O 4 THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1900. M Wash Suits Is Here The assortment of natty styles is the most complete in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and it will prove mighty interesting to all mothers of boys in this city. The styles and fabrics have been greatly improved upon over last season. ' The materials, while being light and comfortable,( have, by a special process, been woven stronger and have that wear-resisting quality so necessar.y for healthy boys. We've always kept good qualities we believe it pays better in the long run, but this season we have worked harder to produce a line of Wash Suits that in point of quality, style, fit and workmanship far surpasses all our pre vious efforts. Note Our prices for Quality. m I m lTr N I JttsiBlmm The "Middy" Suit. This suit exactly represents young America on the high seas, and while being made of wash material, it is considered dressy and stylish. The children of New York's best society can be seen at this time of the year dressed in this same natty style.

Manager Iiurnhnm has not yet lecelved any message from President Powers, of the Eastern league and the chances are all against our being admitted to that cir cuit. The prospects of ouf getting into r.ny league are dark, and In all prob ability the season will comu to a close with Scrnnton teamless. The local placers are all In receipt of good offers from outside teams and are sure of good berths. President Franklin, of the Iluffalo team, and George Tebeau, o the Denver nine, were in town yes terday morning, and In the afternoon ttltnepsed the game In Wllkes-I3arre. Kervln Is In receipt of several offers, but rumor has It that he will go to St. Louis. Pirate O'Brien Is also said to be In receipt of a St. Louis offer. Mike Doherty is negotiating with the New York team, which needs a good third baseman, and Hub Knoll will probably go to Cleveland In tho American league. Mllllgan will go to Buffalo In the same league, and Kennedy will probably go to Toronto's Eastern league team, AH the other players are In receipt of good offers. IMght Off the Bat. THE LAST official figures published of the National league players' standing show that Wagner, Pitts burg's star rlghtflelder, leads the hit ters of the big league, with the great average of .416 In forty-two games. Elmer Flick, of Philadelphia, follow) with .417, and Selbach, of New York: Lajole, of Philadelphia; McQraw, of 8t. Louis; Davis, of New York; Dela hanty, of Philadelphia; Ueckley, of Cincinnati, and Pitcher Dlncen, of Boston, pro' the pther sluggers who, In the order named, make up the first ten leading batters. It seems an' odd fact that, with the exception of McQraw and Dlneen, every man of the ten Is a heavy-hitting, lons-dlstanco batter. So far In tho season, those batters of the scientific, Keeler-like class have not been hitting anywhere near their maik, McQraw being the only one to live up to his reputation, having batted .400 In twenty games. The great Keeler, of Brooklyn, has batted ,2S4 so far; Hughey Jennings, of Brooklyn, only 2R0, Dick Cooley, of Plttsbutg. .2W; Thomas, of Philadelphia, .278; Fled Clarke, the Pittsburg captain, always considered a remarkably stiong batter, has the wondei fully small record of .142 In thlrty-ono games. The leagus catchers are led by Itoblnson, of St. Louis, formerly of Baltimore; Cooley, of Pittsburg, leads tho first basemen; DeMont, of Brooklyn, the second base men, and Cross, of Brooklyn, tho third bag guaidiuns. Dahlen, another Su perlm. !s at the head of tho shortstops, and Kelly, still another Brooklynlte, stands first among tho leftfleldeis. Young Heldilck, of St. Louis, leads the centerllelders, and tho lightfielders are led by Mercer, of New York, and Donovan, of St. Louis. The New Yorker In fourteen games fielded 1.000. while Donovan in thirty-one games also has a perfect record. Monday's Philadelphia Ledger rec ommends the purchase of Mike Doher ty from Seranton to play third basa while Wolverton Is Indisposed. It also speaks of Johnnie Burns, the Wllkes Barre second baseman, as a candidate for big league honors, and mentions three pitchers ripe for National league honors: Owen, of Wllkes-Barre; Stlm mel, of Allentown. and young Dan i Kervln, of this city. Stlmmel 'has had the most experience of the three, hav ing played In minor league circles for several yeais. Kervln, however, Is th2 most piomlsing player of the trio, a in addition to being a crack young twlrler, he fields his position in splen did style, and Is one of the heaviest batters In the league. On a big league team with some veteran catcher like Itoblnson, Magulie or Fnrrell to coach him, ho ought to prove one of the twirling finds of the year. Owen has better curves than any of them and splendid control, and has proved a stumbling block to the heaviest hitters of the league, all year. Taylor, of Albany, one of the star pltcheis of the New York State league, Is a deaf mute. The New York State league has al- ...... , . 