SPORT IN GENERAL.

Unless Joe Cans. the lightweight
champion. is heard from soon. Bate
ling Nelson win surely claim his title.
Cans has had nothing TO say since he
called off his match with Harry Lewis
because no club would offer a S20,OU0
purse for the battle. Cans has agreed
to fight Nelson, but the Dane is hold
ing back, thinking that some club will
offer a purse of $4,000 for the mill.
Jack Twin Sullivan and Hugo
Kelly of Chicago, who fought a twen-
ty round draw for the middleweight
championship title at Los Angeles. Cal,
last Friday night, are to battle again.
They have been offered a good ncen-
tive by Matchmaker McCaEey, of the
Pacific A. c. of Los Angeles, to en-
gage in another bout Of twenty rounds
on June z, and have accepted it. They
wiz fight at 15S pounds for sixty per
cent of the gross receipts. Tommy
Burns, the present heavyweight
champion, will referee the contest.

Dickens and schooImasters.

Dickens, with something in his dis
position peculiarly sympathetic toward
children, was a bitter foe Of any one
relative, teacher or Official guardian
who tyrannized over them. A writer
in the New York Post points out that
he seems TO take special delight In ex-
posing the misdeeds of mercenary and
cold hearted pedagogues. "When ones
notice." says the Post. is first directed
to the attention the novelist gave to
schools and their methods, 1t is inter-
esting to try to recall the number men,
toned. Six come to mind instantly
Dotheboys Hall, DR.. Blimber's, David
Copperfeld's two schools-Dr. Strong's
and Mr.. Creakles - the Gradgrind
school and Bradley Headstone's In
Our Mutual Friend But even the
most devoted reader of Dickens is
amazed upon special Investigation to
discover the sum total Of twenty-eight.
There is not a phase Of education that
he does not touch upon. and wrong
methods are revealed and commented
upon in tones so caustic and with rea1
son so unerring that better conditions
were the natural resdlt.'raae-

FEW PLAYERS KNOW
HIT AND RUN GAME

Though most everybody who attends
ball games know what the hit-and-run
game means, do you know that there
are really few ball players who can play
this game" remarks Jesse Tannehill, the
Boston southpaw.
"Of course you. send up any player and
tell him to hit When the man on the bag
is running and he will take a swing. If
he hits it in the right place all well and
good. but that is not the object Of the
play. The batsman who can play it is
the fellow who tries to shove the ball just
behind the runner.
SAY. for instance. the runner is going
from first to second. The batsman who
knows the game will try to shove the
ball between second and first. II the sec
ond baseman has starved to cover he will
get it through to safe territory. and if not
he stands a great chance Of at least ad-
vancing the runner, though he be retired
himself.
Most players take good long swing at
the ball when the hit and run is being
played. Sometimes a three-base hit re-
suits and it is considered a great Play, but
that is not the game.
"Of course it is the pitchers object
20 prevent this play and the way to do it
is to keep the ball where It is Impossible
to hit 1t where the batsman wants to.
but there are not many pitchers who can
do that. The more you study baseball the
more convincing becomes the fact that it
lis a very scientific game, which only a
small portion OF the players ever master" J."

Buying by Moonlight.

Il made a queer trip one night not
long ago." said the agent of a ceme-
terry company. Il went out to the Gem
etery after dark with a prospective
customer so she could see how the
burial lot under consideration looked
by moonlight. The lady was Of TO.
mantle turn Of mind. She had taken
fancy to Il plot on a little knoll over
looking a lake. but before closing the
deal she insisted upon seeing the ef-
feet Of the moonbeams on the water
and surrounding landscape. l had
sold many lots under peculiar circum.
stances. but that poetic phase OF our
business was something new. The
lady seemed TO derive considerable sat
isfaction from it. Anyway. she bought

Peaches in the Last Game
Of the First Series

the Delaware Peaches. Ramsey's wildness
in tho box was chiefly responsible for the

Wilmington at Altoona to-day and to.
morrow.
A special dlspensation has been
granted to Harrisburg in regard TO
posting the scores by innings while
the team is at home. In the future
the fans can secure the score by call
ing up one of the prominent stores,
but the newspapers will not post the
scores nor receive them by innings.
Altoona sustained a serious loss
when Starnagle. its star catcher. who
handled the receiving end of 100 games
for them last year, sustained a broken
foot in the game with Lancaster. He
win be out of the game for some time.
In giving the line-up Of the dupont
team the name of Howard Hahn as an
outhelder was unintentionally omit
ted. Howard is one Of the cleverest
base runners in the city as those who
have seen him play can testify.
It happened thus: Wltse had struck
at the bah three times. The last one
was really tip foul. and struck Schell
on his shins. but the umpire did not
hear it on account of his ear-muffs.
The bali rolled in front of the plate,
and thinking it a foul. Bresnahan
threw il to third. as is usually done
when fouls are hit. To the astonish-
ment of everybody, the umpire called
it a strike and Kane threw the
BAN over TO first, and Wiltse was out.
That is the first time on record that
a third baseman ever got an assist on
a strike out.

President Carpenter Denies Rumors.
Charles +. Carpenter president Of
the Tri-State league, announces that
all the rumors concerning the transfer
OF the York team to Reading was idle
talk
These rumors have been circulating
on the Tri-State circuit until President
Carpenter deemed a denial the proper
thing to end the affair. He says that
all the managers are satisfied with the
conditions at York and want the city
represented in the league. Reading
was talked of as one OF the members
of the Tri-State League when the re-
organization of the league was being
discussed. Steps were taken toward
this end but the backing and suitable
grounds could not be secured and the
matter was dropped. If Reading gets
into the Tri-State league now il will
have to be by tho purchase of fran
chise but none are for sale at this time.
John Piening the Greco Roman
champion wrestler. and Frank Gotch
