MANAGER WAITEH W. BURN
IIA.M did. not return home yes
terday afternoon from Reading,
ns writ expected, but stayed to
work on the schedule, he be
ing one of the commltteo appointed to
draw It up. As a. result, the meeting
of the dltectois of the team, which
v.aa to take place this afternoon, was
postponed.
Prom all present indications base ball
ought to prove a great success In
Seranton this season. The most suc
trssful year of base ball ever oxpeil
cnced heie was during the tlmo
"Marty" Fwlft mnnaged the old State
League team. This new league has a
moro compact and uhortcr clrcult.thcro
will be a faster class of players In It,
and the cities arc eo paned off that a
wholesome Bplrlt of tlvalry exists
throughout the entire circuit. The
season will Include probably about 120
games, of which half will he played on
the home grounds.
Sunday luiBe ball will be plaed at
Newark, Klmlra and Jersey City, nnd
special games will be plnyed on Sun
day at P.iterson with the Independent
team of that city. Special games will
also be played with th Atlantic City
team.
The managers of the various teams
urchaid at work getting together
thojr pl.iyns, and the Athletics, Read
ing, Allentown and Elmira teams have
piactlea'.ly thr'r full nines already ot
ganl7ed. Manuqer Rurnham has feigned sever
al clever j.oung players, nnd will bo
nblo to get out his tenni, within tho
nxt day or two Mnnngor Cljmer, of
"Wllki'S-Raire, Is also hard .it work,
nnd will, put a team In the field which
will ably represent the Barons, and
which wilt ceive to keep very much
alive the old time llvalry between the
two cities.
Base Ball Brevities.
FRANK DILT.ON, last jear the
Sctanton Ilr&t baseman, Is rapidlv
batting himself, If the expression
mav be used. Into tho hearts of the
Pittsburg fans. Ills work during tho
piactleo games, so far, has been of
tho gilt-edged oider, and has been com
mented upon most graciously by the
Pittsburg newspapers. During the
games with the Rochester nine, champ
Ions last year of the Kastern league,
his batting was the feature of every
game. In one contest, In particular,
when "Pon" -Morse, the old Seranton
pitcher was In the box for Rochester
and holding the big batsmen down in
fine style, the tall young first baseman
smashed out a single and two double
sackers, nnd was robbed ot a home
urn by Lush making a grand catch In
the outfield.
Jonett Jleekln. once legarded as one
of tho greatest pitchers in tho business
while he was Amos Rusle's running
mate on tho New York Giants, and
w ho last year played with Boston for a
short while, has been signed by Mana
ger Prod Clat ko for Ills Plttsbui g team.
Manager Fleishman now has h's
Reading team almost completed and on
papcr.at least.it looks strong. Vooihees,
Ames and Uson will pitch, Cogan, Fox
nnd probably -yder wilt constitute the
catching dei-v. ;nent, Beaumont will
play flist; Conroy, .second; Lawience
third and at short either O'Neil or
"Kid Cross will be stationed. Tate,
last year with Allentown, and who
also played hero a short while, will
play left field; Moran wilt be in center
and Caulflower Is wanted for light. The
hard hitting e-Cleveland player is also
claimed by the Wilkes-Banc team.
Tho St. Louis team has on its pres
ent list twenty-five men. There are
eight pitchers alone, of whom Harper,
the old Seranton twirler Is one.
Michael Walth, of Mayfleld. Is galn
Ing.lainels galore on tho baso ball dia
mond, early as the season Is. As will
be reraembetod he last year played left
field on the Georgetown nine and
batted second In that collection of
terilflc-hlttlng young collegians. Po
tar this season his work has been the
featuib or every game played. In ths
match with the champion Brooklyns ot
the National League ho fielded his posi
tion in lrieproaehable stlo and made
the longest hit of the game, a hand
some dilve for three bases, made off
McGInnlty, the crack pitcher who was
tho star Baltimore twirler last season.
