I HU BASK BALti season of 1900 Is
now at tin end, nntl with tno mat
game o the season comes the
UBUal regrets and mlffht have
beena always attendant upon the
termination of a year of the national
sport. Tho American league has
proved the money-making association
of the country and litis mot with un
usual success, so great, in fact, that
already the western magnates two talk
ing of invading the east and granting
franchises to Baltimore, Washington,
and, mayhap, another city which
would support a team playing in fast,
gingery company.
The National league season has been
more or less of n failure, tho reduction
of the circuit from twslvc to eight
clubs not proving an unqualified suc
cess. Brooklyn again cantered away
with tho pennant and yet base ball in
terest was dead In the trolley-dodging
section of Greater New York. Only
during the short period when the
Pittsburg Pirates were making their
great spurt to overcome the Suporba's
lead did tho public manifest nny great
interest. But, then, the policy of the
management was rather smnll and on
several occasions base ball enthusiasts
were maddened by rudenesses and in
dignities at the grounds which caused
them to transfer their patronage to
the tall-ending Now Yorkers.
If during the season of 1901 tho
Brooklyn team could be transferred to
New York, and with u few of the
Giant stars retained, represent the
city It would be un excellent move.
Nov York Is a splendid ball center,
and has rarely been represented by a
top notcher team. As the metropolis
of tho country it should stand among
the first in advocating the nutionul
game, and with the team of Brooklyn
hturs representing New York, a high
pitch of enthusiasm would bo reached.
This year George Davis and his men
alwuys enjoyed the sympathy and sup
port of the fans, and indeed they mer
ited It. After Buck Kwing gave up the
helm and the great Giant short stop
took charge the men played fine ball,
winning, In fact, about thirty-nine out
of seventy-live games played. There
were several magnificent individual
players on the team, splendid batsmen
and excellent fielders.
In Pittsburg more Interest was
manifested in the game than In any
city on the circuit. Had Fred Clarke
and his men won out, they would
have fairly owned tho Smoky City, but
lomlng In second as they did, they
must be content with the position and
resolve to go in and win next season.
In Philadelphia roseate visions were
seen at the beginning of the season of
a, Quakifr City pennant, but, alas, they
were doomed to disappointments, and
Captain Ed Delehanty and his Quak
ers arc found crawling along disconso
lately in third place. Boston, with its
team of somewhat ancient but never
theless still bright and scintillating
stars, is found in fourth place, and the
i 'hlcago youngsters and brilliant ag
gregation of St. Louis stars ar tied
for the fifth honors. Fifth place is a
sad disappointment to the Missouri
rooters, who expected to see a team
with "Muggsy" McGraw at the head
in at least the first division, but the
fates willed otherwise. Cincinnati
came in only a few points ahead of
New York, but had the season lasted
a few days longer the Giants' desper
ate playing would have sent them
ahead of John T. Brush's men.
Right off the Bat.
UNOFFICIAL averages printed of
the standing of this year's Na
tional league batsmen shows bis
"Honus" Wagner, the versatile Pitts
burg right fielder, to lead the big fol
lows with tho wand. The ex-Atlantic
leaguer punished the horse hide to tho
tune of .392, and besides leading in
percentages also stands in the first
rank of the "sluggers." "Honus" has
a happy faculty of landing on tho ball
for two und three-baggers, with an
occasional homo run added for varie
ty that is calculated to drive tho aver
age pitcher to the woods. Ever since
his debut into tho National league as a
member of the Louisville Colonels,
AVagner has been a bete noir to Na
tional league twlrlers, Inst year stand
ing sixth among the batsmen who
had played in over seventy games.
Wagner is an ideal player. Since his
National league advent he has played
nearly every position on a team. He
has been stationed nil over the outfield,
on all the bases and has even been
used on one memorable occasion In the
box. He is possessed of one of the
most powerful throwing arms of any
player in the business, and for a big
man is very fast on his feet, standing
high among the base runners. Wag
ner is followed by Pitcher Jesso Tnn-
uehlll, who hus played in about thirty
live games nnd picked off a largo Juicy
average. Little Willie Keeler, of
Brooklyn, Is next. Willie made a bad
start this season, but recovered and
worked his way up by diligently using
his little hickory. Close aftor tliesu
comes Elmer Flick, of Philadelphia,
who led the league for u long time.