1 r .i i t WILBUR ROBINSON, ST. LOUIS' CATCHER. ready absorbed a very large number of the Atlantic league players. Mur phy, who had a brief experience at El mlra, Is playing shortstop for Blng hamton; Molesworth, also ot Elmira, Is at Schenectady; "Evans, the promis ing young Inflelder, who played with the Athletics, Is covering third for Os wego; Leldy and Kloff, of Newark, and Kennedy, of tho Athletics, are at Troy, and Catcher Coogan, of Heading, Is enacting the backstop role at Cort land. Bather, the; Wllkes-Barre catch er, has been signed by Utlca, and Is being used to do utility stunts. Other Atlantic leaguers of past years, who are local favorites, and are now In the New York clicult, are Pete Eagan, for many years a favorite outfielder In this city, who Is now on the Portland team, and Betts, who last year played left Held for Reading, and for several seasons In the Eastern league, plajed In the Wllkes-Barre outfield, and also pitched. Is with Utlca. He signed as an outfielder and has been several times given a turn on the rubber and has done magnificent work. Jlmmy " Jan, of this cltv, who has been earning all sotts of honors at second base for Elmira, and who at the bteak up of that team went to Os wego to play there, changed his mind and has signed with Cortland Instead. Jimmy Is playing the game of his life this year and will prove one of the fastest second basemen In the New York league. The briefest statement compatible with good Judgment Is that Seranton shut out Wllkes-Barre 8 to 0. Mllll gan, the left-handed southpaw, had his left-handed splko of his left shoe thor oughly grounded and there was no slip-up. Four hits were our sum to tal and they were scattered along so far apart they were forgotten. Can't do much scoring on absolutely perfect fielding and such a paucity of hits. Even In the third, with three on bases and nothing charged against us In the out column, Mllllgan was Invincible. Shannon better take Mllllgan home and use him on his Pan-Am wrecked crew. Wllkes-Bano Hecord. That's what Harry Merrill had to say about the game Burnham's men put up against the Barons Monday. Mllllgan Is needed at Buffalo, and It Is surprising that Dan Shannon hasn't pulled the string on him long before this. The hard-hitting southpaw Is a far better pitcher than many of tho aged, sprained twlrlers hobbling around tho American league, and with good support would win the majority of his games. Dan Shannon made a mistake In leaving him go and Just as big a one In dropping Knoll. The little outfielder Iibb been fielding magnifi cently and batting like, a Trojan over since he put on a Seranton uniform, and has been badly needed by the Bi sons. Jack Shearon. who has been taking Knoll's place, Is a hard sticker, but not nearly tho all around player that the little fellow Is. Knoll Is bat ting harder this year than he did last. He draws as many bases on balls as ever, and can worry any pitcher In the league Into presentlng-vhlm his bag, and In addition has been making long drives, mostly for extra bases, with a frequency which made him one of the most dreaded batsmen throughout the circuit. Jack O'Neill, who last year caught for Seranton, and has recently been doing splendid work behind the bat for Utlca, broke his leg In a game last week between Utlca and Schenectady, while making a long slide to second base. It Is likely that a benefit will be given for him. Buck Freeman has not been bat ting In anything like his last year form this season at Boston. The Wllkes-Barre boy was secured by Se- lee, who thought that he would prove a great acquisition to the batting strength of the team. His wonderful record of twenty-five home runs last season, It was expected, would bo easily broken this year, on the small Boston grounds. Buck opened the season In a way that seemed to lend credence to the glowing reputation ho bore. In the first game of the year ho was sent to bat for Pitcher Bailey and hit the ball over tho fence. In the fol lowing few games he drove out a cou ple more four-baggers, and the Bean eaters could see another pennant float ing above tho grounds. He then let down a bit, however, and has hit only .286 In thirty-five games. The Boston management has great confidence In him, however, and he Is being given a thorough trial In right garden. Once Buck again strikes his pace the league pitchers will have cause to tromble.

PROBABLY the pugilistic figure which Is at present uttractlng more local attention than any of the lighters before the public Is the stocky one of little Tetry McOovorn, champion bantam weight pugilist of the world, who will appear In the city this afternoon. McGovcrn, since his conquest of Pedlar Palmer, tho Eng lish cluunjion, lias been knocking out with staitllng rapidity and frequency every man In his class he has ncnun tered, and Is proving one of the great est boxers of tho day. Ills most re cent victory was lript Tuesday night, when ho knocked out Tommy White, of Chicago, in llf third tound of what was to have been a 23-rouml bout, easily putting his opponent out of the fight, though the latter Is recognized as a clever, aggresMve fighter and a good ling general, and had the advan tage, moreover, phvslca'ly, being taller n'ld scvei.il poundo heaier. And yet this whirlwind of n fighter, this little demon, as ho Is lapldly becoming known, Is a little lc-lluw, about live feet two Inches tall, and weighs 120 pounds. Ho Is piobably the greatest I pugilistic favorite In the country out side of the big fallow 8. and even at that would give the champion heavy weights a run for popularity Won. Lost.
