bring the leaders and tallenders closer
together, but the only change In post

win from the Canadians. This sends
the former up out of the eight hole,
which they have filled for a month,
Wilkes-Barre pitched Betts, a utility
player, against Springfield successfully,
and Bcranton won by an eyelash in a

IT WAS EXCITING.
I'mplro, Playere and Spectators Bccomo
Mixed In Yesterday's Game With l'rov
idonce.Whloh Seranton Won by a Small
MoJorIty-"Cuh" Strieker Ordered from
the Grounds,
If ever thlng3 were mixed up at a
base ball game, that same happened
yesterday when Bcranton won from
Providence by one tally in a 10-lnnlngs
game. When It was all over nobody
could exactly tell how It happened, and
even the detailed score cannot be used
for the translation of the game. It
was a contest in which Umpire Hurst,
the players and spectators were mixed
up In a nasty mess. Hurst will have
to shoulder the blame for It all, not be
cause he Is umpire, but because he Is
not an umpire; at least his work yester
day invites such a comment, which Is
the general opinion of the majority of
the 800, persons who saw the game.
That the contest was xcltlng is a
mild statement. It was turbulent from
the start to the finish of the ten in
nings, during which Bcranton scored
14 runs and the Champions 13. Provi
dence received a little the worse of
Hurst's elastic Judgment, both on the
bases and behind the plate, and open
rebellion by the players and a threat
ened riot by the spectators made things
decidedly lively In the sixth Inning.
With two runs In, one out and a runner
on first Cooney hit a sizzling grounder
inside third bag and along the foul
line. Cooney reached second, but
Hurst called It a foul hit.
Manager Murray Objected.
Captain-Manager Murray and "Cub"
Strieker protested In language so vigor
ous that Strieker was fined $10 and
Murray ordered to the bench. Strieker
continued to kick and was ordered out
of the game. Meanwhile the crowd
was roasting Hurst and continued to
do so after play was resumed, when
Hurst heard Strieker "lacing" htm near
the bench. Time was called and Striek
er ordered from the grounds.
Murray objected to Hurst's language
and manner and the umpire walked to
the bench where Strieker was standing
and pushed him toward the gate. Blows
would have been struck but for the ar
rival of one of the association's freak
policemen and the Interference of by
standers. Strieker accompanied the po
liceman through the gate, but later re
turned to the bench. He was replaced
at second by Dickson, who had been
catching, and McAuley went behind the
plate. The commotion put the specta
tors on the tip-toe of excitement, and
Hurst was unmercifully roasted until
the finish.
Quarles was In the box for Seranton
and appeared to be in good form until
the sixth Inning, when a triple, two
doubles and a single were made off
him and: three earned runs scored. It
waa at his own request that he was
taken i from the box In favor of De
laney. Until the sixth Inning only six
scattered hits had been made off him.
He had sent three to first on balls and
was beginning to weaken,
Delaney was batted all over the
grounds In the seventh, but ho after
ward pulled himself together and kept
the Champions down to one two-toase
hit. During -the seventh a triple, a
double and two singles were secured
off his delivery.
For Providence Eagen pitched good
enough to win, but for the seven costly
errors behind him.
Ward's five errors contributed largely
toward the run-getting, but he was se
verely 111 with bowel trouble and in no
condition to beion the field. During the
morning and immediately preceding
and during the game he pleaded hard
to be relieved from playing, but abided
by Barnle's request that he play if
possible. Smith, also, was ill with the
same complaint, although his condi
tion was not as severe as Ward's,
How the Runs Were Made-
Bcranton scored in the first three in
nings and was never headed, although
they were tied In the ninth. Two
rune were made in the first on Ward's
Single, Radford's double, a wild pitch
and a single by Clark, For Providence
In the second a force hit by Strieker,
Ward's wild throw, a base on balls to
Murray, and Eagan's single scored one
run. For Seranton in the last half
three unearned runs were scored on a
base on balls to Johnson, Cooney's er
ror, bases on balls to Ward end Rad
ford and another error by Cooney.
Score, 5-1.
Whitehead was hit by a pitched ball
in the third, reached third on Johnson's
hit and scored 911 Strieker's wild throw.

