'Base Ball Briefs. T1 HB ATLANTIC LKAOl'K this year will be a pretty fast aggregation of nlnvers and will contain u com bination of seasoned veterans nnd gin gery youngsters which will make the league one of the swiftest minor or ganizations In the country. The Allentown team will be practic ally the same as last year's nine and will consist of Lutenbcrg, the old East ern leaguer, on first, Tom Delehanty on second, Jim Delehanty at short and Ktihns on third. McManus, last year's hard-hlltlng catcher, .will bo behind tho bat, and Stlmmcll will probably be again In the box. .Too Delehnnty, the terrific bitting outfielder, will again .cover right field and It is likely that besides these three brothers of the famous Ed Delehanty. of Philadelphia, there will be another member of the family on tho team. Secretary Zimmerman, when In this city, said: "Yes, there's young Frank Delehanty, who's the latest one to crop out as a candidate for league honors. Every member of the family Is a born ball player, and wo will probably give the youngster a. trial." The Philadelphia Athletics will prob ably be strengthened by several of the younger Philadelphia players, and In case Zlegler. Jacklitzch, Mahaffcy, Chiles and others do not show the nec essary Xational speed, they may wear Athletic uniforms. President Belmont has also signed several other men, and Is after Becker and Duggleby, tho lat ter of whom formerly pitched for Wllkps-lSarre and tho former for Rochester, to do the twirling honors for his pots. Manager Fleischman has secured for his Heading team Third Baseman Law rence, First Baseman Beaumont, Out fielder Moran, Catcher Logan and Pitchers Voorhees and McLaughlin; "Kid" Cross, a brother ot "Monte" Cross, of the Philadelphia, team, is wanted at Beading to play shortstop, and President Belmont is also after him for the Athletics. Manager Smith, of Elmira, lias al ready signed Dean for second base, Haggerty for third, Johnson for right field, and Frazee for pitcher. "Homo Bun" Bottcmus, tho ex-Buffalo out fielder, will play first base. Manager -Clymer has not yet signed many men for his Wilkes-Barrc team, but has communicated with a largo number. Ho Is after George Schoch, the ex Brooklyn player, to play third, but Schoch prefers to play nearer his homo in Philadelphia. Burns, tho Avoea boy, who last year played on tho "Wllkes Barre team in the Atlantic league and later in the season with Kansas City, will not be on the latter team this sea son and would like to play In Wllkes Barro again. A game was played Monday at St. Louis between the National league team ot that city and the Itochester Eastern leaguers. In which there wers four Px-Scranton players. Kclster played second base for St. Louis and Burkott played left field. The llttlo second baseman hit out a single and two home runs, and also fielded capi tally. On the Itochester side tho ex Scrantonlans were Shortston Frank Bonner and Pitcher Morse. The latter made the sensational play ot the game by taking a red-hot liner from Dono van's bat nnd sending It to first base hi time for a double play. In the game at New Haven, "Wednes day, between Yale and TufU univer sity, Sharpe. the Yale first 1 aseman, wno last year acquired such fann cs a foot ball back, made the longest home run made on the grounds in five years. Cooley, of last year's Phlladelphlas, Is looking around for n position this year. This splendid batsman nnd ex cellent outfielder still has the ability to shine In the Nntional League, but the outer gardens of the big teams are singularly well taken care of, and It b ft W P The Marriage Problem "How to be happy though married," has been entirely solved to the satisfaction of hundreds of thousands of women. There can be no happiness without health. The general health of woman is dependent on the local health of the delicate womanly organs. When there are debilitating drains, or inflammation, ulceration or female weakness, happiness in marriage is practically impossible. A host of happy wives testily that the secret of happiness in marriage is found in the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription. It dries the drains, heals ul ceration and inflammation and cures fe male weakness. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. Mn. Anna Willy, (Michigan Houm), North vllle. Spink Co., .

