ALLENTOWN TOOK ONE,
It Wat a Wall Playsd Gams of Ball,
Howaver.
Scranton nnd Allentown gave a Gne
exhibition of ball playing at the park
yesterday afternoon, and Scranton lost
because the locals coald not hit Kil
roy's curves into safe spots in the field
or bunch the few hits they did get.
In only oue inning did Sfiranton
score, and that was 'in the sixth wheii
Johnson led off with a triple, Patchen
following with a double and Rogers
and Phelan with singles. On these
hits two rniis wore scored. Another
one might also have been placed to the
credit of Scranton, but for the foolish
L'Hse running of Rogers.
Allentown scored two rnns in the
third, one in the fourth and one in the
filth. Qunrles was the pitoher for the
locals and had good command of the
ball. lie also watched the buses cloaly,
It took but one hour and thirty-five
minutes to play tha game. The score:

LOUISVILLE SELLING OUT.
Buffalo Will Got Its Franchbe, So the
Story Cross.
"Confirmation of the sale of players
of the Louisville club comes from
among members of that organization,
who have been here for several days.
says a Washington dispatch in the
Philadelphia Ilecord. "According to
their statements, Tom Brown, the cap
tain and center fielder of the Louis
villes, has been sold to tho New York
club, and Fred PfelTer, who has no
peer as a second baseman, hns been sold
to Pittsburg. Weaver, one of the
catchers of tho Kentucky team, who
was released hero, at once accent
ed the terms oCEersd him by the
lsittiburjj management. He left
to join the Pittsbnrc team
while the tfiiuio at National Pnrk
was in progress. Before leavine. how
ever, Weaver, unbosomed himelf. If
he is to be believed, Louisville wiil not
have a team in fast company nnxt
year, notwithstanding the talk to the
contrary by President Stuckoy and
Vice President.
'lie stated that a syndicate in Buf
falo stood ready to roimburss tho
Louisville management for all legiti
mate outlay in initio up the park
there in consideration of receiving that
club's franchise in the National league,
and that the deal was practionlly com
pleted. When be made this etntemeut
several other Lonisville players were
standing about liijtsuing to the talk,
and they showed by their actions and
nods of assent that thoy believed the
story."

Menefeo, the ex-stato league pitcher, is
givon great credit for clover work by
Baltimore papers. One said: "He is
strong enough for any club. The last
time he pitched ngniiiBt Baltimore aud
the only time this season until yesterday
was when tl o Louisville club was last in
the east. Upon that occasion Hanlou's
meu knocked him out of the box. Yester
day they didn't. The Wenefee of yester
day was practically Invincible, lie bad
lots of speed, a great slow ball and a curve
that he simply fanned across the plate
whenever he wanted to."
The action of the Pittsburg club in re
leasing Merritt and Glasscock occasioned
much surprise. Ulasscock was released
because in tho opinion of the club owners
ho has seen his best days, nnd will not
be able to hold his own In the league
another season. Merritt was released be
cause a better mnn was secured to take
his place. He is Buck Woaver, late of the
Louisville club. Weaver, has been with
tho Louisvilio team since 1888, a man who
can catch, play first or tho outfield. Ehret
and Weaver were the tar battery of the
Texas league in 1SSS with the Austin team.

