Editor "Sporting Ijife:" If there has been anything in tlirse letters in the past that even inti- mated that the Scrantons mi^ht win the pennant permit me to take it all back here and now. Such an idea did prevail here to some extent while they were playing exhibition games, but since the championship season began it has been very thoroughly exploded. Just think of it downed four successive times by Ha- zleton, which was supposed to be one of the "snaps." It might be well to say right here that the team that picks Hanlou's pets out for a snap are pretty near-certain to get left. He has a lively lot of players, who never know when they are beat. During the Hazleton games here two members of that team distinguished themselves by assaulting Umpire Wag- ner. In tho first game Angle Moral) (or Mohriiig) took offense at a strike called by tho umpire, and, picking up the ball, let it drive at that official's head. Tho ball struck the protector, and the um- pire very leniently let the little thing off with stmply removing him from the game. The next day Pitcher Jack Fee, no doubt encouraged by Moran's easy escape for a similar imaginary offense, deliberately walked up to the umpire and "soaked" him in the neck. Mr. Wagner inflicted the same heavy penalty remov- al from the game. An umpire's life will not be worth much in this League if hoodlum players are let off this easy. I don't know just what the trouble is with the Scrantons at present, but they are not doing the work they are capable of by any means. With one or two ex- ceptions, the players seem in a somnolent condition, and balls that should be sure outs develop into two and three- base hits or are rumbled long enough to give the runners their base. A striking illustration of this was had in to-day's game, when two of Kelly's ice-wagons scored on a little out to first base. Notwithstanding the poor record of the team thus far, fully 3(/^. people were present to-day and witnessed the locals present a game to Kelly's Killers. The Scrantons outbatted Allentown and should have won hands down, but stupid playing and rank errors rendered this impossible. There will be a radical change in the gate receipts very shortly unless there is better work done. Catcher Rogers arrived here on Fri- day last. We had begun to think he had gone to join Roberts.

