An international championship is on
its way to Scranton. 1t Is to be brought
here by the first man who ever brought
to this city an American championship
in any line of sport, Jerome II. Keogh,
the young pool wonder.
The negotiations set afoot by the
Brunswick Bake Calender company in
August have eventuated in a meeting
being arranged between Mr.. Keogh
and John Roberts, of London, the Eng
lish champion. 1t is to take place in
London, the time to be set by Mr..
Keugh.
Mr. Keogh placed his part in the mat
ter in the hands Of the Sporting Editor
of The Tribune. After considerab BILE
correspondence the following letter,
agreeing to a match and Mr.. Keogh's
terms was received yesterday:
G, Albany Court Yard,
Piccadilly, w.
Goth October, 1877.
Sporting Editor Scranton Tribune.
Dear Sir: l am willing to play MIR.
keogh on the terms mentioned when ne
gotiating with Mr. De Oro viz, to play
at English pyramid continuous pool. For
details beg to refer you 10 the American
sporting papers, Faithfully yours,
John Roberts.
TERMS SATISFACTORY.
Mr.. Keogh is perfectly agreeable to
the general terms, which were suggest
ed by the Brunswick Bake Calender
people, and If there is no disagreement
in the matter of details he will proceed
to London i'm a short time to conquer
the British champion. one Of the pro-
visions is that he is allowed 81 900 for
the expenses of himself and manager.
English and American pool differs
slightly, the main discrepancies being
in the shape of the table and some of
the minor rules. Mr. Keogh knows the
English game theoretically and is con-
fident that with six weeks training he
Will know practically, just as we'll as
he does the American game, and what
he doesn't know about the American
game of pool isn't worth knowing.
Mr. KeOgh will play him at his own
game for the English championship,
and if the Englishman will agree to
play 500 points English and 500 points
American. he will back himself for any
amount of money.
Roberts is both billiard and pool
champion of England, and has been
for many years. He came to this coun-
try once and played exhibition games
and created very favorable impress
sion. He won at the English game
from everybody he met. but could not
hold his own at all against the Ameri-
can crack-a Jacks when it came to their
own game.
MANUFACTURER AND PLAYER.
He is man of over so years, and is
said to be quite wealthy. He Is a
manufacturer of pool and billiard
tables in addition to conducting the
largest and most fashionable billiard
parlors in London. the famous Egyp-
tian Hall. 1t is here that all the great
English matches are played, and here
it is likely KeOgh will before many
months be evoking exclamations of
wonder.

1t looks like Boston True there are
over thirty games to be played before the
close of the season, and there may be rad
ical changes in the standing of the clubs
by that time, but barring accidents to
Boston and phenomenal run of luck to
Baltimore Cincinnati or New York the
Beaneaters will win out.
Selee's men are now Strengthened out
for the run home and they are making
killing pace for the other clubs. The
team is in excellent condition and play
ing better together than it has at any
time in the season. Every man is play
ing grand ball. The pitchers are all in
fine trim, while they have the support of
two of the best backstops in the league.
AT one time during the past week it
looked like Baltimore might be a formid
able opponent of the Beaneaters. For
two days the orioles were within three
points of the leaders, but then followed
two shutouts administered by Cleveland
and Hanlon's men took tumble. Boston
won five out of the six games during the
week, increasing its percentage 10 points.
Baltimore won four and lost two games
Its percentage is exactly the same, but
Bostons lead is 10 points greater than
last week. OF course, the Orioles cannot
be counted out of the race by any means.
They have more than a fighting chance.
and it would not be out of order for them
to make a garrison finish and win by
neck
Cincinnati won three out of five games
played and dropped two points in the per-
centage table. The Reds can be depend
ed upon to make a hard fight for third
place, but they cannot be considered in
the Temple cup series.
New York advanced fourteen points in
percentage. The Giants won five and lost
but one game during last week Joyce is
doing everything he can to get a whack at
the Temple cup money, and is working
his men well. bad week for Baltimore
or Boston would have a bull effect on
New Yorkis chances for second place, but
such a turn of affairs is improbable,
though nothing is impossible in base ball.
Cleveland remains i'll fifth place, with
Chicago ending up the first division. Pitts
burg leads the second division, with
Louisville but eight points behind. Stall
ings' Phillies are in ninth position, with
Brooklyn, Washington and st. Louis
bringing up the rear in the order named.
The race for the pennant is one of the
most interesting in several years. The
scores of the games are watched and read
with eagerness by the fans in Savannah.
Some of them are so anxious to get the
returns that they cannot wait for the
paper, but Boston and Baltimore are the
favorites, with about an equal following.

STATE TAN RATE.
The Governor Decides Against the
Extra Levy for the school Fund.


Atlanta. Ca, Aug. 2L-Ciov. Atkinson to-
day issued the order fixing the tax rate
for the present year.
The rate was fixed az 5.2l mills based
upon a total valuation of property as re-
turned to the controller general of SAC. 000-
600 in round numbers.
Last year the tax rate was 456 mills,
which shows that this years tax is 60
more than last year The items of the
levy are as follows: School fund, $50
mills; sinking fund. &c mills; pensions,
1.5O mills, and general governmental pur-
poses. 1.95 mills. The rate is somewhat
lower than was expected on account of the
decision of the government not to levy
tax to raise the 100000 increase of the
school fund, which is to be available next
year.
One construction of the tax act passed at
the last session of the legislature was that
this 100000 should be raised this fall and
thus be on hand ready for the payment
of teachers next year when the school
appropriation was to be $l,000,G00.
The decision was, however, that money
could not be raised by taxation this year
TO meet an appropriation of next year,
and hence the lower rate.
In speaking of the rate this morning
Gov. Atkinson stated that if there were
no pensions and school funds the general
expenses of the government could be paid
out of the revenues of the state without
the collection of any tax, which shows
that the state government is very ecOno-
micallV administered
