THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY, JULY 2, 1900. ft u .' I The World 5!XJosoj!:;jX!jojfj:u; RECENT EVENTS In the NtUIonnl league have almost eomplet.ly chunRcd the relutlve standing In this year a race for the I" nant. Philadelphia, weakened by the absence of the' hard-hlttlnt,', fast-Ileldlne Lnjole, seems to bo utter ly demoralized and the team's hlttliifr has fallen off woefully. When a youtiR twlrler like I.eever, of Pittsburg, can let the Quakers down with two hits It can bo seen that something Is wrong With the slUKBlng department. The Boston Hean-eaters have played a plucky, uphill game and are now In fourth place and there are many who think that the men from Massachu setts are very likely to be pennant candidates. St. Louis has slid down the ladder and, with New York, brings up the tall end of the league. Urooklyn Is playing superb ball and stands wnll ndvnnced in the lead. Unnlon's nun play the same strategic, clever irumo that always characterizes a nine un der his management and the men are hitting the ball welt and Holding splen didly. The Infield works together like a fine piece of machinery and the out field Is probably the fastest all around trio of out-gardeners In the league. The pitchers are In fine form and the catchers are doing excellent work. The entire race this year Is probably the closest contest In the history of American base ball and nt this stage of the game any accurate conjecture ns to the standing at the finish Is Im possible. Right From the Bat. SCOTT, the tall Cincinnati twlrler, seems to be one of the tri-eat pitching finds of the season, and the Clnclnnntl scribes are loud In their praises of Manager Allen's judgment, In bringing him to Cincinnati from In dianapolis. Kollum, of Cincinnati, recently du plicated the feat of Amole. of Buffalo, In shutting a team out without a hit or run, by blanking the Chicago American league team. John J. O'Urien, late of the Scranton team, 'Pirate" O'Hrlen, as he was known locally, has been made captain and manager of the Oswego team. Ho Is playing second ba.se? on the team, and in tin. games played so far has made a very good Impression. The first move he made as manager was to sign his namesake, John J. O'llrlen, who played shortstop here. Hughey Jennings has struck his proper batting gait ,nd Is now crack ing the sphere out in a way which Is warming the cockles of his many friends' hearts. Jennings is fielding his position superbly and runs the bases and Injects ginger Into the team with the same energy that he did ns a Baltimore Oriole. Billy Mllllgan, the good looking, sturdily built young fellow who pitch ed In this city up to the disorganiza tion of the Atlantic league, made his reappearance in a Huffnlo uniform Tuesday at Cleveland. In the first seven Innings he pitched, his oppo nents, the hard hitting Clevelands, made one run, and In the eighth Inning rolled up six more and won the game, Mllllgan going to pieces. At the bat Mllllgan was very much In evidence, with a single and two-bagger to his credit In three times up. Jake Gettman Is doing great work with the stick at Buffalo, and It Is not Improbable that next year will find him back again In the big lengue. Atherton, the big white haired fel low who played second and third base on 'Wilkefi-ISarro's Eastern nnd At lantic league teams not long since, has been signed by Dan Shannon for his Buffalo team, and is holding down the second bag in great shape. In his first appearance at the bat on the Buffalo grounds he rnpped the ball over the fence for a home run. Hub Knoll Is doing splendid work in the Springfield center field, and Is batting fiercely. In two games with Toronto, "Wednesday, both of which were taken by the Ponies, the little ex-Scrantonlan banged out a single, double and home run. In the field he participated In a fine double play and galloped around the bases like a deer. Billy Clymer. since Joining the To ronto team, has fielded well, but hasn't batted up to the mark, and It Is said that both he nnd Second Baseman Tay lor are slated to be released, nnd two men secured for their places who will add batting strength to tho team. Donovan and Steelman, one of the winning batteries of last year's Rich mond team, are once more Itogether and make one of tho crack batteries of the Eastern league, playing on the Hartford team. Big Bill Mass?y, a former Scrnnton Idol, covers first base for that team and is pounding the leather with terrific force this year. Rlchert and Bransfleld, of the Wor cester team, are two of the most dreaded batters in the Eastern lengue and form a combination calculated to drive many a twlrler to the woods. Jack Toft Is bearing the brunt of tho catching at Springfield nnd Is do ing splendid work. "Adonis" Terry, the ex-Chlcngo pitcher, It- umpiring In the National league, and so far has done very well. He Is the twlrler off whom Ed Dele hanty. of Philadelphia, made his fam ous record of four home runs and a single In one game. Jacklltz. last year with Montreal and who caught for tho Athletics this sea son, is now playing with Minneapolis In the American lengue. Zelcler. tho young man who was ranked as a star of the very first magnitude at Philadelphia, and who ( played a fine gumo In the Athletics' j infield this season, was given a trial by Syracuse recently, and In his first performance mnde six errors at 3hort. Mr. Zclgler Is now playing In tho New York State league. In spite of Zelgler's awful work in that game, the Stars managed to draw tho game out to thirteen Innings, Springfield finally winning out. Pirate O'Brien, of tho late Scranton team, Is up to his old tricks at Oswego, WHEN IN DOUOT, Tnv STRONG AGAIN! tnODCy.lc.oo. bCAd lor IlCA book. For Sato by JOHN H. PHLEPS, Spruce street.

