Howevar, if the club holds itself to

Marty Swift's HKgreMtion may come
in for a place by iriday night.
It ia still nip and tuck between Ha
Eleton anJ Allentown as to which elnb
Khali finish secoud. but the chances
favor liazleton inasmuch as Alleutowu
ii scheduled to play two games at Ets
tou today aud which cannot bo played
on account of the disbaudme.it of tho
latter club.
In the games played yesterday the
Honorable Michael ef Allentown had
his eye ou secoud plaee.the Harrisburg
club where he wanted them, aud for
the first time this season had the grati
fication of wiuniug a game from the
champions. But while Alleutowa was
doing this Hazletou was also at work,
winning a game from Rendiu?, and
also its hold on second place. Scran
ton was also fortunate ia defeating
Manager Smith's Pottirllle team,
thereby going.into fourth place over
Reading by the very meagre margin
of .001 in the percentage column.

A GAME OF CARELESS PLAYS.
Lose Tom Flanaa-ban'a Horn Sua a
Fature of the Occasion.
As an example of bow the national
Kama should not be played yesterday's
exnibition between Scranton and Potts
Tille at the ball park was a sacoess.
The redeeming feuture of the game
was that Scranton won, and thereby
climbed a notch higher in the league
race than it has heretofore reasbed.
There was a bad sky for ball Dlarinir.
what is known to ball players as a high
stt y, ana toe ball seemed scarcely larzer
than a pea when it was batted in the
air.
That condition of sky may be of
fered as a partial excuse for the ragged
work of the outfielders, but we fear the
work of the other members of the team
will hare to stand strictly on its
merits '
The Pottsville men were too strong.
They need mnre exercise. The way
they burled the ball about the diamond
was enough to make Sandow envious,
SOMB VERY WILD THROWING.
Humphrey, the youn man who is
covering short during Nyce's disabill
ty would hurl a ball across the infield
to Fuller and although that gentleman
is as long and corpulent as a telegraph
pole, the ball would sail along five feet
above the tips of his fingers and never
atop until it reached tne side fence.
Uolden bad a fashion of throwing
balls from centre field over third base
man Ellis' bead and eatcber Diirgins
managed to get the ball over Tigbe's
bead in his endeavor to cut oil a run
ner at second.
These are only a few of the miaplays.
Fitcber Fox was hit hard and often
nod bis support was conducted in a
way that indicates that members of the
Pottsville team are no stranger to 8 a,
in. hoars and the accompanying trim
mings.
Scranton had its share of errors.
There was an abundance of careless
playing, Richard Pbelan distinguish
ing himself above the others in that
respect Westlake's playing was away
on, especially wnne urueou was in the
box.
PITCHER DRISCOLL'8 WORK.
Drlscell, the young college pitcher,
was given atrial ia the early part of
the game. He was, as might have
been expected, somewhat wild and to
add to bis misery he received very
ragged support, la the three Innings
he was in the box be struck ont two
men. In the third he was found for a
double, triple and a single, and aided
by four errors of the home team and
these hits the visitors scored four
runs. After that Manager Swift
took Uriseoll out or tue game and sub
stituted Long Tom Flanngbau. lathe
fifth Flanagbsn made a home rnn. The
ball struck one of the boards that sup
ports the center field fence and bounded
over. Thomas galloped borne amid
great applause and was credited with
a four base nit. i tie score ia detail :

ADVICE BY AN EXPERT.
llaztlton Plain Speaker.
Tne ScRAMTo.t TiunuNB has lately been
havlnir considerable fuu with tbe Drosidtnt
of tbe Pittsioo borough council. Tne
Tribune published some ten days since an
interesting story about tbe president of
council s demand on the Traction company
for passes and the letter's refusal. Mr.
President of Council, about a week later.
with two attorneys, visited The Tribune
sanctum to demand the name of the author
ot the artiele. It was refused and tbe in
Jured dignitary gave Tue Trlbuns just
twenty-loar hours withiu whlcb to repent
and to furnish the name of the individual
who. bv exposing his attempt to fore
passes from tbe Traotion company, had
libelled him. The Thibunk is not engaged
In the business of giving away the names
of the writers of articles appearing in its
columns, soiustead of complying with tbe
mucn injured gentleman's demand, it re
published tbe story ot the attempted pass
grabbing In the very words of tbe Trac
tion company's superintendent, on wnom
tne demand was made. Tbe next move In
the matter ought to be the bringing of an
aotiun for libel by the Injured head of tbe
Pitt stun council. It he should do so, be
will be richer in experience and decidedly
poorer in purse when he shall have reached
tbe ena oric.

