A Tart Response.

A certain doctor had occasion, when
only beginner in the medical profess

opposing counsel, in cross examining
the young physician, made several sar-
castle remarks, doubling the ability Of

ness.
Finally he asked, do you know the

when Poor WHITING Is Best.

A popular author whose handwriting
was none Of the best used to maintain
that 1t was matter of principle with
him not TO write too well. He declared
that for the use of printers, good hand
writing was only a snare and a delu-
sion, tending to encourage carelessness
and mistakes on their part. The COM
positors, he asserted, were compelled
to devote their very best care and at
tention to bad handwriting, with the
result that. when it was deciphered, ii
was so fixed In their minds that it was
impossible Cor them to set 1t up In
correctly. He therefore declared that
the worst handwriting was the best
for the printers. Truth.

TUE PHILADELPHIA

TUE PHILADELPHIA team is
showing rare form in it's practice
games Gown South and the Quak-
er sluggers are daily almost knocking
the cover off the ball. In Tuesdays
game between the Regulars and Yani-
Eans this was especially so. 1t is true
that the pitchers on both sides do not
strain themselves by pitching their
hardest but nevertheless the pound
ing administered is something Won
derful. In this game the Yanigans got
nineteen hits, while the Regulars, in
seven innings of play, banged out just
thirty-six safe ones. Delehanty led in
the batting with five singles and the
longest home run ever made on the
grounds. Lajoie had brace of sim
giles and four doubles. Roy Thomas
got in double and five singles, and
little Slagle. the Washington purchase,
justified all the complimentary things
that have been said about him by
landing en- the curves Of Plat. and
Bernhard for two singles, two doubles
and three-bagger. OF the Philadel-
phia Colts several are showing up in
good shape. Ziegler, the short stop be-
ing a bright particular star. His field
ing is good and his batting heavy, and
if Joe Dolan was not the steady, reli-
BILE player he is, it would look very
much as though the coming season
would find Zeigler on third base.
After all, the much maligned, Oft
pitied and lOoked-down upon New
York team will not be nearly the weak
nine that it has been popularity sup
posed will represent the metropolis.
Buck Ewing confidently remarked that
he has the strongest batting team in
the league, and a glance over his col
lection shows that Manager Buck has
considerable grounds for his state
ment. Jack Doyle on first base is al
ways 300 batter, and Kid Gleason a.
second generally hits around that
mark. George Davis is one Of the
heaviest batters on the team, and
Third Baseman Winnie Mercer last
year batted 303 at Washington in
seventy-five games, coming up above
such hitters as Sheckard, Farrell,
Leach, Jones, Demonrenlle and other
heavy hitters. The outfield, consisting
of Van Haltren, sSelbach and Frisbie,
or possibly Hickman consists entirely
of heavy batters, and the catching
staff, Warner, Grady and Bowerman,
almost equals in batting prowess the
Philadelphia terrific hitting backstOp
department. Even the Giant pitchers
are good hitters. Seymour last year
>batted 337, and big Amos Rusie can
also hit the leather out in case of
emergency. Foster, the substitute
outfielder last year batted S05.
Connie Mack is bent on making his
Milwaukee team a winner, and has
added extra strength to it by the sign
ing of John Anderson, of Brooklyn,
the hard-hitting outfielder, and Dave
Fultz. last year Baltimore's crack
utility man.

"YHlLE in all likelihood Scranton
HAI will have a base ball team in
" the Atlantic league this sea-
w son, still the fact remains that
so far the proper interest has
not been shown. NJ. l.. Sanders and
Walter Burnham. who have been en-
gagged in pushing the project Through,
have had the hardest sort of work to
raise the comparatively small sum
which they now have. They expect
better success this week, however, and
are fairly confident of ultimate for
tune.
Manager Burnham has received ap-
plications for positions on the team
from very large number of players
from the Eastern, Atlantic, New Eng
land and Western leagues. Doherty,
who made himself a favorite in Scran-
ton last year by his third base work
and who played a great game at Read
ing after the local club disbanded, has
asked for a place here. as has also
Peter Eagan, formerly one of the most
popular outflelders that ever played in
this city. Last year Eagan did not
play his game, but there is little doubt
that under rigorous management,
Peter would prove one of the best out
fielders and most reliable stickers in
the Atlantic league. Rothfuss, for
merly in the Atlantic and Eastern
leagues, is candidate for catcher. He
is a steady backstop and a good hitter.
and would certainly be a valuable ac-
QUESTION to a team. Fertsch, of Read
ing, is another man who is likely to
play here. Last year he was one of
the best pitchers in the Atlantic league,
and after that organization broke up,
played awhile in the Western league.
He is splendid pitcher and a good
batsman for n twirler
In case the funds are raised this COM
