ONWARD! STILL ONWARD 1
While Dcwa Into the Valley of Defeat
Want Philadelphia.
If Scrantou bad a few more snaps
like Philadelphia to encounter ou the
home grounds we would rapidly climb
to the summit of the league column.
Thoss Quaker City boys are not able
to even make a game with "Our Pets"
thoroughly intereting.
Their greatest weakness is in the
pitcher's box, but the team work is of
u very low grade and calculated to dis
courage any twirler in the business.
When the game opeued yesterday
Manager Randall put in McGuire, his
little sonth'paw pitcher. While at the
bat In the third inning McGuire was hit
by a pitched ball and had to retire
from the game, Brown taking his placa.
During the three innings he held down
the rnbber McQuire was found for two
singles, a double and two three base
bits, lie also sent five men to first on
balls.
Brown's pitching talent is located In
bis right arm, but be does not appear
to be much of an improvement on Me
Galre. He was touched up for eight
singles and a double, gave three men
bases on balls and hit Pitcher Yerkes
with a pitched ball. He bit the ball
once for three bases.
OUR NEW PITCHER.
Mr, Yerkes, the latest addition to
the pitching department of the Scran
ton club, made bis debut before a
Scranton audience. He looks like an
overgrown boy, but possesses a good
pitching arm, which will bring him
considerable fame if uot more, ir that
uiumber is properly cared for.
Yerkes makes a great fuss over de
livering the ball, but was very effec
tive yesterday. He bus fairly good
command of the ball, but seems to
have a great partiality for high balls.
He sent the majority of the balls over
the plate on a line with the bataman's
shoulders. Nearly all of the balls tbat
were called on him yesterday were
bitch.
He has an abundance of speed, some
good curves, and is cool and composed
at critical points of the game. He
faced the weakest team iu the league
yesterday and with -the splendid sup
port he received bad no trouble in
winning the gums. What Mr, Yerkes
will do when he faces the heavy hitters
of Allentown, Potttville, Lancaster and
Harrisburg remains to be seen.
HIS WORK YESTERDAY.
Yerkes struck out three men yester
day, gave throe bases on balls, bit ono
bttsmuu And was found for six singles,
a double and a triple. He fields his po
sition wull and keeps h close eye on ihe
bag. He was given first base on balls
twice yesterday, was retired twice on
infield hits and once on a fly into right
Masjev and Westlake made three
base hits and Staltz and Patehen dou
bles. Every member of the .Scranton
team, excepting Hosan and Yerkes, so
cured u hit. The score:

GLINTS FROM THE DIAMOND.
Hogan has very noor luck in hitlius the
ball. Ue seems unable to land it in a safe
place.
Jloran. late of the Nashville club, liaa
been signed by the Harrisburcr club as a
pitcher.
With a man like Toy of Puiladelohia in
right field Scranton would be a very evenly
balanced team.
Tim Keefo goes to the Polo orounds
nearly every day to practice. He says his
arm is as strong as ever.
Buck Ewing and Jiminie McAleer nrn

bothered them this season.

L.ouisvnu:i.
Perry Wotdou rayn that Frank Gounls is
tne star outtlplder iu tlie Western league,
and that be is covering more ground than
four-lifths of the league fielders and is
battlug in fine shape.
John Clarksou has mndo a novel objec
tion to liis reloasu to Baltimore and nas
refused to g tliero unless he is given a
bonus by the Cleveland: thus the deal for
tbo exchange of Clarkson for Uullauu
baugs tire.
Scranton and Lancaster are now tied for
second placu. If we can defeat Allentown
In the games we play with that club in
this city today and tomorrow we will tie
them lor first place. Let the Scranton
players now make tbe effort of their life,
McAlecr, of Cleveland, has given it as
his opinion tbat Scranton is the strongest
club in tbe State league, while Kelly bus
doneuB tbe honor to fay that he bellevoi
tbe struggle for tbe championship during
me secuuu Bunion win narrow down be-
tweon bcrunton sua Allentown.
Pitcher Yerkes has a verv neouliar d
lively. He stands facing the batsman with
the ball poised on tbe lingers of bis right
hand done to the cheek. Then he bends
down aud backward, his left leg describes
a circle in tno air ana as bis lorm again as
sumes an upright position the ball is de
livered. .
Cincinnati will give Carney Flynti a
trial. He is a luft-hander who has just
returned from the south. JJartiu Alu
Quald, the out-ilelder, has been released

