o THE SOUANTON TRIBUNEWEDNESDAY MOItNTNGr, JUNE 2. 1897. In the BASE BALL TEAM GOES ON ITS TRIP Miners Will Begin at Buffalo Today Tbclr Games Abroad. rUYERS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION Vitchcrs Ilnvo (Jot Into Good Torin nml MnsHcV mid Uoriui Ilnve About Itccorcred from Their lniirlcs. "Wot Grounds" in WHkcs-Bnrro VcHtcidny WnsSomcwIintofnTnUc. Sutnmnry of tho Wilkes-llnrrc-Scrnuton Series. The Mlnera were flim-flammed Into a tlo with Syracuse In second place yes terday, thanks to the easy confidence 6t the Wllkes-Barro management. "While the Bcranton players were dress Ins for the game In Wllkes-Barre. Manager Powell came In person to the I.lutrn house where the Scranton club van Eton Ping and announced that the Krourfdrf ver too wet for playlnp. That .-.vus-at 2.30 o'clock. At 12.45 o'clock In response to a telephone messarce from Bcranton, Manager Griffin was told that tfiu weather vas favorable and that there would be a game. The point, however. Is that the only rain experienced In Wllkes-Barre was a shower about 11 o'cloclt which woa .followed by bright and clearing weath er and In no sense were the grounds or wcath'erinflt for playing. The Wllkes Barre pcqple resorted to a very lame ruse to avoid a trouncing which was as tcood as admlnlgtered when the-Mlners entered the -town. Prospects of a slim attendance of fans who have tired of .Teeing Manlager PouU's aggregation '.ot misfits succumb to a superior team was probably another reason for the "wot grounds." At 12.20 o'clock this morning the Pcranton and Wllkes-Barre clnbs left here In a special sleeping car for the north. The Miners will begin today at Buffalo their campaign abroad, playlnu thr: games there and at Toronto, P.ochester and Syracuse in the order named before returning home on the 17th for three games each with Provi dence and Springfield. The club goes away with all the players In good condition, excepting Walters who will be left behind, and with no excuses to offer, barring In juries, If they fall to itn less than half their games on the trip. Massey and T3aga.n had not entirely recovered from tb'olr slight injuries received during the games with Wllkes-Barre, but both will probably Iegln playing today. Meaney accompanies the team as the extra out fielder, and In case of accident to the Infield O'Brien would be moved Into the diamond, though Boyd will play first base today if Massey Is unable to get in the same. The chief weakness of the club up to a week ago, was itu pitchers, than whom there ore no four better In any team In the league but who were han dicapped by trivial physical complaints, nifilclcnt to interfere with their best .work. Morsa had a lame ankle, Harper ' a strained tendon on his pitching el bow, Wellner a lame forearm and Gil lnn a boll. All these Irregularities have ben overcome and the Miner tjuaitette ' of twirlers left home ready to lie pitted against the best the league affords. It Is Wellner's turn to pitch today, but Qlllon will probably be selected as he Is better acquainted with the weak nesses of the Bison batsmen and can be better coached by Gunson or Boyd. Harper is due to pitch the third Buffalo gamn and "Pop" Morse to open at To ronto on Saturday. The penny-wise and pound-foolish Idea, has been nut Into nlnv liv tii Wllkes-Bane manasement in the re lease yesterday of Second Baseman Sam Mills and Pitchers Roach and L. Smith. The release of the pitchers can not be criticized but Mills' case is dif ferent. 'Excepting Odwell, no player on the Wllkes-Baire team made a bet ter Impression than did Mills during the recent series. He played equally as well as the average second baseman of the league and made two of tho hits that helped give his team the only game won from Scranton. His release was not at all fancied by his fellow players according to the sentiments ex pressed by several of them in this city last night. Shcrtstop McMahon has recovered from his illness and will accompany the club on tho trip. Pitcher Odwell, who has been playing shortstop, will be transformed to bocond base. He will pitch an occasional game though Kcenan. Coakley and Sheehan will do the bulk of the box work. A dispatch from Wllkes-Barre last night stated that McDade, nn amateur pitcher from Philadelphia, had been signed by the Wilkes-Barre club. He is a third baseman and not an ama teur. He played with Atlanta in 1895, and Is said to be a good one. Charley Smith has been playing poorly and pos sibly he Is to be replaced by McDade. The summary of the runs, hits and errors of the five Wllkes-Barre-Scran-on games Is as follows: n. h. i:. Scranton , 3t j a Wllkes-Barre is 41 13 18 23 i 1 This shows that tho Miners averaged about 7 runs, 13 hits and 2 errors per game, nnd -Wllkes-Barre $ runs, 8 hits and' 3 errors. 