BROOKLYN continues to lend the
National loaRiie by a pood mnr
Kln, although Philadelphia Imi
been liiakliie a Ktioiig effoit to
close up with the men fium the
city ot churches.
New York continues to ilinK nlons?
nt the tail of the procisslon, and the
lilKh-prleed St. I.ouls team, from
which so inueh was espected, Is Kiv
Iiir New Yoik n chasu for the Ust
place on the list.
Base Dall Gossip.
,yT IS DOUUTKUI If thetc was
I ever a team In the league that
prebents such a formidable bat
tint? front as the Phillies," says a filt
er in a "Western sportlns paper. "Tile
iflrst six batsmen aie about on epeit'
with the stick as It Is possible for men
to become. Thomas, who i caches flint
about as often as any man In the busi
ness, owInK to his ability to foul off the
ball and his speed In kcUIiik to flist
on inlleld hits, leads, SIiikIo mining
next with his ability for buntliiK and
plnco hitting:, and hprlntliiK ability
added. iJelah.inty Is ni'Nt, the iu
UnowIedKed long distance hitter. I.n
Jole, equally as haid a. hitter and al
most as scientific, follows. Plkk, who
hns speed on the bases, nbllltj to bunt
or line them out and an eye for placing
the ball, comes next, while McFnilnml,
with lila famous and effective one
handed Rwlnff, brlngfl up the rear of
this sextette of the Breatest batting
line-up In the league."
President Young', of the National
lioague, sayfl ho confidently believes
Ihat Washington and Paltlmore will
be re-Installed as membeis of the ma
jor organization next year, and that
the two best of the American cities
will be given representation, thcieby
restoring the twelve-club list. I'c also
thinks the double umpire sjstein will
lo authorized by the magnates, and
other useful measures enacted f -ir the
good of the game. "Washington Is hun
gry for base bill and would pour out
money In support of a COO per cent,
club.
The owner of one of the defunct At
lantic League clubs, who denies owner
ship of his property to avoid payment
of bills against It, sold four of his
players, realizing J11C0 on the sale, and
signed the name of his manager, with
out the latver's knowledge or consent,
to the release papers, so as to be able
to make the transfer of the playeis
thus disposed of. This matter has
been refeired to the Hoard of Arbitra
tion, and will also shortly have an air
ing In the courts Philadelphia Ledger.
It Is rumored among base ball play
eis that Oliver Tebeau Is soon to bo re
moved from the management of the
St. Louis team and John McGraw Is to
succeed him. Piesldent Trank Do
Hass Robinson Is disappointed over
the showing of his high-priced team,
and has boon making an Investigation
In the causes of the slump. It Is said
lli.it Tebeau has been too lenient with
his plajein, that borne have been dissi
pating, and that theie Is a faction to
place JleUraw at the helm,
A noticeable featuie of the league
lace this season Is that the young
pltcheis have done most of the woik
for each team, as will bo noticed by
the following: Bernard, Phillies, Gar
vin, Chicago; Dlneen, Poston, llahn
and Scott, Cincinnati; Phllllppl, Pitts
buig; Canlck, New Yoik, and McOln-liit-y
and Kltson, Piooklyn. The vet
eian, Cy Young, has done the most
pitching for St. Louis, but Is closely
pushed by young Jones
Thete are eight League players who
up to and Including last Saturday's
games have made 100 or moio base
lilts, nick leading with 124, followed
by "Wagner, with lit; Slagle, 10S, Dcla
hanty, IOC; Hamilton, 105, Burkett, 101;
Keeler, 100, while Mertes and Selbach
are not far behind, with 9S and 00, res
pectively. Up to and Including last Saturday's
games the following players have

ilton, 59; Bairett, 5S; Keeler, 5S, Van
Haiti en, 59; Beaumont, 56; Stahl, 55;
Jones, 55; Beckley, 51.
Freeman, who was the champion
home run batsman last season, has
mode but flo this season, pnd has
pl-ied twenty-three games out ol M-U-ono
without getting a base hit. Tie
hau not made a homo run since the
li.lddle of Jlay unii! Monday.
Dame Humor has It that there Is a
clique In the Boston Club similar to
the one that was In the New York
dub, whose object Is to get lid of
Manager Selee and have Duffy succeed
him.
Manager Allen, of Cincinnati, is
coaching his pltcheis to watch the
bases, and In consequence theie aie
fewer bases stolen against that team
than nn other In the league.
Pitcher Peter Ilustlng. who hns been
under suspension fiom the Milwaukee
team, was yesterday released to the
Plttsbuig club.
Young, of St. Louis, In the nineteen
games In which ho has officiated this
season, has ghen but twenty-two
bases on balls.