SOME VERY EXCITING EVENTS
Dr. Houser's Mare, Abigail, Gave
Charlie Hill's Jack a Desperate Bat
tleIt Required Three Heats to De
cide the Third Race Keeley and
Magnolia Broke to the Disappoint
ment of Their Admirers.
The attendance at the weekly mati
nee of the Gentlemen's Driving; club
yestsrday afternoon was even larger
thau usual. Tho commodious grand
stand was filled with ladies and their
escorts, and the enclosure in front of
the stand contained scores of hand
some traps and carriages.
The racing wns of a high class,
nil lot the ruiasraen showing lnerensed
proficiency, and many of the horses are
track-wise by this time. The additions
that theso facts make to the interesting
nature of the contests and the enjoy
ment of the spectators are noteworthy.
The scoring yesterday was less fre
quent and tedious than usual, and the
horses were sent away in better order.
The Bystem of starting the horses in
eaoh race in successive heats was ad
hered to nnd again proved a sueoess.
The first race was an easy one for
T. II. II , which was entered instead of
Grover by Joseph Hull. The winner
was protested before the second heat
on the ground that it did not belong to
a club member. It was charged that
tho horse is owned by Thomas H. Hull
and no denial of the allegation was
made. Mr. Crawford, the judge of the
course, took no action upon the charge.
Little Agnes, Pilot and Poor Richard
evidenced by their fierce battle for the
place that they are evenly matched.
Dasher was beaten away off. The time
was very good, consideriiit; the class in
which the horses were entered. T. II. II.
could, if pressed, to several seconds
faster.
DR. THItOOP'S VICTOltV.
That venerable kinsman was greet
ed with a salvo of applause as he drove
his handsome bays on the track prepar
atory for scoring for the team race,
With him in the road top wagon sat
Frank Merritield. The hand of the
doctor was as light, firm and skillful
as that of any of the experts who drove
during the afternoon, and the WBy he
neld bis big trotters level wns beauiifui
to behold. The ruce wan an easy one
for the doctor, both heats being trotted
without i slip or u break of any kind.
The fight for secoud place was spir
ited, J. II. Mearj securing it 'in tho
first heat and C. 31. Sanderson in the
second. The time, l.M and 1 3D, was
oxcollent, nnd the doctor only needed
foeinen worthy of his steel to make it
even better.
Fl'LlT HEATS IS THE THIRD.
Tho third race possessed moro inter
est than its predecessors from the tact
that three heats were necessary to d'i
cido it. Fanny Hlair showed up In
rare form in the first heat, none of the
others being nble to extend her. Frank
II. made a bold bid in the fir.it quarter,
but n bad break settled !iia cnancs.
The showing of Duke and Daisy was
disappointing.
The second hent was started with
Fanny having docid.idly the worst of
the send oft'. Frank LI. went right out
nnd was never bonded. Fanny wont nt
him hammer and tongs from the bead
of the stretch but, although she wore
down the lead inch by inch, she could
never quite get up. Pet Hand was a
decided surprise, coining up like a
ghost in the Ust hundred yards and
finishing right on top of the leaders.
Pet Hand receivsd lengths the worst
of the send-off in the third beat, and,
hnd she been at all well placed, would
have won with ease. As it wns ahe
made Fanny Blair step her prettiest to
win by a scant head. Dnke cutno very

too late.
jack's iiakd battle.
Dr. Houser's gallaut brown mire,
Abigail, mado a beautiful try for vic
tory in the second heat of the 2:40
class. Jack had it alt his own way in
the first, both his opponents breaking
badly. When the word was given for
the necond heat. Abigail went out lilce
n bullet. Rounding the turn at the
eighth, she was a length to the good.
This was increased to three ut the
quarter and she appeared to be moving
well within her limit. Jack was doing
his level best in the meantime, but
that was not ns good as the mare's.
Stvldenly ii brown huad was tos3d up
ward and n Bigli went up from the
doctor's sympathizers.
Abigail bail broken and Jack had
dashed into the lead. Charlie Hill was
guiding his horse with steady nerve
and excellent judgment, when a shout
of "Abbiel" "Abbiel" caused him to
look around. There at his whel was
the brown whirlwind again. Inch by
inch crept up the blood red nostrils.
Now they were beside him; now at
Jack s saddle, and now with the wiie
but a few Btrides away, the pair swept
along nose aud nose. Steadying his
liors for one last if ort, and timing
that effort beautifully, Charlie struck
his horse once, twice smartly ucrosi the
tl.iuks. The good horse responded gal
lantly, and the race wns won by a
nose in the good time of 1 13.
KEELEY BEATS MAGNOLIA
The match race between Keeley and
Magnolia did not come up to exneota
tions. Both broke badly, but Keeley
was the quicker to recover, aud 10 that
fact more than any other, inujt his
victory be attributed.
