ports. The first volley was unnoticed,
most people considering it merely q
bunch of crackers going off, but when
the racket kept up for several minutes
there was a general scattering of the
crowd for the opposite end of the COM
mon. and within a few minutes the
band was deserted
The Cinnamon set off hundreds Of
punches of crackers, and the racket
( that followed compared very favorably
with the imitation of. the storming Of
San Juan hill, as depicted by the Buff
falo Bill show.
The elaborate display was kept up for
almost 10 minutes, people being attract
ed from all directions. A model repre-
senting Chinese junk, embodying an
arrangement of fireworks, was suspend
ed from the branches of a tree, but
failed to go off, as it should have.
Quong Hop Lung & Co., who have a.
tea store on Commercial street also set
of lot of fireworks last night, and.
judging from the zest shown, natives
of the Flowery Kingdom take very
kindly to July A.

LEONARD TALKS.
Thinks Syracuse Is Good Town and Will
Get Back Again.

Manager Leonard, when seen early
this morning, said: "As far as I am
able to see, Syracuse is a first class ball
town with everything in its favor, and
if am not mistaken Syracuse will
have a chance of getting back into the
league again under new management.
There are a number of people in the
city who have claimed right along that
they would carry the team along pro-
viding new management was secured,
and if they do as they talked, Syracuse
will still have the team. 1t is a favor
able location in every way, and we
could not find city better suited for
franchise in the Eastern league than
Syracuse.
Buffalo is a f1rst-class baseball town
and the manager pulled out of the East
ern at one time to protect himself Now
he would prefer to get back into the
Eastern league, but it will be impossi-
BILE, as the Western league people are
not inclined to give up the town.
At present Buffalo is not getting its
share of the money, and the manage
ment would like to get in. They are in
the hole at present, and do not begin
to get enough money to pull out even"
1T does not make a particle of differ
ence to the Eastern league whether it
Is Buffalo or Syracuse, as we have to
come through Buffalo on the way from
Toronto. Newark does not stand a
chance of getting into the Eastern, as
the Atlantic league people had a load
showed on to them in Paterson last year
and are not inclined to give up such a
good base ball town as Newark"

when E. H. Clark of the Boston Ath-
letic association scored 62441a points.
White, who was second to Powers,
won in hollow fashion last year, and an
idea of Powers performance can best
be gathered from the fact that White
was more than 1900 pointsNbehind him.

Poor Attendance at Games

Syracuse, July 4.-George N. Kuntzsch
has telegraphed President Powers that
he surrendered the Syracuse franchise
in the Eastern League. Mr.. Kuntzsch
paid his players to July l. He has sold
MalarlSey to Utica, expects to sell Lush
to Montreal, and has offered Albany,
Schenectady and Binghamton the 9TH
ers. Dixon, Winters and Woodlock
will probably be sold to the state
league teams.
Mr.. Kuntzsch offers to give his
franchise and team to any one who
will finish the season in Syracuse. AS
he has lost money regularly since the
season opened, it is not probable that
this offer will be accepted. Newark
will probably get the franchise.
