THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, lOftE,

- SERIES of races between the
il Constitution nntl the ttide-
j penclenco together with the
Columbia hi assured by an
announcement made yester
day by Italph N. Ellis, Woodbury Knne,
and A. Cass Cantleld, the regatta com
mittee of the Newport Yacht tlnclng
association, that the association would
hold three separate laces for the cup
defender class, as they cr.l' the three
boats to take place off Newport on
July 2, 4 and 6. Hy the terms separate
races It Is understood to be meant
that each race will bo entirely Inde
pendent of the other and will be for a
scparte cup or trophy.
The association Includes In Its mem
bership nearly all of the wealthy cot
tagers of Newport, Including many
members of the New York and other
yacht clubs. A few years afro the or
ganization raised a hirfie fund, which
yields a Roodly Interest, from which
prT7.cs have been bought annually.
I'nder the auspices of the association
the memorable and exulting races of
the TO-footers were held last summer,
but the series between the cup defend
ers will be by nil odds the most Im
portant It has yet held In view of the
rivalry thnt there Is sure to exist be
tween friends of the eastern boat, the
Independence, nnd thoFe of the Con
stitution, and In view also of the fact
that the series will be practically trial
events to see which yacht shall de
fend the cup.
The race of July 2 will In Itself at
tract the greatest attention of any
yacht contest of American yachts for
years. In that It will be the first meet
ins of the new cup defenders, the In
dependence and the Constitution, and
moreover It will give the first oppor
tunity of a comparison of these two
new craft with the tleet Columbia,
which vanquished Shamrock I two
years ago.
The announcement of the .series
Is significant, inasmuch as it will
set at rest the seemingly unwarranted
discussion that Is going on as to the
piobablllty of Mr. Lawson and bis
yacht being Ignored by the members
of the New York Yacht club. Were
there any probability of such a condi
tion of affairs Messrs. Ellis, Kane and
Canfleld, the regatta committee of the
association, who are among the most
prominent and Influential members of
the New York Yacht club, never would
have arranged a .series of races with
the particular object of having the In
dependence and Constitution contend.
The announcement simply means that
the best boat will ho selected to de
fend the cup and that it will receive
the loyal support of every yachtsman
In the country, whether It be the In
dependence or the Constitution, or
even the Columbia.
Mr. Duncan, manager of the Consti
tution, and Mr. Lawson, owner of the
Independence, have signified their wll
'ingiies.s to race for the Newport as
sociation cups. The Newport Yacht
Uaclng association will soon announce
races for the 70 and 30-footcr classes,
and a regatta for the middle of July.
At a dinner In his honor a mechani
cal Inwntor was asked: "What comes
after the bicycle'.'" His reply was:
"Gentlemen, there never will be any
successor to the bicycle." When asked
to explain ho positive a btaUnent lie
said: "There never can be a less
amount of material put together with
greater skill that will answer the pur
pose of human loeomol ion with greater
ease and pleasure, or at a less oiiginal
cost and less current expense to the
user. The bicycle is one of the most
consummate achievements of our me
chanical development and one of the
most beneficent to civilisation. It has
no rival, and it can have no successor."
Athletics, both amateur and profes
sional, have grown to such importance
that athletic grounds In this city large
enough for the most Important affahs
have been hard to obtain. The Greater
New York Irish-American Athletic
club Is now In possession of grounds
where athletic tournaments can be
held, no matter how big ihe crowd or
what games or sports are demanded.
Four years ago the club purchased
ibout nine acres at Laurel Hill, Long
Irland City. The name given to the
Ki minds is Celtic park. The club
house, Including inclosed piazzas, is
104 feet wide by l'JO feet long. The
basement Is twelve feet high and has
howling alloys and sitting rooms for
those desiring to watch the games; a
ic&tnurnnt accommodating a thousand
pcroii8, and a kitchen, with all the
latest fixtures. On the floor above Is
ihe cafe, 40 feet long and 20 feet wide,
In the center of the west end of the
building, on either side of the enfe, are
diesslng rooms, reception rooms and
private dining rooms. The track is a
circular quarter-mile one, and eou
htiucted for nil kinds of races. There
are fields for base ball, cricket, polo,
foot ball In fact, accommodations for
all manner of sports. On the east side
of the track will be a rifle range .100
feet long, with four ranges, for match
shoots.
