W1ULU in all likelihood Scranton
wilt have a base ball team In
Hie Atlantic Iciicul this Rea
son, still the fact it-mains that
' so fur the proper Interest has
not been shown. M. V. Sanders and
Walter liurnham, who have been en
KuklhI In pushing the project Ihiough,
have had the hardest sou of work to
lalso tho compaiatlvely small sum
which they now have. They expect
better success this week, however, and
aie fultly confident oC ultimate for
tune. Manager Iiurnhnm has received ap
plications for positions on the team
from a ory large number of players
fiom the Eastern, Atlantic, New' Ens
land nnd Western leagues. Doherty,
who made himself a favorite In Scran
ton last year by his third base work
and who played a gieat game at Read
ing after the. local club disbanded, has
asked for a place here, as has also
1'eter Kagan, formerly one of the most
popular outfielders that ever played In
this city. Last ear Kagan did not
pMy his game, but there is little doubt
that under a rigorous management,
I'etor would prove one of the best out
lleldcrs and most lellablc stickers In
the Atlantic league. Ilothfuss, for
merly in the Atlantic and Eastern
leagues, Is a candidate for catcher. lie
is a steady backstop and a good hitter,
and would certainly bo a valuable ac
quisition to 11 team. IYrtsch, of Head
ing, Is another man who is likely to
play here. East voor he was one of
the best pitchers In the Atlantic league,
and after that organization bioku up,
pl.ijed awhile In the Western league.
He is a splendid pitcher and a good
batmnn, for a tvvhler.
In case the funds ate lalsed this com
ing week, the placrs will bo Immedl
' atelv signed and come to the city.
Practice will bo staited and by the ilrst
week In Slav, when the Atlantic league
will probably open, Seianton will have
a llist-cl.is team In the Held.

THE PHILADELPHIA team is
showing laru form In Its ptactlco
guinea down South and the Quak
er sluggeib aie dally almost knocking
the cover off the ball. In Tuesday's
game between the Hegulais and Yanl
gans this was especially to. It Is Hue
th.it the plteheis on both hides do not
btialn themsehps by pitching their
hardest, but novel thelcss the pound
ing ndmlulstcied is something won
deiful. In this game the Yanlgans got
nineteen hits, while the Regulars, in
j-een innings of play, banged out Just
thirty-six cafe ones. Delehanty led in
the batting with five singles nnd the
longest homo run ever made on the
grounds. Lajoio had a brace of sin
gles and four doubles. Roy Thomas
got in a double nnd five singles, nnd
little Single, the Washington purchase,
Justified all the complimentary things
that hae been said about him by
landing rn the curves of Piatt and
Bernhaid for two singles, two doubles
and a three-bagger. Of the Philadel
phia Colts seeral are showing up in
good shape, Ziegler, the short stop be
ing a bright particular star. His Meld
ing is good and his batting heavy, and
if Joe Dolan was not the steady, lell
ble player he is, It would look -very
much as though the coming beason
would find Zelgler on thlid base.
After all, the much maligned, oft
pltled and looked-down upon New
York team will not be nearly the weak
nine that it has been popularly sup
posed will utyresent the metropolis
Euck Ewlng confidently icmarked that
he has the strongest batting team in
the league, and a glance over his col
lection ilinws that Manager Ruck has
consldemble giounds for his state
ment. Jack Doyle on llmt base i.s al
ways a 300 batter, and Kid Gleason at
second, generally hits around that
maik. Geoi go Davis Is one of the
heaviest battels on the team, and
Thlid Ravemnn Winnie ."leicei last
ear batted SOJ at Washington In
centy-flve games, coming up aboo
Mich hltteis ns Sheikaul, Farrell,
Leach, Jones, Denionren'lle and other
heavy hltteis. The outfield, consisting
of Van Haiti en, Selbacli and Pliable,
or possibly HIcKmau, consists entirely
if heavy battels, and the catching
staff, Wainer, Gnuly and Rowerman,
almost rqual.s In batting piowess the
Philadelphia ten 111c hitting backstop
depaitment. Even the Giant pitchers
are good hltteis. Sejmour last year
bitted S!7, and big Amos Ruslo can
nNo hit the leather out In ease of
emeiRoncy. Fostei, the substitute
outfielder, last ear batted 305.
Connie Mack la bent on making his
Milwaukee team a winner, and has
added extra st length to it by the sign
ing of John Anderson, of Riooklyn,
the hard-hitting outfielder, and Dave
Pultz, last year Baltlmoie's ciack
utility man.
Manager Stalllngs, of Detiolt, has
Bjillai
purchased Dick Padden, of last year's
Washington team, nnd Jnck O'Hrlen,
nnd will utilize both men on. his nine.
Padden I a splendid Inflcldcr and n
fair batsman, while O'Brien, who for
merly was a favoilto Scranton player,
is a fine outfielder nnd a magnificent
batsman.
Manager Fred Clarke has put an
abrupt stop to New York's crtdeavors
to land Tom O'Brien, who played such
n strong game last year In the Giant
left field. He declares that O'Brien Is
too valuable a player to lose and that
he is needed in Pittsburg.
Frank Bonner, the old Scranton
player, has Joined the Rochester East
ern League team and will this season
cover second base for that nine.

