THE Atlantic league for 1900 is now
practically assured, and a letter
received Thursday by M. E.
Sanders, of tills city, from Presi
dent Horace Kogcl, state? that
all the teams are now In line with the
exception of Scranton. It Is expected
that all arrangements will he com
pleted by the middle of next week for
the formation of a Scranton club. A
meeting will be held this afternoon by
several prominent citizens Interested
In the game, and a final conclusion ar
rived at.
Prospects, however, are very bright
and the necessary $3,030 dollars re
quired as a fund to start the tam with
hns been nearly all secured. In Presi
dent Fogel's letter he states that ho
regrets Scranton's chances to secure
M. Finn, the well known manager, v ho
has been without a position for some
time, arc now gone, as he has secured
a placp. ,
Frank Thyne, of Lowell, Mass., Is,
however, a very experienced and com
petent manager, who Is without a pres
ent berth, and would be glad to corn's
to Scranton. He has under contract
twelve players and would transfer
them here. In case a finnchlse Is se
cured It Is very likely that either Mr.
Thyne or "Sandy" Griffin, Scranton's
former favorite Eastern league man
ager and outfielder, will ho at the
helm.
In all probability the league's cir
cuit will consist of Scranton and
Wllkes-Barre, Harrisburg and Bend
ing. Allentown and Nenvm k and Elmlra
nnd Binghamton, or perhaps Lancas
ter might be admitted, and Trenton
end Atlantic city also have claims.
The Allentown team Is nearly or
ganised already nnd consists o prac
tically last year's Atlantis league team,
The thrco Delahnnly boys being
signed, and several othrrs c,f the play
ers. Strikes and Spares.
MISS ROSE MUrtrtAY, of Toledo,
O., Js probably the leading wo
man bowler of the country. Two
hundred and thirty-six Is one of her
highest scores, nnd she bowls a uni
formly steady game.
The Elk Bowling team seems to be
steadily deteilorating. Formeily con
sidered one of tho strongest teams in
the state, since the opening of this
new bowling league Its record has been
a wretched one. Beaten by the Backus
team In one game by l!Cfi pins and In
another 'by 40 plus, inst Monday It
played the Bicycle club, and again bit
the dust, giving Its oponents Its ilrst
victory since the opening of the
league. Oddly enough, the only team
It has defeated so far Is thu strong
"West i:nd club of "Wilkes-Banc, which
was played February 3 on the Elk al
leys and soundly thr.islicd. In Us last
game played a new face was seen on
the team, Mitchell, onn of th'e stnr
players of the "pony" or second team,
making his debut as n member of tho
first team. He pluyed a strong game
and made the Elks' highest score, 17.".
The. games played In the lenguo so
far have not been characterized by
any particularly high storing, only a
few scores of over 200 being mad.
.Wright of Wllkes-Barro has high fccore
with ?12 bowled against the Elks; Ed

THE GENUINE
B5needa , Biscuit H
of Sport, if
After tho game on the Backus al
leys February 18 between tho Elk and
Backus teams, In which the former
players were so badly d feated, an ex
hibition game was rilayml In which
Louis Weber, who had been bowling
strongly all evening, rolled a remark
able game nr.d scored -20.
.
Base Ball Breveties.
HAVAXA, Cuba, was the scene of a
novel .base 'ball game Feb. i",
when the Cuban X Giants, a col
ored nine, played a team of native Cu
bans, winning out by the scoro of 7-3.
Imagine a base ball team with a bat
tery rejoicing In the names of Rodri
guez and Molina. Depict a nine strug
gling along whose shortstop's cogno
men Is Mayrlnac, backed up by Left
Fielder Maeza, and with a festive Gon
zaley gamboling around tho center
pasture. In spite of all these handi
caps the Cubans put up a good game
and their namesakes only beat them
out by the hardest kind of work.
Pitcher Harry Howell, of Baltimore,
grew loquacious the othe.- day on the
merits of Robinson and McOraw. as
shown by their magnificent handling
last season of the crowd of cast off
players which made up the Oriole nine.
From speaking of these ho drifted to
Billy Keistcr, the chunky little short
stop who formerly played third base In
Scranton. In speaking about him
Howell said: "The most remarkable
man In the game Is Billy Kelatsr, who
played shortstop for the Orioles List
year. Keistcr had some troubte with
his head nnd the operation of trepan
ning was performed on him. Ilj h.n a
piece of silver as big, as a doUrr fitted
somewhere over his brain. At times
this having money on the brain makes
Kelster act queerly. I have often been
playing eiibbage with hlin when ho
would suddenly get up and leave the
room for no apparent reason. Ten
minutes nfter, when asked whv he
stopped playing, he would havo no
recollection that he had bein In a
game of cards. Although a .inert man,
Kelster uses a very long bat an.i al
ways hits a ball which comes away
over his head."
Most of the National league ball
teams have besun the work of 1 3
organlzatlon for 1000, among them be
ing Brooklyn, Baltimore and New
York. The Brooklyn team will be a
very strong one, consisting as it will
of Joe Kelly, John Anderson, ,J. P.
CasL-y, W. E. Dahlon, T. P. Daly. W.
C. Hill. W. E. Donovan, W. Kennedy.
J. JlcJames, Morris Steelmun nnd Joe
Yeager.
Earl "Wagner, of Washington, Is
casting a desirous eye on Joe Kelly
and would much desire to have the ex
Orlolo captain and manage his Sena
tors In case he has a team In the Na
tional league.