An athletic field on the Cornell cam
pus is probable. At the recent meet
ing of the athletic council it wus de
cided to appoint a committee to look
Into tho desirability of grading a field
on the campus, and it was voted to al
low this committee an amount not to
exceed $500 for this purpose. For years
Cornclllans have regretted the expen
diture of money on Percy Field, think
ing that all such funds must bo nn ab
frolute waste, for eventually It was
wen that the future field must be on
the hill. Tho Improvements contem
plated on Percy Field will be finished,
(is the new field will not bo ready for
some years.
Bowling.
A rather unique match was rolled
Inst night on the Bicycle club alleys,
'.vlien the strong first team of the ns.
i nutation met five members of tho club
known at the "Tin Cans" and bowled
i hem for n dinner at the Speedway,
The game was unique, Inasmuch as it
certainly required u certain amount
of audacity for the newest and young
est aggregation of bowlers to roll the
team which Just won the championship
of a league In which the head bowlois
In northeastern Pennsylvania particle
pated.
The champions, however, won out
by only ninety-three pins, taking
two out of three games, and,
having a total of 2,367 to 2,274. The
men lined up as follows: ilieyclo club
Moote, DufTield, Mitchell, Wardell
.and ltopcr; Tin Cans Piyor, Walter,

In the tournament Just completed
the Individual bowling was not ns high
as In the first league matches of tho
season, but on the whole the rolling
wns more consistent and steady. The
highest score made was 225, scored
by Welchel, nnd this high water mark
Is nine pins lower than the high score
of the Inst tournament.
Yost made that, as will be remem
bered, with 2,14, but then there wns also
George Phillips' 232 nnd numerous
228's, all of whl.ch surpass Welchel'a
score. The latter bowler ha,the dis
tinction of making the most double
centuries scored by any Individual
player In tho tournament. The Elk
player made three doubles, 223, 210 nnd
nn oven 200. areen. of the Wllkes
Harro West End Wheelmen, mnde a
brace of doubles, 202 nnd 200. Duineld,
of the nicycle club, had 206 and 200,
Wlcgand, of the West Enders, 216 nnd
215, Hopkins, of the TJackus club, two
202 games, and the following players
a double century apiece: Taylor, of the
Hlack Diamonds, 20S: Yost, of the
West Enders, 214; Fllley, of the Elks,
211; Hooker, of the Hackus team, 200:
Hobllng, of the Elks, 213; Mitchell, or
the Illrycle club, 211; Wardell, of the
Bicycle club, 203; Moore, of the same
team, 202; Hoslam, of the Elks. 210.
The highest team game rolled was
Oil, wide by the West End Wheel
men on the Elks' alley. 998 vas the
star performance of the old league
with th" Commercials as tho heroes.
A peculiar fact about the bowling In
the second tournament Is the fact that
not a member of the West Enders No.
2 reached tho 200 mark.
The Backus club will play off Its
postponed game with the Wllkes
Barro West End Wheelmen Friday
night on the latter's alleys. This will
leave tho game between the Wllkes
IJnrre teams the only one yet to bo
played.

But little Interest Is being taken in
the local base ball gomes, and to the
mediocre exhibitions put up by the
scholastic teams at Athletic park this
Is to be attributed. In former years
the High school and School of tho
Lackawanna have turned out teams
which weio able to cope with any of
the schoolboy nines In this region, hut
this season the material making up
each Is deplorably weak.
A few good players are on each nine,
and there the base ball quality ceases.
Everything contributes this season to
throw a damper over the base ball situ
ation. The miserable condition of the
grounds, the poorness of the oxhlhi
tlons, the small boy nuisance all aid In
killing the national game In the central
city.
"Buck" Freeman, tho Wllkes-Barro
youth of home-run hitting proclivities,
who last season played with tho Bos
ton National league teum, is one or
Jimmy Collins' right-hand men with
tho Boston American leaguers. "Buck"
is playing first base, nnd is already
hailed as a second Fred Tennoy, His
fielding In several games has been pro
nounced little short of marvelous, nnd
his little willow wand has been In evi
dence every time ho has faced an
American league twlrler. His long
distance shots have been frequent and
his old sobriquet of "Home-Bun Buck"
Is proving no meaningless one.
In Ferris, Jimmy Collins has secured
one of tho most promising players of
the season. Tho little second baseman
guards the Boston American league
team's second base like a lynx and is
also showing up well with the stick.
