W
TUB CLOSH of this week of tho At
Innllc league season finds Scran
ton dislodged from the proud
position of Hi st In the race, and
forcd Into second place. Billy
t'lymer and his Wllkes-Bnrre Coal
Barons have played beautiful ball, and
now load the league. Elmlra Is at tho
foot of tho ladder nd seems there fo.
good, as Newark, Allcntown, Rending
and Jersey City, all of whom are close
together, arc playing a far superior
article of ball to that put up by tho
New Yorkers.
Burnham's men havo fielded beauti
fully so far, but havo not, hatted very
btrongly, and the pitchers havo not yet
rounded entirely Into form. Young
Kcrvlii, Is the only man who has dono
hlmseK Justice on the rubber, but Mll-
llgan and Kennedy are now striking
their tipeed, and as soon as Indian
TamleJion's ankle has healed and he
can pit Into the game, Scranton will
bo as Acll represented In the box as
any team In the league.
Right Off the Bat.
SCRANTON has nex'cr been ropre
s( nted in any league In which
there weie such a large number
of hJ.rd-hlttlng battery players as
this piescnt Atlantic league. The old
Idea, however, that u catcher or
pitcher, paitlculaily tho latter. Is nee
essnril f u weak batter Is being done
away 'Aith, and the twlrleis and back
stops nro lining 'em out with a ferocity
almosit appalling. Soianton leads In
hard-hitting pltcheis. Kervln, Milli
gan u.nd Jamlcson nro three of tho
hardent hitters on tho team, and Ker
vln in particular seems tho batting
find ol the Atluntlc league. Kennedy
Isn't u slouch with tho stick either,
but cMi albo bat a few. The Wilkes
Bairo twlrleis, particularly Magle and
the mini with tho vegetable cognomen,
Sir. Giullflowcr, arc also fair stickers.
Even burdened with that name, Coll
last yiar hit .311 in tho National lea
gue and up to date In the Atlantic, in
eleven games, banged out .409. Ills
swatting powers have led to his being
playedi regularly in right field. Magle
only played In four or five games, but
hit it up for .37.r in them. The Athle
tics hii.vo in Conn, "Whiting and Dug
glety Ihree men who can bat like a,
trio 01! fiends, and on tho Jersey City
team Josh Keener biffs thc leather
vigorously. For Newark Mr. Vlau Is
consldi ruble at the bat, and of the
AllcnU'Wn twlrleis Stlmmcl, the elon
gated, nine - Inch - complacent - grln
wea'ilnir man, can occasionally Imptlnt
his mark on tho ball 'by viciously
banging it out. Eason is Elmlra's
best all-around twirjer, and is a fair
batsm.i.n. As for tho catchers, some
of tho very best batters In the league
are found among them. Mossitt, of
Wilken-Bnrrc, Is a dangerous batsman
to any pitcher, Coogan and Fo, of
Heading, arc both hard hitters, Jack
lltsrh. of tho Athletics Is one of the
best hitters on that team of hard-hit
ting youngsters, and at Jersey City
Byers, who last year played with
Paterson. has gotten In two or thrco
hits In almost every game he played
this season. And most of them were
good long drives at that. McManus,
of Alh-ntown, Is a good hitter, nnd
Accoratlni, Elmlra's Italian catcher, Is
one of the best hitters on tho Elmlra
t"am. Millerlck, of Scranton, is also
a fair batsman.
Pat O'Brien, Scranton's second base
man, bolds one kind of a record he
has bien put out of seven games by
the nreplie. Allcntown Chronicle and
News. Poor Pirate! Ills lecord of
foui benehlngs is a rather somber
hued 0'ie, but It Is not as black as tho
Allentuwn paper makes him." And not
only that, but they must change his
Christian name of John J. to Patrick.
Tho sumo paper makes the following
comma nts regarding the Scranton
team: In Kervln Scranton has a
pitcher who has speed, endurance and
Judgment Wo will bo greatly mis
taken tf he will not turn out one of
the bent twhlcrs in tho league. "Old
Hobs" f'chefller made one of the finest
catcher of the day in right Held. He
fell with the ball but held on to the
sphare.
The vrork of Virgil Garvin, the tall,
slim young pitcher who, when he play
ed last year with Reading, was tho
terror of every Atlantic league bats
man, has been exciting universal
comment this year. He Is now in tho
box foif Chicago and Is pitching splen
did ball. It is doubtful if any pitcher
ever rerelved so much favorable criti
cism fGC a lost game as did this same
Garvin for the gamo he pitched Mon
day against Philadelphia, which ho
lost by one run. He made himself
solid with the Chicago fans bj mak
ing the mighty Ed Delehanty fun out
three times. Slnco Delehanty mado
Ills great lecord of four homo runs
nnd a single off Adonis Teny at Chi
cago, the "Windy City funs havo re--garded
the big Quaker as something
a bit unearthl, and when he steps to
the bat they anticipate a plunk against
the fence or at least u crashing single
And so when the lean, Garvin caused
Pel to almost break his bat poking at
his deceptlvo little curves and shoots,
he certainly bcored a big hit. The
Chicago News remarks about him:
"Tho consensus of opinion seems to
bo that In Garvin Chicago has a
pitcher of tho Ruslo and Cy Young
type for speed nnd nil tho marvelous
control and twists of a McGInnlty, .1
Callahan, a McJames combined. 'He
la tho only man thut I ever saw out
side of this Nigger Wilson, who can
bhlft from tho overhand to tho under
hand or side throw and retain eon
tiol," Is tho remark of one old oily
league player. 'It is wonderful and
I think Chlcugo has as good a man
as ever spiked tho grass in that, tall
slim fellow. Ho needs somo hitting
behind him, though, when he can hold
the PhllKes down two runs and lose.' "
Manning, of Kansas City, must feel
pretty Bore at having let Johnnie
Burns go. Ho released tho Avocu lad
, early this season without giving him
a chance, declaring that he wasn't
good enough batter for tho American
league. Billy Clymcr, who played side
by side with Burns all last season,
made an eager grab for him, and
Burns so fnr this season at Wllkes
Barro has batted over .COO. True, tho
Atlantic league Is not the American
league, but nevertheless theros) are
some pretty foxy propositions In the
pitching department, and Burns would
probably haVo batted considerably
w - .300 at Kansas City. Burns twas
a member of the Moosio team that
played the Young iMen's Christian as
sociation team of this city here several
years ago. Among tho other members
ot that team wne Catcher O'Ncll, now
with Syracuse, and l.uckey. who pitch
ed for Wilkes-tlan e's Eastern league
team a few seasons past. .
O'Ncll, who last yoai caught for
Scranton, is still hanging on with
Syracuse's Eastern league team. Th
ILL It. BItOWN, the greatest
long dlstanco road rider In the
world, is a remarkable example
ot what bicycling will do towards
making a sick mnn noil nnd strong.
When Brown began riding the bicycle
several years ago he was the victim ot
that Insidious disease, consumption.
His was a very bad case.
By tho advice of a friend ho took to
bicycle riding as a gentle means of ex
ercise. Tho advice of the friend was
turned In an opposite direction when
Urown became such an ardent 'cyclist
that nothing would satisfy him but
century tuns. Tho demands upon his
vitality were severe, but strangely
enough Brow n began to strengthen and
gain flesh from his self-imposed pun
ishment Ho soon began to develop Into
not only a speedy rider, but a rldor of
vast endurance, easily surpassing h's

