up and asked Mr.. Robinson what

SandOw, the Strong Man.

The great Sandow will make his
first appearance in this city at the
Opera House Wednesday, No
vember 2Ist. at the head Of a
company which has won distinc-
tion and favor everywhere. 1t is
called the Sandow Trocadero Vau-
deville and, apart from the great
athlete himself, is composed Of
artists who have won great reputa-
tions in their respective lines.
Sandow alone is host and show.
His marvellous strength has been
the theme Of widespread CON-
ment and discussion in Europe and
America. His feats Of strength
stand unparalleled by any human
being Of ancient or modern times,
while anatomists have declared
him to be the most perfectly de-
veloped man physically who has
ever lived. Not less astounding
than his feats Of strength is the
remarkable exhibition Of his con
troll over his muscles which he
gives, making the great punches
of muscles in his arms positively
dance in rhythmic time to his va
rious movements.
The organization includes "The
Lucifers. grotesques from the
principal music halls OF London;
Tom Browne, the eminent
double-note whistler; "Eunice
Vance," the peerless chanteuse;
"BilIy Van" comedian, for several

mimic, giving life-like reproduc-
tions of world famous men; The

tonishing aerial acrobats in inde-
scribable feats; and the peerless
Sandow in his remarkable acts of
strength, which have astonished
the world. The entire entertain
ment is under the personal direc-
tion of Mr.. F. Ziegfeld, jr., late
Of the Trocadero Music

NEW LEAGUE AFOOT.
A Movement Started to Form a
Strong Interstate Circuit
for Next Year.

1t is common gossip in Philadelphia
that both tho Eastern and State Base
Ball leagues will die a quiet death at
the end OF the season. as far as the
Pennsylvania clubs connection with
either league is concerned, aud that
there is q probability that Scranton
aud other Pennsylvania clubs will be
represented IN an interstate league with
New Jersey An authoritive sporting
writer says:
The success Of the Pennsylvania
State league during the past two years
has created desire among the larger
cities for an organization which will
be more representative and take in a
greater area Of territory. 1t has been
proposed to turn the State into an Iu.
tsr-ststs league in 1895, and applica-
tiong for franchises from outside cities
have already been received by Sscre-
tary Diddlebosk.
New Jsrssy parties want a circuit
formsd TO include Newark, Trenton,
Camden and Philadelphia in the east,
and Wilmington, Harrisburg, Lancas-
tsF and Reading iu the west. Prsai-
dent Benjamin II. Zsrr, Of Reading,
favors an Interstate league. with Trsn.
tou and Wilmington IN, bat he wants

Eastern league will DO in existence
next year, at least with its present cir

started in New York to form new
lesgue with circuit composed Of New

cuss. Utica aud Rochester, N. Y;
Springfield, Mass, and Providence, r,

lands place in the National league.
and Erie, Wilkes Barre, Scranton and
Binghamton will be lett out in the
cold.
The Eastern league has not paid this
season, and not over two clubs in tbs
circuit have made eny money. Scran-
ton is still State league territory under
the national agreement, and as it is al
ready tired of Eastern league society,
Marty Swift will have no trouble in or.
ganizing club there. Wilkss-Barre,
if it wants base ball, must naturally
drift with Scranton. and with the East
ern league out OF the way. President
Bogert will see his way clear to join
the new organization. The cities avail
able for an Interstate league are Phils-
dslphia. Lancaster. Harrisburg, Read
ing. Allentown, Shenandoah, Potts
vile, Hazleton, Lebanon, Easton,
Scranton and Wilkss-B Barre, In Penn
sylvania; Newark. Trenton and Cam
den in New Jersey; Wilmington, Del.
and Binghamton. N. Y, Out Of these a
good eight, ten or twslvs-club circuit
could be sslestsd.
Whatever is done toward the forma-
tion Of an Interstate league will be
done by the clubs now composing the
Pennsylvania State league, and lit is
safe to say thst all that finish this sea-
son will be found in the circuit next
year, no matter whether it is in State
or an Interstate league.

Boston Herald.
A meeting of the board of directors Of
the Eastern league has been called to meet
in Wilkes-Barre at the Wyoming Valley
hotel. At this meeting applications from
cities to take Bnghamton's place in the
league will be considered. There are two
or three cities after the franchise.
1t is pretty certain that the Pittsburg
club Is playing its last season on the pres
ent grounds. A syndicate has offered to
erect new grand staud, construct new
playing park and to pay part OF the rem
tai OF the old grounds if the club will take
lease Of the new premises for term OF
years. The offer has been practically ac-
cepted.

ner, right field; j. Mullarky, captain. The
James Boys would also like to hear from
the Eurekas for Friday this week.
There was no game at Scranton yester-
day because several Of the players refused
to 60 on the diamond. Those that were
particularly mutinous were Stalt2, Wet
zol and Flanagan. These men are strik
ing IN the hopes that the club will thereby
be forced to throw up its Eastern league
franchise and return to the Pennsylvania
State league. They are aware that as
players they are not strong enough fol
the Eastern league average. or course
they do not give this as their pretOXt but
it is the real one They know that they
will soon be released for lncapacity and
want to StRve this off as long as possible
Buffalo Evening Times.
Catcher Gunson, who was playing right
field In the game of Thursday and who
was hit on the head while at bat by 9
pitched ball, is still confined to his bed al
the Luzerne House, and when he tries tC
get up he gets confused and cannot seem
to hold himself together. The ball which
struck him rebounded clear back to second
base. 1t was an awful crack and the Won
der Is that GunsOn's skull was not frac-
tured. He explains the accident by say
ing that he WAS measuring his distance to
the plate with his bat. He had his head
down and Blackburn pitched up the bal
quickly SO that Gunson had no chance tC
avoid it.-Wilkes Barre Leader.

The pitchers position will not be re.

many pitchers will.
Scranton has proved valuable addition
to the Eastern league-we don't think.
Try again, Pat.-EX.
The New Yorks are now only one game
behind Hanlon's men, and are marking
time with the Bostons.
Pitcher Harper, OF Philadelphia. is said
to look and act like John Clarkson, and
uses the same slow delivery.
Dan Stearns who played first base for
Buffalo the early part Of the season will
play first base for Wilkes Barre.
Shortstop Jennings accepted thirty.four
fielding chances without an error in his
last three games at Eastern park.
The Boston players lose less time from
injuries or sickness than any other team in
the league. They are nearly all short,
stockily-built men.
Captain Anson's colts are coming up
from the rear most beautifully. The old
gentleman will land in the first division al
most to q certainty.

The pitchers Of the Sc. Louis team are
not noted for base stealing. Breitenstein

credit while Arthur Clarkson has yet to

The Bostons are not so "cock sure" of
winning the championship this year as
they were last season at this time. Two
teams are giving them such run that
they know there is pennant race.
Scranton is having some of the expert

waiting for players who had promised to
come but didn t. If she comes out Of it as
strong as Springfield has, 1t will pay TO

Syracuse has signed Catcher Smith OF the
New Bedford club to take the place of
Archie Wilson, whose injuries received in
a recent game were more serious than was
anticipated and necessitated his going
home for treatment.
There is no punishment too severe for the
treatment the sweled heads of the Scran-

blacklisted, no reputable manager will
ever put himself at the mercy Of such men.
