THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, APRIL 21', 1900. 3 1 The World as JUKKKMKnKKJJWKKUK TUB OPENING of the National leaguo proved nil nusplclous event. In every city the grounds were crowded, the crowds were wildly enthuslnHtlc. nnd the, ar ticle of ball played was of the gllt edge variety. The Interest universally taken was tho strongest argument that can bo made In renal d to the undying popularity of the sport, and tho fact that It Is, nnd will lo for Tears, this country's national panic. A week from Monday the Atlantic league Benson will open, and a team of fast playeis, tinder an ublo and ex perienced manager, will endeavor to give this city genuine base ball, an article which lias not been had hero In some, years. All of Manager P.urnham's playcrt will be in town by Monday, and will then begin practice. Tho team nlreartj gatheied upneatH to be a llrst-clnss one, and will well icprcsent Scranton la the Atlantic league. Men hui been nt work on Athletic park all week, nnd the grounds, grandstand mid bleach ers are rapidly being remodeled. In Wilkes-Kan c. the Interest In the game Is nt fever point, and tho city down the valley will. In fact, be very well represented.

Base Ball Briefs. KAFKIt, the Princeton catcher, is said to possess one of the best tin owing aims of any backstop at present on the diamond. "Hill" Clarke, the Boston catcher, In coach ing Mic team, and a few 1:ijh n;o condescended to hae a contest with the youngster, of throwing to becond base. Clarke Is one of the fastest men In his position In the league, but any eye witness of the match says that ns the two men received the ball from the twhler and threw to second, tho young collegian made tho profes sional look, like a cart-horse. Frank Ronner, formeily with Scran ton and Wilkcs-Ilarrc, Is holding down second for Itochestor this Beason, nnd In the practice games with St. Louis, Pittsburg and Cincinnati, has shown up very strong. His work against the last named team was especially bill llant, nnd he nlso proved stiong at tho hat. Second Uasoman Connor has been leleased by Chicago to the Providence Eastern League team. Catcher Sugden, released by St. Louis, has been signed by Manager Comlskey, of tho Chicago American league team. In Sugden and Wilson Comlskey will have a brace of good catchers. Sugden played In this city against Scranton, while catching for the Toronto Eastern league team, to which ho was farmed by Pittsburg. - Last year ho batted .281 In 78 games and also fielded his position well. Tho National league oipened nus plclously Thursday, the day's games being marked by several peculiar hap penings. Pitcher Amole, of Buffalo, .-.i.

Another odd feature, of the day was the terrific batting at JOUETT 5 Baseball lovers are today most enthusiastic over the prospect of a revival oi tnslr favorite game, as the season promises. Here is a picture of Jouett Aleekin, who Is ons of the best basemen in the lielJ. Tor some time he played with the Philadelphia team. He is now a member of the St. Louis club and will be seen with that team on the diamond this summer. Boston In the game between Philadel phia and the home team. Buck Free man, tho AVllkes-Bai l e boy, who last year established for himself tho name of being the champion homorun hit ter of the National league, kept up his reputation by planking his willow against tho sphere for a four-bagger. Buck was not In the game as a ipgu lar at that, but was moiely bent In to bat for Pitcher Barley. Albert Orth, tho Philadelphia twit lor, man nged to get two strikes on Freeman, but It Is chronicled that the next ball pitched Is still going.

The old warhorso claims that thero Is plenty of playing left In him, and his work in tho exhibition games seema to Indicate that he speaks tho truth. In tho game with Toronto he threw well, held both the speedyWlllls and young Bailey with ease, and at tho bat cracked out a home run and single. Manager Stalling has a very Rtrong aggregation of players at Detroit, which makes Amole's feat of shut ting them out all the more remark able.
