Glllon ought to be able to pitch a win ning same today. Meaney siHtalncd o slight Injuty to one of his fingers while practicing yesterday morning. Hobby Moore, who was with Hangar In the New Knglar.d league las-t season, is putting up a good game at second for Spiinglleld. "Little Jack" Horner, whose disastrous efforts In the box are renumbered from last season, is pitching tb'ls year for Paw tucket nnd doing good work. The rule requiring a captain to remain in bis position In tho Held when he de sires to talk with the umpire Is being cheerfully disregarded by all captains. In chnmploi'shlp games In which he has participated on tho Toronto team, Jlc Oann has cracked cut a batting average of .410, nnd beds the Kanueks at the bat thus far. A little more energy on the coaching lines might encourage tho bleachers to exercise their voices. The blcacherltes have been atlllcted with frozen pipes so far this year. The ex-king of the south paddles, whose port wing cuught seoies of base runnels Ubtray ficm llret bise, Mnttlo Kllroy, is again In charge of tho Port Richmond team this season. Klrst Ratcman Charley Lutenberg, who Is under reservation by Toronto, ami who refuses to play there because his salary has born cut, has appealed to the national board for release. O'NellJ, tho Mlnooka lad, who Is catch ing for Rochester, hurt a finger in the sixth Innlt.g at Springfield, but plucklly tlnlslieil the game, although tho Injured member evidently bothered him. The city haH clerks challenge tho news paper mn to a game of ball to be played at any time on the Ml. Pleasant gioumls, near K. Robinson's brewery, or the James Roys grounds, near the Lackawanna brewery. On May 10 last year Scranton occupied sixth position with n percentage of only ,2SiJ. Providence wns first, Rochester, sec ond, Trnetiso third, Springfield fourth, Toronto (Ifth, Ruffalo seventh and Wilkes Harre last. MeKarland pitched for Rochester yester day and Rochester won. Ho Is one of tho cracks of tho league und If he hud been In condition to havo taken his regular turn In the box Rochester would not now ba so far down In the race. The Wllkes-Ilarre management has pliced the names of Howard J. Luckcy and George Meekln, two pitchers belong ing to the Ccal Karons, on tho suspended list. Mcakln received advance money last season, but failed to report or oven return the amount advanced. Luckey persists In playing wlth'Mauch Chunk. Wllkcs-Barie Record. FOR QUOIT PLAYERS.

EASILY BENDS RAILROAD SPIKES Tliis Nineteen-Year-Old J.nd Tcnrs Two Pucks of Curds, Tosses -lOO-Pound Itccr linrrels Around nnd Seems Destined to lie Champion Strong .linn in n Pew Ycnrs-ncgnn His Pcnts with Little or No Training ChlcnRo, May 10. flarry Waller, who has recently located in this city, is a mere lud In years nnd weight, al though' he can show a natural mus cular development which would aston ish trained athletes und professors of physical culture. Indeed, among the few to whom Wnller has exhibited his strength haw been physicians who, attracted by bis suiforabundance of muscle, have made special examinations to be certain of the facts and then doubted their .own figures us taken In his measurements, That a young man nineteen years of age, weighing 117 pounds and standing r feet 1 Indies in his boots could show stifllclent strength to easily raise a dumbbell weighing 115 pounds over his head with one hand, was a feat few could comprehend. His other feats of strength simply added to their as tonishment. NOT A TRAINED KXPERT. Waller Is far from belnpr a trained expert with heavy weights, the fact that he came to America only three years ago and that until nine months ago he never appeared In public Indi cates that his tricks are free from all Juggling nnd purely an exhibition of muscular force. Waller was born in Switzerland in 1S78, His strength is inherited, as his father, while an upholsterer by trade, was a remarkable man. Wallet, pere, was C feel 2 inches In height and weighed 18o pounds. He could hold nt arm's length S3 pounds easily. A sister one year younger and weighing 1G0 pounds, Is admitted by Waller to bo Ills master In heavy weight lifting. "She used to catch mo by the belt and hold me up at arms length," Bald Waller, "and she could whip any two boys In school." Soon after coming to this country, young Wnller visited St. Louis nnd there saw a man bend railroad spikes with the naked hands. After the per formance Waller tried it and found he could do It easily. After that lie would undertake any trick he suw performed on the stage. One day last summer while in San Francisco ho was tossIr.fr around beer barrels weighing 400 pounds with teeth and one linger, and a bystander sug gested that he give exhibitions. Among the tilcks that he did upon the stage was to hold l.COO pounds upon his chest nnd bend railroad spikes eight inches long and flvo eights of an Inch thick into the form of staples, using the hands. HIS GREATEST PEAT. His greatest feat, however. Is to tear two packs of cards Into halves. He then tears one pack into quarters, and with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand and middle finger nnd palm of the loft ho tears these tiny parts Into eighths and again Into sixteenths. This tiick Is said to be the cleverest ever shown by a strong man of long experience and reputation. Waller's measurements' are as fol lows: Con Relaxod, tiacted, Inches. inches. Rlceps 12 ii!j Forearm 14 I4',i Chest 33 31 Neck Hij IS',5 His legs nre of more normal develop ment, as before stated, his weight be ing 11" pounds and height r. feet 1V6 inches. He Is truly the boy Hercules." STORY OF CARSON FIGHT. Wyatt Earp and Ills Gun Were in Bob Fllzsinimons' CornerSquared Himself with Fltz. There is n story of tho big fight at Carson going the rounds thut Is worth repeating just for the purpose of show ing to what an extent somo people's Imagination will carry them. It runs as follows: During tho tumult that followed Die fourteenth round at Carson and after Coibett had made his lnfminted dash at I'-ltzsimmons tho victor stood In Ids own corner. The ring wna full of ex cited men, who pushed, pulled