1 Neither Abo Lezotto nor Jim Fields got a hit yesterday, SyracuMj has released Shearon to Hoch enter and nas released Grove uncoiidl tlonr.lly. The most games lost by one club to an other havo been the five by Rochester to Syracuse. ' Pitcher Callahan, late of the Itochesters ,and formerly In tho Southern Lcaguo hai signed with Lancaster, Two out of three at Buffalo would put the Miners In first placo If Syracuse didn't win three straight from 8prlns!lel,d, The Scranton owners are a little nhcail, financially, on tho present season. It was the general Impression that tho practice trip was a losing venture, but the guar anties and surplus proceeds of the games more than paid the expenses of the trip. Now that tho story of the peculiar play fln the LofUyctte-Pcnnaylvarwi oolloge .gamo has gone tho rotinlu and with dea lt being given to the Wllkes-llarro Rec ord It might bc Just as well to say, and correctly, II at the stcry first appeared In tho Scranton Tribune. Pitcher Coakley, of the Wllkej-Rarro club,bacame over-demonstrative during uu Interview with President Bogart yesterday und was fined J2J for his Indiscretion and for another reason. . For tho "other rea son" Uetts, Digging and Charley Smith UPoria of were during tho day In a condition which ma do them also liable to a line. Tho moral tone of Iho base ball player has Improved of late. Think of Mike Kel ly walking oft tho field between Innings and staking himself to a cocktail, while one of tho owners ot the club stood sldo of his at tho bar. That's what Kelly ucd to do when ho ran King Kelly's killers for Chris Von der Ahe. And ho mado his pulse all tho stronger by asking Chris to smllo with him. "Dad1 Clarke put up a neat llttlo confi dence game on Amos Rusle at tho l'olo grounds, In '95," says Lester German. "Ono morning after practlco the gang were discussing sprinting, and Clarke raid ho thought that Rusle was about as fast on tho Backs as Jack Mllllgan or Ted Lar kin. You could get a haircut and sham poo while Mllllgan or Ted were loping from first to second. Now Rusle prides himself on his shlftlnesB for a man of his pounds, and ho offered to bet Dad that Ho could mako 100 yards In less tlmo than the comedy twlrler. Dad covered Amos' money Iho bet was for $50 and agreed to rnco Amos tho next morning. Amo3, who was not booked to pitch the next day, got himself in trim for tho match by limbering up that afternoon. When ho and Dad met at the scratch Dad stipulat ed that the man who broke the tape would take the money. 'Yes, the ono who breaks that tape gets all the coin,' said Amos. Charley Farrell sent thorn away and Amos shot In the lead and held It to tho finish, but he didn't break tho tape. Dad had a chunk of lead palmed, and when ho was about thirty feet. from tho finish ho hurled the lead at tho string. It was a case of gottlng It over the plate, for the mlssllo broke the tape, whllo Amos was fifteen feet off." EASTERN LEAGUE. About the only consolation Scranton derives from the result of yesterday's games was the defeat of Buffalo by Toronto, as Syracuse and Springfield won and are practically bunched with the Miners in second place, though only Syracuse and Scranton are second ac cording to the percentage figures. Buf falo IS not so far ahead as to be cock sure of a longlease on first position. Tho standing of 'the four leaders makes this year's penant scramble decidedly lively and uncertain. The four eastern clubs begin a 12 game battle with tho westerners this afternoon. Springfield plays first at Syracuse and that should be to Scran ton's advantage as one of them Is sure to be crowded down a peg. While the four first division clubs are settling their differences, the four trnllers, Providence, Rochester, Wllkes-Barre nnd Toronto will be fighting to keep away from the tall end. Results.

Trying to acquire the art of climb ing hills Is what Is troubling- a good many novices at this season. That there Is an art In so doing there Is little doubt, but practice and muscle will do a great deal for the learner, much more than a few suggestions. If the follow ing is kept In mind It will aid the rider to catch tho knack of hill climbing. Little is gained by trying to rush a hill. It is will to get a good start, but It Is better to so lay out the push that there will be a. reserve force to f.end the wheel over the last rise, which Is always the hardest. A good ankle motion, clawing the pedals around, past nnd over the dead center Is a decided help. Throw the weight of the body well forward nnd pull up slightly on the rnndle bars. If the grade Is very shaip try zigzagging, or weaving, up the 1.111; frequently this will give a nfcdcd rest on a long hill. Try to keep an even pace; avoid sudden strains. Last, but not least, sit square ly in the saddle. , "Abuse of oil Is an error," says an old cyclist; which probably nine cy clists out of ten fall Into. In a bicycle bearing a single drop of oil will go a great way toward forming the film between Journal, balls and box neces sary to keep the surface of these parts from coming Into wearing contact. Ordinarily, the cyclist pumps his bear ings full of oil, which runs out, covers the outside of the boxes and acts as a medium for the accumulation of dust." Bicycles are very much like other mechanical things; when rightly used, they are very faithful servants, oth erwise they are likely to go to rack nnd ruin. Wheel people are always talk ing about luck. So-an-so is a lucky rider; he never has a puncture, and his wheel Is always right. Yet his rid ing mate has a hole In his tire every other day, and hardly a week goes by when he does not lose a spoke or two. The difference Is all In the careful ness of the two. A good wheel not misused Is strong; If wrongly ridden no wheel can be depended upon. A watchful eye for sharp stones and broken glass, a horror of taking chances which may result in a trip to the repair shop, close attention to the tightness of nuts and pedals, make all tho difference. In the world between good luck and bad luck. In the matter of footwear It Is evi dent that the average cyclist pays too little attention to his best interest. Last