Jesso Hurktitt, of St. Louis, unci Na
poleon Lajole, of Philadelphia. Al Sol
bach leads tho New York team with
tho flno average of ,311. Buck Free
man, who, when a Wushlngtou Sena
tor In '93, mado twenty-llvo hoiuu runs
nnd almost countless triples and
doubles, batted .324 this season for
Boston, and has a homer record of
about five, which wouldn't ho bad for
an ordinary lnng-distanco hitter.
Patrucido Donovan leads tho lenguo
In base running, with fortyfour pur
loined cushions, which iv.Uly Isn't so
many when wo think of thu way Ham
ilton ami l.uthuin m.'d to tun thu
bases, nnd oven of Sheckard'a record
at seventy-eight last season. Had
?"hecknrd played ivgulurly throughout
his year ho would again havo led,
us his liuno running record for the
games ho participated in Is much bet
ter than t'he St. Louis man's.
Tho Philadelphia team spent tho
greater part of Inst week in playing
leml-profcsslonal teams, On Mouduy
"Chester was vanquished i to 2, Town
send, who twirled for Chester, fanned
out eight of the Phillies, who secured
but six hits off his delivery, Tho
Quakers played Petio Chiles on first
base and Captain Dslehanty aguln ap
. poured In the outfield. Wednesday the
Itoxborough team downed the Quak
ers, causing the big fellows to blush
with shame, biting dust to the air
of 10 to 9. Danny Kervln, the ex
Scranton pitcher, played center Held
Car Itoxborough. Old Joe Ounsoo
of Sport.
caught behind the bat nnd Charlie
Nyce was on first base. Thursday
Chester vanquished tho big Leaguers.
It is now rumored strongly thnt Cin
cinnati hns opetied negotiations for Joo
Kelly, and that hu will succeed Bob
Allen ns tho manager of the
Bods. Brooklyn can got along
without Kelly, as Schccknrd would
provo a most able substitute.
Kelly would, however, bo m Ideal
manager for Cincinnati nnd would
also prove a strong addition to tho
(Hods' colt outfield.
Brooklyn, by taking three out
of the four extra gamo3 played
with Pittsburg, wins tho prlzo
cup offered to tho winner of
the series. Tho Brooklyn players de
cided to present tho trophy to "Iron
Mnn" McGlnnlty, the tireless young
pitcher, whose- efforts, inoro than any
thing, they say, brought the pennant
to Brooklyn.
On the Wrestling Mat.
MJ. DWYER, teacher of physical
culture, and wrestler, Thursday
afternoon received the follow
ing telegram from Frank Gehlo, of
Ploua, O.. in response to u letter sent
him by Mr. Dwyer replying to his ac
ceptance of tho challenge Issued by
the culturlst: "Postpone match. Any
night after Oct. 29 suits me."
The mutch will bo wrestled under
tho uuspiccs of the Scrnntou Bicycle
club. The club house on Washington
avenue will bo the scene of the bout,
and Mr. Dwyer wrote Mt. Gohlo tell
ing him that Oct. 29 would be a con
venient date. Tho telegram was tho
answer to his communication.
November 2 has now been decided
upon, and the event will then take
place. It will bo for $100 a side, with
the winner to take the entire door re
ceipts after all expenses aro paid. The
Bicycle club will Issue special invita
tions for admittance to members and
their friends.
The wrestling will be done in tho
ball room, the mat being placed in the
center of the floor und seats being ar
ranged around it.
If Mr. Dwyer wins tho match he
will accept the challenge of Leonurd,
of Newark, N. J. Gehlo is the middle
weight wrestler of Ohio, and had a
bout with Dwyer two years ago at
Dayton, O., which resulted In Gchle's
finger being broken after an hour's
work and the match being brought to
a sudden end.
Dwyer, when stripped, weighs 165
pounds, and the Ohio man has the ad
vantage of him both in stature and
weight. He weighs about 170 pounds
and whereas Dwyer stands 5 feet 8
Inches, Gelile is 5 feet 11 inches tall.