class, but between him nnd McCoy
theio Is a vast difference, and the
spectators at tho bout aio not likely
to got their money's Avorth In any part

Tho Fltzslmmons-Ituhlin fight is the
only one exciting any particular in

injury to his hand has postponed tho
bout awhile, as tho Akion Giant was
only too anxious to let Uob have tho
needed respite, as ho declares ho wants
him in tho best of condition when they

man of tho two, but Fitzslmmons Is
old in ring craft and will give tho

Decline in Cotton Is Itondorod, Sen
sational Tho Wool Market
Healthy.
New York, May 23. P.. (. Dun &
Co "s Werkl Hevlew of Tiade tomoi-
iow will say:
The decline In cotton was lendeted
.sensational by the failuie of the fiim
which had most strongly resisted It,
and for some months had led the cam
paign for high pi Ices In the belief
th.it stoekft for the test of this year
would scaicely meet demands with tho
next ciop In doubt The couise of tho
market for some months to come can
not well bp piedlcted, as provision for
the future has been made by spiuneis
on both sides of the ocean. ,
The weakness In wool, as yet not
enough to piompt heavy buying, has
hindered tieo puichase of goods with
out doubt, and thete la of late some
what moie complaint of cancellations
nnd of slow collections. Hut the mar
Ket Is waiting lathei than unhealthy;
with quick adjustment to a lower
i.inge of pilces for mateilal It might
soon become as nctle n.s at any other
time for ycais. The nominal pi Ice of
bessemer pig is held without change
at Plttsbuig and without transactions.
Sudden and extensive ihnuges aio now
leported in leather nnd boots and
shoes, apparently resulting from the
unyielding refusal of many dealers to
lilac e anything like their usual orders
for tho season at pi Ices iccently asked.
Concessions aie now lepoitod of 2'a to
fi cents per pair In leading giadco for
which such 1 eduction was not lepoited
a week ago so that the genoinl decline
aveiagcs about 3 per cent. The move
ment of bieadstuffs have not inutoi tal
ly changed.