The Utlca nnd Schenectady teams will Thursday play a benefit game for tho Utlca catcher, Jack O'Neill, of Ml nooka, last year with Scranton, who recently had his leg broken In a game and is now receiving treatment nt a Utlca hospital. Erratic Cy Seymour, lately of New York, was Saturday released by Man ager Corulskuy, of the Chicago Amerl ctn lengue team. Cy's speed and curves nre ns great as ever, but, un fortunately, the fast southpaw has ab dolutcly no control, nnd that It what Is throwing him. Cy Is a good bats fan nnd a fair out-fleldcr and ho oufht to be able to catch on In the American or Eastern leagues ns an oiii -gardener. The batters of the National league nre led by three Phlladelphlans, Flick, .411; Lnjole, .401; Delehnnty, .394. Wag ner, of Pittsburg, Is tie with the last ni'mwl. Buck Freeman, of Boston, last year the crack home run hitter of the league, Is beginning to strike his pace nnn is now batting .310. Win Mercer, ot Xc w York, lends the out-lleldcrs, with 1,000 In fourteen games, nnd Is the poorest third baseman, with an average, of ,S00.

THE TOUHINO commltcce of the League ' of American Wheelmen has prepared six "trunk lines" cy cling routes between important and distant cities for the benefit of touting members who intend to visit the twenty-first annual meet of the L. A. W. to be held In Milwaukee July 10-15. Tho routes are as follows: 1. New York to Chicago (via Albany, Buffalo and Cleveland). 2. New York to Chicago (via Dela ware Water Oap. Scranton, Elmlra, Buffalo, through Canada and Michigan to Orand Hnven; thence across Lake Michigan by uteamer to Chicago or Milwaukee). 3. Boston to New York (via Spring field), with a branch trip through the Berkshire Hills. 4. Boston t) Albany (to connect with Houte No. 1, with a branch trip through the Berkshire Hills to the Hudson River, connecting with route No. 1 at Hudson, N. Y.) C. Boston to New York (via Provi dence, New London nnd Long Island). C. New York to Washington (via Philadelphia and Baltimore). The delegation from the Philadelphia Century club which Is coming to at tend the Natlonnl L. A. W. meet to be held In Milwaukee July 10-15, will leave the "City of Brotherly Love" on Sun day, July S, and will meet the Boston delegation at Buffalo, coming on In company from that- point. Wheelmen nnd wheelwomen who will attend the National L. A. "V. meet, to be held in Milwaukee July 10-15, will soon after their appreciate the many fine roads reaching out from the Cream City, all leading to places of In terest. To the Inland lake resorts, up and down the lake shore, around the beautiful park drives and boulevards of the city, and In fact In every direc tion, one will find excellent wheelways and Interesting sights. Merrill, Wis., Is organizing a cycling dub under the leadership of Mr. P. B. Champagne. The club will bo about SO strong nnd will nttvnd the national meet of the L. A. W. to be held In Mil waukee July 10-15, In a body making the trip from Merrill to Milwaukee awheel. On Thursday evening, July 12, tho annual smoker, which Is always the event of the National IV A. W. meets, will bo on the boards nt "Schlifz Park" and it Is safe to say that It will eclipse anything of the kind ever held before. Schlltz Park with pavllllons, observa tories and beautiful nooks Is an Ideal spot, and no better place could have been chosen for this function. Tho program, which Is not completed ns yetv will be a surprise to Wiose at tending. According to T. A. Mills, of Wllkes Barre, In the new L. A. W. Ponnsyl vanla Road Bonk sidewalk riding Is forbidden by ordinance In most of the cities, villages nnd boroughs in that district. The Wllkee-Barre city coun cil has amended the ordinance so tlat bicycles are allowed on sidewalks when tho streets are not paved with asphalt