ARE TALKING BASE BALL
Sandy Griffin and Dan Shannon want
to Locate an Atlantic League
Club Here.

An effort is afoot to locate an Allan
tic league base ball club in this city
next year.
Dan Shannon, manager of the Wilkes
Barre Eastern league team, and Sandy
Griffin, eX-manager of the Scranton
Eatsern league club, and who finished
this season with Wilkes Barre, were
here yesterday negotiating to place an
Atlantic league team in this city. They
conferred with several local admirers
of the game and may succeed in reach
ing a definite plan today.
1t is understood in base ball circles
that Lancaster and Norfolk, on account
of poor patronage, want to be dropped
and will be dropped from the Atlantic
league. With Norfolk out Richmond
cannot remain. Worcester and New
Haven stand ready to take the places
of any two of the three retiring clubs
under the best conditions possible.
"Rasty' Wright and Deacon" Ellis,
the two well-known managers of minor
league teams and brokers in base
ball franchises whenever ii will re-
dound to their profit, are on the alert
to help reorganiZe the Atlantic and in
Cidentally control a franchise or two.
They have had Scranton in mind and
may yet negotiate here despite the visit
of Griffin and Shannon.
The two latter saw a chance to rep
resent a possible Scranton club when
the Atlantic league disbands and its
reorganization takes place. They
reached here yesterday afternoon and
conferred with several local men who
do not want their identity revealed
just now. Shannon returned to Wilkes
Barre last night but will come to
Scranton again today IL his presence
here is needed.
In the event of the establishment of
a club here. Shannon would be it's nom
playing manager and Griffin it's cap
tain and an outflelder. Their planning
has not reached the point where it can
be stated what other interest they
would have in the club.
The Atlantic league is now composed
of Richmond Lancaster, Norfolk, New
ark. Paterson, Reading, Hartford and
Allentown. They finished the season
with Richmond first and Lancaster
second.
Pat Meaney and Frank Ward, two
ex-Scranton players, are in the city
Meaney leaves today for the Pacific
coast where he will play this winter
He began last season with New Or
leans, but was secured by Newark
when the Southern league disbanded
Ward was with Lancaster throughout
| the season.

A HORSES SWIM.

There was an exciting river chase at
Battersea last night, and great say
ing of life.
The chase was about a mile In extent,
and a good deal of life was saved
something approaching a ton.
The hero Of the adventure may be
described as Dobbin. AS a general rule
he is a cab horse, but he has ambi-
tious moments, in which his soul rises
to the level OF ROland's, and is equal
to another charge of the Light Brigade.
Such a moment came last night He
stood in Milman street, waiting for
fares that did not come. A big wind
was blowing Tt was cold, and the fu-
tility and aimless monOtOny Of a cab
horses life entered his soul
DObbin shook his name and stamped
his white foot. iAtavism asserted itself.
The spirity of the ancestral Derby win
ner recurred. Dobbin dashed down the
street, and, having no interfering per-
son to pull the reins, he went mis- own
course This led to the gutter and
the river wall. At the gutter there
was a pOrtentous smash.
The traces broke, a wheel came of,
the cab collapsed. Freed at last from
humdrum trammels, DObbin jumped
on the river wall, which at that point
is low, looked ait the dark river
thought it was tempting, and forthwith
fell over.
Instantly there was a bustle on the
bank. There was shouting and the
noise of boats being cast of from
harges. The horse SWAN to the mid
die OF the stream, with the boats
splashing behind He swami through
Battersea bridge, and struck out again
He headed through a middle arch Oi
Albert bridge, and to his disgust found
that the boats were gaining. ThE
stream helped him, and he dreamed oi
the excitement of Newmarket and t'ht
glories he had been denied. But thers
were shouting crowds on the embank
ment, and lanterns-and that wa
| something.
1t was a gallant race, but the odds
were against the horse. The whlt'
headed him off and drove him TO thl
side. Opposite Battersea Park ther
was a patch Of mud beneath the rive
wall. To this the boats drove him, ang
with a shiver OF soulful Disguise
was It cold?-he landed.
Ultimately they got him to the ROAD
way, and took him back to his stable
