The owners of tho Scranton base ball
club ridicule the story telegraphed
fjom Syracuse to tho effect that Scrun
on and WilkesiUarrc are to bo thrown
"out of. the league In favor of Roches
ter .and Jersey City. They say tho
league directors have no legal nor
league rights lo. contemplate, much less
attempt, the "execution of such a plan.
vVhllo the owners nie uncertain as to
next year's cranton plans, tho men
wfiose money; la Invested In the club
'arc astute and experienced business
jrien nnd would furnish some lively
-entertainment for President Towers,
frjvln nnd ituntzsch, the ringleaders
hi tho funny "business.,
'A sample Syracuse story Is the fol
lowing, which was telegraphed from
rhnt city and' appeared yesterday In
tho AVllkes-Darre Hecord:
It transpires, that the alleged meeting
dt the Kasteni league Stelncrt Cup com
hilttce In this city on Wednesday evening
Was simply a bjjml to cover up what np
ljears to be a conspiracy, llllly Lush was
hero to reprtisent Toronto ostensibly
wlrfle It was supposed Arlliur Irwin was
not present, but In reality he was In Sy-.
racuso closoted with Franklin, of nuffalo;
Kuntzseh, of tr.ls city, and President
l'owcrs. It was mutually agreed between
JWilifi Wg four thnit Wilkes-llarro and
Scranton were1 to be thrown out of the
league circuit for l&DS and Jersey City and
Rochester taken In as their successors.
This conclusion was asreed to beyond all
question ami George Kuntzseh corrobor
ated tho story this morning.
It Is known tha't Powers Instructed each
one of tho big four to remain close
mouthed about the schemo but Kuntzseh
wa questioned by Interested parties this
afternoon and they Intimated that such
was the expectod movement at the next
meeting of tho league. Syracuse newspa
per men are uosted on these developments
and do not ihesltate to characterize It as
an unfair and unparliamentary proceed
ing. Wllkes-Ilarrc and Scranton, they say,
liavo met every obligation and continued
In tho circuit under the most discourag
ing circumstances and do not deservo
nuch treatment. They also Etato that tho
'Eastern leaguo law and constitution will
not permit of any such high handed ac
tion, while tho courts should unquestion
ably enjoin tho leaguo from taking any
such steps upon petition of Scranton or
Wllkes-Iiarre. Jersey City Is considered
n. less desirable team than either of tho
members of tho anthracite regions while
Ilochester is regarded as a sure winner
with Sunday ball.
Concerning next year's prospects of a
base ball team, no conclusion will bo
reached by tho owners for several days,
but If they do drop their league fran
chise and lntsrests it will bo in part
at their own terms and inclination and
not at the dictation of tho league. The
financial business of tho present sea
son will be concluded during the next
few days and after conferences with
Manager Grlflln, who last night reached
here from Providence with some of the
players.
ONE DETERMINED FACT.
One fact Is fully determined: Neither
Mr. Parke, the president, nor Mr. Shep
herd, of the Scranton board of direct
ors, will be identltl?a with base ball
here next season. Their withdrawal
will make It probable that, If continued,
the Scranton club will play Sunday
games next year, whether the Brooks
brothers and Mr. Simpson are Identified
with the ownership or not, as It was
only through tho wishes of Mr. Parke
and Mr. Shepherd that tho club has
played no Sunday ball in the past.
These two gentlemen began their base
hall experience with the distinct un
derstanding and agreement that no
Sunday games were to be played while
they were Interested in the club.
It has cost tho club nearly ?3,CO0 not
to play Sunday ball, as that sum very
nearly represents what Scranton's
share of the proceed') would have been.
If such a large amount had not slipped
away from the club treasury and If the
tcruples of the two directors had not
been such as they are, there might
now be no thought of disposing of the
franchise or changing ownership. Fi
nancial loss Is the only reason for the
present condition of things. Tho own
ers, while not anxious to make money
out of their venture, did not anticipate
me iubs ui u. uurrei 01 money, i'ernaps
they didn't lose a uanvl of It, but it
would take quite a tidy sum to reim
burse them for the actual loss.