Dining July the Phillies won ten rind
lost thliticn games, one ending in a
ill aw.
Among the Pugs
THU ONn TIMI3 invincible George
DlMin succumbed to Tommy Sul
livan, of Brooklyn, at Coney Is
land Tuesday night, In their battle at
122 pounds. The end came as the men
shaped for the seventh jound, when
Thomas O'ltouike, Dixon's chief see
jnd, admitted defeat1 for his men, and,
ilalmlng that his left arm was dls
ibled, lefused to penult him to con
tinue which left no other alternate
for the referee than to declaio Sulli
van the victor. Dixon was getting all
tho worst of tho body punching, and
Just before the close of tho sixth
rpund was looking nppeallngly toward
his corner. It was a popular victory,
and was greeted with wild cheeis.
Upon examination Dixon's left nrm
was found to be broken In two places.
Tho Fltzslmmons-lluhlln heavy
weight contest, which Is to bo decided
before tho Twentieth Century Athletic

the heavy-weight line aie now very
busy talking about tin1 rosy manner In
which Fltz will finish the Akron glanf
ritz has always had a punch which
could be lolled on to win a light and
his cleverness usually finds an oppor
tunity to land It. Huhlln's great show
ing In knocking out Sharkey shown
that Pltz has no cinch and the fact
that both men nre training In such nn
earnest manner shows that they real
ize that the light will bo one of the
haidest they have ever fought, Huh
lln has been training nt Billy Madden's
place at Bath Beach for some time
and claims to bo in such excellent con
dition that ho will easily dispose ot
Fit a In less time thnn he took to put
Shut key out. As the outcome of this
light will settle who Is to be Jeffiles'
next opponent In a championship bout,
both men w 111 do their best to earn the
decision, nnd with such big fellows
and such hard hltteis, one of the best
lights uvci seen In this country should
ttun nut".
McCoy and Cotbett have started
training for their light, which takes
place on August 30. Cotbett posted his
money Monday night with Al Smith,
and left Wednesday afternoon foi
Bath Beach, wiieie he will train with

place, accompanied by Hatty Hauls
and Billy Hlmer. He hnd not settled
on any quarters when ho left, but as
soon as these details aie ai ranged ho
will add to the number of his train
ers. McCoy and Coibett lime both
kept theinsehcs In condition, and a
few weeks' training should put them
In first-class shape.
It is not likely that Jack O'Brien will
bo seen In the ling for many months.
O'Bi ion's ribs are In such a bad way,
as a result of his encounter with
Geoige McFadden, that his phslcljn
has advised him to take a long lest.

beforo the steamer sailed that tlicy all
regretted Ten Hyck's decision not to

for a few weeks. He went to Boston
nnd raced Nelson ngalnst the advice of
his physician on Tuesday night and
since that time ho has had a l elapse.
After a consultation with his doctor
he decided to cnnccl all his dates and
will take tho rest necessary to get
strong enough to train. Ho hopes to
bo able to start In haul work In a
week or ten days, nnd then ho will
Issue a challenge to Nelson to race for
the championship and $1,000 a side.
There Is no truth In the report that
Michael refused to race because a few
of his pacemakers weie fined at
Piovldence. It Is said that as soon as
their case Is laid befoio the board of
appeals of the National C cling asso
ciation the lines will promptly bo re
mitted." Louis Johnson, at one time one ot

OUR ANNOUCEMENT to close our store during
August on Saturdays at 12 o'clock noon has brought
us such a flood of congratulations that we are
moved to take recognition of the very generous
words of our friends in this public acknowledgment. We have
made this departure in the interest of our employes, to afford
them necessary rest and recreation during the heated term, and
we believe the movement will be appreciated by them and the
public in general. We are convinced that this policy is in line
with the best business thought of the present age and we trust
that the movement will become general, thus placing Scranton
up to the spirit of the times and on a par with the larger cities
of the couutry on the question of the Saturday half holiday.
We would respectfully request the buying public to anticipate
their wants and make their purchases, if possible, before 12
noon on Saturdays, during August, and thereby place your