In Wednesday's game with Lehigh
t'nlversltv he again loomed up strong
In tho Held and lined out a single and
two home runs at tho bat.

Tuesday, April 17, "Mysterious Billy"
Smith and Mattv Matthews will light
befoie tho Broadway Athletic club, of
New Yoik. It Is scheduled to go twenty-live
rounds but there nre many win
think that the mysterious ono will put
his antagolst out of the game long bo
fore the full limit Is gone. Smith en
joys a first-class reputation In this
city, since he demonstrated his pow
ers by the terrible punishment ho ad
ministered to Jim Judge.
Jim Jeffries, tips the scale at 225
pounds at present and says he never
felt better In his life. He Is going
through a course of hard training and
Is rapidly getting Into condition to
meet Corbett. Tho big champion Is
confident of his ability to defeat "Pom
padour Jim" and also declares his wil
lingness to again meet Tom Sharkey.
Strikes and Spares.
Tlin ELKS' bowing tournament has
now been lalry begun and prom
ises to be fully as successful as
that conducted on the Bicycle club nl
leys. Players have been entered from
most of the local clubs, and some very
fine bowling has already been done. At
the conclusion of the tournament, a
match will be played on the alleys be
tween tho Klk Second team and the
Wilkes-Barie West Hnd Club "Scrap
Irons." Mitchell of the Elk team recently
bowled a Aeiy pretty game on the Elk
nlleys nnd rolled 26i In the course of
the game ho made ten strikes, and had
two breaks.
THE FIRST PONY EXPRESS.
In the Saturday Evening Post Homr
Bassfoid gives a full account of a talk
he had with Colonel Alexander Majors
shortly before his death. Colonel
Majois wns a member of the film that
contiolled the famous Ponji Evpiess.
Colonel (Majors said: "We had Hist
sounded a lot of the important business
men of both the coast nnd eastern
cities as to Its desirability. We learned
that the llxed charge of $." a ticttur of
ono ounce weight would be welcomed
as surprisingly low that Is, If we were
able to keep our promise as to the de
llveiy of a letter in something like
eight davs
"The expense, at the outset, was
enoimous. We bought, In round num

from taking up hip trip as assigned to
him, but there was never difficulty in
getting tho other rider to take up nt

"I have been asked sometimes wheth

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Spring Costumes, Bordered Fabrics,
Easter Dresses, Easter Millinery,
Independent Skirts, Eton Jackets,
The "Mess" Jacket, Spangled NetB,
Parasols.
New Yoik, April 11. The feminine
who does not uppear attractive In her
new spring costume must bo deficient
In taste, as mateilals, colors or styles
weie never more varied, or defective
figures so easily concealed. Bordered
falulcfl aie nuinctoim this season, and
otnmlnes (a species of open canvas)
show wide colored borders edged with
narrow white fringe, two handker
chiefs or "shawls" In exact harmony
being required for a wulst and a thlid
fs often purchased for tho parasol,
which of necessity Is almost square,
these "shawls" averaging about a
yard and a quarter each way.
BORDERED CREPE DE CHINES
aio also lovely materials, In all stjllsh
light shades, not however filnged, but
have merely bands of Oriental color
ings at ono edge. Usually, a veiy full
taffeta silk plaiting or ruffing le used
on the under skirt, and the bordered
stuff forms tho ovorsklrt. Coids may
now be run thiough lengthwise tucks
on skirts, and these are known under
the name of candle 'wick" sklits, caus
ing great dismay to the fashionable
dressmaker who hesitates to Increase
her already high prices and yet more
than double tho usual labor muRt now
be OMiended on i fashionable costume.
