New York Nine Has Little Dlfh-

fBy Telegraph TO The Tribune. J

Wilkes-Barre Penn, April S.-Desplte
their prayers for bright, warm weather, the
New York Yankees had to play wilkes
Barre to-day with the sun hidden ana the
wind raw and penetrating, the same con-
ditions as they have encountered ever since
they left the South. Nevertheless, New
York won by a score Of to 0. Both Quinn,
who pitched six innings. and Ford, who
twirled the remaining three, put some
steam on and moved down the batters OF
the Wilkes-Bar team, champions OK the
New York State League. The nome nine
got only one hit-Arndt's clean single OF
Quinn In the second inning Not man
reached second base. although two others
cot 10 first on errors. SO effective were the
New York twirlers that only four balls
were hit to the outfield, one being the
single and the other three flies to Daniels.
The latter made a pretty shoestring catch'
which he made after hard run.
The Yankees got after McCloskey. who
pitched the first two innings, and scored
all their runs of him. Wolter was poked
in the ribs by the first ball pitched. and
walked growing to his base. Hemphill
tried to sacrifice, but flied out, and Chase
sent q long single to right. scoring Wolter.
Hartzell and Knight both flied out to

The fusiade commenced in the second.
Daniels started with liner over short and
Johnson sent a pretty double to left CEN
tre Blair hit to McCloskey, and was out
but Quinn scored both men with single

and then Hemphill hit to left field for two
base and a moment later scored on
Chase's second single. Hal was out trying
to steal.
This ended the scoring. although Blair
got a single in the third and Hemphill one
in the fourth, while Ford singled and VOL
ter doubled in the seventh with one down.
but stayed on bases, when Hemphill and
Chase fled out.
Wilkes Barre's hitting was so weak that
the Yankees did not get chances to do
spectacular work in the field. with the ex-
ception Of the catch by Daniels. The team
plays here tomorrow. and on Monday at
Scranton, and will go TO Philadelphia on

HARD BOUT AT N. Y. A. C.
Sailor" Burke Finds Paddy"
Sullivan a Target.

Sailor" Burke punched Paddy Sullivan
so hard and often last night in their ten
round bout at the New York Athletic Club
that at the end of the ninth round the
referee refused to allow the boxing 10 con-
tinue Sullivan was at that time helpless
and had to be carried from the ring. 1t
was all Burke's battle.
Sullivan could not stand against Burke
chopping right and lefts. He was game for
three rounds, wading in regardless Of pun
ishment The Sailor" fioored Sullivan for
the limit of the count In the fourth. fifth
and sixth rounds. After that Sullivan was
just hanging on trying to stay TO the end.
The referee in attempting to part the
two in the Clinches was more CORY than
the boxers. and the ring appeared as If
battle royal had been decided inside the
ropes. There was big crowd OF members
present. who were outspoken in their de-
mands for the stopping OF the contest be-
fore the referee acted.

STADIUM ON THE HEIGHTS

A stadium at New York University Is the
newest suggestion for the improvement Of
Ohio Field THE New Yorker" an under
graduate weekly. discusses the matter at
some length in the last issue. Admitting
that the expense is the only thing standing
In the way OF such an undertaking. the
paper expresses the opinion that the twelve
thousand alumni OF the institution could
be depended upon To furnish enough funds
at least to begin the erection OF stadium
The remaining cost could be covered by a
mortgage.
II Is asserted that with a stadium on the
heights increased attendance at athletic
games would be assured and that the big
intercollegiate meet could be held there
once in four years. The receipts from
such contests would care for the interest
on the mortgage. The undergraduates OF
the university are naturally much inter-
ested in the proposal OF the paper. and de-
velopments are looked for
