Yeatrday's local game had enough brilliant batting and fielding features to make halt a dozen games glitter. Toronto vs. Wilkes-Barre at Athletic Park to-morrow afternoon for tbe last game ot the aeries.

A big crowd means good bfclL Springfield 'Union: The Pittsburg management has taken away all passes to tbe ball games, except those granted to newspaper Lytle didn't do a thing with the stick yesterday to celebrate his release by Wllkea-tiarre and bis signing by Toronto team will make things hustle if they strike their gait. They're not worse, even it they have yet to i Swartwond says Nleb Young baa made a ruling on tbe point cams, up in Tuesday's game to the effect that the base-runner should not be sent back when a batter is declared out for Interference with the catcher, although admits it I no just penalty for the Interference. In that case Niok Young needs a little base ball common sense. It Is pleasant to see Providence out of first place. We wish Buffalo Joy in first plnca.

May inBiona stav there till we push tfiern out! Syracuse Standard. That Is equivalent to hoping Buffalo will win tbe Springfield Unton.

Syracuse tit Providence, PLENTY Olf FKKK HITTING And a Large Collection of- Sharp Fielding K.TjrU A Game Full of Pretty Keafures. That was a large game full of cracking hits way out over the beads' ot the gardener; and as full of beautiful plays as a plum pudding is ot raisins. It would be bard to recall a game that has glittered more in spots than this one. Here areafew of tbe glitters: Two Binashers good for two bags apiece by MoMabon; a smash for a home ruu by Sharrott iu the right centre direction, and a beauty by Odwell tor three bags over the centre fielders line ot grasp and slightly in the direction of right. Besides these there were enough singles to keep the time from dragging.

Everyman got a chance to apportion some carbo-hydrates to his batting appetite, and everybody did except Charley Smith. Odwell's hit came in a funny way. He had tried twice to bunt and sacrifice Mo Ma ho down to second. Two strikes were called. The bleachers yelled "Hit'er out!" He did, he cracked ttie next for three sacks.

In the third Goeckel made one ot the prettiest bunts and beat the ball to first. But for fielding the glitters rather outdid the batting. Powell tapped a little fellow In the ninth and performed his safe slide into first. Taylor, of the Canucks, made a pretty pick up out ot Diggins' rolter in tbe third aud inaugurated a double play. That was only one ot three double plays that went to the credit ot tbe Torontos and Wilkes-Barre performed one too in the eighth.

McMahon made an especially brilliant stop of Dineen's centre diamond roller in the fourth and this spoiled a base hit. A tunny thing was the happening about a scorcher that McHal bit to Odwell. So swift was it that Od simply bad tim to get bis hands down and save his shine. The bait caromed off from blm on a fly to Goeckel at first. It couldn't have been more accurate if it bad, been thrown.

And tbe runner was out. Charley Smith got in a hit of brilliance iu a pretty capture of White's hot one in the fifth. Betts ended tbe game by capturing a short tly after a sharp dash. Casey got too gay off third in tbe third inning aud Dig snapped one down and nailed him there. This new rule about getting to a base is bringing about-a large crop of first base excursions because ot being hit by pitched ball.

Odwell struok three yesterday and Dlneen one. Lush's three-bagger was a beauty. It struck the right Held fence dirt bank and Sharrott couldn't climb uader it. It was a free hitting earap all through and a oontest that was a right pleasing til- bit for the fans to enjoy. 11 bt ULSIK Absolutely Pure- Celebrated' for ita great leavening -strength and bealthfulnesa.

And tbe time-etained sword ia there banging above the oval-framed pictures. So complete Is this little place that the pedestrian who baits to peen within the door concludes that the occupant ia a Southerner who is unable to ao-custom himself to tbeeleganoo of this busy North, aud in oonsequence haa found a quiet corner in our busy bl ve where be can gather tbe honey and still feel at home.

For what would a southern offlce be without a sword? What would it be without Its old fashioned picture and ita mark ot tite war? That war, the guns of which still echo through tbe heart of those who lost, and tbe memories of which are as greeu as the breast works which SUll frown from hundreds of hill tons.

"Where did I get It? I was a boy down in Allentown at the close of the war and went up to tbe station one day to see the soldiers arrive. I wanted a sword and asked a big cavalry man for his. He gave It to me and there It hangs, Do you know I often look at that sword and wonder what ever tacams of the man who bad oarrte i it, and I know that It living be would give anything to have his old bivouac companion back." At this point J. W. Burdiak dropped in to buy a lot and in Just two seconds Mr.

Special music by a male ojuurtet aud association orchestra, 1 The record forthe single round of the roll course the Wyoming Valley Coun trv club course was again broken on Tuesday afternoon of this week. The first round was played through witn a very mediocre score of 68, though this was Dart I tbe recalt of carelessness of tbe greens.

With tbestarting of tbe second round, however, tbe player began with a Tbe first role was mads In five though tbe edge of tbe green was reached in two. On tbe second, tbe Hump, the drive took the ball about thirty fret beyond the crest of tbe hill, and the second shot lift! it blah iu air, whence it dropped near the green aii! rolled within eight feet of the hole. Tbe third shot put it down. Slope up came In four, 'lhe drive was not quite to tbe road, but the approach put tbe ball on tbe edge of tho frreen and two more put it down, Latin looked rocky when the drive went into the gutter at the side of the road, but the mashls shot lifted it on the green and near tbe bole. It was a close call here for another three, but tbe bail rested on the mitre, and It took four to go down.

