' Powrtl' lifrnself has retired f rom J)lg Toatlon on the, team, and will devote himself exclusively to his du- tlfes ns manager. Shnrrolt goes on tho bench.

'Mr. Powell said to a . representative that he believes tho "Barons" would play better ball from this time on. lie denied the report sent out from Hamilton, Ont., to tho effect that Wllkes-Barre was to glvo up Its franchise In favor of tho Cana dian city." This Is tho beginning of the end of tho pipe story about tho transfer of the Wllkes-Barre franchise: Syracuse, N. Y June 9. Manager Atr ner B. Powell, of tho Wllkes-Barro Uaso ball team, today denied the report that the francMso of his club Is to be trans fered to Hamilton, Ont. Ho said that AVIlkes-Basro would last oat, tfto season. The only Inference to be drawn from the foregoing la th!at the hard luck of the Barons suggested to the Hamilton people the possibility of a franchise bargain and that th'ey were encouraged by the Toronto management to nego tiate. It would bo a very nlco thing to pcrltr Toronto and Hamilton. At present each Is represented In the Can adian league, a very minor organiza tion, Tmt with the two In a leaguo like tte Eastern, local rivalry would be a financial help ae Is tho caso with Scranton and Wllkes-Barre. Scranton cannot afford to lose extra patroiVago on hoKUays and other days that now comes because of the present pairing with Vftllkes-Barre and the Scranton owners would no doubt oppose any Hamilton, deal. Any fuss this season over the .matter seems very remote, however. A pdjicy of Interference and per nlclousn'ess la In a large measure ac countable for the slide of the Wllkes Barre team. It began the season with about the same prospects as several other clubs, but where the owners of the other clubs have given their mana gers nearly a carte blanche to do as the latter pleased In nhake-up3 and changes. Manager Powell Is bound down to tho absolute dictation of President Boges-t and a few of the men who are accustomed to sit in the di rectors box and dictate how the game should not be played. To the Tribune's knowledge, and upon the best of Wllkes Barre authority. President Bogert has vetoed every movc-isuggestcd by Powell and which Involved even a slight out lay of money. Thel result Is seen In the club's position in the race. Bogert Is beginning to see the error of his ways and Is becoming a .little more liberal. That was a disgraceful Incident at Syracuse when a spectator threw a cushion at Umpire Keefe and hit the latter In the face, ft is to the credit of the Syracuse manasement that a dili gent though unsuccessful hunt was made for the anarchist who was guilty of the act. It Is just such savage dis plays of brutality and coarseness which check a liberal patronage of the game by1 ladles and the more respectable elements. To Scranton's praise there Is an own ers' pojlcy which would result not only in expulsion from the grounds, but the arrest of a person guilty of such an offense, as that perpetrated at Syra cuse, or of a spectator who so far for gets himself as to belch forth a string of profane remarks. Scranton's Ath letic Park Is no stamping ground for a pack of profane curs and disreputables. The Stars and Grays resorted to some dirty ball playing on Monday. Tues day's Syracuse Courier Is fair enough to relate the circumstances ns follows: "Dirty ball playing doesn't win games very, often. The Stars started tho nasty work in the eighth Inning yester day afternoon when tho score was six to three agaln&t them and at the end It remained unchanged. Not a rooter who takes any healthy Interest In the game legretted the result. "The child's play commenced after three 'Providence players had been re tired in the eighth. While Bassett was at bat Welgand started to steal second and Hyan throw htm out to Schelbeck. Lampe cot the ball and threw It to Bannon. ' Remember that the side was retired. BannOn threw the ball to Darry. By this time the Providence men were going out nnd saw darry as he threw the ball over the fence. Tho act was discovered at once. A blind organ grinder could have seen It and of course there was a justifiable kick. Bannon meantime had thrown the new ball In h'ls possession to Cooney, The dea was to get a new ball into play to bother the Providence pitcher and aid the Stars In batting, "Keefo was Immediately the centre of a howling mob. A mob It was for the first thing Cooney did was to throw another bH over tho fence out Into the street. Tim had another ball In his pocket and he handed It to Hodson, but Instead of going into the box that fresh little Clameater followed Cooney's example and threw the sphere over the grand stand. ""Two new balls were put Into play, Hodson before going Into tho box picked up a handful of mud which on u protest