EASTER DRESSES ARE FOR THE
MOST PART
so overloaded with trimming as to be
entlioly opposed to good tuste, as an
exception, however, a gray poplin Is
made with a plain sklit and border of
white satin applique; Eton jacket and
sleeves almost covered with similar ap
plique. This is a novel feature, and in
a blue fouluid silk, four rows of blue
libbon, connected by hemstitching,
are lifted aiound tho hips with corset
like closeness, pointing at the fiont
nnd fiom Uk- lower one depends tho
very full oklit with one low of blue
libbon near the-lower edge. A eiepe
de Chine costume has bioad double
edged lace lltted around the hips and
the sklit In wide tucks.
EASTER HATS ARE AS OFTEN
PREPOSTEROUS
as beautiful and the piesent style ot
piling tulle, chiffon on Mllane, fiult
and iloweis together often results In
dlio confusion. As a rule, colois aie
flo pale that there Is often a want of
contract, that fault hovvevei cannot be
nscrlbed to the all-red hats, which aie
usually very charming, made of tians
parent mateilals often supplemented
by touches of cilmson velvet and llow
eus. Black nnd white hats, while
shown In great numbeis, are e.tien:e
ly trying.
INDEPENDENT SKIRTS
Include those of mixed cloth, black
and white plaids', broadcloth, peau-de-sole,
black cloth or silk applique, all
of which show no seams, while on the
other hand, a black silk skirt composed
of small gores tucked throughout, was
exhibited by a leading house: thus
theie Is no lack of vailety. Flguied
lace In either black or white, over
colors Is very appropriate to spangled
net bodices now considered a part of
every stylish wardrobe
THE ETON JACKET HOLDS UN
DISPUTED SWAY,
not only as a stylish corsage, but as
outdoor coverings come In cloth or
silk nppllque, not unfrequently tucked
of silk throughout, with white or ecru
laco rovers, or black applique revcrs
Is handsome over white silk or satin
Cilmson cloth Etons with brass but
tons and green velvet collars aro ex
tremely conspicuous, but happily will
be worn only ly young people. The
"Mess" jacket Is another fashionable
fancy, small nnd roufided at tho rrdnt,
without any collar, and having a white
cloth facing all around, over which Is
laid n second facing of tucked nnd
pointed black taffeta silk, the points
overlying tho -white facing, both of
which ure in sharp contrast with the
crimson fabric. A iovv of brass but
tons at each side of tho front Is op
tional. As a waist, In high-class cos
tumes tho Eton Is cut very short, nnd
tucked batiste waists aio largely used
under them, with n handsome lace
Jabot at the front. For older personi
rather long silk sneques, trimmed with
passementerie, or long silk cloaks, for
carriage or evening wear, are shown,
and capes (which lose their Jaunty ap
pearance when long) constitute lead
ing styles for middle-aged ladles to
whom Eton Jacket would bo fatal
THE NEWEST SPANGLED NET
SKIRTS
In white havo appllqued laco bordeis
around the lower edge, sprinkled with
silver or gilt sparks, nnd from this
bolder, n fibre-like designs In spangles
ascend for about eighteen Inches, tho
remainder having oval spangles at
close inteivalfl. Instead ot a lace bor
der, a deep white silk knotted frlnga
Is substituted, with the upper part of
tho skirt thickly spangled. In black
spangled nets, "all overs," patterns
are preferred to to heavy borders, and
spangled Etons may take the place of
the net bodice.
PARASOLS EMBRACE
eveiy fashionable fad, beginning inltn
tho "tailor-made," of plain colored
bilk with fancy handles for example,
a pug dog's head or an eagle's head,
etc. Then come the bio.nl stilpes,
either plain or In chine designs, on
plain silk; next embroidered patterns
on contrasting surfaces, then nppll
qued laco leaves, or black -laco dots ot
many sbes giouped together on pink
or white silk. Chiffon parasols nre
without number, white being In tho
majority. The fringed "shawl" or
"hnndkei chief" paiasol is a passing
fad, and all that class of materials
arc only suitable for persons ot un
limited Income. Tnnnle Field.