H'dlow whs the flfaf vt iliffionltv Th flrivn Ant. til the little bollow near the muck, but forty feet to the left. The lie a good one and a hot with the cieek emit the ball within few feet of the edge. On the third shot the ball rolled to within teu or twelve feet of tho whole mid a lucky 1 put brought It into the cup iu four. This was twenty for five holes.

Woodaide green was reached in three but the roll of the ground was a bother and three shots were wasted on the green. 1 tie score nere was seven. This was looked uoon as the beginning of the break that always cornea sooner or later and much of tbe record breaking Idea vanished at that point But fcprtng oarae quite easily In five, and Camels back after a waste of two strokes came in six. Tbe player left the last tee with a total of 38. Making tbe last hole in even would equal the reoord but anything less would break it.

The drive went just beyoud the pitch of yeilowelay. The lie was only fair, but was a tempting cleek sbot on account of the long distance to be oovered. bat the cleek gathered too much soil and tbe bail lobbed ahead seventy of more feet and stopped. But tbe lie waa again good and a long high masbie sbot put tbe ball on the greeu in three. Tbe fourth shot put tbe ball within three feet and tbe fifth took it down total forty-three or two belter than tbe reoord neld jointly by this same Slayer and by tbe captain of the team, ere is the summary: i-i ---7-5-fl-53.

En couraged by hi fellow Newtown citi zens, P. Francis bas branched out as a tin rooter, and bas already secured orders for two roofs which will be ready tor tinning by the spring ot '93. His sign will float over the door ot a shop full ot tin before the blossoms fall. Whether or not P. M.

Gilllgan is behind the enterprise has not tieen stated. Another evidence ot Newtown's advancement is the announcement that Jim Jlo- Guigan is to ooen a laundry in tbe vicini ty ot McGreevy'a halt Beeldeute out there have not taken kindly to the inva sion of a Cblnaman and Mr. McGuigun will demonstrate for the first time In the history ot the world, tbat an Irishman can beat a Chinaman all hollow doing up shirts, collars, cuffs and individuals. The neatly printed announce ments of the new concern state In red ink: "Mr. McGuIgan will personally supei in- tend the washing." Does this mean that James himself will do tbe wash board chasing? If so, that Cblnaman will have to bump blmself to equal in cleanliness the work of MoGulgan'e laundry, "Mo-Gutgan's Laundry" is funny In itself and would make a good subject lor a don Car- boniBni.

Tbe physician in the case of actress Fanny Al ward of the Htazer company says that she danced herself to death. She died In a sanitarium, the cause of ber death being heart disease brought on by over exertion. This incideut is merely men tioned to call attention to the fact that such occurrences as this, in the preaohlng and religious writing of 100 years ago. were attributed to divine vengeance upon sinful lives. They are not so considered to-day.

Some will say that science Is dispelling the superstitions of religion; but the more thoughtful will note that we are only getting back from our heathen and childish notions of God's government to the notion held by Christ, Wno said, "My kingdom Is not of this world," and wno rebuked the people tor supposing that those upon whom tha tower of Siloam fell were excep tionally great sinners, and for reasoning that because a man was born blind it was a necessary punishment lor some one's sin. Jamea Towoley Crane, father of Stephen Crane, was a respeoted minister of tbe gospel and fell dead in his pulpit. A preacher Is as liable to sudden death. when be violates physical law, as la an actor or dancer. The rewards of the gos pel are not ot the but of the character, and so are its punishments.

A good story Is being told on George Ferrell, oue of tbe many good looking men wno wear the unnorin oi tne u. n. road, George is an officer in oue of our local orders, aud in fulfilling the duties ot suoh Is obliged.to open tbe door of tbe meeting room ana announoe to tne president the names ot the brothers in the outer room. George was evidently thinking of his railroad duties the other night, for in the midst of a solemn Initiation he threw open wide the door ot the lodge room and shouted: "Avoca." Across tbe chasm which for years has yawned between them, Colonel Orr and our old college chum, Sam Boyd, have clasped hands and made up. Bride and groom like they have promised each other to otierisu, love ano ooey anu as an evidence thereof Mr.

Boyd has sent a printed statement out to the busy world calling on It to halt for a moment anu cenomnow deeply be regrets that once upon a time he told his reaiers to gaze upon me uoionei and behold bis nothingness. But hold on! here is the Colonel's statement? way does he not rush into print with some- thin a affectionate for tbe man wno now, prodigal son like, falls into his arms Is thiB a one sidud the Colonel not forgive? In such a moment can he forget tbat a man from tbe same part ot Ireland ss himself exieuas ins nana anu yi "Asthlre Macree, to tne oevii wia castm- up. gun me yer list an we lorget an about It." Ot course Mr. Boyd wouldn't say it in those words, lie expiesea Him self very nicely in his published cam, which had the ring of true repentance in Its every word. Aud after all it must have struck a responsive ohord in the Colonel's heart.for be bas withdrawn ms noei suit.

Tbat card bas caused considerable com ment. Opinions diner, or course, xnavs natural. Peonle never agree on anything. But we hold that If a writor discovers that he has in anyway wronged another, ne does his duty when he acknowledges that wrong over hisown signuture. Alter rour years of thought Mr.

Boyd conoluded after consulting his attorney that the shot he poured into the colonel was somewhat hot anil Consequenuy un niiooB wiu jf I am sorry, Mr. orr. very sorry, uave something."