ho dropped; but a second af terwards placed the ball on the ground, rubbed It around and finished by splk ink,.lt. Tim ball was taken out by Ketfe and another white one sen! to the Fresh One. Ho did the act over morld of again, seemingly under Instructions from Murray. Keefe ordered him to the Jbenchjnnd Braun, the scrapper, was'put" n.: -The game went on after Keefe .had been compelled to hold tho watch on the red faced pitcher, who persisted In- practicing with the in lleldcrs." Regnrdlng signals, Olllo Beard holds an opinion similar to that of Patsy Tebeau, Anson, Robinson and Duffy. It Is that tho fewer the signals tho bet ter. He savs: "Players should be taugh to play 'the game Instinc tively. I don't care whether they are raw nnd unexperienced players or men who have learned the rudiments of the game. It Is necessary, of course, to have battery signs and for the bats man to tip the base runner as to the former's Intentions with tho stick. This Is necessary, but too much signal ing and theoretical playing Is confusing and In most cases very (lat ns far as results are concerned. Many a seem ing weakness crops out through too much signaling and this the spectator doesn't understand because, as a rule, he don't study this department of the game. Scranton Is playing with ns few signals as Is any club In tho league, but those We do use are necessary. We have become accustomed to playing Instinctively nnd as a team and you will see mighty few errors of Judgment by tho Miners. Now Washington releases First Base man Cartwrlght to Toronto. McGann will play his regular position nt second, for where he was signed by Boston last year, and Lush will go Into the out field. And Irwin will continue to orate that Toronto Is not a senatorial farm! DIAMOND DUST. .Lucky Bisons. Springfield lost, but It would havo suited the Miners If tho Ponies had won. With Beard, Boyd, Daly, Harper, Dillon, nnd O'Brien, all ex-Rochester players, on the team, it ought to draw well In Ito chester. Barl Wagner has .a pet superstition that if his club scores in the tlrst Inning it will loso the game. In seven of tho eleven games lost on tho western trip tho Sena tors scored In tho lrst Inning. Two games will probably bo played at Rochester today. Wellner and Boyd, and Morso and Gunson are duo to be In the points, which makes It an even chance that tho clubs will split oven. It would not bo surprising If tho Minors captured both. Barnlc's men showed a slight Improve ment last week, increasing their uver ages In both departments of the game four points In batting and one In iieldtng. Their opponents also gained one point In Melding, but fell back ten points at tho bat. IlofCcr and Pond, of tho Ualtlmoro team, are not doing the good work they did hist season. Ccrrbett and tho left hander, Nops, nro doing tho Lest work for Hanlon'8 men, and they aro more than likely to lie down before the season is half over. Even three-time champions may havo their troubles. The 6oranton Trlbure is responsible for the statement that President Uogeit, of Wllkes-Barre, refused to give out rain checks or to glvo ProWdenco the guaran tee In that four-Inning game at Wllkes Barre recently. That is a pretty cold deal nil around. If no guaranteo was paid, rain checks shold havo been given out and vice verta according to tho league rules. Tho amo thing happened in one of the Syracuso games hero und Syracuse got her guarantee. Springfield Union. Manager Powell, of the Wllkes-llarrc club, was tho source of not a little amuse ment at Buffalo on Tueday. Tho liulfalo Express sayoof the Incident: "Both teams went on .tho Held, but It was found that tho territory about tho pitcher's box and that about tho home-plato was too soft and rnuddy for pjay. This was a facer for Manager Powell, of tho visiting club, who wanted tho guarantee money with which to buy tickets' to Syracuso. Hut he was not long downcast as a bright idea struck him. Bo recoiled a practice quite common In some places and suggested that huge bonfires bo built In each of tho water-soaked spots. Ground-keeper Mur phy brought great plies of kindling and soon two hot Jlres wero bdazlng. They might have accomplished what it was in tended they should had not tho rain ccmo down In great sheets and almost drowned the flames which spluttered and hissed with the unwelcome bath. Manager Pow ell then admitted that tho elemnts were not propitious for a gamo and, bundling his players Into tho 'bus, returned with them to tho hotel." EASTERN LEAGUE. A general rain which extended throughout the Eastern leaguo circuit yesterday prevented all buttheBuffnlo Springfleld game, The Ponies were de feated, but have not such a low per centage but that they can pass tho Miners today if the latter lose and the Ponies win.