NOT LUCK, That Is Keeping the Browns Well up in the Race Chats With Pitchers Clarkson and King The Latter'a Discourse on Thrift News and Gos- sip. St. Louis, Mo., May 8. Editor "Sport- ing Life." The Browns are now ahead on a brief swing around the Western circuit. Besides the three games played at Pittsburg the team will play three games each at Cleveland, Cincinnati and Louisville, and return May 18, open- ing nt Sportsman's Park with the Cin- ciunatis. MUN6OJT rx HOPEFUL MOOD. Secretary Munson says that Captain Miller has been given charge of the team for tiie entire trip, although Mr. Yon der Ahe has gone along to look after the finances. In speaking of the team's good work, Mr. Munson said: "Our nine has been the surprise of the season among the baseball critics of the East, who predict that we wouldn't be one, two ten in the race from the start. Now that vr» hav» been playing winning ball, they attribute it to our luck in having good weather during the prelimi- nary practice, thus enabling us to get in good playing condition before the other clubs. "This theory Is false on the face of it, as the Browns showed by then- bat- tery, team and stick work that they are capable of putting up a superior article of ball. Judging the Browns by their work since the opening of the season, they ought to capture the majority of games on the trip." A KKMINDER OF OLD TIMES. While tha Clevelnnds were hero, Pitcher John Clarkson talked interest- ingly of old times. Said he: "Though I am not a drinking roan, beyond an occasional glass of beer, the shock re- sulting from our defeat by St. Louis at Sportsman's Park during the Chicago- Browns world's championship series drove me for a few rounds to the bowl that flows and bubbles. We played the Browns in Cincinnati two days later, and Ansou's temper was still 120 or so in the shade. He ordered me to stay in the hotel and not to appear on the grounds. This cut me to the quick, and after the team had left for the grounds I reinforced myself with several strong Kentucky injections, put on my uniform and rode to the grounds in a street car. "When I walked into the dressing room Anson asked rne if I thought I was iu good playing condition. I said yen. " 'You're in good shape for bowling, that's about all, so you go back to the hotel," said Ans. "The blame in that memorable St. Louis-Chicago game was laid to the pitcher. It always is when you lose. But it was Abner Dalrymple's inisjudg- meut of a fly ball that lost that gains." KING ON THRIFT. Charley King, the ex-pretzel, and a wearer of Brown hosiery in the days when the Browns were Association stars, arises to correct certain statements made by Bug Holliday, the Queen City outtielder. The Bug asserts that King shaves himself to save the price, takes iu his own washing, walks two miles to savo street car fare, wears dark shirts to save laundry, and otherwise "shaves off the corners." "That interview published about mo was dirty and insulting, and I will call Holliday to account for it when I see him again," said King the other day to Joe Campbell, of the "Chronicle." "Be- cause I managed to save some money Holliday calls me a jay and a miser. Holliday, like other ball players I know, prides himself on being a good fellow. There are plenty of good fel- lows ill the workhouse. Fred Dunlap v.:» fruyed by the players ber.tuse he unveil his money. But he gave thorn all the laugh. He could afford to. Look at him to-day. He is well fixed while all the good fellows who laughed at him are broke. Holliday can laugh at me for saving my money, but like Fred Dunlap I can get the last laugh in on him." King is worth about $15,000. Ho is a partner with his father in the con- tracting business in St. Louis. PICK-UPS. If the Browns give their batteries any kind of support St. Louis will finish at least fifth in the race. That is the opinion of Cy 1'ouug, the Spiders' pitcher. John Clarkson has just signed a con- tract to coach the Yale ball team for another season. Miller, Peitz and Shugart are the only hard hitters on the team. "The Browns are playing the hustling style of ball that Comiskey taught. They take chances, too. A man can't win out in this world unless he takes chances," says Umpire John McQuaid. Now that Peitz is a fixture on first base. Buckley will be called upon to do the bulk of the catching for St. Louis. Captain Tebeati believes the Bostons are .practically as strong as ever, and that Charley's Bennett's absence will not materially handicap their effective- ness. Dick Bnckley's arm is rapidly develop- ing correct action, and the chances are that Dick will be in perfect order with- in a fortnight, so far as throwing to bases is concerned. Breitenstein is one of the lowest-sal- aried and most effective pitchers in the League. It Is said there is a hostile Clarkson and Young faction in the Cleveland team. Kid Oleason, though an old, seasoned League patcher, still seems to be both- ered by the impost of distance placed on the twirler last season. The Kid, however, is essentially a hot weather pitcher, and will have his Innings when the mercury flies higher. CONFIDENCE RETURNING. Easton Bracing up Despite Internal Troubles and Accidents to Players. Easton, Pa., May 7. Editor "Sport- ing Life:" The Easton Base Ball Club is experiencing a run of mis- fortune at the very beginning of the season. During the first half of the sixth inning of last Monday's game with Buffalo, Captain Levis had reached first on a base hit, and was trying to steal second base when hj found it was necessary to slide, and In doing so his right foot was turned to one side break- ing a small bone and dislocating his ankle. Of all hard hick this was the worst that could have happened at this stage of the game, as it left the team without a head, and demoralized the whole team. lie is doing finely, and expects to join the team when they re- turn from their trip on May 24. In Thursday's game with Allentown, Pitcher Wilson had one of his fingers badly hurt, and Pitcher Hughes also hud his -finger split in Friday's game, so the team is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Easton opened the championship sea- son on Wednesday with Alleutowu, and owing largely to tho absence of Captain Levis were given the worst whipping it has been our lot to experience. Not a hit or run was scored, and we were defeated by a score of 0 to 0. There were 1500 people present, and they wore disgusted with the case of stagefright with which the home team was r. tfiict- ed. Allentown has won 3 of the 4 games played so far, but when next we meet there will be a different story to 'S American Association iOPTED BY T0E WESTERH LORE FOB 1894. BALL.

