THE SCRANTOK TRIBUNE- SATURDAY, , MAItCH 23, 1901.

Sports
of Many Kinds.
THE TOURNAMENT of the North
eastern Pennsylvania Howling
league was concluded Tuesday
night by the splendid match
gntnp between the Hlks nnd
Went End Wheelmen. The stand
ing of the teuniH nt this finish wait ex
ceedingly Riitlsfuctory to all who have
followed the progiess of tin; turna
ment, nnd there are none who (trudge
the Commercials the ullver cup they
won so handily and disposed of ho
cavalierly.
The bowling of thin season' touitia
ment was far superior to that of laBt
year both In Individual and team work.
Last season the high average was that
of Charles Weichel of the Elks, who
made a trifle over 160 In eighteen
games. Hopkins of the linckim team
lias 171 for twenty-four games this
year, and numerous men passed the
160 mark.
The totals scored by each team me
as follows: Commercials, lS.MJ, team
average, ir7',i Elks, 18,777, team aver
age, ISGVfc: llackus, 18,534, team aver
age, ll,"; Seranton Uleyole club. 18,367
team average, Ifi.t; West End Wheel
men of Wilkes-Harre. IS.O'JD, team
average, 1"0?J.
Field of the Commercials had a
higher average than Hopkins, but his
178 was made In but nine games,
whereas the Hackus captain was In the
contest throughout the season. In 1900
the star Individual score was made by
Wilght of Wilkes-Barre. This year a
man from the clt down the valley Is
again high man. Yost of the West
Enders made -34 In the last game of
the season. Last season's record was
not in It at any stage of the game, and
men on every team In the league
passed It repeatedly.
The two high men of the year were
Test with his 234 and Phillips, of the
Elks with 232. Others who passed the
220 mark were Wardell of the IJIcycIe
club. Coons of the Backus team, Green
of Wllkes-Barre, Bartl and Holl of the
Elks, and Fowler and Field of the
Commercials. The men whose names
are on the honor roll with aveiages of
150 and over are;
Commercials I'lolil, 178; Mllilirll, 1 t.-l ; Fowler
(captain), 10.1; Van Wormcr. Ml; llaslain, 117;
Filley, 151.
Klko Haiti. IBS; Holt, 1 .",T ; Kiel, I, I .VI; Unrles

Wfrt EndeM" Welgaiul, 1.51; Green (eaptaln),
I.W, Innis, !55.
The three highest gatnes of the
tournament were rolled by the Com
mercials, 2.610, and the highest single
match was also bowled by the leadets.
Nino hundred nnd ninety-eight was
their crack score, and Captain Charles
Fowler wept torrid tears because his
men didn't get two more pins that
game and reach the thousand mark.
Captain Frank Leonard of the "Black
Diamonds" challenged the Commer
cials to play his team at Tuesday
right's banquet of the bowlers.
Dr. Alfred Bull, formeily known to
fame as the great center on the 'Var
sity of Pennsylvania foot ball team,
helped out the West End Wheelmen In
several of their bowling matches. The
ex-foot ball player made the respecta
ble average of 145.
A new bowling turnaincnt will be
begun Tuesday night. The personnel!
of the contestants has slightly
changed, however, as the Commer
cials have disbanded and their place
will be taken by Frank Leonard's
Black Diamonds, whose home alleys
will be those of the Bicycle club. The
other teams will l-e the Backus five,
the Elks, the regular Bicycle club
team, the West Kndcrs, of Wilkes
Barre, and a representation of bowl
ers from the (ireen Hldge club.
(hallos Fowler and John P. Hun
ter, the latter secretary of the old
asfoclatlon, are nt work on a league
schedule, and the first game takes
place Tuesday.
News from the Diamond.
THE PROSPECTS for a professional
base ball team in Seranton this
season are very, very slim, and It
Is more than doubtful If the few hun
died Scrantonians who may be termed
real rooters will have the pleasure of
nttendlng Eastern or State league
games at'Athletlc Park this year. The
fact that we will have no team can bo
attributed to nothing less than the
SICHEL'S MADONNA.
One Thousand Copies of This Famous
Painting: Received in Seranton for
Preo Distribution.
One thousand platinum copies of
Sichel's "Madonna," 12x16 in size,