Dwyer expressed himself to a Trib
une man Thursday night as follows:
"Gehle is a splendid wrestler, and I
anticipate an evening of hard work
when I meet him at the Bicycle club.
He is strong and hardy, and I think
when wo come together we will afford
everyone present an evening of thor
ough interest."
The following letter was yesterday
received at 'The Tribune from Mr.
Gehlo:

U 111 Ik
Punts and Drops.
CHHISTY MATTHEWSON, tho big
FactoryvUle boy, who Is playing
such a splendid full back for Buck
noil, was last Saturday protested
by Lohlgh. As a result Mottliow
son was kept out of the game
nnd the Bucknell team greatly
weakened by ills absence, lost the
match, 12-0. Tho fact that Matthowson
played professional ball this season
with tho New York team occasioned
tho objection to him.
Another member of the famous
Rlggs family, of Baltimore, hus on
to ed Princeton, and is playing sub loft
tackle for old Nassau. Tills family,
with tho Pocs, has given Princeton foot
ball warriors galore, Tho KIggs' are
neatly nil players In tho line, being as
a rule, big, heavy Individuals, whereas
tho quick, agile little Poes are found
either on tho ends or In tho back Held,
Perry Halo is maklm; u splendid full
back for Yale, Lust year thlH enorgutlc
player put up it magnificent gamo at
center for the sons of Ell, although a
much lighter man than tho nvorugo
playur who is stationed In tho snap
back position, Ho hus done lino work
bo far this season bucking tho line with
terrible force. Under able coaches he
Is being developed Into an excellent'
kicker and In Wednesday's gumo witl
Bowdoin ho did not miss a single one
of the live goals from touchdowns,
Big Huberts, Harvard's L'75-pound
frcbhmun center, Is beginning to round
Into some kind of fotm und tho Crimson
coaches are beginning to hope that
they will muko un exceedingly able
player out of the giant. Lewis and
Doucette, Harvard's great center play
ers, daily buck up against the fresh
man, and worry and harass him Into
a wholesome activity,
Chief among today's big games aro
tho Princeton-Lafayette match ab Mas
ton, nnd the Pennsylvania-Columbia
tussle at Philadelphia. Harvard meets
West Point on the lattcr'A grounds,
nnd Yalo nnd 'Wesleynti will batllu at
Now Haven. A large number of Scran
tonlnna will nttend tho gamo at Easlon
and root for Lafayette. Tho latter team
has great hopes of holding down tho
Tigers, and some of tho Easton boys
aro even sanguine of success. While
the eleven Is mndo up of several now
men they nto all good ones, and tho
team is especially strong behind tho
line. Cure, the now full bnck, is de
pended upon to accomplish wonders.
In Thursday's practice ho averaged iii
yards to his ptlnts and ho is nlso likely
to drop a field goal against tho brawny
men from old Nassau. Ho weighs 100
pounds and when he hits tho line, tho
opposing line men are awaro of tho
fact.
Columbia Is also living In hopes of
downing Pennsylvania. The labtcr'a
wretched showing against Stute, com
bined with Columbia's splendid work
In tho late practice comblno In tilling
tho henrts of tho Now York enthusiasts
with Joyful anticipation. However,
Coach Woodruff will not put any crip
pled team In tho Hold today, as ho did
against State, and the cloven which
will lino up against Columbia will rep
resent tho strongest" foot ball playing
clement In thu Institution.
DECISION IN POLICE MATTER.
One May Be Handed Down Soon by
the Supreme Court.
There may bo a final settlement of
the complicated question ns to the right
of the mayor of a thlrd-clas3 city to
remove policemen without the consent
of select council, before the interested
parties lti tills city expected thero
would be.
Mayor Moir locelvcd a letter yester
day afternoon from Mayor Kobert J.
Black, of McKcesport, who announced
that a similar case to the ono now
pending in the Superior court, between
Patrolman Saul and the city of Scran
ton, would come up for argument next
week before tho Superior court in ses
sion at Pittsburg and that an early de
cision Is hoped for.
It will lie remembered that Mayor
Black i amoved a number of policemen
nnd that they applied lor a mandamus
to compel his honor to reinstate them.
This mandamus was refused by court,
and tho ofllcers clubbed together nnd
appealed tho case to tho Superior court.
