That the Eastern League twirlers, as
a rule, have the mastery of the batsmen
in the organization is easily shown by
the records to date of the work which
the players have done with the stick
Instead Of regarding the .shonor roll' as
that containing the names of those who
are hitting with an average of 300 or
better, it is beginning to be assumed that
if a man is batting .25O or thereabouts
he is entitled to be regarded as a fair
worker with the willow. In the Eastern
League to date there are thirteen play
ers who have averages of 300 or bet
ter. and of these four are pitchers who
have played only few games. Among
the regulars" Hughey Hearne, the Bal
timere backstop. is just now showing ii q
way, with an average Of .354. Clarence
Foster, Of Newark, is close up, with .335
and Hanford, the Jersey City outfelder,
is only four points behind the Newarker.
Tony Walters, the Rochester twirler, has
only batted in FIVE games this season,
but as he made six hits out of thirteen
times at bat he has secured an average
of 1852, which makes him the leagues
nominal leader.
Our6elder Ramsey, of Baltimore, has
also played in five games and he has an
average of 400 Pitcher Del Mason,
with mark Of 341, comes in between
Hearne and Foster in the standing, but
he has taken part in only twelve games.
Pitcher Case, who was secured by Ro-
chester from Pittsburg, secured a hit in
the one game in which he played for the
Bronucos, and this gives him an average
of 1888. Captain Smith, of the Buffalos,
is showing much improved ability with
the stick this season, and steady hitting
has given him an average of 1888 to DAFT.
ShortstoD Mcdonnell, who was recently
secured by Baltimore, has hit well and
in ten games has a mark of .316.
Catcher Wood, the veteran, is also above
the coveted station with 81. Brodie,
Of Providence, and Catcher Byers, of
Baltimore, are even up at .308, while
"Quick Jake" Gettfnan, of Buffalo, is
just below the 800 mark, with .299.
Except for Foster, the Colts do not
show up very well in the Eastern League
batting records. Brown was sailing
along ssrenely, but he struck slump
and now has an average of but .270.
IN run-malzing Clement, Of Jersey
City. is showing the way, as he has cir
suited the bases no less than forty-two
times. Mcconnell. the Buffalo first
eacker, is giving the Jersey City outheld-
er a close race, as he has made forty
one runs. Others well up in this re
spect are Burrell. of Rochester, and
o'Hara. Of Baltimore, each with thirty.
eight runs; Murray, Of Buffalo, witt
thirty-seven: Malay. Of Newark, thirty.

Who swiped the gas meter in the Ere
mont Club House?
The Pagan members of the club put it
up to the Dickinsonites and the latter de-
clare that the Faganites, knowing that
anything they do or say will catch the
unsuspecting public, removed the meter
themselves and put the blame on their
opponents. You can't be up to the tricks
of these so-called Reformers. They have
the machine politicians beaten block
when it comes to putting UP jobs to pull
the wool over the eyes of the people.
They have been practicing this kind of
politics so long that it is like second ma
ture to them, One of these days they
will be caught with the goods and the
reform bubble will be punctured for good.

A NEW QUEEN FOR SPAIN.
Madrid Is Greatly Pleased at the
Marriage of King Alfonso to
an English Princess.


