Sandy Orlllln managoi' nf that child
or variegated foi tunc, the Scranton
base ball (itib, was holding a contin
uous loveo at tho St. Chailes hotel
: esteulay. Ho appealed not at all
dish-ai toned over the multitude of iu
moi'H of what vi as to liecome of the
club; he wan as affable, as hopeful and
as natty as ever.
Late last night a story e amo over
Iho wiles Iroin Syracuse' to tho effect
that the Scranton club was going to
disband, nnd Hint thf mnjoilty of the
playcis weie to be sold to "Deacon"
Kills for tho Detiolt club. It was Kills
who sold the NewniK franchise to Tom
I urr.s, of Haitford This deal. It was
'inclerslood. was of the up-vour-sleeve
vailoty, and would later on b a pait
of fome englnoeilng to secuie the
Scranton finnchlse and plnveis and
ill op the whole shebang Into Xewnik,
v hlch would be made a part of the
Kfit-lt in league and palled with
Wllhes-Uaue.
The only truth In the stoty fiom
S-. iiicusp Is that Kills has wiltten tho
''ci -niton association asking llrst t all
If the club In disbanded. The leply
wil', in all piobablllty. tally with ln
formclion possessed by tho Tilbun0-,
that til' club will not be disbanded, nor
sola for a song, nor sold at a, price
below that fled by the nwneis un
le.s.s the btiyois aie Scianton people.
In which case a difference of a few
l.ut.ureil doUiim would not make tho
ownois foigct thcli lovnlty to their
o ii city.
PH1CK MADK KXOWX.
At the Kastern lougue meeting the
pilce rsked for the Scianton fiunclil
vv.if, made known. An offer to pur
chase was made, appaiently in the In
tel e-' of Newark, and was piomptly
c'ecllntcl. Tho offer was only hnlf as
much as the mice asked. No other

Yesterday Manager Oilflln met Mr.

The piesent ownei aie not willing

sured by men of this qualltv that they
would subscribe. These assurances
would almost cover 100 sliaies of stock
at J.lfl a -Jhaie
If thl.- moinlng's confeieme bitween
Manager .aiiflln and Mr. Fowl-r Is fa
v oi able, the latter will be given an
option en the franchise, and will pro
ceed to at once form the stock com
pany. Tnat wus the situation last
night.
"Theie aie many clicumstances."
said Manager Orlflm last night, "which
make me believe that tho club will lie
continued In this cltj, but befoio
speakinr, in detail about that I want
to sav a word about the past of the
piesent association. The men who
compose It assumed contiol of tho club
with the put pose of making it a .suc
cess accotdlng to their own Ideas or to
abandon the enteipii.-e. It has been
a falluio financially, but only In that
paitlcular. Spectators have seen good
ball and clean ball, they have had the
best of paik laullltles and attention.
The owners did not poiinlt Sunday
playing nor would they dispose of good
plaeis and get poor ones In older to
lessen their losses. They lost heavily
and aie going to quit and I don't see
how tliev can be ciltklzed.
hi: HAS CONFIDKNCK.
"I mav be mistaken, but I bellevo
Scianton contains sevetal hundred
leputable men who are gieat udmliors
ot tho sport und who icallze that an
Kastern league club In this ity not
only gives them a cheao, lesper table
and hlgh-clas3 summer amusement, but
alse adveitlses the city On this lat
ter point 1 laigely base my opinion that
theie ate enough thougnttul and liberal-minded
men In Scianton to keep
tho game going. Wllkos-Haire does it
and has done It for years and piob
ably will for eais to come, and In this
one particular of pride that city ex
cels Scranton. In saving this, I don't
think anv one will tuko exception to
tho comment.
"Times aie better now and will be
better yet according to indications.
People will have mine pin-money In
189S und will, I think, be willing to at
tend games here moie frequently than
dining the season just closed, Sun
day Raines away fiom home would put
Into the dub's tieasuiy $3,000, a sum
which was a dead loss In 1S97
"I hnve mentioned only a few iea
sons which make me feel sanguine that
tho prospects aie blight for a con
tinuance of the Scianton club. Theie
aie other leasons which aie appaient
to Individuals"
Manager CJiIflln lemaiked that the
piesent playeis contained moie than
enough Hading mnteiial to secuie a
few new faces, some faster men and
a stronger makeup. This i ould bo done
without expense, In fait, the pay t oil