The thunklessness of the base ball
business and tho lack of Integrity pos
sessed by th majority of the men In
terested In the clubs, Is shown In the
alleged present movement to fire Scran
ton bodily out of the league. Fortu
nately It Isn't possible to do that, but
what a sweet and beautiful net of hon
or that would be in vlsw of the Scran
ton owners' pluck as contrasted with'
tlmt of ,the quailing Rochester big thro
who, as soon as tho first signs of
trouble overtook them, thrcw their
franchise Into Montreal and are now
pulling wires to sacrifice Scranton. Rut
Scranton won't be eactifh;edi if the
local owners drop out of tho business,
it will bo done in a businesslike way.
- MR. FOWLER'S PLAN.
.Charles Fowler, of tho board of city
assessors, and a few kindred spirits
Would Jlke to see the Scranton franchise
o.wndd by a stock company. They
have secured the sanction of the pres
ent owners to an effort to secure a
hundred .subscriptions for stock at $30
per sharo with a prospect of gaining
control. of the franchise. The owners
Have rt6t bound themselves to sell, but
gava their approval to the preliminary
plan of Mr. Fowler and his friends In
anticipation of a possible change In
ownership. There Is an understanding
that Mr, nrooks and Mr. Simpson would
assume quite a holding of stock in caso
tho Towlcr plan matured.
At nil events there will be no deflnlto
arIon taken until tho affairs of tho as
sociation for the present season nra
ieUletl. " '

BASE BALL POPULAR
OVER IN ENGLAND
Britishers Arc Learning to Play the
American Pastime.
GAME IS GAINING A FOOTHOLD
Professional Clubs Arc Able to Pay
Expenses nnd They lMny Under
Nntlonnl Lcnguo HuIos--I)lllicult
to Wcnn nn Englishman from Cricket
but Ilnso Rail Is Eluding n Plnco In
English Sport.
A. O. Spalding, tho well-known base
ball magnate, who has Just returned
ftom a trip to England, says that ho
was more than Impressed with the In
terest that Is now being taken In base
ball In Great Britain, nnd for tho first
time since Its Introduction there it hus
a promising outlook.
When tho American came of base
ball was Introduced In England It was
utterly Impossible to make expenses,
nnd the clubs for years were carried on
at a loss. Now the canio has a very
strong hold throughout tho Midlands
nnd the North of England. The Derby
club, for the first time since It was
organlzsd, has this year paid all its
expenses nnd can now be considered a
paying venture. This Is indeed gratify
ing to those who helped build up the
game In England.
While Mr. Spalding was In England,
the final game for the possession of
tho championship cup was played, tho
Derby club winning, thereby becom
ing possesors of the trophy for 1S07.
While they have their own associa
tion In England, they play under the
rubs of tho National league, and fol
low our regulations in every respect
minutely.
MANY YEARS AGO.
Mr. Spalding states that, of course,
he was interested personally in the de
velopment of base ball In England. Ills
first connection with the game In that
country dates back to 1871, when he ar
ranged a trip for the Boston and
Philadelphia Athletics. On this trip
base ball and cricket was played by
the team very successfully, In fact,
Mr. Spalding oven laughs now ivhen he
ti lis about having played cricket while
the team was In England as base ball
players, and succeeded In boating some
very strong cricket teams. Whlla con
sldetable Interest was manifested in
the game nt that time inoro out of
curiosity than anything else the good
work then accomplished is now bearing
results.
The second Invasion of England by
Am ;rlcan ball players, occurred In 1SS9,
when Mr. Spalding's "Round the
World" teams played throughout Eng
land and created a deal of enthusiasm.
After this trip, which was successful
In every particular, a team of college
playeis visited England In the sumnvr
of 1SS9 end played several important
games. After these trips, a, number of
rromlnent English gentlemen, became
Interested In tho sport.
One of tho most ardent admirers of
American base ball Is Francis Lev, of
Derby, who has been interested in the
game sdncf ISil). He has gone to con
siderable expense In fitting up grounds
nnd paying expenses, nn 1 Is considered
today the head and front of base ball
in Grat Erltaln. He has never lost
any of his Interest or enthusiasm, and
he says the time will come when base
ball will be a naying institution if
rroperly handled and will be ns popular
In England ns It Is In America. His
efforts have certainly been centralized
toward ptoeuring n good team for- tho
Derby club, and ho finally succeeded In
winning the championship cup, which
was presented by A. G. Spalding for
the championship of Great Britain and
has been competed for since 1SS9.