AN AWFUL SUSPENSE.
THE ADVENTURE THREE MINERS
HAD IN A PROSPECT HOLE,
Ike Failed to Hook tho Rope to ths
Iluekel and Down the Shaft tbe Iron
Bound Ilarrel fell Simpson Had Sighed
for Death, bat Be Found It Too Near.
Big Sandy Thompson s.nd Simpson, his
partner, had finiabed filling the ore bucket
with a goodly load of the touxh, worthless
rock in width they hod been burrowing foi
months, and lenulng on their shovels
watched it go swlngiug alowly up toward
the little 4 by 7 patch of daylicht that
showed the entrance to the shaft, 127 feet
aliove them.
Down tln deep hole came muffled screech
lugs from the rope as it wound upon the
drum aud the creaking of tbe 111 adjusted
"whim," and they could hear Ike Wisdom's
vicious objurgations as he urged their sul
len little beast round and round in tbe
dusty circle In which he had plodded, pull
ing up the bucket, until he had grown one
sided. Simpson was dumpish aud morose. He
scraped querulously in the rock dust with
his shovel mid roundly berated the luck that
had sent him to Colorado to dig in a hole
for nothing. He cursed Colorado and be
cursed Park county; ho cursed tbe bacor
ou which he subsisted until, as he pathetl
cully said, ho was " ashamed to look a hog
in the face," and he curaed the mine and
old Sandy Thompson, who eat idly pound
ing away a nice round bole he was finish
ing up witli urtistio care for the reception
of a dynamito stick.
Old Sandy grinned quizzically at Simp'
sou through his bushy rod whiskers and
puffed silently at the malodorous black
pipe, which was the joy of bis life. He was
used to Simpson's discontented muttering
aud they disturbed the silent phlegmatic
old Scot no more than the buzzing of a fly.
IKE'S CAIIRLESSNE83.
Ike, at tho top ot the shaft, when the
bucket came up, kicked the board under it.
The lopsided beast turuod iu his trucks
and let the load swing down, and Ike
tugged it out on the dump and emptied it
with much punting and effusion of sweat.
Then be dragged the ponderous tub back
slowly. Kuipty, It was a pretty good load
for a man, being built of thick, oil soaked
staves, hooped almost solidly from bottom
to top with heavy irons, and thickly in
crusted witli hard, heavy clay and bits ol
rock driven into every ccevice by long use.
Ike prided himself much on the dexterity
with which ho handled this big bucket by
its great wrought iron bail. He swung it
jauntily over the mouth of tho shaft, and
as he had dono a thousand times before
with graceful success, kicked the board
from under it as be swung the ropearouud
to hook it in its accustomed place.
But the hook clanging against the bail
failed to catch. The great bucket disap
peared like a shadow into the shuft's dark
mouth.
Ike lunged wildly forward to cateh it,
lost bis foothold and he, too, went into tbe
shaft.
Down at the eool bottom of the hole
Simpson was still at his dismal cursings.
"I wish," saiU he petulantly, "I hud
never seen this cussed hole. I wish I wns
dead. I good God, Sandy, the bucket's
loosel"
' THK FALLIXG DUCKET.
Sandy's burly framo flew up like an acro
bat's. In the twinkling of an eye he was
pressed luto the corner of the shaft, clutch
ing back so hard against the rocky walls
that the tips of his tuuued fingers whit
ened. Simpson bad dropped his pick, and be,
too, was pressing the rocks, holding back
his breath, flattening his outstretched
hands against the resistless walls.
And stiU the open space In the center of
the shaft's bottom seemed scarcely big
enough to drop a hat in.
Simpson tried to close his eyes, but tried
in vain. Tbey were fixed beyond the power
of his Kill upon the fulling bucket. He
could sue it dropping, lunging from side to
side of tbe narrow hole, lie saw it tear
clouds of duat from the clay hardpan, saw
it reach aud strike the deeper layers of por
phyry. It bounded from side to side of the hole;
striking now and again on a jutting frag
ment and tearing it loose, it rattled and
cluttered against tho hard rock. It seemed
to come so slowly far more alow'ly than it
used to when the rope had let it down.
To Simpson yeurs, centuries seemed to
pass as the bucket clanged and rattled
against the sides of the shaft. lie thought
with the all vivid rapidity of men thus
facing impending death. He saw bis old
home in the .Missouri bottom lands, his
mother's face aud the face of the maiden
who waited his returu.
And he saw tho blood dabbed face of the
man he had stabbed over tbe faro table
down in Tuscon. He wished now that he
had never quarreled with that man.
TUB SUSPENSE ENDED.
It was an actual relief to see that the
bucket was coming faster now; wherever
Its Iron bound sides touched the porphyry
tbey ground streams of sparks that glit
tered wickedly in the half darkness. Its
rattlings and clangins bad merged Into a
continuous rolling ear stunning roar. He
made his eyes close at Inst.
There came a crash terrific and resound
ing, and Simpson found himself standing
stiffly against the rock wall, laughing fee
bly like a hysterical schoolgirl nnd stu
pidly fingering at a long rent in his flannel
under which he was beginning to feel the
smart of an equally long red furrow
scratched across his breast.
Across the tangle of twisted and bent
hoops and splintered, riven staves that filled
up the bottom of the shaft he saw old
Sandy also standiug sturdily up. Sandy
was Hazing up the shaft, his red whiskers
bristling with rage. Simpson followed his
gaze, lie saw hanging by hitf wrenched
arms from tbe fifth round of the ladder
thut run down tiie shaft, Ike Wisdom,
twisting aloiit to look down upon tbem
with scared white face. He had caught at
random upon the ladder as he tumbled into
the shaft.
Sandy shook his fist at the clinging man
vehemently. "Now, ye think ye're duiuned
smart," he roared.
And they had to lay off .three days while
they went down the trail to Fairplayand
lugged back tbe half of a coal oil barrel
wherewith they fashioned a new ore bucket.
All the odd moments of those three days
werespentin impressing upon Ike Wisdom
tbe positive necessity of booking the rope
to the new bucket before he kicked away
the b ard. Kansas City Times.

One bright day In wintry weather
Lore and Wisdom met together;
All Love carried was bis quiver,
Vet he did not seem to shiver;
Wisdom, though in furs, was cold;
Love was young and Wisdom old.
Wisdom, ever seeking truth.
Asked the comely, naked youth
How his body wasn't frozen.
As he hadn't any clothes oaf
Love, for answer, sent an arrow
Wbluing bito Wisdom's marrow,
And tbe old man's blood waxed hottert
