HAS THE DEAL BEEN MADE.
Reported at Wilkesbarre That Cough.
lin and Patton Have Been Bought.

The Wilkesbarre correspondent of the
Sporting Life says that the latest advices
are to the effect that Manager Irwin of
the Washington League team has closed
with the Wilkesbarre management for the
purchase of Third Baseman Coughin and
Pitcher Case" Patton for 81, 500
The correspondent writes: LAS that was
the figure asked for these two stars and a.
telegram from the Washington manager
said, Send on the men, must have them
and with the national treasury so close at
hand, $500 is d mere bagatelle to Art
When these men report at Washington
that team will have five old 'Barons on its
score card, viz: Bonner, Freeman, Ather-
ton. Coughlin and Patton.
But what does all this mean to the
Wilkesbarre team and club? 1t Is a big
price and a great temptation to financial
fall off here? Twas said Stegmaier, Rut-
ledge ct al. were out for the pennant this
year with the strong 'Barons.' but l guess
that idea is given up, to judge from the
big lead of Richmond and the sale of the
stars of the team. / guess the manage
ment is playing for hunk regardless of
the future of the game here. / don't think,
though. that any one would advise the re-
tention of Coughlin and Patton and the
sacrifice of the $500. A big bid, surely,
for minor leaguers. I have an idea that
the middle OF July will see base ball prac-
tically done for in this town, so far as the
Atlantic League is concerned. The at
tendance naturally falls off after the 4th,
to, be disrupted the end seems to be in
sight "

took the first set easily, his long drives and
ground strokes being unusually fine. Paret
won the second set by fast work and clever,
careful play. Then the Yale man rushed
to the net and outplayed his adversary at
every point. Although hes often attempted
it, Paret appeared unable to pass Allen,
who seemed to be in every part of the
court, and whose judgment as to the ball
was seldom at fault.

Pennsylvania University Athletes to
Take Part in the OIympian Games.

The University of Pennsylvania is to
enter team next year in the Olympian
games at the worlds fair in Paris, and also
in the English championships. This an
nouncement was made yesterday by II.
Laussat Geyelin, president of the athletic
association. He said a comparison of the
records made at the English championships
last year indicates the possibility of Penn
sylvania winning many frsts.
1t was the intention to enter team for
the English championships to be held in
July. Pennsylvania having won nine of the
thirteen events in the intercollegiate cham
ptonship. But" President Geyelin said
the securing by Yale of a challenge from
Oxford and Cambridge for games in Eng
land made the Pennsylvania management
feel that the entering of the team from
their university might be justly criticised
as an effort on their part to detract from
the interest in the Harvard-Yale, Oxford
Cambridge competition, and the intention
of sending team to represent Pennsylva-
MIA was therefore postponed

COLUMBIA GOES AGROUND.
Cup Defender Was Going Out to Make
a Trial Trip.

BRISTOL, r. l., June 24-The Columbia,
fully rugged. lay off the Herreshoffs' dock
today ready for her first trials. Her main
sail and forestry sails were bent last night
and today her No. 1 jib was brought out
from the shop and put in stops.
Capt Nat Herreshoff was on the wharf
before o'clock this morning, superintend-
and several friends came off from the St.
Michael early and busted themselves look
ing over the yacht to see that everything
was as it should be- During the forenoon
fresh south wind blew up the bay, making
it dead beat from Bristol to Newport,
and at 9:15 the Columbia was hauled out
into the stream, and arrangements were
made for the ST. Michael to tow the Column
bia outside the,isands in the harbor, as,
owing to the direction of the wind. it was
thought inadvisahle, for her to attempt to
make her own ,way.z
During the attempt to warp the Columbia
out from her wharf to an anchorage in the
bay the yacht went aground and stuck
fast in the mud. A tug was called upon
for assistance, but the effort to move the
Columbia was unsuccessful. The tide was
going down steadilyR and it was apparent
that further effort wpuld be useless, and 1t
was decided to0-letf'the sloop rest until
high water toniShtrtA line was run from
the topmast heHd to, the pier to keep the
and painters were taken out TO continue the
work which has been going on in the in
terror of the boat.
The Columbia IS apparently on soft bed,
but it is difficult to determine how deeply
she is IN the mud. Ne .-.'