After carefully following youradvice and taking sit bottles each of Dr. Tierce's Favorite Pre scription and 'Golden Medical Discovery' I am now a well and happy women," Women are invited to consult Dr, Pierce ' by letter, free. Correspondence private. Address Dr. R. V. Tierce, Buffalo, N. Y, have to become a minor leaguer. He seems ns though the ex-Quaker will would make n capital manager nnd captain for nn Eastern or Atlantic League team and will probably sign In that capacity. John Berger has come out with the assertion that lie Is again In the field nnd Is looking for the backstop posi tion on u minor league team. The stout, good-natured catcher Is well re membered hero by his work on one of Scranton's last Eastern League teams. Last year he figured as an umpire but with such disastrous results that he has decldpd to don the mask nnd get back Into the game this year. Pitcher Cloodwln has left Wllkes Ilurro for Canada, nnd will play this season on the Montreal Eastern League team. Goodwin would hnve preferred to ngnln play with "Wilkes Barre, but Montreal would not give up Its claim on him. "Base ball Is undoubtedly u game full of chance and uncertain ty," remarked the professor thought fully. "Some wise man has made tho remark which I know has been quoted before this, that tho gome Is not over until the last man 1 odt. That la undoubtedly a true saving. Now, 1 remember a game between Yale and Weslcyan, which occurred when I was at tho latter collcte, A big crowd of us had accompanied the team to New Haven, and the game played was one which would set the heart ot even a Cleveland base ball rooter beating overtime. It was close nil the way through, and in tho ninth Inning the score stood S-S. They start ed the tenth Inning with our boys nt bat. We went at the Ell pitcher hard, and us a result there was a base on balls, followed by a clever steal of second. A crashing double to left was next and the man on second came homo on It. Well, we had tho game cinched for sure then, In our minds, and for a while the Yale boys' faces looked as blue ns their colors. Well our side was retired with the score !)-8, and Yale came to the bat. The first man up was an easy out, and tho crowd began to leave their seats. The second batter went out and Wes- leyan rooters yelled themselves hoarse. "Tho next batter smashed the first ball pitched and raised a high fly for the pitcher to take. It looked like the easiest sort of an out nnd our fielders started to walk in. Well the ball be gan to descend and our pitcher stood there with a complacent look on his face, waiting for it. Well, the long and short of tho story Is that he muf lled It, muffled It miserably, and tha ball striking the ground, bounced about ten feet In tho air, and the pitcher. short-stop and third baseman falling all over each other In their efforts to get the leather, the runner reached first. "This dampened our enthusiasm a bit, and the remnant of loyal Ells present began to yell and shout en couragement in a way that maJe our pitcher's knees wobble. He looked nt the batter and his knees wobbled some more. It was Case, the Yale captain, who was the only man that had fath omed his delivery and already had two homo runs to his credit In tho game. "He waited for a nice one, nnd then slammed It to the farthest corner of left field, trotting around the bases for hip. third home run, nnd chasing a rim In ahead, of him. It made the score 10-9. nnd sent a crowd of the most forlorn youngsters back to Wesleyan that ever rooted for a ball nine." Ball Bearings. CHIEF CONSUL GEORGE A. PER KINS, of tho Massachusetts di vision of the League of American Wheelmen, Intends to put Into opera tion his scheme for the holding of mass meetings of 'cyclists, both members ot tho league nnd those who are not. The first meeting will bo held In Springfield and others are planned for Worcesterl Fltchburg, Lowell, Fall River, Now Bedford and other cities. The main object will be to create an Interest In League of American Wheelmen work and In doings In the 'cycling world. The races which will be conducted during the national meet of the League of American Wheelmen, July 10-1-1, are bound to be Interesting ones. They will be conducted under the auspices ot the National 'Cycling association, and over $3,000 In prizes will bo given for the three days and two nights of racing. One ot the strong attractions will be a race between Zimmerman and Sanger, the former champions, and a novel feature will be tho automobile racing, to which a whole day will by devtoed. The League of American Wheelmen divisions in charge of the construction of a side-path between New York nnd Chicago are working Industriously, and as now outlined tho path (starting from the New York end) will run through Poughkeepsle, Albany, Schenectady, Amsterdam, Utlca, Syracuse, Roches ter, Batavia, Buffalo (N.Y.), Erie (Pa.), Ashtabula, Cleveland, Elyrla, Toledo (O.), Butler, Goshen, Elkhart, South Bend (Ind.) to Chicago.

THE BICYCLE CLUB will conduct another bowling tournament on Its alleys, beginning the first of next week, and there Is every indica tion of its being as great a success as the one just brought to a close. The tournament on the Elk alleys will soon Htart, also, and these two eon? testa will bring "the bowling season to a close, the most successful bowling season which ever took place In Scran ton. The attention of the public has been drawn to the game and It has now made Itself tho prime winter sport. The second bowling team of the Bi cycle club Journeyed to WIIkes-Barre Wednesday night and bowled Its third game with tho Wilkes-Barre West End club "Scrap Iron" team. Tho Scranton boys met their second defeat, and will play the last game of tho series Tues day night on tho local alleys.