Little Gillen pitched a groat gnmo, and should have won had the team given him proiier support. King Kelly showed scant courtesy In his two trips to Easton, in not calling to See Captain Levis, althoi gh stopping at the same hotel, but ho nevtr failed to find the "soda water fountain." Thomas Uaub, an amateur from Phillipsburg, has been signed. His play- ing so far could not be beat. An application has been received from Umpire Manlove, who umpired last year in the State League, for a position this year. Secretary Diddlebock should en- gage him at once, as he was one of the best umpires that wore a chest protector last season. With him on the staff, such disgraceful exhibitions as happened at Scranton would not occur. Owing to a squabble among ths di- rectors, Business Manager Parks re- signed from the club last Wednesday evening and sold his stock. But Hustler "Billy was missed, and was again elected on Friday and took. charge of the team again. It was owing to his earnest work that Easton has a bull club, and Ills re-election was only ju»t and proper. There are a couple of weak spots on the team which should be plugged up, and to attain that end the directors of the club have signed Andy Fuller, of St. Louis, and George Clark, last year's captain of ths Brockton Club. Lafayette defeated Lehigh in an ex- citing 10-lnning game at the Fair grounds to-day. The students own the town to-night. To the kicking cranks who expect the home club to win every game, allow me to stats that the season Is yet young, and it is a long time yet before ths Bag falls. FORK. CRESCENT CITY CONFIDENT That Campau's Team Will Easily Land the Pennant. New Orleans. La., May 6. Editor "Sporting Life. The season has passed another week and the changes In the Southern League have been few and far between and necessarily of little import- ance. The Charlestons have their com- manding lead itill and it seems like they will hold it until peihapa after they have made their initial trip, after which we can see what material their team is made of. Macon still persists in bring- ing up the rear, and besides, are no doubt losing money. They ara now strengthening and »eem to be doing some better, winning a game every now and then. But New Orleans, our own favorites, are the ones over whom we keep an eagle eye, because this season the pen- nant must come over in this division, and tha Pelicans are our choice for the tlag; their chances to-day are as pood as any team. We are in the middle, standing fourth, but then half of our trip is over now, and we can no doubt close the narrow margin when the team returns to its native heath, which will occur May 20, when tha ''Campaus" will pro- ceed to devour Ted Sullivan and the Gate City enthusiasts.

Hiley, the new pitcher, otliciated in the Grist game in Savannah, ami lost it in the first inning, after which Flood was substituted, and pitched great ball; no t:se. Too late! Campau contiucs his good work with the but. and on the buses,also, Camp, is a cooil man. Xevv Orleans surprised us all by losing two games to Macon. and the surprise was greater when they defeated Savan- nah two games in their .series.

A City League lias been formed of six clubs, who will play games at Ferror's Park, the season's winner to receive $300, which is deposited equally by the clubs composing the League. It is said that Baltimore has agreed to farm out pitcher Baker to the home team until they need his ser- vices. While "farming" is poor busi- ness, we wil be glad to welcome Kirth- ley to our ranks.

SCRANTON SCRAPS.

The Poor Showing of the I;Of:t.i Team and tho Cuusus Thereof.

Scrnuton, May 7. Editor "Sporting Ijife:" If there has been anything in tlirse letters in the past that even inti­ mated that the Scrantons mi^ht win the pennant permit me to take it all back here and now. Such an idea did prevail here to some extent while they were playing exhibition games, but since the championship season began it has been very thoroughly exploded. Just think of it downed four successive times by Ha- zleton, which was supposed to be one of the "snaps."

It might be well to say right here that the team that picks Hanlou's pets out for a snap are pretty near-certain to get left. He has a lively lot of players, who never know when they are beat.

During the Hazleton games here two members of that team distinguished themselves by assaulting Umpire Wag­ ner. In tho first game Angle Moral) (or Mohriiig) took offense at a strike called by tho umpire, and, picking up the ball, let it drive at that official's head. Tho ball struck the protector, and the um­ pire very leniently let the little thing off with stmply removing him from the game. The next day Pitcher Jack Fee, no doubt encouraged by Moran's easy escape for a similar imaginary offense, deliberately walked up to the umpire and "soaked" him in the neck. Mr. Wagner inflicted the same heavy penalty remov­ al from the game. An umpire's life will not be worth much in this League if hoodlum players are let off this easy.

I don't know just what the trouble is with the Scrantons at present, but they are not doing the work they are capable of by any means. With one or two ex­ ceptions, the players seem in a somnolent condition, and balls that should be sure outs develop into two and three- base hits or are rumbled long enough to give the runners their base. A striking illustration of this was had in to-day's game, when two of Kelly's ice-wagons scored on a little out to first base.

Notwithstanding the poor record of the team thus far, fully 3(/^. people were present to-day and witnessed the locals present a game to Kelly's Killers. The Scrantons outbatted Allentown and should have won hands down, but stupid playing and rank errors rendered this impossible. There will be a radical change in the gate receipts very shortly unless there is better work done.

Catcher Rogers arrived here on Fri­ day last. We had begun to think he had gone to join Roberts.

ST. LOUIS SIFTINGS.SECRETARY MUNSON SAYS IT'S

ABILITY. NOT LUCK,

That Is Keeping the Browns Well up in the Race Chats With Pitchers Clarkson and King The Latter'a Discourse on Thrift News and Gos­ sip.

St. Louis, Mo., May 8. Editor "Sport­ ing Life." The Browns are now ahead on a brief swing around the Western circuit. Besides the three games played at Pittsburg the team will play three games each at Cleveland, Cincinnati and Louisville, and return May 18, open­ ing nt Sportsman's Park with the Cin- ciunatis.