a championship game audlhis hordnit work

Leaguu sum.
Henry Chadwick says: "What nonsense
it is to estimate a batemau or pitcher's
skill who is In a minor league team by his
butting average or ms pitching skill iu
striking out opposing batsmen. In estl
matint a fielder's ability in a minor loatrua
team the case is different, as sharp holding
hhowi itseif in any team. But batsmen
who bave higb base hit averages iu a
minor league clnb record, are, as a rule,
uowhere when they come to face skilled
strategists iu the major loagu. and uitch
era who are alleged "cracks" in tbe box
In the minor league tall lamentably when
they come to face team workers at the bat.
LOCAL HORSE NOTES.
F. C. Hnzzml. ot Green Ride, who
joined the Geutlemen's Driving club last
week, has become enthused with tbe
pleasure of racing and has purchased
three new horses. Tbe stock was bought
iu Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. and one may par
ticipate iu Saturday s races.
Nest Saturday may be seeu a team race
in which J. L. Crawford's pacers uud
trotters. Dr. G. E. Hill's bays aud Am brone
bpeucer s pair will compete. It is not im
probable, tbat Dr. Cbarles Hill will drive
bis gray gelding. Jim Wears, and Charles
Schudt's Johuuy iu the race.
It would be difficult to pick tbe winner
in a race which included J. H. Ladwig's
Blew, Piank Seigel's Prank y, L. T.
Payne's Duke aud J. L. Crawford's Coxey.
.Net, also owned by Mr. Crawford, is eli
gible to pretty fast company aufl might
give an account of lierelf in such a clsssi-
llcntlou.
Wulter Jormyn's Magnolia has beeu a
disappointment to many who kuow her
renl i peed. Her failure, however, to be
first or second iu the races of the past
two weeks should not reflect upon the
mare's quality. Slio was taken from tbe
farm but a few weeks ago and as soon as
conditioned aud hardened will probably
give u better account of herselr. In her
recent races she has not been rigged pro
perly. One of the lluest family horses iu the
city and consequently a horse deserviug
of special meutiou is tbo blood-bav re
cently purchased by Alexander Hunt.
The animal weighs about luW pounds, is
in good condition and safe aud has a free
and easy action. Mr. Hunt has beeu the
recipient of many remarks of congratula
tion from horsemen about the horse.
GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.
Frank Craig.the "Harlem Coffee Cooler,'
says ho will lii:ut Choyutki or Creudou fcr
tl.OUO to 2,500atide.
Cultured Boston is becoming a strong
hold for lacrofse. She probably has some
ot thu best players in the country ou her
tenm.
A cablegram was received by the Polica
Ou.ette trom London yesterday tnyiug
that George Johusou accepts Jack bUclly s
challenge to tight for JCbM a side.
The fas tost 2-year-old pacer to date this
season is tbe brown colt Judge Hart, by
William Al. Hill, who wou the Mist beat of
a race for his age at Couucil Bluffs last
week in 2.14.V
From all accounts old Dallas, 2.14', the
Kentucky bred pacer, is a faster borse
than he ever has been. He begun the
present campaign by witluing. This horse
was sold for fc250.
It is stated on pretty good authority
that no more prize tights will be ullowed
to take place iu the Can no, Boston, where
Fitzsimiuons, Choynskl, Meyer uud Ab
bott recently fought.
The stewards of the Jockey club have
granted the Brighton Beach association
the privilege of having two races each day
for horses 3 years old and upward of a dis
tance of less than one mile.
Dixon will not do any more severe work
until this full. He has earned a good rest
and it is sensible ot O'Rourke not to koop
up the work. In the meauwhile, however,
'lboinas won't overlook any soft marks.
Dick Burge, the English lightweight, is
reportod to be duugerously ill at Newcas
tle, England. He trained himself while
training for his tight withNiekless, which,
owing to this accident, had to be declarod
off.
Up in Buffalo tbe crauks on cycling think
that Eddie Bald will demonstrate before
the seaBou is over that he ii the fastest man
racing today. He was never iu better con
dition, und Asa Windle says that the boy
ii full of pluck.
Reflector has shown by bis work that
the paciug record is uot boyoud bis reach.
Ou June ill he negotiated u mile in 2.08.
Steel Prince, in tbe same stable, can do the
trick iu 2. 10 or better, having roc ently
worked a mile in 2. 11.
John Splan has the famous old gray
trotter Jack, by Pilot Medium, in his
ntriugon the Ohio and Indiana circuits.
The old fellow is looking as slick and full
of vim as ever, and Johu hopes to win a
few shekels with Lini yet.
Apparontly Leeds and McAuliffe are
two of a kind. The Brooklynite has al
ways been independent and assertive, and
the New Jersey man possesses both quali
ties, judging from bin answer to the prop
osition ot McAuliffe for a light.
Connelly & Quinn, of Pittsburg, the
backers of "Jerry" Marshall, the Austra
liau pugilist, say they will match the col
ored man against George Dixon for 5,01)0
a side and tbe featherweight champion
ship. They also offer to back "Ed" Smith
against "Bob" Fitzsimmons or Jackson for
a similar amount.
Stanton Abbott, the English light-weight
champion, says tha this only ambition now
is to be matched with Jack McAuliffe for
the light-weight championship of the
woild. He declares that bis record iu this
country aud abroad ought to bang good iu
his stead. However, ho stipulates, he will
not waive auy weielit to McAuliffe. He
will tight Jack ut 133 pounds or nothing.