WAS A SURPRISE.
Dctts Pitches Good Ball for Wilkes. Barr
Against the Ponies.
Wirkes-Barre, Pa., June 7. Wllkes
Barre and Springfield, the leaders of
the Eastern league, met for the second
time today. When the time for calling
the game had arrived the captain of
the home team found that he had no
pitchers, Meekln and Campfield both
being laid up with rheumatism. Betts
was brought In from center field and
put In the box. To the surprise of
everybody he proved very effective. He
gave five Springfield men their bases
on balls, but the heavy batters who
faced him could do nothing with his
delivery until the ninth, when, four
earned runs were scored off him.
The visitors did not play as sharp a
fielding game as yesterday, and their er
rorrs were also costly. The features of
the game were the double plays of
Shannon and McMahon. In the sixth
Inning Donnelly and Lyttle had a war
of words, Donnelly accusing Lyttle of
Interfering with Gunson while the lat
ter attempted to throw a runner out at
third. Donnelly appealed to the um
pire, but the latter said he did not see
the alleged Interference. The two bel
ligerent players, after threatening to
annihilate each other, were finally sep
arated. Attendance, J,200. Weather
fine. Score;

Buffalo Lost-Two Pitchers Batted Oat
of the Box.
Syracuse, N, Y., June 7. Syracuse
added another to their string of vic
tories today by again defeating Buffalo
In one of the finest games ever played
at Star park. It was the liveliest kind
of a game, abounding in brilliant plays
and hard line hits, and the 1,700 specta
tors were kept on the tip-toe of excite
ment until the lasl man was retired in
the ninth inning. Buffalo batted Day
out of the bos In the second inning and
the home team continued - to pound
Vlckery until he was forced to retire at
the end .of the sixth Inning, Kllroy,
who succeeded Day, proved effective.

Defeat the Torontos,
Rochester, N. Y., June 7. Nearly 12,
000 people saw Rochester and Toronto
battle for ten Innings this afternoon,
with the result of the "game in doubt
until the last gasp. The locals led until
the seventh inning, when McPartlln
allowed four singles and two bases on
balls, which, with two errors by White
and skillful base running by the vis
itors, enabled them to got ahead by one
run. The Rochesters got. two more In
the eighth, which gave them one the
best of Toronto. The score was tied in
the ninth. Gray gave three bases on
balls in the tenth and forced in a run.

of the leading division of National
league clubs hold their positions as a re
sult of yesterday's games. Boston won
from the Pirates, as did Chicago from
the Orioles, which breaks the tie of. the
latter club with Boston In third posi
tion, and sends the Orioles down to
fifth. The Spiders go from fifth to
fourth by winning from the Senators,
and the Reds drop from fourth to sixth
by losing to the Bridegrooms. New