In Monday's game against Washington
he had ten outs, five assists and an
error, which Is the year's record so far,
Charles Dryden, the clever North
American bnso ball writer, continues
his war of satire on Andy Freedman,
the famous New York magnate. Dry
den's latest mode of pestering Andrew
Is evidenced In the series of photo
graphs of league celebrities being run
dally In the North American's sporting
column. Each day tho same picture of
Freedman has appeared for tho past
two weeks, with a paragraph of keen
sarcastic jeferences undei- It. The New
York magnate's likeness Is the only
one which has yet appeared In the
series.
Catcher Toft, last yr with Be ron
ton and who went from here to Spring
field, has been signed by Worcester, of
the Eastern league. Ho will help Jack
Clements out with the backstop work.
Basket Ball.
Great Interest was shown this winter
In basket ball by local lovers of this,
one of Amerca's most popular sports.
The Defenders, of South Scranton,
proved themselves tho unquestioned
champions of this city, county nnd, In
deed, of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Last week they wound up the season
by defeating Jack Tlgue's Gymnasium
team nnd thus winning a. 50 prize.
There Is now a good deal of talk among
the members of the team to the effect
that h trip to Buffalo this summer
would bo a decidedly pleasing novelty.
At the Pan-American exposition tho
Athletic cnrnlnl will Include an open
tournament for basket ball teams, and
the South Scrnnton men have about
decided to enter the contest. They
have met nnd defeated teams from all
the surrounding plnces and now, like
Alexander, yearn for other worlds to
conquer.
Captain Martin Snyder nnd his good
men true can piny basket ball and play
it well, but nt Buffalo they will meet
the pick of tho country and undoubt
edly will have to put up the game of
their lives.
College Athletics.
The first definite grading of tho Har
vard crew squad Into 'varsity nnd scc
rnd crews was made Monday. AVhile a
good deal of shifting about is likely
to take place before the race with Yolo
on tho Thames the final crew Is now
practically picked. The men naturally
did not iow very well together, as this
was the first tlm- that they have pulled
In this older. In the launch was Fred
Allen, the Yale coach for this year. He
watched tho work of the Harvard cruw
with interest. Ilo was evidently on
the lookout to so' vhnt kind of nn op
ponent they will hnv- to face this year.
The order in wh'c'i the 'varsity rowed
was as follow.'.: Stroke. Bullaid; 7,
Ayer; 6, II. Bancroft 5, Lawrence; 4.
Shuebruk. 3, Emory; 2, Blake; bow,
C.oodcll; coxswain, Jackson.
The University of Pennsylvania
spiing football practice began on
Franklin field Monday. Only about a
dozen men reported for the first pi no
tice. The practice consisted of punt
ing, catching nnd passing the ball.
There was no line-up and probably will
not be during the two weeks that tho
practice is to continue. Coach Wood
ruff stated after the practice that his
principal aim in calling the men to
gether was to find out the material
Which he may depend upon for noxi
year. He also announced that there
would be a preliminary practice tills
fall of at least two weeks. It has not
been decided wheie it will be taken,
but it will probably be on Franklin
Held, as the faculty is opposed to the
men going away from the city.
Graves, the crack quarter-back, has
not left the university as was reported
some time ago. He is not out for the
spring practice, as lie is training for
the cricket team, but ho will bo on
hand next fall. The small number of
candidates who have so far reported Is
due to the fact that the majority of
the men are working on other terms.
Cornell's crew started In a haul
weeks' work Monday afternoon. Coach
Courtney was unable to take ills squads
to the lake and confined all practice to
the Inlet. Petty, the old 'varsity man,
was Indisposed, and ills position at No.
7 was filled by Edmonston. Hliodes
was put In at No. r: and the complete
oider of tho 'varsity shell was then as
follows: Bobbins, stroke; Edmonston,
No. 7; Vanderhoef, fi; Osborne, 3;
Teagle, 4; Hliodes, 3; Powley, 2; liazle
wood, bow; Long, coxswain. The sec
ond 'varsity crew, which will row on
May 30, elected W. O. Beyer, of Buf
falo, captain. He is one of tho most
finished oarsmen In the squad. This
crew is now able to hold the first 'var
sity in long and short distances.
At the close of the Pennsylvania's
ciew practice Monday afternoon Coach
Ellis Ward announced a shnke-up In
all of them, except tho freshmen. The
purpose of the move is to secure a
second crew to row in the regatta at
Lake Cayuga against the second crews
of Cornell and Columbia. Four of tho
members of tho Henley crew aro elig
ible for the races on Memorial day,
and these have been placed In the sec
ond boat, together with four members
of the old Poughkeepsle boat. In ac
cordance with the shake-up the second
crew now rows as follows: Stroke,
Hlldebrand; No. 7, W. Gardiner; No,
C, Glllespy; No. 5, Kuhnmuench; No.
