KENNEDY, THE CATCHER, HAS
TURNED FROM NEW YORK AND
CLARK IS HERE.

Eleven Men Are Now Ready to ro Upon
the Diamond and the Twelfth,
"Cappy" Martin, is Due 1
Tonight. I
Nothing but a sovere storm will prevent
the opening of the State League baseball
season here tomorrow. Workmen were
today enuaged in repairing the damaged
fence of the grounds at the Trotting p irk
and everything will be in readiness for
the game tomorrow afternoon.
The home team Is ready for the fray
with eleven men on the grounds. Ken'
nedy, of New York, and Clark, of Circle
ville, Ohio, arrived last night and will be
ready to take their positions. These have
not been decided upon, but it is quite
certain that Kennedy will catch. He
caught for the Brooklyn National
League team for a while last season and
did very good work, so he should make a
good showing in tomorrow's game. He
can throw to second with one movement
and with much better success than many
good men can throw to first. This was
one of the weak points of the home team
last season. The batting material of the
club is also said to be excellent The
players have thus far sent seventeen balls
to the rag pile in practice.
The club as it now stands comprises
William McCoach, Chester; Tim Nevlns,
Columbus, O.; William Severs, Ports'
mouth, O. ; Jim Little, Springfield,
Ohio; Jack Merriman, Philadelphia;
John Sweitzer, Harrlsburg; George
Gill, Philadelphia ; John McGarvey,
Hazleton; Rafferty, of Philadelphia
W. W. Clark, of Clrclevllle, O.; and
Martin Kennedy, of New York. "Cappy"
Martin, an old time favorite who has
recently been playing with the Demorests,
is expected from Williamsport tonight
and In the event of his arrival there will
be twelve men on the grounds tomorrow
afternoon.
The team begins the season with three
pitchers, Nevlns, Severs and McCoach.
Kennedy says hj Is in trim to catch
throughout the season, if necessary and
barring accidents, but William Ford, of
Augusta, Georgia, who i on his way to
Shenandoah will also serve as catcher.
The people of Shenandoah sbould give
the management of the team all possible
encouragement this season, as every effort
has been made to secure good material
and the salaries paid some of the players
are the highest ever paid men on local
base ball teams.
It Is regretted that the team has not
been in better shape in the way of uni
forms for practice and other matters, but
rather than let Pottsvllle claim the first
two games by forfeit the management
has determined to summon all possible
nerve and go Into the opening of the
season for all it is worth.
A Pottsvllle paper says Carbondale will
play at that place on Monday, but that
paper evidently does not keep abreast with
base ball times. The HERALD stated
yesterday that the Shenandoah manage
ment had decided to play the schedule,
and this is so. If Carbondale plays at
'Pottsvllle on Monday the club will forfeit
a game to Shenandoah.
Baldwin will bea mark when some of the
Shenandoah batters get at him".
The Pottsvllle club will wear the same
suits used last year. A large delegation
will accompany the club to town to
morrow. If Shenandoah should defeat Pottsvllle
tomorrow the court house would tumble.
The Jail Birds should have their suits
conform to their name. They would look
odd, but in keeping with the manner the
team stole decisions last season.
The Horrlsburg Telegram says: We
hope that President Hanlon will stand by
his umpires and not consent to their frc
tjuent transfers from one town to another
as long as they measure up to what is
expected of them under the rules.
The uaroonuaie grounds are luuy a
mile north of the city. They are owned
by a fair association and will in time
become excellent. The grand stand has
not been built yet. Just west of the
grounds the mountain side affords a free
grand Btand.
Manager Swift, of Carbondale, says;
"There's a team that Is being overlooked.
While we hear much about Pottsvllle and
Harrisburg nothing Is being said of
Hazleton, yet they have an excellent
chance of winulng the pennant."

NEW COUNTY BILL DEFEATED.
The Quay County Movement Was Knocked
in the Head This Morning;.
Special to tho Hehald.
HAnmsnuno, April 30. The bill to
create the county of Quay came up this
morning and was defeated by a vote of 83
to 02. The enthusiasm of the lower
Luzerne county people was not as great
when the bill came up today as it was
before action on it was postponed the last
time, yet the defeat of the measure made
some of them very sore. Tbe railroad
companies are said to have made a stand
against the bill to avoid Increased taxa
tion which a new county would have in
volved. Strouse's watch charms are elegant and
reasonable in price.

that they might be blown away and lost,
he picked them up and struck them Into
his pocket. Had he tried to find the
owner, or even surrendered the money
when reqnested to do so, he would not
now be In the county J ill, but he was so
fearful that the money would get lost If

At the Theatre.
It Is said that one of the strongest
features of Fanny Rice's new play,
"Nancy," Is the fact that it creates so
much hearty laughter and genuine ap
plause, and at the same time teaches a
wholesome moral lesson. The critics say
that it U so entirely different In construe'
tion from any other play as to be
refreshing and delightful novelty. At
Ferguson's theatre on Thursday evening.

stable hastened to look for medfeal as
slstance and Dr. J. S. Callen responded.
He found that Romanofskl's pnlsetnas

very fair and It was concluded that
man ivas faking.
After some persuasion Romanofskl con
sented to cast aside his fake and explained
the situation, at the same time account
lng for the flooding of the lockup. He
said that during the night he became
desperate and broke the large water pipe
leading to the closet. He then placed his

the purposa of drowning himself. He

his back on the floor of his cell.
