The more President N. +. Young's stan
Of ump!res for this season are tried the

Replying to an article In the Leader,
which intimated that the Scranton base
ball team was simply no good" The
Tribune Of that town says: scranton
ought to take a day off and give Carbon
dale q good spanking Just to take the swell
out Of her head" II date can be ar
ranged, however, when the soup eaters
are In the best Of condition we will go out
to their funeral with the greatest Of
pleasure. Carbondale never found any
difficulty In defeating Harrisburg and the
only redeeming features In the Scranton
soup eaters are the three senators they
secured from our State league. 1.-THE Trib-
une's proof reader and compositors must
have conspired to not credit Wilkes
Barre paper with the above paragraph,
which The Tribune copied. However we
might rise to remark that there are idiots
among base ball writer's the same as in
other walks of life and possibly this ap-
plies to the Leader man, whose bump Of
recollection does not contain the game on
the Carbondale grounds before the season
opened and in which Carbondale was
spanked 10 to 1. The Scranton club Is
rank now, but goodness knows It was
ranker when the toy game was played
with Carbondale. Don't get swelled
head. Mr. Leader man,