Madrid, Spain. = The city awoke
Thursday under a cloudless sky with
dazzling sunshine adding its glories to
the bewildering maze Of color in
which the streets were enveloped.
From an early hour the centers pre-
sented an aspect of extreme animation
The entire night had passed amid the
din OF fireworks, singing and dancing
and thousands of provincials, unable to
secure shelter, spent the night in cafes
and in the streets. At 8 o'clock
crowds densely packed the main thor
oughfares and the troops took up their
positions, stopping all traffic and the
whole city took on an air of feverish
expectancy. The esplanade fronting
the royal palace was occupied by regi-
ments of the royal guards in full, gala
uniforms, with glittering breast plates
and helments. They formed semi-cir-
cles, guarding the approaches to the
palace from the crowds eager to gain
points of vantage. The massive out
lines of the palace were without deco
ratiOns save the royal standard float
ing above. Detachments Of halber-
diers, with quaint cockades, stood
with halberts crossed at the princes
gate, leading to the palace courtyard.
AS the royal couple entered the as
semblage arose and 200 choristers in
toned q professional hymn. The king
looked calm, happy and slightly pale
as usual. Across the breast of his
field marshal's uniform was the blue
and white sash of the Order of Charles
III and on his breast sparkled the
orders of the garter and of the golden
fleece
The bride entered with her mother
brother and Queen Christina, the sill
vered embroidery of her wedding dress
being reflected by the myriad of lights
until the bride seemed to be robed in
jewels. Her veil, slightly drawn, aside
revealed her clear, fine features with
cheeks full of youthful color
The king advanced to meet the bride
and they stood together as the mar
riage service began. The ceremony
was performed with all the impress
siveness of the Roman ritual, cardinal
Sancha, Archbishop of Toledo, robed
is crimson silk, officiating assisted by
special nuncio of the pope and the
highest dignitaries of the church, with
scores of acolytes and incense burners.
The ceremony, which lasted nearly an
hour terminated with the nuncio pro-
the pope's benediction on the
newly married couple and the chanting

BOMB FOR SPANISH KING.
An Attempt Was Made to Kill AL
fonso and His Bride.
Sixteen Persons Were Killed and
Others Injured-A Narrow Escape
for the Royal Pair.

Madrid, Spain. = The public rejoic-
Ings over the marriage of King Alton
SO and Princess Victoria had terri
bly, dramatic sequel at 2:3O o'clock
Thursday afternoon as a bomb thrown
from an upper window exploded with
deadly effect near the coach occupied
by the king and queen. ProvidentiaIly
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria es-
capped when an electric wire detected
the bomb, but at least 16 persons, most
of them belonging to the personal and
military escorts, were killed. Many
others were injured
One royal groom, who was leading
one OF the horses drawing the coach
carrying the king and queen was killed
Several of those killed were standing
on the balcony Of the house from which
the bomb was thrown.
The scene in the vicinity of the ex-
9losion was horrible. AS the mu-
nicipal guards hastily improv1sed tit
ters to bear off the mangled corpses,
dense crowds pressed in upon them,
causing indescribable confusion. Sol
diers occupied all the streets leading
to the locality, making it almost i'm
possible to reach the spot from dis
tance. However. the Associated Press
correspondent was on the scene soon
after the explosion and received an
account of the affair from the Duke of
Veragua, and Colonel Rafael de Chague
the officers who assisted Queen Vic
toria as she lighted from her coach
to take another.
The bomb was thrown from above,
striking the ground and exploding not
far from the royal carriage One of the
soldiers of the kings escort and two
soldiers were killed, and one of the
horses drawing the royal coach was
killed, while the injured numbered
scores. The bodies of many persons
were terribly torn by the force of the
explosion.
The news of the attempted assasina-
tion spread throughout the city with
great rapidity, turning the rejoicines
of the people to awe.

PADEREWsKI's sELL8oY.
Musical Youth Made a Hit with the
Great Pianist by Playing
His s'Minuet."

Rosamond Johnson, OF Cole & john
son, composers of that once popular
song, Under the Bamboo Tree" once
held position as bellboy in Youngs
hotel in Boston. This place, says Sue
cess Magazine, he once nearly lost,
through taking the liberty of playing
Paderewski's "Minuet' for the great
pianist. Paderewski, who was stay
ing at that hotel, had rung for a bell
boy, and young Johnson answered the
call.
Being SO fond OF music, he made
bold to ask the great composer and
pianist to play the "Minuet' for him.
Paderewsh could not understand Eng
lish then, and the boy thought from
his gesticulations that he wished him
to play it. So he sat down at the
piano and commenced playing. Pad
erewski's manager happened to enter
the room just then, and, enraged at
the bellboy's presumption, threw him
out of the room and went directly to
the management and had him dis
charged.
AS soon as he learned what had
been done, Paderewski, who had been
pleased with the lads playing, sent
for the manager of the hotel and had
Johnson reinstated in his position.

An old soldier, released from cof