MUN6OJT rx HOPEFUL MOOD.Secretary Munson says that Captain

Miller has been given charge of the team for tiie entire trip, although Mr. Yon der Ahe has gone along to look after the finances. In speaking of the team's good work, Mr. Munson said: "Our nine has been the surprise of the season among the baseball critics of the East, who predict that we wouldn't be one, two ten in the race from the start. Now that vr» hav» been playing winning ball, they attribute it to our luck in having good weather during the prelimi­ nary practice, thus enabling us to get in good playing condition before the other clubs.

"This theory Is false on the face of it, as the Browns showed by then- bat­ tery, team and stick work that they are capable of putting up a superior article of ball. Judging the Browns by their work since the opening of the season, they ought to capture the majority of games on the trip."

A KKMINDER OF OLD TIMES.While tha Clevelnnds were hero,

Pitcher John Clarkson talked interest­ ingly of old times. Said he: "Though I am not a drinking roan, beyond an occasional glass of beer, the shock re­ sulting from our defeat by St. Louis at Sportsman's Park during the Chicago- Browns world's championship series drove me for a few rounds to the bowl that flows and bubbles. We played the Browns in Cincinnati two days later, and Ansou's temper was still 120 or so in the shade. He ordered me to stay in the hotel and not to appear on the grounds. This cut me to the quick, and after the team had left for the grounds I reinforced myself with several strong Kentucky injections, put on my uniform and rode to the grounds in a street car.

"When I walked into the dressing room Anson asked rne if I thought I was iu good playing condition. I said yen.

" 'You're in good shape for bowling, that's about all, so you go back to the hotel," said Ans.

"The blame in that memorable St. Louis-Chicago game was laid to the pitcher. It always is when you lose. But it was Abner Dalrymple's inisjudg- meut of a fly ball that lost that gains."

KING ON THRIFT.Charley King, the ex-pretzel, and a

wearer of Brown hosiery in the days when the Browns were Association stars, arises to correct certain statements made by Bug Holliday, the Queen City outtielder. The Bug asserts that King shaves himself to save the price, takes iu his own washing, walks two miles to savo street car fare, wears dark shirts to save laundry, and otherwise "shaves off the corners."

"That interview published about mo was dirty and insulting, and I will call Holliday to account for it when I see him again," said King the other day to Joe Campbell, of the "Chronicle." "Be­ cause I managed to save some money Holliday calls me a jay and a miser. Holliday, like other ball players I know, prides himself on being a good fellow. There are plenty of good fel­ lows ill the workhouse. Fred Dunlap v.:» fruyed by the players ber.tuse he unveil his money. But he gave thorn all the laugh. He could afford to. Look at him to-day. He is well fixed while all the good fellows who laughed at him are broke. Holliday can laugh at me for saving my money, but like Fred Dunlap I can get the last laugh in on him."

King is worth about $15,000. Ho is a partner with his father in the con­ tracting business in St. Louis.

PICK-UPS.If the Browns give their batteries any

kind of support St. Louis will finish at least fifth in the race. That is the opinion of Cy 1'ouug, the Spiders' pitcher.

John Clarkson has just signed a con­ tract to coach the Yale ball team for another season.

Miller, Peitz and Shugart are the only hard hitters on the team.

"The Browns are playing the hustling style of ball that Comiskey taught. They take chances, too. A man can't win out in this world unless he takes chances," says Umpire John McQuaid.

Now that Peitz is a fixture on first base. Buckley will be called upon to do the bulk of the catching for St. Louis.

Captain Tebeati believes the Bostons are .practically as strong as ever, and that Charley's Bennett's absence will not materially handicap their effective­ ness.

Dick Bnckley's arm is rapidly develop­ ing correct action, and the chances are that Dick will be in perfect order with­ in a fortnight, so far as throwing to bases is concerned.

Breitenstein is one of the lowest-sal­ aried and most effective pitchers in the League.

It Is said there is a hostile Clarkson and Young faction in the Cleveland team.

Kid Oleason, though an old, seasoned League patcher, still seems to be both­ ered by the impost of distance placed on the twirler last season. The Kid, however, is essentially a hot weather pitcher, and will have his Innings when the mercury flies higher.

CONFIDENCE RETURNING.

