President st. John Says Hs Will Be In

There Is the merriest kind of q war
in progress in the Scranton Base Ball
association. The deposing of Manager
Swift was the melting cause.

who two weeks ago were like Ga happy

to leave the city. Ssaltz refused to

gruntled.
Swift during the day received an Of
fer to manage the Shenandoah club,
and many of the players when they
heard Of it asked for positions on the
team
These things made many of the stock
holders DO some lively thinking, An
informal meeting was held last night
which eight members Of the associa-
tion attended. At its conclusion Pres
ident st. John said to TRIBUNE re-
porter;
You can announce that Mr. Swift
will continue to manage the Scranton
club. We sent for hin tonight, had a
conference and persuaded him to as
sumo charge Of the team again today.
He saw the players and they all agreed
to 60 on the field tomorrow and play
as they have In the past, Mr.. Swift Is
a money maker and we intend to re-.
tain him. II Mr.. Cabill wants to play
on this team hs will have to do 1t in the
capacity of player, provided his ser.
vices are satisfactory to Mr.. Swift"
Alex Dunn, jr., was met soon after
the st. Jehn interview. He saidJ
"Cahill will be here tonight to man
age and captain the club. We will
have all the players we need to
strengthen the club"
AS the question Of manager Ia to be
finally decided at meeting of the as
sociation tonight, there promises to be a
highly interesting session.
In the meantime 1t behooves the
Scranton club TO play ball when it goes
on the field. The patrons of the game
have no particular interest In tae pres
ent contest, but they insist that they
be given an exhibition OF the national
game as it should be played when they
pay their money for admission to the
park.

WILL BE A GREAT REGATTA.
Fine Races at Lake Ariel One Week
from Today

Fine Races nc Lake Ariel One Weok
from Today.
From the entries and assurance of en-
tries already received by Nj. E. Sanders,
chairman Of the Scranton Press clubs
regatta committse, IL is evident that
the races on Lake Ariel next Tuesday
will prove the aquatic wonder of the
year, and that 1t will dwarf the us ual-
ly great regatta Of tho National asso-
citation at Saratoga this week.
While 1t is too early to announce the
entries, as they do not practically
close until next Friday afternoon, 1t
can be stated that those already re-
ceived include some Of the best oars-
men In America, and when it Is under.
stood that these oarsmen will pull a
sculIiug shell mile through the still
water of Lake Ariel in about Q minutes
time for the singles to 81 minutes for
the doubles and fours, the prowsss Of
human energy can be we'll imagined.
Yet such 10 the case. and therefore in
this skill lies the great desidsratnm
that mskes the rowing race by skilled
osrsman full Of the same interest as
tnat which attaches to race between
noted trotsers on the turf.
There Is now no doubt Of the success s
of the regatta, for with eleven scull-
ing races and the great yacht race be-.
tween tho Flying Cloud" and the
Ariel. the latter vessel from Newark,
N. j., there Is sure to be aroused m
enthusiasm which will bring out the
great mass Of people from up and
down the valley, aud from every point
easy of access TO Lake Ariel. Ali that
the people have to do Is to get to Lake
Ariel. There will be no charge there
to see the races.

VERY, VERY ROCKY,
That Was the Condition Of the Scranton
Club Yesterday.

That Was the Condition Of the Scranton
Club Yesterday.
A thoroughly dsmorallzsd ball club
Is what Scranton put on the diamond
yesterday to combat the splendid or
ganization that upholds the colors of
Providence, the premier city Of Little
Rhody"
To start with Donovan did not ap-
parently try to pitch. His company
may not be congenial or perhaps he
has been led to believe he ID not want
ed in Scranton. At any rate he pitched
very poor article OF ball. The other
members Of the club made a desperate
effort to keep right in his class They
refused to accept chances, made err ora
and apparently did about everything
they reasonably could do to assist
Providence to win.
The club was without head. Swift
was not on the bench to direct aft airs
and Cahill had not arrived in the city
That Kind of ball playing will not do
In Scranton There are members OF
the Scranton club who are daservsdly
popular for the work they have done
in the past but they will make a mis-.
take if yesterdays performance is re-
peated. The association cannot afford Ia
tolerate any sulkers in the team and the
man who INDUCES In it now should be
released on the instant. This country is
not SO destitute Of ball players who are
swift enough to play in the Eastern
league but that the places Of the sulk.
ers can be supplied. The men who
wear Scranton uniforms must have
their heart in their work, something
that cannot be said Of more than one
man that had place on the local team
yesterday.
Donovan was hit very hard but O
number Of the base hits that the Provi.
dsnce men secured could have easily
been prevented had the local players
cared to make proper effort to stop
the ball. Johnson was sent into left
field to take Staltz's place, the latter
refusing to play. Wetzel covered CEN
ter and Rogers right field. 1t was o
patchwork outiold and at its best
would have been none too good. John,
son is q clever fielder. but is out of po
sition in left, as his work yesterday
showed.
Tommy Lovett, few years ago one
Of the star twirlers Of tho National
league, was In the box for Providence
and was found for six singles, two dou.

bat for the locals, having single, dou

ball where they chose, so much OF a
cineh did they have on. Scranton's
twirler O. grasiously rendered US as a
bonus with the Troy franchise.
The leaders Of the league made their
position more secure, while Scranton
keeps slowly dsducting from her aver
ages. About all we can be thankful
for these hot days Is that the club from
the "town nssr Scranton" is also on
the downward march. The position Of
