TWO HOME RUNS DID IT.
Scranton Defeated Wilkes-Barre by
Score Of 9 to 4-Featurss Of
Contest
snnciAl 70 the Scranton Tribune

Wilkes-Barre, May 3l.-There Is sOr-
row OF the dull, sodden kind here to-
night, for Clymer and his pets were
worsted in today's fray by the sturdy
lads that one, Burnham, brought down
from Scranton.
1t has become a tradition in base ball
here that any and all ofrenses Of any
and all ball players will be condoned II
in return the aforementioned erring
ones will only nerve themselves up to
the task OF throwing Scranton down
good and hard on the diamond.
It's trick, the performance Of which
fails with some regularity, but each
time Wilkes Barre consoles herself
with the thought that It was the rob
Der umpire or some exdsperating piece
OF luck with which the evil one is sup
posed to occasionally favor hi, own.
1t was a piece of luck today, so the
papers of the morrow will tell you, and
so Wilkes-Barre believes tonight.
1t was in the eighth inning that
Scheffier, otherwise "Old Boy" came to
the bat, The score was three to four
in favor OF Wilkes-Barre and two men
had been snuffed out,
Nothing dismayed or daunted, Scheff-
Ter picked a ball he thought would suit
him, landed on It with all the force he
could muster and sent 1t sailing out
into left field, where NicoL erstwrhile
pitcher, was on duty.
SUN CAME OUT.
It had been cloudy all the afternoon,
but just about the time Schefiier's will
low and the ball came in contact the
clouds were Jared apart and out peered
the sun, Nicol saw the ball and he
also saw the sun, and in trying to
make out which was which, the ball
dropped some twenty feet beyond him,
and by the time 1t was returned to the
diamond Scheffler was calmly resting
on the players bench, after making the
circuit Of the bases.
Knox saw that the sun was still
doing its stunt when he followed
Shelf to the plate, and Pitcher Owen
sending in Just the kind OF ball that
Knox dotes on, ne sent 1t skmming out
to Nicol, who did a sun dance, slipped
and fell, and-well, anyway, Knox
scored, and Pop" Merrill, the dean Of
the local base ball fraternity made
some savage remarks abou> the sun,
Robbed him OF two chances" ne NUT
tered between his clenched teeth,
"Nicol could eat them up Was there
ever such cursed luck?" All Of which
proves that Mr.. Merrill has high
opinion Of Mr.. Nicors powers as a
sprinter and eater and a rather pow
erty-stricken regard for the tact the
sun displayed in coming forward SO
eonspicuously at such a crucial mo-
ment.
Mcintyre and Doherty went to first
on balls, Pirate O Brien flew out to
Clymer. and then the sun went back
behind Its bank OF clouds again, and
the band In the Midway Carnival next
door played on.
The sun isn't all that might be de-
sired in the way OF something TO
Knock, but II one must knock, why not
the sun occasionally.

the effort that is being made by some
of the members OF the State Lepisla.
tore to have law enacted to prohibit
freight trains from running on Sunday
is carrying the idea to an extent that
would, in our opinion, prove more
hurlful than beneficial. We would fa-
vor a national law to this effect. but in

believe it would be unwise for a sipCle
state TO pass such ameasure. Suppo.e.

Or suppose it to be a car Of perisbable

CHIcAGo's ADVICE TO THE NEGRO

Instead of trying to get postoffice
or Federal job under a Republican
President the negro should seek pro-
fciency rs an artisan or should endeav-
or to attain excellence in some calling
or profession. Tne solution OF the race
problem in the South will come through
more farmers, wagonsmakers, black
smiths, cabinet makers, masops, car
penters, teachers and physicians. and
not through politics. Let the negro
abjure politics and follow the lead OF
Booker T. Washington. - Chicago

to impose penalty upon the entire
people OF county for the lynchings
occurring therein is not based on sound
reasoning. 1t exasperaies the entire
people OF the South whenever an out

Southerner whenever daughter Of
the community has had her person for
ever ruined and her happiness forever
sullied and blighted. While the com,
munity undoubtedly sympathizes with
the unfortunate they do not all partic,

Little Edna Price, the 12-year-old

for them in spite of loud recalls from

first attacked, but dogs then centered
their assault on the smaller girl, who

animals We're finally gotten away, the
child was found to be badly lacerated.
DR.. T. O. Clements, who was summoned
from Dover, found twenty-one bites on
the left leg, thirteen on the right, and
two on the cheek There were three
punctures quarter of an inch wide,
