Sporting SquibS.

THE programme of international
contests of physical exercises and
sports, at the Paris exposition
shows a finely arranged schedule of
athletic contests. Among the sports
which will be INDUCED in are games
of Rugby foot bail between French
and German teams, English and Ger
man teams, and French and English
teams.
A croQuet tournament will be given,
and bowling tournament also played,
in which crack bowlers from all over
the world will be entered Bicycle
races and automobile races will be
seen, and two mines of American base
ball players will give an exhibition OF
the national game of this country. An
international tournament of horse
polo will be another feature, and golf
matches galore will be played. A fish
ing contest will give novel air TO the
PROCEEDINGS. a swimming contest will
also be open to the athletes aquatical-
ly inclined, who are entered. Yacht
races, boat races, and other nautical
sports will also be open, as will also
a contest Of water polo. In the fencing
contests, which will be an important
feature, it is not likely that the Amer
lean youth will distinguish himself as
much as in the other matches, but
some young Teuton, marked with
many scars received at Heidelberg or
at Berlin university, or some dapper
Frenchman viii probably carry off the
palm there. In this contest the first
prize for professional fencers is 5000
francs, equal to about 81 900, and for
fra al
In equestrian sports, hurdle racing,
saddle riding, four-in hand driving,
broad and high jump riding, will be re-
warded by large prizes. lngland's

Walter j. Coombs, the crack Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania end and half

him, as ne has only won one of the
games he has pitched. 1t is probably
the coolness of the weather that has
worked havoc with the young fellows
arm, and when it begins to grow a bit
sultry he will probably have the bats
men all guessing again, as he did last
summer.
The Pittsburg team seems TO have
been having troubles of it's own at the
first base position. Now that Cooley
has been signed, however, the difficulty
has been done away with and the
hard-hitting cX-Quaker will prove
tower of strength to the Pirate intield.
In Beaumont, Manager F'leischman,
of Reading, seems to have acquired a
star of the first magnitude, if his work
during the past week can be taken as
q fair criterion. He has felded his
position well and batted the ball at a
rate which will land him near the top
of the league batsmer.
kid" Cross brother of Monte Cross,
of Philadelphia. is putting up fine
game at shortstop for Reading.
Dick Harley is playing star center
field for Detroit in the American
league, and it oughtn't to be long be-
fore the hard-hitting eX-collegian is
back again in the big league ranks.
Walsh, the Mayfield boy, who plays
left field on the Georgetown university
ball team, in Wednesdays game with
the Carlisle Indians hit four singles
and home run.
Shaw and Ryan, both of whom for
merly caught, at the same time, on
the Syracuse Eastern league team, are
now with Detroit. Shaw is catching
and Ryan holds down first base.
Ralph Seybold is making Il strong
bid for the American league home run
hitting honors and has three or four
to his credit already. Tuesday, at Buff
falo, he sent the ball over the fence,
and drove two others which cleared
the fence, but were just inside the
foul line.
"Ducky" Holmes has been signed by
Detroit to play left field.
SchreCkongost, the man with the un-
pronounceable name, who last year
caught for Cleveland and st. Louis,
is now one of the Buffalo backstops.
Dick Knox, of the local team seems
to be a batter of the Buck Freeman or
der inasmuch as with him it is gem
orally an extra base drive or nothing.
In his first three league games he
made five hits, of which four were
two-baggers.
In Miller, Kennedy and Kervin,
Scranton certainly has trio of pitch
ers who can hold their own with any
in the league as regards batting abili-
| ty. at least.
Kennedy's game against Elmira,
when he held the New Workers down
to one run and three hits. is the best
pitched game of the Atlantic league
season SO far.

THE WORK of the Scranton base
n ball team for the past week has
been of the gilt-edge order and
Il four straight victories is the rec
ord. 1t is too early in the sea-
son to gain a very clear idea of the
strength of the league mines, but from
a comparison of the work already done
Burnham's men show up very strong.
In the two games with Elmira they
made the New Workers look like an
aggregation OF amateurs, and by win
ming from the strong Allentown and
Wilkes-Barre teams increased their
stock immensely in the eyes of local
fans. Comparing the team with last
years nine, the present Scranton repre-
sentatives appear very much stronger.
The chief trouble --'th last years team
was the fact that the -. II could not
bat. In that respect, this years nine
is surely not at fault. In the course OF
the week they batted fiercely every
pitcher who faced them, and their bat
ting did not consist of singles alone,
but included a generous sprinkling of
long drives, home runs, three-baggers
and two-baggers all being made. Fer
guson, Knox and Shelter constitute a
hard-hitting, fast fielding outfield ana
during the week batted at a terrific
rate, while of the infielders, Doherty
and Mcintyre hit the ball hard, and
the two O'Briers also did their share
with the willow.
The men are fast, gingery players
and fight hard for every game. as was