THE COMING fight between "Kid"
McCoy and "Sailor" Sharkey in
May has already aroused much in
terest nnd speculation Is rife concern
ing the outcome. .It will be the case
of science ngalnst strength, and thctc
nro many who think that the expon
ent of pugilistic science will have a
hard time in facing fierce hitting Shar
key. San Fianclsco spoits will soon have
an opportunity of seeing Terry Mo
Govern, the llttlo Brooklyn feather
weight champion. He Intends to go
West after his bout with Tommy
White Is settled, and has signed with
a theatrical company to give exhibi
tions on the Pacific Blopc.
Terry McOovern is slated for an
other go with Oscar Gardner and will
have a twenty-five-round bout with
him before the Nonpareil Athletic club
in Louisville, Ky. McGovcrn and Ed
die Santry had previously signed to
fight in New York before the Broad
way Athletic club on the night In
question. Santry preferred to fight In
Loulsvlllo and the New York club
would not release him.
Jim Judge, the locnl well-known
welterweight, 1a rapidly fighting his
way back again Into the hearts of
boxing enthusiasts. After Judge's de
feat by "Mysterious Billy" Smith in
which, by the way, he displayed his
ability to stand ounishment by endur
ing a terrible pummellng from the
mysterious one, he was consisted
somewhat of a "has been" by many
nnd lost considerable prestige. He then
fought with Joe Walcott, who was not
at that time as famous in the nugllls
tlc world ns he Is now nnd had not
nenrly reached the heights he has at
present reached. Walcott gave Judge
a sound thrashing, punishing him se
veiely. Recently, however, the Scran
ton man has been righting his way
back again, and is putting up a
steady, plucky fight which is winning
him praise all over the country.
Sporting Squibs.
The University of Pennsylvania In
Hare and iMcCracken, the two gteat
football guaids, seems destined to gio
the country two of Its premier hammer
throwers. McCracken was the ac
knowledged chninplon until Flanagan
wrested the title fiom him, and the
latest repoits fiom Philadelphia say
that Hare Is doing magnificent woik.
The tiack men were put to woik this
week for tho first time by. Trainer
"Mike" Murphy, and during this prac
tice Haro made one especially fine
throw 'by sending the hammer 135 feet.
It Is now expected that he will beat out
McCracken as a thrower.
Negotiations between Alfred DeOro,
the pool champion, nnd Jerome Kcogh,
of this city, who recently challenged
him to a match, have now reached, a
definite point and the match will bo
played In Now York next week. Three
consecutive nights of play will consti
tute the match, tho stake being $300,
which the winner takes, together with
the gate receipts.
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
The regular meeting the Literary socie
ty held yesterday at the close of the ses
sion proved a rather interesting and en
tertaining affair. The fact that the
Blnghamton High School refused to ac
cept a challenge which the society sent,
was brought before tho members, and it
was decided by motion not to challcngo
any other school this year, but, Instead,
to have the subject laid over until next
term. Another interesting thing, and
one which would undoubtedly proe
rather profitable to the society, was sug.
gestcd by the president, Mr. Hoovcn, to
the effect that the society should appro
priate J5 for the purpose of buying a
prize and giving it to the member who
could .produce the best essay, poem, ora
tion or In fact any contest which should
be decided upon. This will no doubt re
ceive, the attention of the members. The
literary programme was, as expected, a
complete success. The essay read by
Miss Boland on "Our Literary Society '
was very fine and bi ought out, in an ex
cellent manner, the good results of hav
ing such a society In the Bchool. ' The
two recitations of Miss Green were, ns
usual, very finely given and received tho
hearty applause of all the students pres
ent. Mr. Benedict's oration on "The
Two Navnl Heroes, Admiral Nelson and
Admiral Schley," wob delivered In good
oratorical style and was very Interesting
and Instructive. The debate, "Resolved,
That liquid air will probably become a
potent factor In tho world's history,"
which subject was championed by Mr.
Welsenfluh for the affirmative, and Mr.
Kann for the negative, was also a com
plete success, and both tho good and the
bad points of the late discovery were
brought before the society In tho clearest
manner possible The judges decided in
favor of the affirmative.

presided, and after all tho old business
had been disposed of Secretary Welsin
fluh. under the head of now business,
read the communication from Mr. Bums,
of tho Womlng semlnat y, concerning
a track day at that institution. He re
quested that the club select a number
of competent athletes to take pait in the
contests. After tho question had ic
relvod the duo consideration of tho mem
bers, it was decided, on motion that a
committee, consisting of Sir. Powell, Mr.
12 not! and Mr. Tropp, see to the si cur
ing and training of contestants to take
part In the field day contests with the
seminary. Tlieie Is hardly a doubt but
tb it the Scranton High School Pedestrian
club will carry oft somo of the laurels if
not tho handsome cup which tho semi
nary has offered as a pilo. Anyhow,
the bojs aie .willing to try, nnd if thev
do not proe prize winners, they will at
least show that they made a sturdy ef
foit. It was decided unanimously to
hae Professor Bcaumonf uct as director
of the club.
The Pcdctilin club will hold another
field day nt l.ako Scranton thla after
noon at 2 30. The main features of the
afternoon will bo a cios-country run,
or go-as-you-plcaso inco around the lake.
In which a large number of students hae
aheady entered their names as contest
ants; also a bicycle race and seetal
tunning matches. As tho Saturday spent
some time ago at the'lakc proved a most
enjoyable day, and many students re
gretted very much that they were not
present, tho crowd at the lake this after
noon, If tho whether permits, will un
doubtedly be much larger than before.