upon cotton, which declined seven-

week have been 185 In tho United States
ngnlnst 142 last year, nnd 20 in Can

In tho Morning Thoro Was a Btroot
Parade, and in tho Afternoon and
Evening Wonderful Exhibitions
Woro Given Under tho Big Spread
of Canvas Adjoining tho Carnival.
Somo of tho Most Marvelous of
Many Acts Oivon by tho Performers.
Wallace's great circus yesterday di
vided honors with tho Klks' Midway
Carnival as an nttractlon for Scran
tonlan.s and the multitude of outsiders
In town. At tho evening performance
they stopped selling tickets and hun
dreds were turned uway.
In tho morning a street parade was
given nnd when tho grand pageant ap
peared sit 2 o'clock in the big tent in
the afternoon there were between eight
and nine thousands persons present.
The entertainment given was a good
one nnd was thoroughly enjoyed by the
vast number of children present nnd
tho vaster number ot elders who had
brought tho aforesaid chlldicn to wit
ness the exhibition. The Ash street
grounds were the scene of tho circus,
the tents being erected a stone's throw
from tho Klks' booths and as a result
the combined hum und bustle produced
a most unique effect, the harsh, clang
ing music of tho Midway Indian band
mingling with the strains sent from
the Wallace tent by C. Z. Uronson's
nggiegatlon ot excellent musicians.
On npproachlng tho big tent the us
ttal miscellaneous collection of side
show attractions were presented, ev
erything In heaven, land and bea being
on exhibit fiom Fatlma, tho pride ot
tho Orient, cown to Major Bones, the
ossified man.
SOME OP Tim FEATURES.
The circus performance Itself was
given on an elevated stage In tho mid
dle of the nicna and two rings. The
usual number of thillttng trapeze acts,
lady bare-back performers, Jugglers,
etc., were In evidence and among the
most unique performance was the Nel
son family, which is composed of ten
ncrobats, whose performance Is fairly
wonderful Tney range In age from
a man well on In life to a tiny tot of
three, Aho is brought on tho stage In
a hand satchel, from which she
emerges w Ith a bow and celebrates her
advent by doing several remarkable
stunts. 15ack springs, hand springs,
any kind of springs are easy for this
India rubber family and they certainly
scored a tremendous hit with the spec
tators. Eddie Plnaud, eccentric bicycle rider,
Is another man who took the tent by
storm. Mr. Plnaud is tho chunky, ac
tive little fellow who was last season
seen at tho Gaiety theater In his act.
His riding costume Is an exceedingly
comical looKlng dtess suit nnd he can
do almost everything Imaginable Avlth
his wheel, doing one of tho best acts
ever seen In this city.
The Stlik family, composed of nine
very clever bicyclists, also gave an
exhibition which was a treat, one of
the cyclists being a tiny fi-year-old tot
who rode a miniature blcvcle.
A number of lithe nnd graceful Jap
anese ncrobats accompany the show,
who gave a splendid tight-rope walk
ing and Juggling exhibition. One of
them did a unique rope act by sliding
down the taut line backward and an
other gave a wonderful Juggling act.
Ho lay on his back and manipulated
with his feet, not a ball nor a bairel,
but a little Jap, whom he shot Into
the air and twisted around with the
same ease that the ordinary performer
does a ball or any of the usual proper
ties used.
There were also several veiy well
executed animal acts In the earlier
part of the pel formance a quartette
consisting of an elephant, a horse, a
dog and a grotesque looking Darwinian
specimen of the genus monkey giving
a pleasing exhibition, It being brought
to a close by a grand finale in which
the elephant ildes out on a bicycle
w ith the ease of an Eddie Hald.
The Earl sisters did several splendid
trapeze acts and also gave a graceful
dance. About a dozen clowns were In
the ling and kept the audience In good
humor by giving but lesques on every
thing Imaginable from a ball game to
Sousa's band.
The big crowd of people was handled
with the greatest ease, there being
no disorder or confusion of any sort.
Chief of Police Robllng was on the
grounds nnd personally directed the
huge number of patiolmen present,
several ot whom weie uniformed, al
though the majority wore citizens'
clothes. Sevcial special officers and
detectives were also on hnnd.