peoplo of Seranton themselves. The
support ffiven Walter Burnham and his
splendid team last sprint was of the
shabbiest kind, and the attendance at
tho games was ludicrously small con
sidering the gilt-edged article of ball
played by tho snappy youngsters.
However the company that the nine
traveled In wasn't fast enough to make
good sport and that fact in a measure
accounts for the lack of interest. Seran
ton is, however, promised nn amateur
league. John H. Brooks and Thomas
It. Brooks, who have manfully borne
the brunt of every stormy local base
ball season for years post, are both
sickened nt 1900's wretched success,
but are eager advocates of a semi
professional circuit.
In this It Is Intended to plaaj two
Seranton teams, and nines from Car
bondale, Avoca, Olyphant, Wllkes
Barre, Honesdale and other small
towns, The rivalry between Seranton
and the representatives of these other
Pennsylvania metropoles will ensure
u keen spirit of competition.
Many of the local players who will
shine In fast company have been
spending the winter In training und
will be In excellent shape at the be
ginning of this season. William
Coughlln, who last year played at Kan
sas and led the third basemen of the
American league, will be under his last
year's manager, Jimmy Manning,
ngaln this season. Manning Is now In
charge of the Washington American
Leagueis and Coughlln will again
cover the third sack for him.
He signed Thursday. This is
his second experience as u Senator, he
having played n short while with
Washington, when the city was repre
sented In the National League.
John Dunn, of this city, who during
the past several yeais has distin
guished himself by pitching for Brook
lyn and Philadelphia, will twirl
again for the Quakers With
Coughlln he left for Washington dur
ing the week lo attend a player's
meeting.
Buck Fieeman. our distinguished
Wllkes-Barre friend who in ISS'.i
earned the title of "Home Run Buck,"
by his rnthcr pyrotechnlcal batting at
Washington, where he collected twenty-five
home i tins In the course of the
season, besides a choice collection of
three-baggers and two-baggers, with
also few singles, has apparently de
serted the Boston National Leaguers
with whom he played last year. Man
ager Selee Is having troubles of his
own to land the stais of I'.iOO. as most
of them arc nibbling nt the choice part
of the Ameilcan League anglers. Buck
is In splendid trim and expects to
make his 9i record look like seven
sestertii.
The local educational institutions
will band together Into it base ball
league this bcasou which ought to put
up a pretty fast kind of ball. In St.
Thomas' college and the High School
there is in particular excellent material
to choose from. St. Thomas will pro
bably turn out a team composed of the
same stars, 5vho have played on her
teams of the past few seasons, while
the High School has a large number of
fast youngsters from wiom to pick a
lepresentatlve nine.
Michael O'Neill, of Mlnooka, whose
5vork with the Young Men's Christian
association nine aroused so much
favorable comment three years ago,
will twirl for the Villa Nova college
nine this season. When not In the box,
he will be utilized in the outfield, as
he is too valuable a man with tho
stick to ever bo absent from tho game.
Walsh, of Mayfleld, 5vhose work both
with the bat nnd In the outfield has
been a distinctive feature of the strong
Georgetown college team's work dur
ing the last several seasons, Is cap
taining the team this season. His nine
has been weakened by the absence of
White. That clever young pitcher has
signed with Philadelphia.
In addition to other local amateur
base ball associations there Is talk of
a clerks' league, the teams being
chosen from the Deluware and Hudson
railroad, Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western railroad and Colliery En
gineer companies' clerical staffs.
Mllllgan, the handsome youngster
who pitched such magnificent ball for
Walt Burnham last season, has signed
a Philadelphia contract and will play
with Connie Mack's Philadelphia team.
After the Atlantic league disbanded,
Mllllgan played In the American with
Buffalo and Indianapolis and made n
good record.
With the Oarsmen.
SO SOON as the lee breaks from
Cayuga Inlet. Cornell will have
her candidates at work in tho
shells preparing for the inter-collegl-ate
regatta. The second Varsity eight
that will row against Columbia and
Pennsylvania, May SO, will be formed
Immediately. The eight will be worked
alongside of the first crew, nnd will
engage In dally spurts with the vet
erans. The men will then be In first
class condition for their two-mile spurt
on Decoration day.
Coach Courtney denies that he Is In
any 5ay changing the Cornell stroke
this year. He Is endeavoring only to
perfect the old stroke and to weed out
Imperfections that crept In last season
while the "old man" 5vas sick and the
crows In tho hands of the inexperi
enced. When the Cornell eight pulls
out of the Inlet for the Memorial day
regatta, In which the Pennsylvania
and Columbia crews will compete
against the Ithacans. spectators will
have an opportunity to Judge for them
selves whether or not Coach Courtney's
statement of the case Is correct.
Freddie Colson, the most famous coxs
wain Cornell ever developed, and who
Is now assistant coach, reiterates
Courtney's statement, and says Cor
nell 5ill stick by her old stroke.
THE GARDEN OF VERSES.
I find In my pardon xoluine of verses;
Tlio text is Illumined, and Nature hath hound it
In green of the field and the blue of the lieaicns,
And richly embossed it with gold at the sun
thine. Ouo page is the rcsebush, which holdeth a poem
Of passion, of love, of burning; devotion;
Each petal a lino and each blossom a stanza,
Sweet measures, rare color and fragrance com
binirg.
The pansy, an epic of fancies unending,
Of blending ol figures ami marking and color),
A record of thought It, of thoughts sweet and
tender,
A poem to pander and store in the mtm'ry.
The pink U a sonnet; the pea a svreet ditty,
All airy and fairy and blithesome and dreamy;
The Illy so pale and so pine and so waxen,
A hymn of sweet praise and of faith snd devo
tlon.
.
I Cud in my garden a olume of verses;
The text Is Illumined, snd Nature hath bound it
In green of the field and the blue of the heavens,
And richly embossed it wilh gold of the sun
shine. And when I have read it and gleaned Its sweet
lesons
And lulled with Its sweetness my soul into
dreaming,
I.o I comes to ray heart new Inspiration,
And into my soul a new song to be singing.

