Wsrattra ANOTHER week has passed In the Atlantic league raco and Mana ger Walter Burnham's team stl'.l leads. Tho men aro playing a fast, snappy game In the Held and, although their hitting haa fallen off, still they are managing to make what hits they do get at opportune times and that Is all that is necessary. The team's pitchers all proved disap pointments during the week, with tr-e exception of Kcrvln. Milllgan has been pounded haid in every game he ha3 twirled and Kennedy also has received pretty severe medicine. Kervin, how ever, pitched a splendid game at Roll ing and did finely yesterday against Newark. Toft has been doing well on the trip, batting fairly well and play ing tho backstop position in a manner which created considerable comment, the Philadelphia papers speaking very favorably of his throwing to bases. The outlleld has done the most con sistent batting and Knoll, Knox and Shefllor constitute an extremely fast trio of out-gaideners. Of tho other teams, Wilkes-Barr and tho Athletics have done thi best work. Both of these teams made a poor start, but they have only just begun to strike their pace. Billy ciy mer has an exceedingly strong aggie gation of players at WIlkes-Barre, probably the strongest batting team in the league. The Athletics aro also tr mendous hitters and fast Adders and are probably tho strongest team In tho box of any of the Atlantic leagun teams, as Conn, Duggelby and Whit ing alone, aro three as irood twlrlers as aro In the league. The Heading team has not covered Itself with glory In the last week and seems to be going backward Instead of forward. Tho Allentown team con sists of nn aggressive, fast crowd of players and the Newark nine Is also a clean cut, nice crowd of ball tossen. Jersey City and Elmtra seem the weak est teams in tho league and will piob ably be tho last two teams at (no finish, although on both nines there- nro some very clever, snappy players, who are making a determined effort to pull their teams out of the rut. Base Ball Brevities. THE CINCINNATI papeis tell a good story on "Wahoo Sam" Crawford, tho hard-hitting young ster who frisks around the Bed's right garden. Liko tho majority of base ball players Bamuel Is rather super stitious and, following the general ule, has several pet hoodoos and mas cots, Ills particular hard luck nttrac tor, ho claims to be long hair, and whenever his locks grow to any length, he begins to tremble for his batting tverage. For several straight games his season ho had great difficulty In lacing his hits safe and when tho PhUlIeu etruck Cincinnati In despair e hurried to the nearest barber and ordered that every bit of superfluous s ittittp y: ;s; ;; hair on his head bo removed. "Cut it as close ns you can," ho ordered, and as a result, when ho omeigcd fiom the shop, ho was as clobo cropped ns a convict. He jumped into the game that day and cracked out two doubles and two singles and has been hitting hard ever since. The American League out West pos sesses some extremely fast players, the majority of them, In fact, being men who only last jour were In tha National. Scianton is very well icpie &ented, several ex-members of local teams being In the clubs making up the new league's circuit. Among them are Frank Dillon, who Is playing first bdtio for Detroit; Jack O'Brien, who is In tho Kansas City left Hold; Bill Clatk, who Is holding down the Mil waukee initial has, und Eddie Buike, who Is in Buffalo's left field. "Hill" Coughlln, of this city, Is playing third base for Kansas City and Is putting up a splendid game. Tho Cincinnati papers commented most favmably upon tho woik of El mer Flick, tho Philadelphia light fielder. No light fielder, thoy .ay, ever played as .deep as ho docs, and by bo doing he pulls In dilves that would bo two and three baggers with any other outfielder. A few ycai.s ago he was offered to Cincinnati by the Day ton (O.) club for $500 and the offer was HARRY ELKES. Harry tikes, middle distance champion of the world, U now In Paris to compete in World's Championship Races at the Paris Exposition. His fastest competitor is Edouard Taylore who recently broke the hour record, 1 of used. Today ho would lnln,j fnur ten or fifteen timcM that amount. In I'lttfabuig his work excited great com ment, he nniklng seeral marvellous catches. "Billy Lauder was In Philadelphia last week and Damn Humor has It that 'the ox-Brow u uulvcislty player I is not uveiho to getting Into harness again and once more appealing on tho field In a Quaker unlfoim. There does not seem to bo an pai titular opening for Iiim. however, as young Wolvertnn is playing the thlid bag In splendid stylo at Philadelphia and is ukj bat ting at a .SOI) t lip. The umplic should note tho dirty nntlcs of Second Baseman P. O'Brien mote closely; we know that guy from old. He's Inclined to mb it Into you at every possible opportunity. Head ing Republican. That's the sort of boutpiets that have been thrown into Scranton's lively captain all along tho clicult. If tho Pirate don't look out, he'll enjoy the same icputatlon In this league that "Bad Bill" Eagan forniei ly had in Scranton. Manager Burnham haa protested Wednesday's game with tho Athletics, on account of tho awful decision of Umpire Harkins, v;hirh robbed tho team of tho game. It was such a glaring blunder that the repicsenta tivos of tho Philadelphia press present all declated that it was a most palpa ble mistake and was the only thing in fact which gave the Athletics tho game. Talking about Philadelphia, that sarno Quaker team is setting a terrific pace. Tho Slowtown lepiesentativcs