INTERNATIONAL!
Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, Penn'a. gt:
:"$ That Originated Correspondence Instruction in the
Engineering Trades and Professions in 1891. g;
f BE-HTiLRE of COUNTERFEITS f
VOU CANNOT successfully educate yourself through the mails by
enrolling with one of our imitators. You are certain to lose the
money ou pay for tuition, because their methods of instruction are
Illogical, ana the results without alue to any one desiring eJuca
tion for its practical use.
Our system of Correspondence Instruction in the Industrial
Sciences was origiinted in The International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton,
Pa., in October, 1891. Since that time, we hae taught the Theory of the
Engineering Trades and Professions, as well as Aechanical and Architectural
Drawing, to thousands of industrial workers, and ha e qualified them for respon
sible positions. Our rolls contain the names of students in every part of the cl il
ized world.
That a method or an in ention should thus extend around the globe, and rapidly
grow in fa or w ith the lapse of time, is proof positive of intrinsic alue.
These great results have been achte ed by original methods of teaching
methods especially adapted to the end in view. Our Instruction anJ Question
Papers and our Drawing Plates differ widely from school and college textbooks,
and cost us over $300,000 to prepare and our Imitators are compelled to employ a
cheaper but an utterly impracticable method that of using textbooks of colleges
and the universities.
If the industrial classes could learn drawing and the mathematical and physi
cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would have been no field for The
International Correspondence Schools, and our grand array of 160,000 students
could never hae been assembled.
Our instruction and Question Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the
textbooks used by students In the regular schools In the following important
respects :
FIRST: They are mastered more easily and in
eSS time. The theories and demonstrations of science
its abstractions are always difficult. Our textbooks contain only the facts,
principles, and processes absolutely required by the student in his trade or pro
fession. These are usually easy to learn and to apply. The workingman has not
the time to study all the matter contained in tho school and college textbooks,
neither does his work require him to be strong in abstract theory. In the prepar
ation of our Instruction Papers, neither time nor expense is spared to secure the
greatest possible simplicity and ease of application. We do not occupy the time
of our students in the study of the derivation of rules and formulas; we teach
them how to apply rules and formulas.
&
SECOND: TIeiJ, dre m0,re PCtical. ordinary school
-"- ""-' and college textbooks, such as are used by our Imitators,
contain no examples relating to Mining, Mechanics, Steam bnglneerlng. Electricity,
Architecture, Plumbing, Heatlntj, Ventilation, Sheet-Metal Pattern Drafting, or
Civil Engineering. In each of our Courses, the examples and processes refer
directly to the trades or professions of the class of students for whom the Course
was prepared : so that from tho beginning our students are getting valuable
knowledge and are learning to apply it.

THE
THIRD: 0ur textbooks are written by men strony ,'.
both in theory and practice. The authors of
textbooks intended for use in colleges and universities hae thorough scientihe -
training, Indeed, but they hae little or none of tho know ledge that can be gained
only by doing by experience. They do not know, and. ilieieiore, omit to mention
in their books, the way In which innumerable scientific facts may be applied in L!
simple operations of the trades or professions. These applications of science are "
familiar only to the exptrt both In theory and practice, and only such men are em- 0
ployed as Editors and Instructors by tho Management of these Schools. f;
FOURTH: Tne men tfiat mafie our textbooks su-
' pervise the instruction of our students. 5
No one can teach the contents of a book so well as the man that wrote the book; '
he knows better than any one else what Is In the book, why it is there, and its
importance with reference to the other parts of the entire subject. ,
5:
FIFTH: Theu are fluently revised. Be.nS private 5
'" property, protected by copyright, school and college textbooks
cannot be changed at the pleasure of those that use them. In order to correct what
s wrong, improve what is faulty, smooth away difiiculty. and insert what is of g'
later discovery, changes must be made very frequently. Our Instruction Papers ' i
belong to us ; and In our Editorial Department, they are in constant comparison -' .
with what is latest and best; faults, omissions, and crudities of every kind nro Sfc'
therefore remedied w ithout delay. In the case of textbooks on Applied Physical , , ,'
Science, the need of revision occurs with special frequency. Take Electrical books,
for example; many works on this subject printed tue years ago are now nearly 1
worthless, for the reason that they are out of date. 0.

Our students in drawing make as rapid progress In learning and become as
proficient as the students of the regular schools and colleges. The principles un- '
deriving our system of teaching drawing are entirely different from those in tho 1
systems employed in the regular schools, colleges, and universities, and there is 0.
