:.?jf THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 16, 1902. jicII i ., n Tfet News of PETS AND ARCHBALD AT SCRANTON TODAY 4 There Will Be n Battle Royal This ' Afternoon In Athletic Park for 1 $200 a Side A Great Oame Surely ' Expected A Sequel of the Fiasco Yesterday Forenoon at Archbald. The battleground of the Crescents And the Archbald team will be shifted today down the vnlley tn Athletic park, in Scrnnton, where the two teams will meet In battle royal this afternoon. 5 Not only will this contest be of In terest to the rooters In Curbondnlc and Archbald, but It will likewise nttr.ict pvcry fan In Scranton and vicinity. The (force of this attraction lies In the fact that each team will have one or more players of either the seml-professlonals, or Scranton, or the Plttston Urothers. 'Such players as Touhill. Ferris. France, hludenspaeher, the Small-, brothels, Toy and Golden, of the Brothers' team, arc an assurance that the article of ball will he worth koIhk to see. This, coupled with the Intense rivalry be tween the Crescents f'nrbondale's j'Pets" and the Archbald team, make assurance doubly sine that It will be a great same. The teams will play for a purse ot $100, each club posting $200. The re ceipts of the Rinne will likewise go to the winning club. In short, the win ners take everything In sight. The arrangements for this game the climax, It might be said, of the extrn nrdlnnrlly successful season In I'nrbon dnle quickly followed the miserable nd deplorable llnlsh or the game at Archbald yesterday forenoon. About dinner time Manager Phllbln called up Manager Tappan, of the Crescents, and made a proposition to play at Scrnnlon today for a good-sized purse. Curiously enough, Sir. Tappan and members of the team were discussing at the time a similar proposition to meet the Arch bald tf am on neutral ground, prefer ably In Scranton. Mr. Tappan went to Archbald in the afternoon, where he met Manager F.d ward riiiihln. Hacked by plenty as surances from Interested rooters, Mr. Tappan reasserted Carbondale's faith In her fain and offered to raise the forfeit of each club to $200, making the purse $10(1. This was acquiesced in by Sir. Phllbln, and articles of agrf-emont were forthwith prepared and signed. The articles of agreement which were, of coutEf, signed by Managers Tap pan and Phllbln, and witnessed by Will F. Loftiiy, of this city, and Charles Heady, of Archbald, specify that thu same players who were In uniform at Archbald at yesterday's game consti tute the teams of this afternoon's con test, These players were: Curbondalc Hopkins, West Scranton, catcher; Harrison, Scranton, pitcher; France, h'outh Scranton, shortstop; Kmmett, first base: Touhill, Scranton, second base; McTierney, third base: Murray, right Held: Flannery, center field; Cuff, lert Held: Monahan, McAn drew and Kelleher, additional. Archbald Toy, Plttston. catcher: Ed ward Smultz. Plttston, pitcher: ICrnest Rmnltz, Plttston, shortstop; Halligan, Seranton. first base: Patrick McDon ald, Archbald, second base; Fleming, Archbald, third base; Price, Archbald, right Held; Ferris. Scranton semi-professional, center Held; Cioldcn, Plttston Urothers. left field: .7. McDonald, Arch bald; Addle Madenspacher, Scranton semi-professional, additional. These players, therefore, will lie on the ground, and It is likely that thev will be played In the same positions as yesterday. The agreement further provides that both clubs will abide by the decisions of the umpire to lie mutually agreed upon: that in the event of a dispute his decision will be final; that each club deposit $-ir. with Charles Heady, of Archbald, as a forfeit: that the bal ance of $ifM. on each side, be deposited with Mr. Heady one-half hour before the game: that the winning club take the purse of $(00 and the gate receipts, and that the winning club pay the rental of the grounds and the umpire. Mnnager Tappan was easily prepared to put up the purse, and even $.100, if the Archbald sports could afford, to meet the raise. Special Fare to Scranton. Everything, therefore, with the excep tion of the selection of the umpire, has been decided upon, The rooters, there fore, from c.irbondale and vicinity are assured of a great game; and there is A fllltlS PROBLEM. How to Feed Herself When Running Down. "I nil) a stenographer!" That state nient brings up a picture of 1 ,ng hours of tiresome indoor confinement, close nientul concentration and subsequent exhaustion and brain fag. Then comes up the food question. A young lady In Dayton, Ohio writes, "Some time ago I was a stenographer in a large city retail store and having the responsibility of the olllce work resting largely upon me my health be gan gradually to decline, and I stood facing the dllllcult problem of fludlng relief or some kil or leaving my situ ntlonJVorpK;.irjijeij1 t0 my trouble!