4, Jackson; No. 3, Henderson; No. 2,
Elsenbrey; bow, 5Jano; coxswain, Tup
per. A similar change has been mndo
Ir. tho third crew, which Is made up
of a combination of the former third
and Poughkeepsle crews. Tho rowing
order of the crew Is as follows: Stroke,
Shock; No, 7, Klor; No. , Wheelen;
No. 5, Schrelber; No. 4, Kelley; No. 3,
Eckfoldt; No, 2, Goodman; bow, Kel
lar; coxswain, Davis.
Tho foot ball schedule of Lehigh uni
versity for tho coining season has been
arranged as follows: Sept. 28, Uni

Tho grand jury at London has found

SOME CUHIOUS CONTESTS.
Events Arranged by Sportsmen with.
Lively Imaginations.
l'lom ('.i-.seH's .M.ig.iine.
At the beginning of List year an ac
count was published in one of the
sporting papeis of a foot ball match
on bicycles which took place near Wol
verhampton. Tho attempt to icvolu
tionizt' our great winter game com
pletely failed, owing to its many in
herent Impossibilities, but it was in
let estlng as showing a tendency of
certain orders of mind. There lias al
ways been a large number of so-called
sportsmen who are never content with
recognizing forms of sport. They aie
perpetually on tho lookout for some
bizarre contest. As a general rule tho
moie ridiculous the conditions under
which such contests take place the
better they are pleased. Any one who
cares to take the tioublo to look
through tho files nf "Hell's -Life" can
find ample evidence of this for him
self. "Old Q" the famous Duke of
Queensbei ry hail an extraordinary
fertile imagination for weird and novel
contests. Passing a wheelwright's
shop one day, lie noticed one of tho
workmen trundling a big wheel Into
tho yard. The man was running at a
good pace, and It Immediately occur
red to "Oil Q" that here was an lop
pi.rtunlty for, in tho words of the mod
ern penny weekly, an absolutely novel
competition. After some conversation
with the wheelwright lie learned that
a man could probably run faster with
a wheel than without one, the wheel
no doubt acting as a sort of pace
maker. Having obtained tills valu
able ploi e of information, the duke
promptly arranged a match between
the wheelwright and a certain fleot
footed barber of Oxford street, nnd
offeied a very substantial prize to the
winner. The conditions were that the
wheelwright should trundle one of the
br.ck wheels of the duke's conlage,
while the barber, of course, rhould run
unincumbered. Just before the mutch
came olf the duke made the unpleas
ant discovery that his nominee could
only show his best turn of speed with
n wheel a foot higher than that oi
the" duke's eon Inge. But "Old Q"
wasn't to be hn filed by nn obstacle of
this kind. He had a sort of platform
or dais a foot high elected along the
cruise where the race wns to be run.
By tumdllng the ciuriiige wheel along
the top of this dais while he himself
ran on tho ginuiid beside It, the wheel
wright was no longer handicapped, and
won the race easily. The winner, by
the way, must have, been something
of an ncrobat ns well as a sprinter to
have bnlanced the wheel on a narrow
platform while traveling at full speed.
All true golfeis must have read with
pain an account of the dastardly at
tempt which was made two years go
to tamper with tho sacred game. In .i
iinost reprehensible splllt nf Unity
two golfers, in July. JSHS, arranged a
match of which the conditions wero
that oiih of them should go around
tho links with the oidinury hall and
clubs, while the other should go
nround with a bow and arrow. The
superior driving powers of tho how
and arinw won tho day, Ah a nutter
the bow proved a contemptibly In
effective instrument, but It amply
compensated for this inferioilty by
the certainty with which It sent the
arrow soaring over tho bunkei.s.
As an Inventor of nbsurdi contests,
the lato Sir John Astley wits' almost
us distinguished as tho Duko of
Qucfciisborry. Ills great for to was ar-
j arising races between nnlmals which
nature had apparently mndo almost
unsuitable for the purpose. When
quartered at AYIndsor ho Instituted the
only race that over took place between
chickens. This peculiar contest came
about In the following way: Whllu on
a visit to a friend near Windsor who
leapt u hen run, Sir John noticed how
rapidly tho chickens used to t-cuny
to thell mother when food was thrown
to her. Hcio was the germ of an Idea
for a good sporting match, and at mess
a few nights nftcrwaid Sir John Ast'
ley expounded to his In other oilkcis
his plans for the great chicken r.ico.