TWO SCRANTON PLAYERS.
Something About Plteher Delaney and
Third Baseman Whitehead.
One of the most valuable players on
the Soranton team and one who Is st
great favorite with the cranks Is James
B. Delaney, plteher. Delaney was trans!
ferred to the Seranton club last year
when the Blnghamton club disbanded
and Bcranton went into the EasteYn1
league. For Blnghamton the; young
twirler did effective work and he con
tinued on his good record last year
after signing with Bcranton. This sea
son, although the club is near the foot
of the list, he has been in the box In
JAMBS B. DELANEY, .
One. of Scranton's Pitchers. '
most of the fames won. His style of
pitching It of the kind most dreaded
by batsmen; Seldom does he . throw
two balls of a kind In auccesslon, de
pending upon cunning and a puzsllng
delivery rather than speed. One of
his best games was against Buffalo In
this olty last year. Only four hits were
secured off him and Seranton won by
score of 8-4. Unlike many pitchers
Delaney Is handy with the stick, and
has become known as one of the club's
best emergency hitters., On many an
ocoaslon he has . faced the. opposing
pitcher when a cracking hit meant the
winning of the game and under such
circumstances he has usually lined her
out for anything from a single to a
triple. On the home grounds in a game
with the champions last year he Is re
corded as being five times at bat with
four singles and a double to his credit.
He was born In Rochester twenty-four
years ago, and as early as In hts sev
enteenth year while playing amateur
ball gave promise of future greatness
as' a pitcher. With the Demoreats, of
Willlamsport, in 1892 and . 1893, he
proved invincible, and in 1894 was taken
by Blnghamton. He was considered a
great find and his work for that team
proved Ihim valuable. The Scrtinton
management has never regretted hav
ing signed him. During the winters of
the past few years he has been em
ployed by the Demorest Sewing Ma
chine company of Willlamsport. .
One of the best third basemen In the
league and one whose fielding record
until April 1 ranks second among nine
players occupying that position, Is
Milt Whitehead. He Is a Californian
MILT WHITEHEAD,
Scranton's Third Baseman.
by birth and resides In that state dur
ing the winters, when he shoots game
for the Ban Francisco markets. He
is 32 years old and is unmarried. He
uses splendid Judgment In his
position, rarely makes a mlsplay and
his few errars are usually of the sus
picious varlaty. Recently he has been
suffering from kidney trouble and can
be pardoned for not putting into his
work the snap and vim of which he Is
capable and which his position de
mands. His record In as follows: 1884,
shortstop, St. Louis; 18S5, catcher, Kan
sas City; 1886, shortstop, Leavenworth;
1887, third baseman, Los Angeles; 1888-9,

baseman, Denver; 1892, shortstop, Oak

LEAGUE AVERAGES.
Out of One Hundred Players Only Three
of Seranton are Among tho First Fifty
lllttcrs-Whltchcad the Only Player
With a Good Fielding Average.
With the close of the month of May
nearly a quarter of the Eastern league
season was finished, which , found
Bcranton In sixth position and among
the tallenders. In this connection
figures are interesting which show
the individual records of the Bcranton
and other players. Will F. Baker, the
sporting editor of the Syracuse Cou
rier, has complied unofficial averages of
all the Eastern players up to the last
day of May Inclusive.
KUroy, of Syracuse, heads the bat
ting average list of 100 players, while
Ward, of Seranton, Is second. Kllroy,
however, had played in only six
games, so the comparison hardly seems
fair to Scranton's second basemen. The
other Seranton players occupied posi
tions in the batting average list as
follows: Whitehead, twenty-third;
Clark, forty-sixth; Delaney. fifty-first;
Rogers, sixtieth; W. Johnson, alxty
slxtlh; Brown, sixty-ninth; Sweeney,
seventy-fourth; Brady, eighty-third;
Houle, eighty-sixth; Radford, nlnty
second. It will thus be seen that only
three of Scranton's players are among
the first fifty hitters of the league.

F.urckos Defeated at Moosie.
In a hotly contested elght-lnnlng game
at Mooslc yesterday the Eurekas, of Prov
idence, were defeated by the Mooslc club
by the score of 11 to 12. The fielding of the
losers waa poor. Catcher Regan saved his
team from a severe disgrace by batting
out two home runs with men on bases
each time. The battery of the Mooslc club
was Kelly and Callaghan, and of the Eu
rekas, Frank Regan and Phil Regan. Tho
Eurekas are anxious to play the Mlnooka
club on June 9. Answer through Tho
Tribune.

