A STIR AMONG
BASE BALL CRANKS
Tho Sporting- Editor of the Carbon
dale Department of The Tribune
Dishes Up Some Gossip for the Men
Who Know All About Swats and
Curves Asks Honesdale and Arch
bald What's Doing.
Huso bull enthusiasts iii-o beginning
1d shout for :i winning- base ball team
for this season anil the best players
of the town have gotten together and
started the ball rolling: for a success
ful season.
The members uC last year's Crescent
team met on Thursday night last and
elected Patrick P. Foxe manager. He
managed the team successfully last
season, and has already started In to
perfect the playing strength of the
-1002" nine.
Manager Foxe and a committee have
been appointed to devise ways and
means for securing suitable uniforms
for the season. Near the close of last
season the Scranton Traction com
pany made overtures to the team, and
had almost decided to purchase them
uniforms and back the team financial
ly, but at that time the team was In an
unstable condition, and it was thought
they would not hold together until the
llnlsh of the season. This year the
Crescents ex pec toil support from the
company, but the street car strike will
operate against such co-operation.
Should It be settled soon the team
would no doubt receive encouragement
from the company, but In the event of
their doing so they would be forced to
play on the Alumni park grounds. Al
ready they have formulated plans for
tin? erection of bleachers on Duffy's
Held, just above the park, and more ac
cessible to the central city.
More new blood -will be infused Into
the team this year, though the stars
of last year's aggregation will be on
the pay roll.
The following players have already
decided to don uniforms when the um
pire yell out "play ball"; Moran and
J.oftus, catchers; Smith, Cuff. McAn
drew, pitchers; Oallaghy, Mellale,
shortstops; Pldgeon, Hadglns, Harte,
llrst base; Kogan, Mouahnii, Jlm-ke,
second base; Foxe, Murray, third base;
Kmniett, left Held; Monahan, Moran,
center Held, and Harris and flordon,
right field. Other players of like cali
bre have nut yet been seen by Man
ager Foxe, and the personnel of the
team may be greatly shaken up from
the above list. Young players will be
made a specially of. and any man of
ability will be given a trial on the
team. Candidates for the' team are
asked to appear on the practice Held,
by Manager Foxe, and all will be given
a chance for the nine. .There will bo
no favoritism and no playing on recrd.
A-playcr will have to show olHeli-noy,
or his name will be summarily dropped.
Not alone the Crescpiits, but other
tennis will be In the held, and hard

wo respectfully advise them to start

they have the courage to bump up
agahiBt our "prides."
According to the young man who
writes the obituary records from Arch
bald, In n Sunday paper, the Archbabl
team does not desire fo'Bo iiii".CRitlnst
our strong teams, but would rather
try conclusions with the school" team
from here, who we nre cxpcatliifr lo
drill the Mcriiuton school teams. To
tell the truth Archbald never had a
team, and It Is probable they never
expect to havo one that can cope suc
cessfully with any but school teams
from this section. Hut If they want a
game they can be accommodated dur
ing the season by writing to Manager
Foxe. We will, allow them their own
umpires and scorokecpers and will tnk
the victories. .
The students at the Central school
have began to talk base bull, and It Is
probable that they will have a team
on the diamond this year. Some defi
nite action will be token In a few days.
CREDIT TOR OFFICER MORAN.
His Detection of Fred Robinson n
Big- Feather in His Cap.
Constable Moran, the keen and
shrewd oflicer of Alderm.'ni Atkinson's
court, Is wearing another good sized
feather In his already well-decorated
detective's cap.
Constable Moran received Ills latest
decoration by his clever work in the
detection and arrest of Fred J. Robin
son, the man from the countrv. who
raised a one-dollar bill to twenty by
pasting on the numerals from a con
federate bill, and then passing the bill
on Samuel Clrlco, the Italian storekeep
er on the West Side. Within fifteen
hours after he heard of the transaction,
the constable had Robinson before the
alderman, besides arresting a man and
his wife, who, it Is claimed, received :i
portion of the money that tit? guilty
man received In change from the un
suspecting .storekeeper. Morgan had no
tangible clue to work upon, as Cric-o
had no knowledge as to Robinson, lvv
er having seen him before. He learned
however, that a farmer's wagon had
been on Fallbrook street, a few blocks
from Clrlco's store, on the evening o;
the swindling. This clue, slight as It
was, was followed with good results,
and by shrewd and discreet Inquiries
the constable located Robinson and his
Supposed accessories. At the hearing
lu the alderman's olllcc, when he saw
the chain of , circumstantial evldenca
that the constable had woven .Voout
liim, he virtually admitted his guilt.
Tills week he made a dean breast of
the affair before Judge Archbald lu tlio
United States court, at Scr.iiitou, and
was given two and a half yours In the
Western penitentiary at Pltts'nir-r.
THIS, CERTAINLY, IS NEW.
Carbondale Man Elected to Office nnd
Didn't Know It.
Anybody hereabouts would be sure to
smile if you told him that a Carbon
dale man didn't know he was elected
to office until two weeks afterwards,
and that thou the news was a b.'g- sur
prise to him. And now if you have any
smiles to smile prepare to let them
beam, for this Is true of a man who
lives in Carbondale township, and is
perhaps the best known man in that
neck o' woods.
This refreshing exception is Thomas
A. Walker, of Cottage street, C.ubci
dale township, and postmaster of
Chllds, which has been raised to that
more dignilled appellation than May
Held yard. Just before the spring elec
tion, at the behest of his friends. Mr.
Walker decided to stand is a candidate
for treasurer on the Republican tlcknt.
Kloctlons are not so strenuous or ex
citing In Carbondale township as In
well, In Philadelphia; or say, Fell
township, and somehow Mr. Walker
forgot that he was In the race. Ills
friends, however, didn't; they rallied
around his standard, and putting In
their bpst licks they heaped upon him
the honor of treasurer. Honor Is used
advisedly, for no man In Carbondale
township will over sit up o' nights and
worry himself to a shadow over the
money that he will have to care for as
treasurer. The salary of the olllco Is
the only thing to worry about.
About Monday or Tuesday of this
week, Treasurer-elect Walker was
struck with the recollection that he was
u candidate at the election, and ho
received another surprise when ho was
Informed that he would be the next
treasurer of the township. Since then
he has been buying the clgar.s for his
friends.
Ex-Building Inspector in Town.
Former Building Inspector John Nel
son, of Kcranton, was nt the Harrison
house yesterday. Mr. Nelson was hern
giving attention to the roof of the First
Presbyterian church, which needed
some repairing.