Easton Bracing up Despite Internal Troubles and Accidents to Players. Easton, Pa., May 7. Editor "Sport­

ing Life:" The Easton Base Ball Club is experiencing a run of mis­ fortune at the very beginning of the season. During the first half of the sixth inning of last Monday's game with Buffalo, Captain Levis had reached first on a base hit, and was trying to steal second base when hj found it was necessary to slide, and In doing so his right foot was turned to one side break­ ing a small bone and dislocating his ankle. Of all hard hick this was the worst that could have happened at this stage of the game, as it left the team without a head, and demoralized the whole team. lie is doing finely, and expects to join the team when they re­ turn from their trip on May 24. In Thursday's game with Allentown, Pitcher Wilson had one of his fingers badly hurt, and Pitcher Hughes also hud his -finger split in Friday's game, so the team is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

Easton opened the championship sea­ son on Wednesday with Alleutowu, and owing largely to tho absence of Captain Levis were given the worst whipping it has been our lot to experience. Not a hit or run was scored, and we were defeated by a score of 0 to 0. There were 1500 people present, and they wore disgusted with the case of stagefright with which the home team was r. tfiict- ed. Allentown has won 3 of the 4 games played so far, but when next we meet there will be a different story to

tell. Little Gillen pitched a groat gnmo, and should have won had the team given him proiier support.

King Kelly showed scant courtesy In his two trips to Easton, in not calling to See Captain Levis, althoi gh stopping at the same hotel, but ho nevtr failed to find the "soda water fountain."

Thomas Uaub, an amateur from Phillipsburg, has been signed. His play­ ing so far could not be beat.

An application has been received from Umpire Manlove, who umpired last year in the State League, for a position this year. Secretary Diddlebock should en­ gage him at once, as he was one of the best umpires that wore a chest protector last season. With him on the staff, such disgraceful exhibitions as happened at Scranton would not occur.

Owing to a squabble among ths di­ rectors, Business Manager Parks re­ signed from the club last Wednesday evening and sold his stock. But Hustler "Billy was missed, and was again elected on Friday and took. charge of the team again. It was owing to his earnest work that Easton has a bull club, and Ills re-election was only ju»t and proper.

There are a couple of weak spots on the team which should be plugged up, and to attain that end the directors of the club have signed Andy Fuller, of St. Louis, and George Clark, last year's captain of ths Brockton Club.

Lafayette defeated Lehigh in an ex­ citing 10-lnning game at the Fair grounds to-day. The students own the town to-night.

To the kicking cranks who expect the home club to win every game, allow me to stats that the season Is yet young, and it is a long time yet before ths Bag falls.

CRESCENT CITY CONFIDENT

That Campau's Team Will Easily Land the Pennant.

New Orleans. La., May 6. Editor "Sporting Life. The season has passed another week and the changes In the Southern League have been few and far between and necessarily of little import­ ance. The Charlestons have their com­ manding lead itill and it seems like they will hold it until peihapa after they have made their initial trip, after which we can see what material their team is made of. Macon still persists in bring­ ing up the rear, and besides, are no doubt losing money. They ara now strengthening and »eem to be doing some better, winning a game every now and then.

But New Orleans, our own favorites, are the ones over whom we keep an eagle eye, because this season the pen­ nant must come over in this division, and tha Pelicans are our choice for the tlag; their chances to-day are as pood as any team. We are in the middle, standing fourth, but then half of our trip is over now, and we can no doubt close the narrow margin when the team returns to its native heath, which will occur May 20, when tha ''Campaus" will pro­ ceed to devour Ted Sullivan and the Gate City enthusiasts.

which included a fracas by Ted Sulli­ van and $50 worth of fines on tha "Count." Tins game ended 1 to 0, and as Sylvester uuii-ired there is no telling what the game would have been with an intelligent person as umpire.

Hiley, the new pitcher, otliciated in the Grist game in Savannah, ami lost it in the first inning, after which Flood was substituted, and pitched great ball; no t:se. Too late!

Campau contiucs his good work with the but. and on the buses,also, Camp, is a cooil man.

Xevv Orleans surprised us all by losing two games to Macon. and the surprise was greater when they defeated Savan­ nah two games in their .series. Cliarlos- ton captured the first game Friday from tha Pelicans, but maybe we will come in on the homestretch.

A City League lias been formed of six clubs, who will play games at Ferror's Park, the season's winner to receive $300, which is deposited equally by the clubs composing the League.

It is said that Baltimore has agreed to farm out pitcher Baker to the home team until they need his ser­ vices. While "farming" is poor busi­ ness, we wil be glad to welcome Kirth- ley to our ranks.
