Today's gamo was won by the home team in o game noted for the ease by which all the pitchers were ponnded ovr the lot. It was Scrantou's game until the near the end, when by a judicious use of the willow Reading overcame Scranton's lead and won out wi'h three runs to spare. Scranton put u Mahonny, a now pitoher, into the box the last few innings, and he, too, was an easy mark for the homo team. The score: Sl'RANTON. II. II. PO. A. E.

Griffin captains tho Syracuse team since Jay full was released. Garrison, of Koine, N. Y., am amateur, has been signed bv Bulfalo to play muter field. Captain John Ward, of New York, is not stealing bases this year as he did last year, nor Is he playing his former game. The due base play of Tom Tucker, of the Bostons, this season has never been sur passed. Ills record is twenty-two straight games without an error and in thirty-two games au average of .998. Nichols, the Bostou pitcher, has won fourteen games ntid lost oue thus far. Tfcia is the greatest record of modern pitching. "Our Larry" has been jollying tho Hazleton reporters by telling them that Hazleton had as good u team as there U in the league. The batting that Hess, of last year's Seranton club, is doing for Wilkes-Barre is attracting considerable attention iu base ball circled. Scranton Juniors dotaated the Tycoons by a 8coio of 7 to 2 on tho High school grouuds Saturday. T. Tierney, manager; S. Moyer, captain. The employes of Tiik Tnilii'Nic press room defeated the compositors of this pa per Sitturday afternoon iu a game of bull on the Johnson lake grouuds, Edward P. Oowd, of Cloorgetown Col loge. who has gaiued quite a reputation as a itcber, ban received two oilers trom Manager Selee, of the Bostons. Staloy will probably bo released before the Boston club leaves on its Western trip next week. The Binghniutons want Bos ton to buy Pitcher Barnett, but the man agement will not spend a dollar for play ers unless compelled. McPhee, of the Cincinnati, for years the king of second basemen, and who still contests the palm with new aspirants, handles the hottest hits and throws with out wearing a glove Phelan, of our own club, is also one of the few second base men who does not encumber his hand with a pillow. Pitcher John Pee, of the Hazleton club, was seriously injured at Pottsville on Sat urday during the game between the Potts ville and Hazleton clubs. A hot grounder trom Fuller's but bounded and struck Pee on the side of tho head lofliOtlBB an uly sealp wound and stretching him uncon scious on the Held. Hugh Jennings' work at short for Balti more has shown great improvement during the pat fortnight. Jennings is also lining out bnse hits, doubles and homers with uncommon rapidity. As the cae now stands bis work is as good as that of any other short stop in the Na tional League. The Y. M. O, A. team of this city WSS de tested by the Y. M. C. A. elnb of Wilkes.

Bcrantoo's de feat L attributed mainly to the weakened team It was compelled" to put in the Held oo account of the sbsenoe of some of the best members. Manager Hilly Parks, of Easton, has sent for Charles Levis, captain and manager of the olu team now in St. Louis, to come back. Meanwhile Hoien will captain and Foolkrod will manage the team. Parks is much plea-ed with ilidlman'i pitching, bu: fears lie is loo light. The Easton team will be strengthened at all hazards. The Cincinnati! have thirteen meu on their present disastrous trip. Already su perstitoUS cranks In the western city are laying the fault of defeat to tue evil of that number The Providence Grays have thirteen men on the list and have had all the season, aud did not wiu a game un til the fourto nth was added to play when Bassett was hurt. Providence Journal. Wilkes-Barre papers keep harpiug on that protested Springfield game and roast Umpire hunt about it. The Bluck Dia monds tried the same tactics against Spriugfleld in every game here and twico iu one game, but Snyder didn't see it at all.