always begin tho season in a hurri cane fashion, but this start la tho greatest of them all. Tho team, too, seems stionger than ever before. Every man in tho infield is bitting at over .C00 and play together like so many pieces of accurato machinery. Dolehanty and Lnjolo on first nnd sec ond based aie two towers of strength indeed. Dal is playing a far faster game nt first than nnyono suspected ho would nnd big Lnjolo Is considered the best all around player in the coun try by many of tho most thoughtful students of tho national game. His fielding this yenr Is marvellous, ns ho takes anything which comes anywhere near him. At tho bat ho Is tho tenor of every pitcher In tho league, and with Delahanty nnd Flick constitutes tho moat awful batting tilo on nny club in tho county. Flick, Thomas nnd Single make an outfield which bats way over .300, fast in tho field nnd on the bases. Slaglo and Thomas aro of tho clover, strateglo Keelcr clnes of batsmen, whllo Flick Is one of tho lads who generally rips tho hide off the ball, but can nlso play tho bunting game In an emergency. Among the Pugs. BOB FITZSIMMONS nnd Gus Ruh lln will meet Juno 1. This light ought to bo a lively one as tho Australian will certainly hnvo his hands full in taking caro of tho husky young aspirant for championship hon ors, "Kid" jrcCoy nnd Tom Sharkey havo n fight scheduled for Juno 23. In the opinion of tho exports, Sharkey will not havo a great deal of difficulty in getting away with tho nimble young exponent of tho Corbett school of fight ing. McCoy is not thought strong enough to withstand Sailor Tom's flcrco bull-llko rushes, but still hlo su perior foowork and greater activity ought to offset Sharkey's superior hit ting qualities in a measure. Champion JefCiIes has agiccd to light either Peter Malier or Joe God dard, Monday night, May 28, at Madi son S(tuio Garden. Mote hlppodtoin Ing! These bouts between champions of tho woild and men who havo gotten down to tho sub trata aic becoming lather monotonous, as ate also fights of the Flt7slinmons-Dunkhorst and Shatkey-Contoy type.

Willcca-Barrr, 10; Reading, 7. Vesterday's game at Athletic park between the Scranton nnd Newark teams was characterized by several points new to the local enthusiasts. It was Newark's first appearance here, It marked the reappearance in a Scran ton uniform of little "Hub" Knoll, it was the first shut-out Scranton has administered this season, and It was tho first errorless game the local men have rlayed this season. The game was called In Scranton's half of the sixth by Umpiio Hardlc Henderson, as it was then so dark that it was very difficult for the fielders to handle the ball with any accuracy. Young Mr. Kervin was in the box for Scranton and certainly twirled a splendid game. Ho only gave four hits, one of which, made by Ladd, was of the fungo variety, nnd struck out six men, in the fifth Inning re tiring Zearfoss, Vlau and Murphy on strikes. He was backed up faultless ly' by tho team. Vlau also pitched a good game for Newark, and kept Scranton hits well scattered, with the exception of the fifth Inning. Next to Kervin, "Hub" Knoll was tho hero, his long three-base hit In ths fifth Inning sending In two runs. In the first inning Knoll was Scran to's first man up. He was greeted with a hearty round of applause and bunted a neat one toward third, which ho beat out. J. O'Brkn tried to sac rifice him along, but bunted a little one Into the air, which ilearfoss grab bed and hurled to Conroy in time to catch Knoll off first and complete a double play. Sheftler smashed tho ball so hard that he broke his bat, but the hit was fielded and Shcff was out, Murphy to Conroy. Scranton did not score until tho third, when "Pirate" O'Brien opened the Inning with a nice single to left and Mllletick, who made his first ap pearanco In tho game for over a week, celebrated his advent by driving a terrific one which Noyes could not stopbut managed to iccover, and do ing so, threw past Conroy. O'Brien scored and Mlllerick galloped to third; Kervin drew a base on balls, nnd Knoll hit to Murphy. The latter threw Kervin out at second, but Mll lerick scored on the play. In the fifth, after Doherty and "Pirate" O'Brien had sent files to Der wln, Newark's active young center fielder, Mlllerick started the fireworks by driving a fierce one at Murphy, which the latter threw wild to Conroy. Kervin then came to the bat, hit a red hot one to left and Mlllerick, who had gone to second on a passed ball, moved to third. Knoll here made his appear ance at tho plate, and the spectators earnestly requested a home run. Tho stocky little player, whom Dan Shan non let go from his Buffalo team, picked out a nlco ono and banged It into deep left center. It was a great hit, but Derwln made a great effort to get it, and only missed it after u mag nificent run. Knoll made third base, and two runs came In. The hitting contagion took possession of J. O'Brien and he smashed out a pretty single, which scored "Hub." Shefiler finished tho Inning with a force hit. Tho only inning In which the Jersey men looked dangerous was the fourth, when HI Ladd, the first man up, was given his base on balls. Conroy flew out to the "Pirate." Buttcrmore singled to left field, and with a man on first and second and one out, It looked as though a run would come In. Derwln, however, fanned out, and Noyes batted an easy one to J. O'Brien and forced Buttcrmore. This afternoon Newark will again be played, nnd a big crowd ought to turn out. Yesterday's score follows: SCRANTON. AD. R. H. O. A. E. Knoll, If 3 12 0 0 0 J.
