Scranton' superb work iu defeating Allentown yesterday placed it on equal terms with Alleotowo for the honor of leaning the State league proeeanion.and if the Iki-3 only keep up their good work we may actually become the lender in the race within a few days. It' n fine thing, as well lis nn entirely new sei.siitiou for the ball crunks iu this city to have a club that can set the puce. Yesterdays' game was a brilliant ex hibition of ball playing in which the home team shone with conspicuous lua tur. S:allz, Hogan and Pbelan mod' phonumeual catches and Westlake made ii stop of a hot lice drive from Kelly' bat that sent the audienco aglow with enthusiasm. The force of the ball turned Westlake completely around, but be recovered himself and sent tne ball to first in time to put out the erst while king of the diamond. Maybe those brilliant plays didn't evoke enthusiasm from the 1,500 spec tators. HISTORY OP THE STRUGGLE. The terrible slugging that marksd the previous day's game was noticeable by its absence from yesterday' eon test. Allentown bad put its best foot forward and with Baldwin in the box was prepared to make a desperate ef fort to win the game and retain undis puted possession of first place. A an c fleet to Baldwin Manager Swift put in Hodson, who proved far more effec tive than the late crince of National league twirlers Mr. Baldwin. Wetzel promptly at 4 o'clock walked to tho plate and faced Baldwin, going out from Mulvey to Kelly, Hogan made a low drive close to the second bag that Short Stop Sweeney brought to stand still by a superhuman effort, lie sent it to first, but not in time to cut off the flet-footed Hogan, who went to third on Fttcben's single, Maseey sent a fly to Wise who caught it and then cut Hogan off at the plate by a throw to Milligan. After Phelun and Staltz had been re tired in the second inning, Rogers made a tingle and Westlake a doable. Both scored on Hodson's double. In the third and fourth Scranton failed to add to its score, ALLENTOWN BADLY RATTLED. Uodscn opened up the fifth inning by Striking out and Wetzel was retired on a fly to Costullo. Hogan made a three bagger and Pateben was hit by a pitched ball. Baldwin purposely gave Massey his base on balls, filling the baee8. Pbelan marched to the plate liko a general and after some pre liminary spurring sent the ball straight for Baldwin. The latter interfered with but did not stop it and Hogan scored, Phelan reached first and the other runners advanced a base. Staltz was the next man to fondle the willow and he broke the hearts of Kelly's men by pushing the sphere out against the fence between center and left field. Patchen, Massy and Phelan scored and the bull was returned so carelessly to the field by the disgusted Allontown playor that Staltz reached third and came homo on Roger's base bit. Westlake wag retired from Bald win to Kelly. There was no further scoring by Scranton during the re mainder of the game, but there had been enough, quite enough. allentowk's one run. The solitary run that Allentown secured was made In the fifth inning. In the third Baldwin secured a two base bit, Wood following with a drive into left field that George Staltz cap- tured with one hand hs it was sailing over bis head. Baldwin succeeded in reaching teeond ou the hit. Then Sam Wise sent the ball out for the center field fence but Hogan stopped Its ca reer by a sensational one-handed catch. It was a remarkable feat and be rein forced it bv throwing Baldwin out at seoond. The latter thought tbe bit was good for three bines and bad al most reached third when the ball was caught. He was unable to retreat. Tne run secured by Allentown was made by Wood ou hits by himself, Wise and Kelly. Allentown secured seven bits, six single end a double off Hodson. He struck out three men, gave three bases on ball and hit one man. Baldwin wa found safely eleven times. Seven were singles, one a three base kit and three two base bits. He struck out two men, gave three bases on balls and hit one with a italied ball. The score t XT? Si SCRANTON. R. II P.O. A. B. 4 a o 6 10 4 0 0 5 10 8 3 0 4 0 0 1 1 0 1 3 1 1 1 0 27 10 1 P.O. A.

