most manufacturers have censed to placo the tied spokes on the market. The Tribune AMATUUR BASE BALL CONTBST. o ONE VOTE FOR II. II. Club ot - Voter's Name Address......

Several New Contestants Jump Into the Balloting with Over 200 Votes Each. Following is the vote in Tho Tri bune's amateur baseball uniform con test according to the returns up to 0 o'clock Saturday night: West Side Browns 107a West Side Harmonies 702 Sliders 488 Lackawanna 319 JMayflelds 23S South Side Violets 230 Taylor drays 203 High School 71 Old Forge Dodgers - 97 flrecn Ridge Actives 50 Nay Aug Stars 20 Archbald Sunsets 15 Sailors 9 Turners 6 Pine Ifrook Crescents - 1 Total 3691 Over two thousand votes, or exactly 2,259, were received durlmr Saturday. That Is pretty good evidence that the amateurs are on thi alert and anxious not to miss a complete free ou'tilt of uniforms, llist-class nnd made to or der. Although the West. Side Browns are ovi r ".00 votes In the lead, It will be about two months before that or any other club can claim a victory. This was shown In several way.4 during Sat urday. The leading West Side Browns received 54C votes but the Harmonies received C23 and made a greater pro portionate gain. The Mayflelds, South Side Violets and Taylor Grays hadn't received a vote up to 9 o'clck Friday night but they bobbed up during Sat urday with over 200 each. How the Scianton Illsh school with Its several hundred students can long remain eighth In the voting lsi not understood. It is plain that should so many students begin to Interest them selves In the contest, the present lead ers will h'ave to hustle to hold their positions. It Is not too late for new contestants. Just figure this way: If your club gets per day 50 more votes than some of the leaders, your gain will be 300 votes per week. AMATEUR BALL NOTES. The P. A.