Tho Infor mation will undoubtedly provo of Inter est to a pood many readers. She says: "Tho revolution that a wheel makes In a household Is remarkable. A man to be truly happy should havo the woman of the house also a. cyclist; then will his short comings bo overlooked, provided they may be connected with wheeling. Ho may leave his bicycle In the front hall, may bo Jtito to meals, may get breakfast at un earthly hours In the morning and can come home late at night and have free swing In tho sitting room to repair his punotured tire. A wheelwoman Is the best sympathizer In tho world; then she Is so obliging when she wants anything mended or adjusted abotu her wheel. Considering the amount or vigorous language Indulged In by tho men when cleaning their bicycles. It Is not to bo wondered at that women seldom dream of taking such a Job. As a matter of fact, tho work Is not nearly so difficult or dirty as It Is made out to be. Women who are chary of other fingers than their own toy. Ing with their bicycles and prefer rather to rub them down and oil them them selves need not necessarily ilnd the task uncleanly, If they ta'ke tho simple precau tion to wear glovea whllo applying ell. A bicycle, to be kept In good condition, should be cleaned every time atter ute, otherwise dust and grit are apt to sift into the bearings and wenr them down. Tho plated part must never bo neglected that they begin to rust, nor must mud be allowed to cake on the enamel, for In re moving It you will surely leave a few scratches. Beware of a superfluity of oil. A well kept blcyclo needs to bo oiled only at tho end of every 100 miles. A faint squeak will generally telt you when an oiling la necessary. Any woman who starts In to become a cyclist should carefully study just what amount of cycling will do her good, and should thPn study the vehicle out of which she expects to get this good. If she thorougnly understands the mechan. Ism of her bicycle she will get twice tho amount of pleasure from It. Tho llrst thing to be'consldered Is the learning to ride, Some women are puzzled as to whether they should go to a regular bi cycle school for their Instructions. An experienced woman rider says on this subject: "I should advise every one to go to a school and learn how to ride be fore purchasing a wheel. While learning to ride they will learn something about wheels and what kind of wheel and equip ment wia suit them beat. Tho number of lesions Is a great question with beginners. I have heard women say that they learned In two or three lessons. Some even aay they rodo right oft the first time they tried, but I have never yet seen any wo man Tide a wheI the first time she tried, or even after six or a dozen lessons ride fairly well ' MAHER-SHARKEYMILL STOPPED BY POLICE Mabcr Fights Savagely After tbe (long Sounded In tbc Seventh. DECLARED A DRAW BY REFEREE Shnrkoy Ilnd Peter In tho Itopct nnd Drew First Rlood in tho Slxth.-In the Sovcnlli iHnlier Smashed tho Sailor .linn Into tho Ropcs-.Potcr Wn Uppcrcuttliig When tho Gong Rnngnnd the Ilnttle Ended in Ar rests All Around. New York, June 9. When the doors of the Palace Athletic club where the Sharkey-Maher fight was to cotjie oft were opened at 7 o'clock, Lexington avenuo was crowded with a Burglng mass of people, each one endeavoring to get to the lyx office first, and tho corridor at tho entrance was Jammed. Police Inspector McLaughlin and Cap tain Creedon, with a large force of bluecoata as well as a big force of PBTBR MAHEIt, "The Galway Apollo." Central offlce detectives in civilian dress soon made the people form In line, and the ticket sellers were- kept busy attending to men who threw their money at them In a reckless manner. The (valine capacity of the house is estimated nt S.000 but the aisles and every inch of standing room was crowded to suffocation. Large delega tions from the principal cities east of Chicago were on hand, nnd It would be easier to name the prominent sport ing men who were absent than to enumerate those who were about the arena. The betting on tho big event was lively and Maher was a pronounced favorite. Odds of 100 to 80 and 100 to 75 were bet on Peter's chances, and some of those who were confident of the big fellow's ability to defeat the sailor laid odds of 100 to GO. THREE NOTABLES. John L, Sullivan, Jim Corbett and Kid McCoy occupied box seats at tho ring side, and each of them got a rousing reception when he made his appearance. At 9.20 o'clock Charley Roden, of Jer sey City and Bob Quade, of this city entered tho ring to take part In the preliminary contest. They were billed for 10 rounds ut 103 pound. Charley White refereed this bout, and Steve O'DonnclI, of this city, who is an old time master of ceremonies, held tho watch. Both boys were over the weight and Roden was easily 10 pounds heavier than Quade. In the- third round Quade rained blow after blow on the Jersey boy and had lilm so weak ened (hat Referee White stopped tho bout and declared Quade the winner. Time of round 2.15. Th? fast boxing In the preliminary paved the way for th'e big fellows and