The Lonir Haired President cf the Scran tan Club ArUes to Rcmrk. President St. John, of the Scranton Bis Ball association, is ration elate 1 over tbe success of the borne clnb, so elated in fact that for a second time this season be has decided that the Scranton club can get along very well without tbe assistance tbe newspapers give towards making the national game popular and talked about To a Tri bune reporter he said last night: "We are seriously considering the advisability of taking up nil tbe tickets now held by newspapers and paying for the advertising of such games a the club plays in this city. Some ac tion will be taken with regard to this matter tomorrow. ' The reporter assured Mr. St. John that such action on the put of the as sociation wonld be heartily applauded in tbe business offices of the daily pa pers of the city, every one of which has devoted valuable ppsce and expended much money in ac curately reporting games at home and abroad all of which has been a cer tain extent advertising for the Scran ton Base Ball association and for which, ho far as Tim Tribune i oonorned, it has never been recompensed to the extent of one cent in coin of the realm. It is a business Arrangement in which the base ball association has decidedly tho best of it. If the members of the Scranton Base Ball association are not destitute of busiueas Kenan they will snpproas Air. Sr. John. . The nswspuper people of this city have listened long enough and much too patiently to his mouthing. concerning the obligations they are tindor in being allowed to report the games of the Scranton lima Bill club. ECHOES FROM THE HOME PLATE. Springfield has roloased Pitchors Horner and Sigsby. Tho home team won its sixth straight game today. Pitcher Vote Daniels, of the Kansas City club, seems to linvo the pitcher's record. He has won twonty out of twonty-throe games. Pitcher Moran, of Brookville, a loft hnntler who pitched for N.nhville until the Southern league disbanded, has been signed by Uarrisbu.ig. President Byrne, Bcoordlng to a wontern pnper, pooh-poohs the idea of sectional leagues. Ho says that the twelve-oluh league has come to stay. Hazleton will meet Scranton at the ball park today aud make a strong effort to break the long string of defeats it has sustained from Scranton. Mar in Mi Quaid, tho Cinclnna outfielder, has been released by Captain Comihkey. He did not play In a championship game, and his hardest work has been drawing bis salnry. The Now York players complain that they wer not luruisnon with Ice for the water given thorn to drink either in Brook lyn or Cincinnati and bad to buy It them selves. Scranton Inns are now Rotting the kind or ball playing by tbe home team and they ure appreciating It tou. Fifteen hundred people saw the game yesterday aud 1,-00 tue previous nay. Mulderig hold down a position on the Allentowu ueucn yesterday and before the piinio bigtin twirled the ball for H'Veral minutes tor the edilkation of King Kelly, who actod as catcher. Tho Slars, of Pine Brook, challenge the Stars, of Priceburg, to a game of bull on the Priceburg grouuds en the dnte already mentioned. Auswer through this paper. George Buddy, malinger. John Claikson has made a novel objoc- Hnn tr, hia mlniiai, hi lti.tlirnnpii n..H l,i.a refused to go thero unless he Is given a bonus by tue Cleveland club. Thus tbs deal made on Saturday for tbe exchange oi tiiaricsou lor juunauo bangs ure. A rumor to the effect that the Scranton Base Ball association had been offered II, Dill) by the Boston club for Pitcher Hodsou was confirmed last niuht by President St. John, Ihe offer was made through Maua- ger Rand nil, or the Philadelphia State league club,' but was declined. "Wbeu Mr. Bandall askrd me if Hudson could bo boucut," said Mr. St. John, "I told him yes," provided the offer was a substantial oue. He said that the Boston people would give (1,000. "We know that Hodson is worth more than that to us and conse quently Mr. Randall was informed that Ii would take at least (1,200, aud possibly more, to secure him. That was the extent of our negotiation: nothing further has been said by Mr. Randall, .and certainly we are not. looking for a market for our players." Mr. St. John stated further that iu tbe event of Hudson being released it would bo stipulated that tbe Bale is not to Hike effect until after the present home engagements. Iu reply to the reporter's suggestion that perhaps a new pitcher of Hodson's culiber could not be engaged, tho local president stated that Yerkes gave every indication of being a good t wirier, mid that with Ycrkoa mid Flanauluiu anil some other pitcher who is available, the Scrauton team coulj still play winning ball. Mr. St. John htated that while the roieaso of llodsou hn.l not beon considered until the Boston -offer, Scranton could do without its star pitcher for a coiiHidorntiou. A further statement of Mr. St. John's that "good pitchers nro scarcer than white nileo" seemed rather auiliiuuous mid would indicate that a love or tho need of the long groen nitubt bo construed ns having a bearing ou tho mo tivo for Hudson's release. THE PRESS CLUB'S REGATTA. Protpro s Britfht for 0a of th But Evint Evir H'U In AmM'loa. The regatta to be held at Lake Ariel on Tuesday, Aug. I t. under the direc tion of the Scranton Pre club.alreudy gives promit-e of b in.' n far greuter event than was that of ltt)3, and which oarsuieu who were preent d-clnre I one of tho most successful aquaiio events thoy ever took part iu. There will be eleven kreat contest during the course of the "lay, tho first event begiiiuing about 11 o'clock, and they wiil em brace everything in rowing from the j.luiur sing.o rnll to the great bicht oarod senior shell race, and in tho various struggles will appear such men as ilxilley, Amaii, Don'cgiu. Hawkins, Coughlan mid others who are famous iu ti.e annuls uf American umiitetir oarsmen, the first named uow holding tho championship. he was at L ike Ariel last year and was a priza winner. He expect1 to maintain his record. Another star lu the senior singles will bo Oscar Werts, of Newark, who has inishe - himself to the highest elans by the most earnest work. The Plymouth Stars will also have crow in live dif ferent race, aud to show their enthu uiasm in the rogatta they have ur ranged to run a special excursion train through to L ike Ariel from Plymouth crossing via tha I) -laware and Hudson through Wilkes-Barre and Parsons, assuring to the people of thos" plaos unsurpassed accommodations for gettiug to ami from the lake, and overcoming grandly the inconvenience they snif-jred Inst year. The Arcbbald Hose compauy will handle the excur sion to the like that day from the upper Lickawanna valloy, and thir sales of tickets will iuoiulo from Oly phant north. They are hustlers aud promise to give a big turnout. And as for .Scranton and Pitttton the Press clnb will handle the sales of tickets it self and there is every reason to believe there will be a great rush of people to see the nnsurp-issed sports. The train service will be all that may be desired. WILL HOLD A CLASS A MEET. Oren Ridae Biorcle Club So Decided Last Night.
