The delay. however, made the oars

they did not reach here until 1.35 o'clock
this morning. They will go to the lake
during the morning.
The Metropolitans arrived last night,
at the lake; the Philadelphia contin-

The National league teams are one
more game nearer the goal and victory
has attended the leaders and defeat the
tailenders. An average OF twenty
games for each club remains to be
played and unless the unexpected hap
pens-which frequently does In base
ball-the present standing Is about
what the final rating will be.
Baltimore has played 10S games and
Springfield, In the minor league. 107.
The percentage OF the former Is per
cent. behind that of the latter. but
Springfield has less than dozen games

league scores ran above six yesterday.
When we consider also that one of the
games was shut-Out and another a

The injury to johnson leaves Scranton
without a solitary reliable pitcher.
When Piggy Ward was taken out Of the
games at Syracuse Thursday for calling

Manager Irwin, Of the Phill.es, has
signed Arthur Madison, captain Of the
Cooperstown, N. Y. team. He Is said to
be a good hitter and a fine infielder and
will be given a trial at short.
Before Manager Selee. Of Boston, will
agree to manage the New YOrks, he has a
few conditions to make. He wants to
have absolute control of the New York
team, both on and off the field. He wishes
to be able to make whatever changes he
may deem necessary in the makeup of
the team, and also desires the right to
sign or release players at his own discre-
tion. In other words, he IL ambitious to
have as much power at New York as Han
lon has at Baltimore, for without 1t he
claims that success would be impossible.
Selee also wants contract for three
years at least. SO that he can be assured
that time to build UP q championship
team.

GATHERED HERE AND THERE.

Miss Julia C. Allen, who has had for
several years most successful charge of
the violin department of Wyoming
seminary, has found It necessary,
against the earnest wish Of the trus-
tees of the school, to resign from the
position. Miss Allen has not been
strong since her return from a concert
tour through the British Isles last
year. She has built UP a strong violin
department at the seminary. and 1t is
hoped that she will not yet lay aside
a remarkable talent as a violin in
structor. She will be followed at the
seminary by Professor Theodore
Hemberger, of this city.
Rev. 8. c. Logan, d. D.. as chaplain
of the Thirteenth regiment. has been

NATIONAL LEAGUE.

The first four clubs In the National
league won yesterday and the last
three lost, thus widening the already
large gap that had existed between
them. New York suffers an over
whelming defeat at the hands of Cleve-
land, but Brooklyn across the river
turns the tables on Pittsburg by a
very decisive victory. Washington
played two games with Cincinnati and
won and lost. This Is the third time
this week that the Senator engaged in
double contests. Baltimore adds 3 per
cent. more to her standing by defeating
Louisville.