Ho had bought fioin ,i farmer u hen
and u brook of chickens, Each otllcer
was to chooso a chicken nnd maik It
with a ribbon so that ho could easily
Itcc&nlzo It. Tim chickens wcie to bo
placed about fifty yards away from
their mother and whichever of them
leached h"r first In answer to her
cackle when food was thrown to her
wus to be adjudged the winner. Each
People who travel
liablo to have dyspepsia or some other form of "stomach . ii
trouble.' They have to live as they can, not aa they would.
The train Won't stop for them to eat, they must eat when tho
train Htops, and in general the food hurriedly swallowed in tho
" ten minutes for refreshments " is of an indigestible character.
It is small cause for wonder that under such conditions tho
ntomach becomes disordered nnd diseased. One of the peculiar
features of the times is that the scores and thousands of people
who don't, have to travel persist in living as if they did. Tliey
cat ttt homo or in the restaurant as if the time for rofrcHhment
was limited to ten minutes and they wer in momentary expec
tation of tho call, " All aboard 1 " to break in npon their hur
ried meal. Tho very natural consequence of this way of living
is to recruit the great army of dyspeptics. Dyspepsia has many
stages which range from mere discotnfort to utter mental misery
and physical wreck. But at any stage dyspepsia is a menaco to
health and happiness. Ordinarily we think of dyspepsia as a
disease affecting only the organs of digestion and nutrition.
But as a matter of fact the disease affects tho whole body. It
causes physical lassitude, mental dullness and depression, head
ache, muscular debility and constipation or irregularity. It is
one of the greatest handicaps to human happiness and useful
ness the world knows.
Side by side with these facts there is another : Dyspepsia can
be cured, has been cured, and is being cured by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures dyspepsia at any
Bt ago, and the only difference between the cure of an old and
obstinate case of dyspepsia and the disease in its beginning, is a
u
difference of time. It takes longer to cure a disease which has
bad years perhaps in which to root and a disease which has
only just begun to show itself. But so uniform are the results
obtained by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery that it may bo affirmed that in ninety-eight per
cent, of cases a perfect and permanent cure will bo ob
tained. It always helps. It almost always cures.
Mr. Ned Nelson, the celebrated Irish Commedian and Mimic,
of 577 Koydeu Street, Camden, N. J., writes: "We fulfilled an
encagcuieiit of twelve weeks, and the constant traveling gave me
n
n bad touch of that dreaded disease called dyspepsia. I had tried everything
possible to cure it till last week while playing nt H. F. Keeth's Bijou Theatre i
i Jlimucilllliu, iu mi; .icjauu iiiu, . piu.niuiiui menu ui mini: auvisefl me to
try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I tried it, and, thank God, with
good results."
"Having seen the advertisement of your 'Golden Medical Discoverv,' and
being a great sufferer from the effects of stomach trouble for the past' eiVht
years, I concluded to try your medicine," writes Mr. W. A. Maxwell, of Marsh
field. Coos Co.. Oregon. "I had tried almost every known remedv. .ind ic
consulted with the best medical skill attainable, but all without any relief.
After re.ulinsr one of your circulars I concluded to trv one bottle of Dr. Pierce' j
I
Golden Medical Discover). After taking one bottle I felt so relieved it induced me to
continue. Am now on the fourth bottle and have not had a spell of bloating or "acid
stomach " (which was very painful) for the last six weeks. Before the use of vour medicine
I was in dread of every mealtime, for in twenty minutes after eating I would be racked
with pain. Indigestion was my principal ailment, and I have been also terribly afflicted
with asthma, which, I believe, was brought on through the medium of indigestion Now
as 1 stated, after having used four bottles of your medicine, I have not had an attack of
sour .stomach or painful bloating, and my asthma has just about disappeared. In fact I
feel better now than for the last ten years." ' ' '
The cures effected by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery " are real and
lasting. A large number of tho so-called " remedies " offered for dyspepsia, aro
mere palliatives. The most they can do is to give some temporary relief from
physical dibcomfort. But the " Discovery " makes a perfect and permanent cure.
It does this because it is much more than a mere medicine for dyspepsia. It
cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition". It
cures diseases of organs seemingly remote from tho stomach, but which in reality
have theii origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs.
Thus with the cure of dyspepsia and stomach " trouble " comes the cure of dis-

Sometimes a dealer, tempted