and struggled. No one seemed to know what the commotion was about, but everybody pulled and yelled Just the same. The CornlBhmati was the cool est man In the writhing throng. Suddenly a tremor darted through his huge frame, nnd a look of appre hension settled on his still bloody face. Tho pugilist felt a cold, clammy sensa tion on the right side of his neck, and. glancing daw, ho eaw the glowing barrel of a well-developed shooting iron resting on his shoulder. Visions of death In his fighting shoes passed tnvittly before the pugilist's mind. He could feel that the gun was clasped by a muscular hand, and then he felt tho left arm of tho gun wielder thrown about his left shoulder. The boxer was preparing to make a mighty effort to save his life or to sell It as dearly as possible when a volco hlBsed In his ear, "Keep quiet, Rob; you're perfectly safe. The Hrt galoot that moves a finger at you will get perforated with lead till ho looks like a porous plaster. Wyatt Harp's your friend." Hob stood perfectly quiet until the commotion had subsided, and then, when tho gun was withdrawn, tho boxer heaved n sigh of relief and re tired in good order. This was the unlquo method em ployed by Wyatt Earp to square him self with Fltz, who was deprived of a little matter of $10,000 by Burp's de cision in the bout with Sharkey in San FranelBco, nnd Mr. Enrp no doubt con siders that the production of his trusty shooting-iron and the preservation of Fits! from real or imaginary danger wipes out any claim that Fits may have had, The Cornlshmnn makes a wry face when he thinks of that $10, 000, hut he evidently considers It wlso not to oppose Mr. Earp and Ills handy Bun. -- uJ-i -.. . WHEELS AND PRINTERS' INK. How tho Cycling Povcr If ns Crept Into tho Nowspnpcr Press, The growth of the wheeling furore has had Its effect, remarks a writer In tho Washington Star, uikw the lit erature of the period. Not a few ro mances of tho day have brought tho bicycle Into the web of the stories and caused It to form an Important ad junct In dramatic denouement. There nr bicycle departments in all the lead ing dally newspapers In every Import ant city on the continent: many staid nnd conservative magazines regularly devote a portion cf their cpnee to tho interests 6f the wheeling fraternity; t porting and outing Journals pay great heed to tho pastime, while in nearly every central city of tho continent there are periodicals, weekly and monthly, that mako of the prevailing rage their nlmost exclusive concern. There are In the t'nlted States at present twenty-live weekly Joitrnnls devoted exclusively to wheeling, seven 'that nre published monthly nnd three Issued semi-monthly. In addition to these many trade Journals are issued that pay especial attention to the in terests of manufacturers and dealers, while a number of hand books contain ing information of value to wheelmen are issued from tho press at Inter vals quarterly, semi-annually and an nually. All tho leading almanacs give much space to racing events In every part of the world, but particularly to amateur contests. Dealers in snorting goods, In preparing their quarterly cat alogues, give prominence to all that is new In Invention for the comfort nnd adornment .of wheelmen and wheolwo men, besides directing attention to re cent nppurtennnces that contribute to slued and relaxation. Tho "funny" papers, too, make tho latest jokes of and about cycles a leading feajl their pnges. BRADY'S BIG SCHEME. Manhattan Field to B: the Scene Sports of All KindsSome Events in View. of New York, May 10. Hilly Rrady and Jim Corbett will lease Manhattan Field and erect a boxing arena capable of holding 17,000 people. They will also build a half-mile cycle track, tennis courts, etc., and In winter turn the field Into a skating rink, free to the public, tho only restriction being that It hire its skates of the management. Rrady also hopes to have the big foot ball games pulled off here. Already the club has two big fights, the Shar-key-Maher and Creedon-McCoy, ar ranged for, and is arranging for the O'Rrien-McCoy battle. A four-round bout between Corbett and the winner of the Pharkey-Mahor fight Is contemplated, also a limited round contest between Fltz and Cor bett. Corbett is to be referee and man ager of all fights, excepting, of course, those in which he takes part. Presi dent Freedmnn, of the New York club, who holds the present lease of tho grounds, will have an Interest in the club. Rrady says that though there is a slight hitch in the deal, everything will be arranged by the end of this week. The first of the fights before the club will .probably be the McCoy-O'Brien, which will take place not later than June 10. FIGHT AWARDED TO CH0YNSKI. Referee Roche Cuts the Rout Short. Smith's Poul Tnctics. New York, May 10. The twenty round bout between Joe Choynskl, of California, and Denver Ed Smith to night was cut short by Referee Roche, who stopped the bout after two min utes and eight seconds of fighting In the fourth round. Smith frequently tried to hold Choynskl's hand during the first three rounds, and was round ly hissed for doing so. Choynskl had an easy task, for he knocked Smith down In the first round and tho Denver man took nearly the full ten seconds In getting to his feet. Joe was always ready with left Jnbs, and he sent them In on Smith's face repeatedly at the close of the third round. Smith's face was badly punched and the blood trickled over Choynskl's body during clinches. The foul tactics of Smith in the fourth round made Referee Roche caution him. Finally Smith clinched and refused to break, acting like one bereft of his, senses. The referee shout ed to him but all to no purpose, and as soon as Smith was Induced to let go ho was sent to his corner and the fight awarded to Choynskl. Choynskl was the favorite in the betting ut odds of 7 to C. Choynskl was seconded by Tom Sharkey, Parson Devles, George Ross nnd Bob Armstrong; Smith by Peter Maher. Pete Rums. Buck Connolly, Dick Colyer and Jack Qulnn. Choyn skl weighed 178 pounds and Smith was a few pounds heavier. Three Times Scut to Grass. llaltlmore. May 10.