His Mother's Earnest Appeal to Use
Peruna Is Followed and He Is

Catarrh of the Lungs.
PEIU'.VA attained Rieat populailty
iimonir the ofllcerH and privates of
the army, as well as the navy,
during the late war with Spain.
A Bieat many letter were received
from Held and hospital corps Inilli-al-Ills,'
that thW popular climatic remedy
had beromc well-nigh Indlspenslble to
them.
Periinii Is nut only a national lein
ecly, but has proved ltielf a national
blcsHliiK. Letters from every ciuarter
nro received dally testifying to the
vlitues nt Perun.i In cases of eatatrh
that had long since jrlven up all hope
of cure.
CoiiKhs. colds, Inlllienza, lit irilppe
and acute catnrih yield at once to the
notion of Peruna. No cases of ra
tlin h can entire''- iislt the curative
virtues of Peruna, a every case It
either cured or permanently benellted.
Mr. Win. Stt-Kintiii. member Co. L.

Gentlemen After lcturnlng from
Cuba I felt my health wn3 consider
ably broken down. Standing in the
water for days in tho trenchc3 nffect
ed my lungs until the doctor said I
had quick consumption. My mother
advised me to use Peruna nnd in tlnee
months my lungs weie as well as
ever.
I have arranged to take some Pe
runa with me to the Philippines; ns
I consider it indispenslble to main
tain my health in the unfavorable
climate. William Stegman.
The above case was one of catanh of
the lungs. The condition Is often mis
taken for consumption, and is un
doubtedly the first sluge of this dread
disease. Thousands of Instances In
which a prompt recovery has followed
the tis(. of Peruna In catarrh of the
lungs slums that this remedy can be
telled upon to cure this class of cases.

BALLADE OF POINT DISPAIR.
Soft wore Hie -yc that were met hy mine,
Solt as a summer' mom;
R.id was the 1,-laiici- that was gii'n to me,
Sad, ami a tilt futh'ni;
Keen was the thrill that dUtutbed my soul,
Keen us a cow-herd's horn.
hwift o'er the waves rose ,i soinhre mlt,
Swift o'er the rcstlisi sea;
Deep was tho gilef on the maiden's face,
Deep us a grief might he;
Low were (ho words (hat elio slowly spake,
l.ow weir tier words to me:
"Far to the Uast has my loier (tone,
Par o'er the vasty deep;
Fleet Is tho pace of llio rising storm,
Fleet Its engulfing leap,
Cold sra the chills that enthral my heart,
Cold are the chills that creep.
'Talr was the day that my lover sailed
Fair for a ship to steer;
Sweet tho farewell that lie said to me.
Sweet for a maid to hear.
Dire Is tho thought that the tempest brings,
Dire as a watery bier,
" 'If,' said my lover, 'I ne'er come back,
If 'neatli the waves I lie,
A pearl will I send through the sea to thee,
A pearl from my tearful eye.'

"Pure Is the pesrl that I tightly ilap,
Pure as a' maiden's loir;
White is its tint on my ley hand,
White as u fairy clove,
lllaek Is the sorrow within mv hesrt,
Illack as tho clouds stoic."
Swift o'er the wives rose a sombre mist,
Swilt o'er tho restless sea;
Deep was the grief on the maiden's f ice,
Deep as tho grief might be,
Low wero the word that she slowly spake,
Low were Iter words to mo.

"Gentlemen: "As far as I have ob
served Peruna Is the finest tonic any
man or woman can use who are weak
from the after-effects of any serious
Illness. I have seen It used In a num
ber of convalescent cases, and have
seen several other tonics used, but I
found that those who used Peruna had
the quickest relief. It seems to re
store vitality. Increase bodily vigor,
and renew health and strength In a
wonderfully short time." Mrs. Kato