For a palatable and Kealthful.-dlct, there Is knqtlilpg on the market to equal It, and the-fact should Become of common knowledge.',, Napie flvcn by Postum Co.; Battle Creek, fclyn, Carbondale, an extra Inducement to draw an Im mense crowd' rrom this vicinity. Ar rangements were made last night with the Delaware and Hudson for a special excursion rate, Thu single fare, fifty cents, will prevail today, for the round trip. The train that will specially ac commodate the rooters will leave here at 1 .4:1 In the afternoon. As to the game In Archbald yester day forenoon, u good deal might be said, but In view of the fact that both teams are to meet this afternoon to fight out the battle In earnest, the less fighting on paper, the better, perhaps, The game, as Is known, broke up In the beginning of the second Inning by Captain McTierney taking his men from the field, after the Archbald manage ment refused to remove Umpire. Pat rick Mahoti, of Archbald, whose Incom petence was glaringly apparent and recognized by every fair-minded per son at the game. Million's decisions on strikes were woefully bad. He repeat edly called strikes that were over the base, but also over the batters' heads. In the second Inning, Harrison was sent hack to home after hitting a ball direct ly In' front of the base. Catcher Toy knew It was fair nnd tried to throw Harrison out nt first. Halligan, how ever, dropped the ball. It was then that Malum sent Harrison back, de claring the ball was foul, that It hit Harrrlson. The error of this decision was apparent to every one near the home plate, but more so to Catcher Toy, who played the ball as ralr. The next bad decision, the one which broke up the game, was when McDonald en deavored to catch Hopkins nt second on a. double play, after Oolden's catch of Murray's fly. Hopkins easily slid under McDonald, who failed to touch him be cause the ball was caught too high, Hopkins made the base, which, to make matters worse, was fully two feet away from Its proper place. This being the climax of Million's poor work, Captain McTierney, who was backed by the whole Carbondale delegation, Insisted on the removal of the umpire before he would permit his men to go on. Manager Phllbln was half willing, but later refused; then Mc Tierney and several of the team made for the cars. The newspaper men en deavored to have Manager Phllbln acquiesce in the clamor for Mahon's re moval, but It was not until the plnyers were on the cars that the request was yielded to. Then It was too late. Man ager Tappan didn't deem It prudent for the team to return to the ground. All through the game feeling ran high; on the way to the cars young lads pelted the Carbondale players with stones, hooted and jeered them, and altogether there were' signs that there might be Interference with the game If It be re sumed. The only criticism that we would make Is that Manager Philbln should have immediately yielded in the request for Mahon's removal. Ills lack of judg ment or his dearth of knowledge of the game was quite apparent. It did not require an X-ray to discover it. It was evenly freely admitted by fair-minded Archbaldlans. It must have been ap parent, too, to Mr. Phllbln who. candor compels us to say, Is always irreproach ably just and fair. His only course, therefore,, it would appear, would be the removal of Malum after the second or third kick. He llnully took this step, but after It was of no avail. An addi tional circumstance looking to this end was thut Million was criticized, as we were Informed, for his umpiring in Fri day's game. In discussing Million's work, there Is no Intent to make out that he was par tial with malice aforethought. We don't .doubt that he was honest in his purposes. What Is here said refers to his work as an official. We accord all that Is due him for honest motives; we don't doubt that he meant to be fair; but we are of the opinion, as hundred others were, that umpiring a ball game Is hardly In his line; his work through out clearly demonstrated this. This qualification is made because of the reputation for fairness that Mr. Mahon has among his friends and neighbors. Special-Fare to Scranton. Efforts wei'e successful last night in securing n fifty-cent round trip rate to the ball game at Scranton today. The excursionists will leave on the 1.43 p. m. Delaware and Hudson train and can return on any train before midnight. It Is expected that at least r00 will go from Carbondale. The cheap rate also applies from Jermyn and Archbald. LEON BLY'S WORK.

SELECT COUNCIL ACCEPTS RESIGNATION At Last Night's Meeting It Dissolves City Engineer F. E. Kupp from His Relations with the City Chair man Davis Still Pursuing Mr. Kupp Nathan English for Board of Health Other Business. Select council at Its meeting last night formally accepted the resignation of City Engineer F. K. Kupp, who left the city yesterday to take up his new position with Burke Bros,, the extensive contractors, with headquarters at Scranton. After the acceptance of the resigna tion, Chairman Davis asked council if there was not some way by which the city engineer could be compelled to hand over the specifications of certain surface sewer work which according to Sir. Davis lias not been properly carried out. He specified the sewer recently laid by Contractor Thomas Kllleen, wherein, Sir. Davis said the pipes were laid nt a depth of only two feet, while the specifications called for live. The other members of council, however, could not see how Sir. Kupp could be held, and further believed that as Con-, tractor Kllleen has not as yet been paid, the city has a chance to protect Itself. It was the specifications, how ever, held by Mr. Kupp that Sir. Davis wanted, to see how the work was carried out, and be decided to refer the matter to the streets committee. The name of. Nathan English, was submitted by Slayor O'Nell In place of G. V. Norrls, ns a member of the board of health, the successor of A. R. Tiffany, of the old board. Chairman Davis wanted the name to go over. Sir. Mannlon asked for Immediate con firmation. Finally Dr. Fletcher moved for the suspension of rules and for con firmation without referring to commit tee. This was carried, and Sir. English is now a member of the board ot health, completing that body. The sidewalk ordinance passed final reading, also the lighting contracts for tho city building and the hose house. An ordinance appropriating $172 to pay fire Insurance premiums was In troduced by Chairman Davis and order ed to be printed. The concurrent business from com mon council was adopted. Among the measures were the recommendations for fire hydrants and fire alarm boxes. A resolution providing for the repair of the white bridge on Cottuge street was adopted. Sir. Mannlon endeavored to have Sir. Kennedy's ordinance for lights In the Fourth ward taken up for first reading and Immediately pitched Into Chalr mnn Davis his alleged dilatory tactics In holding the measure up. Finally Mr. Mannlon, after a bustling talk, agreed to let the matter go over until the next meeting. DIPLOMAS TODAY. Graduating Nurses to Receive Cre dentials at Emergency Hospital.