Last season Zimmermnn could not beat 2.21 on its surface, owing to in" oust, in in roue against the state record of 2.15, made by Wmdleon this track, doing 2.07 easily. A novel race wns begun early Saturday morning between L. K. Schai fcr and A. An toes, two New Yorkers. Schnefer is to rido a bicycle from Eighty-eighth street, New York, to Albany. His opponent U to row a shell to Albany. Tho latter has twenty-fours' handicap. Scnaefer started fit 8 o'clock Saturday morning at Eighty tightb Btreot and lliversido Drivo. He took the old Albany turnpi :e. Anthss started two hours later from Nevins' dock at the foot of West Eighty-eighth street. It is said that the men have wagered ib')J on tho result. The great bicycle raro from Sarnls to Montreal was finished at 1.28.88 p. m. Saturday. It bad been oxpected that the last pnir of relay riders would dash into Domiuinu Square at 5.35 p. m. with the mei-suRe of congratulation to President Lane, of the Canadian Wheelmen's Asso ciation, bearing signatures of mayors all along tho route, and also those of Lord Aberdeen and G. A. Klrkpatrick, lieu-tenant-govornor of Ontario, which were appended to tho message in Toronto yes terday afternoon, but so excellent; was the condition of the roads cast of Kingtit ;:, and so speedy wero the various couriers, t hat tho message reached its destination four hours, nlOe minutes and twenty-two seconds ahead of the scheduled timo. Thlrty flvo members of tho West End Wheelmen's club rode down to Plymouth last night, where they were entertained In elegant style by tho Shawnee wheelmen. The West End boys presented a handsome appearance as they rode around the square on their way down. Upon their arrival at Plymouth they were met by the Shawiioo club, with the Plymouth Cornet baud, and escorted over tho principal streets. There Was 0 liberal display of fireworks and red fire in honor of the visitors. After the parade the clubs pulled down to the club house, a roomy and comfortable building sot in a large and picturesque lawn. Thu tress were hung with Chinese lauterus, the effect being very pleasing At 10 o'clock a tine lunch was served. Before leaving Captain Frank Uio'rlck, on behalf of the clnt, made a neat speech, in which ho thanked tho Shawnee boys for thoir lib. erul hospitality. This was responded to by Dr. McEep, after which three choers Were given for Plymouth nnd hor wheel men, and the Wo-a Enders rolled home en tirely plen-ed with thiir trip. Saturday's vv UKeB-uarro uecoru. The war between blcyclo manufacturers A. O. Spalding & Bros, and tho Overtnau Wheel Co., which hascius d the bottom to drop out of tho bicycle market, thus in volving milllOM of dollars aud scores of other manufacturers, reaehed anew phaao when the SpaldlngS Hied papers in a coun ter suit for $100,0(10 against tho Overmau Wheel Co., v.

Cyclists and manufacturers throughout tho country are much interested In thu suit as it Is expected, when argued, to show the actual cost of cycles, together with much other interesting information to the trade. It is said that iu three years the Spaldiugs have pai l Overmau about 82,000,000, and the trado has grown to triorinous propor tions. The result of this suit 1b expocted to materially Influence prices duriug'the coming year aud possibly the remainder of the season. CORNELL WON BY FIVE LENGTHS. Ths Pennsylvania Boys no Jiutoh for (lis Oarsmen from Ithaca. PBIDADBLPHIA, June 17. Tho four mile uigbt-oareu shell raoe between Cornell und the University of Pennsyl vania, on the Delaware river yesterday afternoon, was won by Cornell by five lengths in 21 minutes 12 seconds. Pennsylvania's timo was 21 minutes li 4 seconds. Cornell rowed a magnifi cent raco from start to finish, while Pennsylvania's rugged work more than offset their strength. Tno reforeo was to have boon Cap tain Bob Cook, the Yale coach, but us Mr. Cook was compelled to go to Now Haven, Thomas Ov Iluuter, of the University of Pennsylvania, nctsd in his pli.co. The Cornell judge on tho referee's boat was Charles Francis and the timer Benjamin I. Wheeler. The Pennsylvania's judge waa John C. Bell and the timer C. Pemborton, jr. R C. lUrewas Cornell's judge at the finish and Jamas Bond wus Pennsylvania's judgo. Whatever advantage there was iu the course was Pennsylvania's, but it was very slight. The river bank afforded some slight protection at the start from the wind, and the water was a little smoother in Pennsylvania's territory. When the bows of the two shells were almost upon a line, Referee Iluulur guve the signal, and at 0 B7 o'olock the two crews got off. Pennsylvania took the water first, and thoir shell shot ahead of the C'oruellisns for half a length. It was thu first and last time Pennsylvania led in tho race. Cornell quickly settled down to work and shot their suell after thoir opponents. Penn sylvania pulled a 111 stroke to the miu ute and Cornell 85, At tbo half mile Cornell had drawn away from Pennsyl vania by half a leugth, and their stroke had gone up to 117, while Pennsylvania was sttll at 3U. The work of the Ithaca men was beautiliil. Every man in the boat took the short, quick stroke in rhythmic unison, and the shell glided through the Water with hardly the perceptible splash of an o.ir. From the half-mile stake, the race was only a question of bow many leugths Cornell would win by. They gradually drew away and at the two-snd-a-balf-mile stake wero a length and a hall ahead. Pennsylvania stuck doggedly to the work, however, aud palled sturdily on. At the three-mile post Cornell was 2 lengths ahead. Both crews had aver aged a !lli stroke up to this time, lut now Pennsylvania made its last vuin effort. Coxiwain Perkins throw up his hand and cuiU J to his meu to spurt. They respendod and rati the stroke up to 40, but Cornell quickly increased to 40, uud maintained the distance be tween themselves and Pennsylvania. From here on it wns only a procession, aud Cornell crossed the line at the fin ish five lengths ahead of Pennsylvania. Both crews finished .strong. The Cor nells rowed their shall ashore and jumped out and carried it up on the ueach. After the raoe Trainer Wood ruff, of the Pennsylvanlaus, nnd Cap tain Wagonhurit said that they had no excuses to mak?, and that they were fairly and squarely beateu.