season thousands of riders pushed over the highways of the country with feet Incased in the modish pointed-toed shoes which fashion dictated for ordin ary street wear. However it may be for walking, nothing worse than the pointed shoe could be chosn for bi cycling. The requirements of a perfect shoe for cycling are a substantial sole, plpnty of room for the toes and lacing carried well down, to Insure case and a fit sufficiently close over the lower Instep to counteract the natural tend ency of the foot to work forward with the rider's downward thrusts on the pedal. No investment pays such high In terest as the money paid for a bicycle. The average rider, according to a new devotee, saves twenty cents a day In car fare, say five days a week for fifty weeks In tho year, or a saving of $50; and If he owns a hlghgrade wheel he will have nothing to pay for repairs, thus obtaining a return of 50 per cent, upon his original Investment. Should he wish to obtain a new mount he can, If he has been careful of his wheel, sell It for half the price, which, with the J50 he "has earned In car farces alone, will give him his year's riding for nothing. This Is exclusive of doctors' bills, or the various little expenses that go out for medicines during the year, railroad fares usually expended for short pleasure trips and like ex penditures. In tho selection of repair kits, tho customer is this year given a wider scope than ever before, and very uni que ones have appeared, many of so handsome design that they tempt the eye of even those who are not wheel people. The tools themselves are in nearly all Instances now fitted Into a leather case, which does away with the rattling that has so long been an nnnqyjTice. On the outside of the kit itself my lady of means places a neat strip of silver, bearing her name and address. Thero is a new style of underwear being brought forward, which In Its union type, Is sure to prove popular with cyclists. There are no buttons or tapes except at Ihe neck, where each side opens sufficiently to admit of be ing drawn on In this manner. This does away with endless Irritants In the shape of buttons to hurt at inop portune moments, to say nothing of forever coming off. "The spoke manufacturers," says a trade man, "are not a bit backward in admitting that bicycle makers are un necessarily desirous of procuring a wire which will show a tensile strength far In excess of that to which a spoke Is I ever subjected In actual use. It Is common to find many superintendents giving specifications for spokes which will break at about 1,200 pounds. The spoke makers say that a spoke which will resist a tensile strain ot 800 pounds is sufficiently strong for all practical purposes In bicycle building. Still, pre ferring to be on the safe side, the ma jority of makers of high-grade bicycles Insist upon spoking their wheels with stock which has a tensile strength far In excess of that actually needed. Thcro Is nothing makes a greater change in one's appearance than a bl cyclo suit. To sit at the table at a country hotel and watch tho riders come in, one wouldi hardly bo ablo to figure out that there sits a judge, thero a banker and over there a minis ter. With the change of clothing they seem to have dropped much of their austerity or other marked manners, and aro more. as other people. Washing in the same basin and wiping on tho same towel Just outside the door seems to have made them' all akin, and they are full of pleasant talk that they can not restrain. Recollections of all kinds como up first of their boyhood days, finally drifting off to talcs of the var ious trips they have taken. Many of these cover wide ranges of territory, and include hunting and fishing ex peditions, which are positively fascinat ing. Then they all fly off to foreign travel, and tell of scenes visited never to bo guessed ot by their present travel-stained dress. Their conversation alone tells who they arc, or perhaps some curious piece of Jewelry, which stamps them ns out of the ordinary. Additional Sporting News will be found on Pngo 3. CHEYENNE TROUBLES. A Report Tbat the Sioux Have Been Io vilcd to Join the HostllcsSet- tiers Ask Protection. Helena, Mont., June 1. Specials from Miles City, the nearest town In Mon tana, to the Cheyenne Indian troubles, say tho situation at the agency con tinues critical. Families who resided near the seat of the trouble continue to flock to Miles City. It Is reported that Sioux Indians from Dakota h'ave come to the agency, nnd that runners have been sent to Invite more of them to Join the Cheyennes on the warpath. Senator Carter will ask President Me Klnley to have Indian Agent Stouch instructed not to interfere with tho sheriffs and that the military authori ties be ordered to support the sheriff In case the Cheyennes resist the arrest of the Ifldlan, "Little Whirlwind," known also as Stanley, a graduate of Carlisle, who admits the murder of Hoover, the Bheep herder. Sheriff Qlbb and Deputies Smith and Winters should arrive among the Chey ennes today with warrants for tho three Indians and the agent, which they will attempt to serve. White Bull's band of warriors numbering 125, who eseayetl from the agency Friday night, are In the hills on the Tongue river, near Ashland, and this will be tho scene of the first bloodshed should there be any. The settlers are not as well armed as the Indians, though arms and ammu nition are being forwarded as rapidly cs possible. Washington, June 1.