The Dash of The Tribune Man
Through the Flooded Highways
nnd Byways Stirs the Muse of Col.
John McCoinfl.
The dfish of The Tribune's Carbondale
representative. Martin T. O'Malley,
and ii volunteer newspaper friend,
Thomas V. Nealon, through the Hooded
valley In the dark and chaos of Friday
night In order that The Tribune's read
ers would have the Hood news and their
favorite paper the next morning, so
met with the appreciation of Colonel
John MeComb as a bit of daring enter
prise that awakening his Muse ho
graphically told the story of the
achievement with the incidents lending
up to It lu verse. He communicated
the clover rhyme of the happening to
The Tribune, after lecturing- the mod
est Tribune man for his diffidence about
the public recital of what he, the Col
onel, regarded as meritorious work
and worthy of his gifted pen.
The Tribune's readers, therefore, have
presented to them today Colonel Mc
Comb's appreciation, which Is all the
more flattering to what ho calls the
"heroes of the narrative," since he
was present when they set out and Was
acquainted somewhat with the circum
stances surrounding their departure.
No extended preface of the Colonel's
clever handling of the subject Is needed..
The tale, as he relates It, commends
Itself.

HE FOUND THE PUZZLE.
Ho was from 'Wayne county. He was
standing in front of a North Main
street shoo store the other day. He
was looking in the window. This was
about 10 o'clock In the morning. At
'2 o'clock in the afternoon, he was still
there, his look desperate. At 4 o'clock
he was still there, but was almost
crawling up the window. At G.30, when
the proprietor was ready to lock up, tlio
young man jumped up in the air, and
with a whoop that made the shoe man
wink to the clerk to call the ambulance,
he yelled: "Ive found It! I've found
it!"
"Found what?" asked the proprietor,
with an ley glare.
"I've found the puzzle. See It?" ho
said, as he pranced with gleq.
"What puzzle?" growled the shoe
man, as he said something about "rats
in his belfry."
"The puzzle in the window," danced
the funny man. "See! it says fine
shoes, $1'. I've found them. See them,
they're In the window?" he shouted
as ho danced his way down the street,
while the shoe man turned the key In
the door and muttered something else,
that sounded like "crazy yaps."
Homeward Bound from Convention.
Dr. Flke, the well known practitioner
from Clifford town, was In Carbondala
yesterday, homeward bound from the
Republican convention held In Mont
rose on Thursday, where he was pres
ent as a delegate.
The doctor and his companion had
quite a serious time In making thor
way over the snow-bound roads from
Clifford to this city. They wero the
first travellers to come through since
the storm of Wednesday.
"Colonel MeComb," said the doctor,
"wrote quite a poem in The Tribune
about Phil. Sheridan's ride, but ho
coulil write on epic about ours."
"Bet your life," said the other, shak
ing his head as he recalled visions of
snow banks and a tugging team.

"I shouldn't care to go through It
again,' said Mr. Charles It, Bradley,
the president of the State Investment
Co,, to a reporter at his olllco In the
American Trust Building, Cleveland,
Ohio.
"'it wns not n pleasant experience."
ho continued, "but It had an Important
bearing on my after life. Certainly, I'll
tell you about It.
"It was about throe years ago. I was
Just recovering from a long attack of
typhoid fever and my slcrngth wns so
long In returning that It seemed I would
never be a sound, healthy man again.
My appetite was poor, my nerves wero
unstrung and tho doctor's medicine did
jiut help me at all.
"Tlitnrre imrt irnliit 1iAitt Iww1 I r
worse- when one day I chanced to read
In thu paper of a man who had been
cured of trouble similar to mine by tho
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo
People. It encouraged be to try them.
By tho time I had used tho first box I
felt n decided improvement and I kept
on taking them until I had used six
boxes. By that tlmo I was restored to
perfect health."
"You have never felt any more of
the after-effects?" asked the reporter.
"Not the slightest. But I plwuys keep
tho pills handy, for I occasionally siif-
fer from Indigestion and few doses al
ways relievo me. I consider them tho
best remedy made for nil disorders of
the digestive organs. I am always glad
to recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Palo People."
The after-effects of fevers and other
acute diseases aro frequently worso

needs to bo purified and supplied with
tho elements to build up tho wasted
tissues, the nerves need a tonic to
strengthen them. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Palo People will do this as no
other medicine will. They contftln all
the elements necessary to give new llfo
and richness of the blood- and restore
shattered- nerves. They; tiro an unfail

of fevers, of the grip and other acute
diseases but also for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis. St.
