How the Clubs Stand.
KELLY LOSES HIS NERVE.
Allentown FOrfeits a Hard-FOught-
For Game at Harrisburg.

AS the game with Allentown was the
thirteenth played by the Harrisburgs. and
it had won twelve, many superstitious
friends of the Harrisburg team were fear
full that King Kelly's men would be victor
ious yesterday at Harrisburg. The weather
was threatening, and rain fell during the
afternoon, but Notwithstanding these un-
favorable conditions over 5000 people wit
messed the contest.
The visitors obtained good lead early in
the battle, ewing to good hitting and rank
errors by Harrisburg, but in the eighth in
ming, amid deafening cheers, Allentown
was passed. In the ninth the visitors tied
the score. after one of the Harrisburgers
had been retired and two men were on
bases in the tenth, Wright lifted the ball
between right and center and made a
home run, scoring three runs. He was
carried on the shoulders Of the crowd, and
pandemonium seemed to have been let
loose. Three additional runs were made,
when King Kelly resorted to every ex-
pedient to have the game delayed, In the
hope that he would save his club from de-
feat. He first threw the ball over the
bleachers. Another was secured, and then
he insisted that the immense crowd be
his men failed to take their places at the
bat. The umpire, after due notice, declared
the game in favor of the Harrisburgers, by
the score of to o.
Kelly gave serious blow to the State
League by taking his club to Altoona,
where it is scheduled to play on Friday
and Saturday. The club was scheduled to
play at Harrisburg today, but Kelly was
50 chagrined by his defeat that he declared
his purpose not to allow the Harrisburg
manager to make 500 with his assistance
He claims that the necessary police pro-
lection had not been accorded his club
Outside the enthusiasm of the crowd it was
one of the most orderly that has ever
witnessed game the Harrisburg
grounds.
Mike Kelly reached Altoona at midnight
with his Allentown ball team, and saws
they were stoned off the field at Harris
burg by a mob. He received a telegram
from President Johnson of the Allentown
club. ordering him to return to Harrisburg
to play there today.

FIGHTING THE DIVERS.
The spool Room King" De Lacey,
Wins the First Round.

Pete De Lacey, the bookmaker who has
started out to make 1t uncomfortable for
the Dwyer brothers, had an inning yester-
day in the Adams street police court, Brook
Ign. where Phil. Dwyer. president Of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club, was arraigned on
the charge Of maintaining and conducting
lottery at the Gravesend race track
Dwyer plead not guilty, and was held in
$1,000 for examination at 10 o'clock this
morning.
De Lacey was not in court himself but
regards the arrest of Dwyer as victory for
his side. Whether he succeeds or not in Sc
curing Dryers conviction on the charge,
he will, he says, continue to have the race
stake race at the Gravesend track He will
not stop even at arresting the proprietors
Of the course. but may seize the horses

be any horse racing.

day shows conclusively that there are a

Of common pleas. 1t is his intention to get
a decision on the point as to the constitu-
tionality of the Ives law in the state.
Lawyers Of high standing have declared
that it is clearly unconstitutional, and that
racing is properly lottery; but whether
the courts will help De Lacey to continue
his war OH the race track owners cannot
be known. But it is conceded that De
Lacey Is a good fighter, even though his
motive is revenge for the destruction Of his
own business He displayed good fighting
qualities when he rendered practically
worthless the racing property Of the Dwy-
ers at Elizabeth, N. J. His contention is
that there Is no more warrant for racing
in the laws Of New York than in those Of
New Jersey.

Eject of Yesterday's Games.

The three games which were scheduled to
be played by Philadelphia at Boston today
tomorrow and Saturday have been trans
ferred to Philadelphia. This was occasioned
by the burning of the grand stand and
bleachers at the Boston Ball Park on Tues
day. Baltimore and Boston played at the
old brotherhood park in Boston yesterday
but as the accommodations are inadequate
and the playing field in a poor condition. it
was deemed best to play the games at Phil
adephia.
AS Baltimore was defeated, while Phila-
delphia, for a third time, lowered the colors
of New York, Manager TWINS men are
once more in second place. and Pittsburg
is tied with the monumental city team for
third place. New York and Brooklyn meet
for the first time today, and a great game
Is expected. These teams are now on even
terms for seventh place. as are also Chicago
and Louisville for the tenth position