THE big foot ball elevens have al ready started practice and last week nt Cambridge a scrub game was played by two teams, tindqr the. leadership of Quarterback Daly, cap tain of tho 'Varsity men, and Sargent. At Philadelphia, Coach Woodruff al ready has most of the University of Pennsylvania men out on the field, and Is putting them through a dally course of exercise which will have them In tho pink of condition for the fall work. McCracken and Hare, of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, are keeping up their magnificent work In throwing the hammer, and last week McCracken flung the sixteen-pound hammer 149 feet, 6 Inches. Hare Is throwing splen didly, also, and Trainer Murphy ex pects both men to throw near 160 feet this year. From the wild and woolly west there comes the report that a husky youth named Iiaw, of Califor nia university, threw the hammer 1B2 feet. It will be a great contest be tween him and McCracken, when Cali fornia and Pennsylvania meet next month nt Franklin Field, In Philadel phia. -. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. G ALLEN'S OPENING TUESDAY GALL-EN'S jpxx:oxMxx:as:xxxxxxu S? . The subject of the outing, to take place nt 2.30 this nfternoon, was again brought to the notice of the Pedestrlnn club. It wus thought at first that the contests would not take place, ns a slight miuunderstanding was circulated as regards the foot race. It was pub lished In the columns ot the Tribune Wednesday that the race was to be between Eugene Tropp and Robert Gardner, but It was afterwards ascer tained that Mr. Tropp would compete with Arch Dean, also of Exeter. As Mr. Dean has carried oft a number of prizes for foot-racing, the event will undoubtedly be very Interesting. Mr. Tropp Is determined to win this con test or, perchnnce, be might be beaten, he says that It will only be -done with the greatest exertion. It la hoped that more Interest will be taken In the af fair today than was manifested last Saturday. As the weather begins to settle nnd become fine tho enjoyments of the class In surveying begins to Increase. It is the Intention of Prof. Shlmpff to take the different classes, which are studying surveying under his super vision, out to the neighboring fields and woods for the purpose of having practical lessons in surveying these tracts. This part ot the work is the most enjoyable feature of the year and is looked forwnrd to with expectation and delight by all those who take up surveying. But everything connected with this outing Is not nil lovely be cause It means not only study, but also hard work to survey a tract of land correctly and accurately. An incident, which might have re sulted somewhat seriously, nnd one which was entirely due to carelessness, happened at the close of the fifth period. A number of books, bound tightly together with a strap, were evl denly being carried In a careless man ner along the corridor on -the third floor. On descending the steps- leading to the second floor, the books escaped from the hands of the owner and were precipitated to tho locker-room below. It happened that there, was no pupils on the exact spot when the books fell on there might have occurred some thing more serious than a "huge Joke." Steven Dawes. PEOKVILLE.

Ho struck upon! his head nnd right shoulder. He did not complain of injuries at the time, but shortly after tho accident happened ho was noticed to be acting1 strangely and later lapsed Into a comatose state. Ho was taken to tho home of Mr. E. E. Grelner, where his brother Is employed, nnd Dr. J. B, Grover was summoned to attend him. Although the right side of his head was badly bruised the skull was not fractured. Dr. Grover expressed the opinion that there was nothing serious to be feared. Mr. Locklin had gained consciousness and was resting easy last evening. Miss Lillian Peck Is the guest of Mr. nnd Mrs. W. T. Roberts, of Jer myn. Mr. Robert Tuthlll, ot South Main street, is still critically 111. The case of Louis Weissbergcr vs. tho New York, Ontario and Western railroad for $10,000 damages for injury, has been postponed until the iMay term of court. To satisfy an Idle rumor we would state that all Ice cream used! at tho Wilson Fire company fair was made by E. E.

S. C. Slmpklns; love feast at 9.30 a. m.; sac rament of the Lord's supper at close of tho morning sermon. Preaching in the evening by the presiding elder, Rev. J. F. Warner, of Carbondale. This is the last quarterly meeting of this conference year and the last In the pastorate of Rev. Slmpklns with the First Methodist Episcopal church of Peckvllle. His pastorate has been highly appreciated and successful. Tho last year has been very successful not withstanding heavy losses by death and removal. There has been a net gain over all losses of forty members In the last year nnd the congregation has doubled during the pastorate ot Rev. Slmpklns, and a universal feeling of regret Is expressed by all classes because of the fact that the time limit of the Methodist Episcopal church makes It necessary that the change should be made. The Wilson Fire company yesterday disposed of their hose cart to a new hose companyl In Jessup, that was re cently formed on the flats. Since the purchase of an up-to-date hose wagon the Wilsons had no use for tho cart.