or brick. The speed Is limited to four miles per hour on sidewalks. Careful and slow sidewalk riding is also permitted In West Pittston. . . Among the Puss. Y FAR THE grent-st pugilistic surprise of the year ws that of Tuesday night when Cus Ruhlln. the Akron Giant, sent to grass Terrible Tom Sharkey, the fierce, aggressive sallorman, whose terrible rushes nnd enormous capacity for taking punish ment, has made him the bugaboo of all the big fellows In the ring. It was a battle of the giants, of strength nnd power. Clever head-work and scientific foot work did not count to nny great extent; it was the terrific driving smnehes, the heavy crushing blows that told. Two stalwart gladiators pummeled ench other with all the force given them by generous nature, and nt tho end of the fifteenth round Sharkey's bullet-like head was bowed In defeat, the Akron Giant was babbling with Joy like a child, and another pugilistic stnr had suddenly blazed out with a brilliancy that makes Ruhlln the man of tho hour. Before this fight tho big fellow was considered practically a second-rate fighter, his only previous mill of any Importance being a draw with Jeffries In ISO", before tho Intter had attained tho pinnacle that his colossal form now graces. This fight, however, gives him a permanent place among the autocrats of the ring, and the promised Thsvliave stood the test of yetrt. ana nav cured mommas 01 cases of Nsrvous Diseases, tucb a Debility, Diiilncu, Sleepless neii and Varicocele.

One of the moflt picturesque stars In tho pugilistic firmament of this coun try is rapidly waning from sight and whenever brought to view of late Its setting Is a poor one, It Is John L. Sullivan. Wednesday he was held In ball by a Now York police magistrate on tho charge of assaulting a Mr. Sny der, the proprietor of the saloon which the only John L. Is mnnnglng.

School Directors Decided Upon That Amount nt a Meeting Held In No. 1 Building Saturday Night Some of the Italian Residents of tho Borough Are Preparing for a Big Demonstration to Bo Held on Sat urday and Sunday, July 21 and 22. In tho Churches. At the rpeclal meeting of the bor ough school directors held In the direc tors' room In No. 1 school building Suturdny night, Irvln, Webber, Costel lo, MIlloCHngegrty and Spencer wero present. Upon cnlllng the meeting to order, Webber Introduced a resolution that the tax levy for the school yenr of 1900-1901, be 10 mills. President Ir vln did not put the resolution to a test vote, but discussed the advisabili ty of having a higher tax-levy, con sidering the heavy indebtedness of the board. Webber was plainly grieved nt this Juncture, nnd at the expiration of twenty minutes left his seat and the room. Tho tax levy has been a source of constant discussion among the members nnd at the two previous meetings no results weto attained. Fi nally, President Irvln submitted a res olution placing the school tax at sev enteen mills, ns follows: For general school purposes, 13 mills; for building and repairs, 2 mills; for sinking fund, 2 mills, liefore taking a vote on tho resolution, tho advisability of reducing the school from ten months to nine months was suggested ns It woudl make a difference of $2,275. It wns deemed unwise, and then Irvln's resolu tion, based on tho $:J2,7DC expenditures of hiit J ear, for 17 mills taxation,, was put e a vote. Upon tho calling" ot tho roll all tho members voted In favor of the resolution. This being the only Important question before the board, adjournment was mnde till tomorrow night, when the election of Janitors for tho different school buildings will be transacted. Coming Celebration. The Italian citizens of the borough, who can claim that part of Italy known ns Avigllano for their birthplace, will celebrate Saturday nnd Sunday.