The Phillies do not win many games In

Lush Is certainly playing as good ball as
any outfielder In the Eastern league, and
Rochester has a prize In him.
The PIttsburgs have a hold on Pitcher
Eagan, of Providence, and may s;jure
"Big Mike" Mahoney, of Georgetown uni

be In the box for Bcranton today. Rogers
will catch him. Lovett and McAuley will
be the Champions' battery.
Wooster university has two baseball
nines, made up from tho membership of
two of the rival girl student classes. They
are said to play a very fair game.
Old Joe Hornung and Willie Callhan are
playing great ball with Atlanta In the
Southern league, hitting the ball freely
and putting up a good fielding game.
Before Anson left New York he made a
bet of 3500 with President Frecdman that
the Chlcagos would beat the New Yorks
out In tho race. - The money Is up, at least
the men say so.
Lush, Rochester's center fielder, is milk
ing himself famous. For the last two or
three days he has been putting up a star
game In the field and at the bat. His very
presence Is enough to send the bleachers
Into tits. It is even rumored that he may
get an offer from Philadelphia, where his
prowess has been heard of.

F, Clark, of Louisville, In sliding to sec
ond In a recent game, threw his feet Into
Jennings, and the latter claimed that lie
tried to spike him. Hughey retaliated,
after which he put the visitor out by hurl
ing the ball at him as he lay on the
ground. Clark jumped up, and for a mo
ment it looked as If there might be fun,
but Umpire Betts prevented the budding
fistic encounter.
If It was because Tim Hurst didn't iret
tho job of managing the Seranton ball club
that he yesterday mode such notoriously
unfair decisions and acted so much like a
mlsllt, then he should not be permitted to
appear another time on a Seranton ball
flold. If, on the other hand, his work waa
the result of Incompetency, he ought to lie
dropped ffrojm,., President Powers' staff,
without a moment's delay. Umpiring like
that which HurBt did yesterday severely
hurts base ball; and self-respecting man
agements ought not to tolerate it.
At dinner Thursday Anson said: "My
men have made fourteen hits and have
only two errors charged against them.
These other stiffs have seven hits and six
errors. Yet they take the game. Have I
no redress In this matter7" The sergeant
In charge told the "Grand Old Man" of
baseball that It was evidently a bad case,
but that he obviously could do nothing for
him. Whereupon "Pop" ate three plates
of Ice cream, two angel cakes, drank three
large glasses of Ice water, and said:
"Well, they won't get away with It this
afternoon," a prophecy which was only
too sadly fulfilled.

DAVID MORRIS BADLY INJURED
Part of a Foundation Wall Pell I'pon
Him-Lecture of Prof. George Howell
on tho Moon-Bcrtle Stevens
Entertained Ilia Friends.
. Burled beneath tons of dirt and a
large stone wall David Morris, of Key'
ser Valley, was perhaps fatally hurt
yesterday afternoon, while at work on
Luzerne street. Mr. Morris Is employed
by Contractor Reese Reese In rebuild
ing the stone wall which surrounds the
charred ruins of a house at Luzerne
street and Hyde Park avenue, which
waa burned down some time ago. This
wall is twenty feet high and Is made
of large stones, over a foot In thickness.
Under the shadow of the wall, on the
outside, Morris was loading a wagon
with dirt taken from around the
foundation.
This work loosened the mass of stone
and It suddenly fell toward where
Morris was standing, crushing him
against against the wagon, his left arm
being nearly lopped oft by pressure
against the wheel. He was taken home,
where Dr. Reynolds examined him and
found innumerable bruises, but the
worst hurt is supposed to be of an In
temal nature. The accident occurred
at 4 p. m.
Young Mcllugh Again Missing.
Andrew McHugh Is again missing. It
will be recollected that early In May
this bpy ran or was enticed away from
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mo
Hugh, of North Main avenue, and a
diligent search was successful only
after four days' endurance. Twice
since that time has young MoHugh
left home without his parents' knowl
edge; once he was found In Wilkes,
Barre. These escopndes iwere kept
from rthe public by the father, who
himself, did all the searching. This
time the most extreme efforts have
been made to discover the lad's where
abouts, but so far have been without
fruit, and at last Lieutenant Williams
was notified and the police are now
searching. Andrew left home Wednes,
day morning to attend the St. Patrick
parochial school on Sumner avenue,
ana nas not since been seen. Mr. Mc,
Hugh says that he does not understand
his son's wandering tendencies, as the
young fellow Is of a Bteady disposition.
xne lad is about 11 years of age.