The New York team so far has signed
several players, such as Fleming, Ga
ronl, Woodiurr, Gleason, Conroy, Doyle
and others.
It Is likely that Hugh Duffy, long
the crack Boston outtlelder, will play
with the Giants and with him captain
ing and "Buck" Ewlng as manager,
there would be some rhancc of base
ball being revived In New York. Bos
ton can spare Duffy, as Hamilton,
Stahl nnd "Buck" Freeman will make
one of the best hitting, fustest out-
llelds in the league.
A fearful blow was dealt the new
American association Tuesday, when
Robinson and McGraw, two of Its
warmest partisans, turned to the ene
my by meeting Ned Hanlon nnd sign
ing contracts to play with the Balti
more National league team In 1900.
This will make the personnel of the
Baltimore team a very strong one.
Nearly all of last year's players havo
signed, although Walter Brodle Is
holding out for a better salary than
the one offered, and from present In
dications It looks as though ho Is not
likely to get It.
McKenna, McOlnnlty, Howell and
Kittson, all youngsters, and good ones
at that, will be the pitching staff. Rob
inson will be one of tho catchers and
our own "Broadway Alex" Smith will
be his mate. Crlsham, the hard hit
ting young Eastern league catcher,
will bo given a trial at first base,
"Gene" Demont will hold down second,
Keistcr will play short and tho only
"Muggsy" McGraw will be stationed
at third, while the outfielders will
probably bo Brodle, In case he gets
over his sulks; "Ducky" Holmes and
Shackaid, with Harris as a utility
man. Dave Fultz, the Brown univer
sity man who played such a strong
game last season, will likely play In
the outfield in case Brodle does not
sign, and otherwise will bo retained as
another utility man. "Jerry" Nops
and George La Chance will probably
be sold or trudtd.
President Dreyfues, of the reorgan
.. a IUJ
ized Pittsburg team, has solved the
difllculty as to the disposition of his
surplus players and Is rapidly dispos
ing of them to minor league teams.
Last week First Baseman Mike Kelly
and the clever lnflelder, Madison, were
both sold to Indianapolis.
Elsworth, better known as "Cupid"
Cunningham, has been set adrift by
the Pittsburg team, and, strange to
say, has not yet been signed by any
other team. In tho last Ave years he
has pitched on the Louisville team, a
steady tall-ender, and yet has made
himself a name among the greatest
pitchers of the country, being cool
headed, calm and strategic. He would
prove a strong addition to the pitch
ing force of more than one of the big
teams and it seems odd that he has
not yet been signed. In case none of
the National leaguers take him, it is
likely that "Connie" Mack wilt sign
him for his Milwaukee team, where,
In Dowltng, Sparks and Cunningham,
ho would then have a great trio of
pitchers. Speaking of Mack's team,
reminds us .that another old Scranton
player, "Big Bill" Clark will play first
on the nine and Is expected to cloud
out many a victory for the Brewers
with his mighty baton.
William J. Goeckel, of Wllkes-Barre,
for several years first baseman on the
Wilkes-Barre professional nines, has
given up the diamond and forsaken the
mlt for the more sober wig and quill,
as he will henceforth practice law in
his native city, as he was somo time
ago admitted to the Luzerne county
bar. Last season Goeckel played first
base on the Philadelphia team and,
while fielding finely, nevertheless did
not bat quite up to the standard. Man
ager Shettsllne, however, sent him a
contract Thursday for this season, but
Goeckel refused It, as henceforth he
will relinquish professional ball. His
record while on the diamond has P;n
a splendid one. It began practically
at the University of Pennsylvania,
where he made a name for himself as
the best man In his position and one
of the heaviest hitters in tho college
world. On leaving college ho signed
with Wllkes-Barre, and during his ex
perience in the Eastern and Atlantic
leagues with that nine established an
enviable record as a clever Holder and
base runner and particularly as a bats
man. Among the Pugs.
JACK BONNER, the well-known
pugilist of Summit Hill, has been
vanquished, not by any opposing
boxer, but by a more formidable
foe, namely, one Dan Cupid. Sun
day evening he was married to Miss
Grace Galigher, of Lansford, and
Tuesday left with her for Chicago.
Tom Sharkey Js one of tho richest
prize fighters in tho business. In his
six 5'enrs in tho ring, his prowess with
tho gloves has netted him a snug for
tune and as the- sailor puEillst knows
how to take care of tho shekels, it Js
not likely that he will be destitute In
his old age. Last week he purchased
a cottage and some lar.d at Shcepshead
Bay and he intends to build there this
summer.
Joo Choynskl still feels exceedingly
sore, both literally and figuratively
speaking, over his recent rather un
pleasant experience with Joe Walcott.
His claim of being entirely out of con
dition, by reason of a broken rib, is
arcepted by many to be a perfectly
honest one, nnd there are plenty who
still think that the tall Callfornlan it
by far tho little nrgroo's superior. It
certainly is a bitter pill for Choynskl
to swallow, after sixteen years' hard,
clean fighting with the best men of the
country, to go down before a negro
weighing thirty pounds less than he.
nine or ten Inches shorter, nnd In head
work considered far beneath him.
Choynskl is not a man to cry out,
however, without some canine nnd in
his ring experience has always shown
himself so fair nnd honest that 'there
seems little doubt that it was hardly
