ALMOST Incredible,

(From the Buffalo News.)

(FrOm the Buffalo NeWs.)
Mrs. A. r. Taylor has resided In Buffalo
for over forty years; her address Is ESQ
Herkimer avenue; as professional nurse
she has nursed back to health many suf-

become as familiar to her as to the regu.

the fatigue Of long watching and nuvs-

TODAY'S GAMES.
Between Seven and Ten thousand Per.
sons Expected at tho Contests In This
City and Wilkes. Barre.

When at 1015 o'clock this morning
play Is begun in this city between
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, It Is prob
able that between $500 and 5000 persons
will be on the grounds. Almost the
latter number witnessed the Decoration
Day game. and there is every reason to
believe that today's attendance figures
will at least equal those of May 30.
In the afternoon the two clubs play In
Wilkes Barre.
The management has made every
possible arrangement for handling a
large crowd. Admission and grand
stand tickets will be on sale at Floreys
Wyoming avenue. and from two win
dows at the park; one window Is sit
uated opposite the power house and the
other at the main entrance, an extra en-
trance has been located near the win
dow opposite the power house. A
score OF special policemen have been
engaged, and 1t is expected that good
order will be maintained inside and
outside the grounds before and during
the game.
For Scranton either Meaney or Luby
will pitch, the selection depending upon
who appears in the box for Wilkes
Barre. Belts. the Alllgators' star south
paw twirler, reached Scranton last
night, but whether his presence here
Is coup or whether he Is really slated
to pitch the opening game is question
for the ingenuity of Manager Barnie to
decide. In order to ascertain who
Wilkes-Barre's pitcher will be. 1t Is
probable that Scranton will forfeit the
privilege of going first into the field.
II Belts pitches. Meaney will go In for
Scranton, and Ward will play right
field. as southpaws are a toothsome
morsel to the ex-senator.
UmpiSes Swartwood and Snyder spent
yesterday in this city. and after even
only one days relief from Wilkes Barre
solitude should be able to properly ad-
judicate the contest.
For the afternoon game in Wilkes
Barre the Scranton association has ar
ranged q cheap excursion rate Of 60
cents via the Jersey Central railroad.

Doubtful II oxford or Cambridge Will
Meet Yale.

LonL-.., July 3.-The annual sports
between the oxford and Cambridge
Athletic teams on the grounds of the
Qusen's club. at Kensington, were held
today. the first time they have taken
place during the summer months and
In the height Of the London season.
Cambridge was the winner.
At the conclusion Of the games the
oxford and Cambridge joint commit
tees met and decided they would de-
cline to accept Yale's challenge to meet
the latter with a joint team. Cam
bridge, as the winner of today's con-
tests has the preference in the mat
ter Of meeting Yale singly. They have
not yet decided whether they will do
80 or not. The English universities
seem to think 1t would be unsportsman-
like to compete with Yale singly. The
committee indorsed the remarks made
by President Oakley, Of the Oxford
Athletic club. that such a contest would
be a case OF two to one and not worthy
OF the undertaking and expressed the
opinion that any other American COM
binaton Is seemingly impossible.