io.OOO eyes were strained for beveral mlnuts to catch a glimpse of the first of the principals to make his appear ance. BETTING WAS LIVELY. Betting on the result continued to bo lively and several wagers were mndo at even money that M'aher would vln In ten rounds. Kid McCoy tock the Sharkpy end of this ioe J1.000. He also placed $1,000 on Sharkey to win at odds ranging from $1C0 to $50 to ?100 to $i0. PJhy Grannaro bet $2,000 against f 1,400 on Maher and Pittsburg Phil had coni'nlsslonsrs placing his money on JUaber at $100 to $70. It la estimated that he had over 510,000 on th't big fellow. Spike. Sullivan was al so a Maher man, and he put up $2,500 THOMAS SHARKEY, "The Sailor Man." on his choice. Spike, when he fights h1 a great favorite of Peter, and when tho latter takes part In a ring contest Spike sticks to his colleague in like manner. Sharkey entered the ring at 10 min utes past 10 o'clock. He was accom panied by Joe Choynskl, Tim McGrath, Torn' Lansing and Solly Smith. He chose the southeast corner which was tho one In which tho winner of tho first bout had sat. Ho was warmly re ceived. The greeting Maher got was vocl ferlous. He took his corner at 10:14 and his seconds wero Buck Connelly, Pat Scully, Peter Lowry, Jack Qulnn und Jack Cattannach. "Pittsburg Phil" held the watch for Maher and Danny Lynch did the same for Shark ey. Both men said they weighed 173 pounds. Maher came into the ring wearing a black sweater and black trousers, while Sharkey was enveloped In a big yellow bath robe trimmed with blue. When stripped Maher wora black trunks with a green belt, and Sharkey green trunks with an Ameri can Hag for a.belt. Both men said they weighed 173 pounds. Billy Brady announced before the men stripped that tho agreement was that in case of police Interference If either man was In such a condition as not to have a chance to win in the opinion of the referee, the latter should give his decision In favor of tho other man but that If the referee saw that the man having the worst of the con test had a chance to win, then he was to declare the bout a draw. The men wero announced to box 25 rounds at catchwelghts. It was an nounced that they had agreed to break clean and that they could box with either hand free. THE FIGHT BEGINS. They shook hands at 12:2? wFr Round 1 Thoy sparred carefully for a minute, Sharkey holding his hands wide apart, Sharkey led for tho stomach and missed. Mfther landed a light left' oh the chest and Sharkey sent his lett on tho stomach and then swung his lett oil the chest. Sharkey triad a right swing, but was short. Ha tried a. swing again for the body, but fell hort once more. Sharkey, still on the aggressive, swung his right on tho neck and they clinched. Maher Jabbed his left In tho wind and swung his right on the neck at the end of the round. Round 2 After some pparrlng Mahor Jabbed hlH left on neck nnd Sharkey crossed his right on tho neck. Bharkey put a left swing high on Mailer's ormi Maher sent In a very low Jab but Sharkey stopped It with his glove. Tom Jabbed, a left in the wind and swung again with a loft on the chest.

Sharkey led" a left, fell short, and then touched Maher on the nose with a right swing. Peter feinted frequently and tried to draw S-harkay out. Then he Jfcbbed a left on tho head nd they exchanged left Jab on Cc face. Both men were careful, but Sharfcry left himself very open when ho stepped iack. Round 4 Sharkey swung his left on u shoulder and Jabbed the same list on trto stomach. Maher countered on tho head with his left. Then they exchanged right and left Bmashes on the face. After mUs Ing two rights, and lefts, Bharkey put a light left Jab on the face and they were sparring when the bell rang. Round 5 Peter fiddled a good deal and landed a lett Jab on tho mouth aiM Sharkey swung a right on the stomach and Maher crossed his left on the face. Just then Sharkey said: "Why don't you cut yourmoustache off' and Jabbed his cut your moustache oft" and Jabbed right nnd loft on the face. During this round there were cries of "fight," "light," which showed that some of those present did not like such tame boxing. Round C Thore, was a long spell of fid dling and dancing around. Sharkey tried to gat Maher Into a. neutral corner, Sharkey lod a left for the stomach and fell short. Mahc- Jabbed a left on the chest, and Sharkey swung a right on tho head. Peter t u left for the face, but fell short and ti&n Sharkey sent a straight right on the' mouth which put Maher down, and he fell half through tho ropes, whero ho remalred fully six seconds. Hlc mouth was bleeding when he got up and tho bell rang ten seconds later. SHARKER TO THE ROPES. Round 7 First blood for Sharkey in tho last round sent his stock up and Maker's face wore a worried look when he camo to tho scratch In this round. Peter fell short on a left lead for the face and Sharkey swung left and right on face and head. Sharkey swung right on ribs and Jabbed his left In the stomach. Maher cllnohed and they broke away clean. Maher rushed and put a right and a left swing on the face and thftyt oMnched.