While In England, Mr. Spalding met
Dr. W. H. Wrny, of th Crystal Palaco
club. Dr. Wray, who Is an enthusias
tic follower of the game, has made a
careful study of the rules and umpires
most of the games that are played
there, and Is In every particular a
"ciank."
It se'ins to be a hard thing to mako
any other game than cricket popular In
England. Mr. Spalding, however, Is
firmly convinced of the merits of base
ball, and feels confident that It will
make for Itself a place among English
sports. To his way of thinking, after
having made a car.ful survey of the
Held when abroad, the time Is not far
distant when an International base
ball match will be playtd between Eng
land and America. When that time ar
rives, Mr. Spalding belln-cs that base
ball matches between these countries
will outrival any other international
contests over held, be It athletics, yacht
races or crlelsH matches. In the sports
Just enumerated they attract but cer
tain classjs, whereas, baso ball ap
peals to the masses.
Mr. Spalding wis quite (unused at the
way the newsoaprs handled the game
In England, although they do not glvo
It tho s-anie space we do here. They
nevertheless .pay some intention to it,
but In n very mid way. The scores
are not printed In full, only by Innings.
They ars, however, adapting many of
tho slang phrases that are so popular
with the baso ball cranks of this coun
try. AN UNUSUAL SCORE.
Pour English Cricketers Retired
Without n Run ut Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Sept. 24. Tho final fif
teen minutes' play today In the Inter
national cricket match between tho
Philadelphia nnd English teums wni
sensational In the extreme, the four
tatsmen for the Englishmen being re
tired without scoring a run. This Is
the first of two three-day matches to
be played between a picked team of
Phlladelphlans and Captain Warner's
team of English amateurs. Nearly all
the men on tho local team were mem
bers of the Philadelphia team, which
made a cricket tour through England
this summer.
The Phlladelphlans went first to bat
und In their inning scored 212 runs.
The English team then started theit
inning and four of their wickets wern
lorl In fifteen minutes without obtain
ing a single tally. Captain Warner
then made the point that It was to'i
oark to conllnuo play and the um
pired ordered stumps to be drawn. Tho
loss of four wickets for no runs i
probably without precedent in a match
between high-class teams.
The day was dull, cloudy and damp
nnd the attendance numbered only
about BOO persons. The local batsmen
made an excellent stand against tho
fns.- left hand bowling of Stocks, tie
big breaking of Hull and tho Mow.
straight onea of Jessop. Tho lUldlnc
of the visitors was also good, although
Tonge mnde a wretishcd muff of a lit
tle raised ball oft Crcgar's bat. The
batting of Lester was especially fine,
ho playing a careful, steady inning
for soventy-thrce without giving a
chnnce until he was finally caught on
a cut to Longoff. Ills Inning Included
nine boundary hits for four each and
nine doubles.
The Englishmen went in for their
Inning at 4.40 p. m., and Chlnnery was
caught in tho first over at short slip
by E. W. Clark off King. A moment
Inter Warner lost his wicket In precise
ly the same manner, except from tho
positions of the fielder and bowler were
reversed. King, who achieved consid
erable fame during the tour through
England, then clean bowled both Mar
riott and Stocks In one over, Marriott
on the second bnll and 'Stocks on tho
fourth ball. Stumps were then drawn.
P.n; will be resumed tomorrow morning.

The greatest boxing card offered tho
Scranton sporting public In recent
years will be the McAullffe-Ryan ten
round argument in Music hall next
Thursday night. The audience on that
occasion will be privileged to witness
a present champion battling for a de
cision. To speak of McAuliffe as n cham
pion Is to speak the truth. He Is tho
lightweight champion of the world,
has never been defeated since he won
the title and his honor is not disput
ed, something that Is quite unusual
In pugilistic matters. He Is training
nt Coney Island for tho event, and
Ryan is getting In condition at Col
lego Point. They will meet at catch
welchts. LOCAL RINQ NOTES.

The Tribune has caused much of the de
crease through its free "Situations Wanted" ad
vertisements. A man, woman, boy or girl, who is
out of work cannot, as a rule, afford to pay to ad
vertise, but a corporation, person or firm employ
ing others to work for them can and should pay
for such advertisements, Therefore The Tribune
publishes "Situations Wanted" free of charge, and
all other "Want Ads" at the reasonable rate of
One Cent a Word in Advance.
Tribune "Wants" bring quick returns, and
are the cheapest in the city when results are ta
ken in consideration. Try One. You'll Be
Convinced.