The case differs from the Suul casp,
Inasmuch as tho latter is a suit for sal
ary, whereas the McKcesport otllceis
are merely after a reinstatement to
their position. The same questions are
involved in both, however, the Alle
gheny county judge having decided
that a policeman is a public ofllcer, and
as such removable by the mayor with
out action of council, as piovideu in
the constitution.
Judge Archbald held that a police
man was not a public officer, and was
therefore not removable by the mayor
without tho consent of select council.
If a decision is handed down In tho
case by tho Supremo court It will, of
course, settle the matter and Mayor
Moir would undoubtedly withdraw his
appeal to the Superior court.
WANTED TO KEEP CREDIT GOOD.
Emery Ehrgood Said the City Was a
Hard Creditor.
Mayor Moir was sitting in his office
in the municipal building yesterday
morning when he was aroused from his
work by a loud voice at his left elbow.
"Be you Mayor Moir?" said the
voice, and looking around tho mayor
saw that he was being addressed by an
elderly looking farmer.
"Yes, I'm the mayor: what can I
do for you?" he responded.
"Well, I owe you $3 nnd I want to
pay it," lcplicd his visitor.
"I don't know you," said the mayor,
"and what's more you don't owe me
any $3. I never saw you before."
"Oh, yes you did to. My name's
Emery Ehrgood and I'm from Moscow.
I got pulled in for bein' drunk everv
little while and when I don't have tho
money to pay my tine, why, the chief
lets me go until I come into town
again when I always pay up."
The mayor explained that he'd havo
to settle with the chief and remarked
that ho (Ehrgood) was a pretty honest
sort of a fellow to come in and pay up.
"Well, you see," said Mr. Ehrgood
nalevly, "I've got to keep my credit
with the city good before I pay other
creditors. Tho city's a pretty hard
ci editor and if I should ever be pulled
up again I want to bo able to say that
I don't owe her nothing."
Saying this, Mr. Ehtgood started for
tho chief's office to "keep ills credit
good."

Autumn Dress Goods
When we say (as we do say) that there never was such another showing as this
any Scranton store, we speak with the calmconfid. .ce of accurate knowlodge. Fact
as big as this need no verbal embroidery: No exaggeration could be bigger than
many of our simple truths. Largest in quantities, greatest in varieties, supreme ia
exclusiveness, unrivalled in beauties. A quartette of stout claims.
Add a fifth we permit no lower price than our lowest price. Whatever we sell
is fairly priced, and no price is fair that is higher than others ask for the same qual
ities. So, when we say fair prices, we say it all.
It was reserved for the style setters of this season to give the most positive dis
tinction to plain weaves. Their mandate is praiseworthy and purely sensible. Ail
women admire and desire the simple elegance of unobtrusive fabrics. We give im
pulse to the prevailing tendency by offering unusual values in Broadcloths, Vene
tians, Camel's Hair Serges, Poplins, Whipcords, Prunellas and other weaves. Tha
quotations represent an effort to convey an idea of the true goodness of these materi
als. However, types have proved incapable of performing the task. Eyesight is out
main reliance. Come and see the displays. That's the convincing way.
English Broadcloths, 54 inches wide, $1.25, $1.50, $a
English Cheviots, 54 inches wide $2.00
Venetians, 54 inches wide $i.a5. $1.50, $3.00
Camel's Hair, 54 inches wide $2.50
Satin Soliels, 54 inches wide $2.50
English Suiting, 54 inches wide. .$1.25, $1.50, $1.75
Poplins, 48 inches wide $1.00
All in such popular colors as grays, browns,tans,gornets,cardinals.blues,greens,heliotropeSOld rose.etc.
Chapter II About Black Dress Goods
Knowing ones predict an increased popularity for black dress fabrics this fall and winter. There seems
to be much plausibility in the prophesy, judging from this remarkable collection, enlarging almost
daily. Makers have been vieing with each other toward th.it end. Never h.ive thev produced designs
in black gooJs so rich, never variety so extensive. Perhaps this is more particularly true of the Vene
tians, Prunellas and Camel's Hair effects. And there's a vast number of fine silk and wool fabrics hera
now. Altogelher the gathering is an inleresting one woith studying. Visit the Black Dress Goods
