Ono Error by Each Club-Qunrlcs and
Sweeney Hclcnscd.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Springfield. Mass., June 14. "With
three new Harrlsburg players Scranton
lost to Springfield today through the
inability of Pitcher Johnson to cope
with Callahan, of the Ponies. John
eon was hit ten times for twelve bases,
while only four singles were all that
could be secured oft Callahan. The
game was full of Interest and the re
sult was never In doubt. Only one er
ror was made by each team.

Captain Sweeney today. Huston played
short, Eagen was In left field and
Meaney In right field. Of the four hits
by Scranton one each was made by En

clean hits In the first inning, but the

Harper Mnkcj a Kccord for Rochester
Against tho lllsnns.
Buffalo, N. Y., June 14. "Ole Boy"
Harper, of the Rochestors. re entitled
to sleep on a feather bed with two ex
tra; eiderdown pillows tonight, for he
used the Buflfcilos today as they have
not been served on the home grounds
this season. 'Not content with striking
out ten men, he even refused them a
little single till the fourth Inning, and
then during the entire game gave but
five connections for a total of six bases.
Vickery, on the other hand, was found
easily, and a record of twelve hits and
fourteen bases were piled up against
him. The victory for Rochester is due
to the magnificent work of the pitcher.
Jolly Berger officiated behind the bat,
and lie pushed the game along by eat
ing up four beautiful foul flies. The
Buffalos played a fast game, but all
the visitors' dirves had a surplus of
steam and whiskers. Attendance,. 1,000.

Yesterday way another remarkable
day In probably the most remarkaible
base ball race on record. The two lead
ers, Boston amd Pittsburg, lost, and ex
cepting New York, which Is In sixth
position, the eeven clubs following the
leaders all won, which tends to make
closer' and exciting this pennant chase
which for several weeks has destroyed
precedent. Bos'ton tried with poor suc
cess three pitchers ngainBt the Colts,
While the Pirates were blanked nine
4fmes by the Orioles. The only change
in postlon Is that Cincinnati by win
ning rrom the .Senators ties tho Giants,
who lost to Cleveland In the closest
game of the season. The Quakers took
two from the poor Colonels.

DIAMOND DUST.
Cleveland defeated the Giants yesterday
In the closest game of the season, score
1-0.
Gus Weyhlng, whose services were
sought by Scrnnton, pltJhed a losing gome
for Louisville yesterday agalnst'the Quak
ers. It looks as though the Clark-New York
deal Is on. Yesterday President Freedmnn
wired for Information of Manager Barnle's
whereabouts.
Sprlnglluld Union: "With the Ponies
all in regular position and tho Scranton
luns all out of position, Springfield lost
yesterday. Such are the vicissitudes of
tho national game."
Murty Swlfe, the ex-Scranton manager,
now of Carbondale, told two Scranton di
rectors Thursday that he had an offer to
manage Rochester. Marty doesn't talk
often, but when he does he gives vent to a
good one.
PltchcrColcolough. released by Pittsburg,
wired yeaterduy asking for $300 Scranton
advanco money on his salary. Colcolough
Is not wanted here now, although arrange
ments hud practically been made to sign
him. It is Bald that his arm Is not in good
shape.
President Betts said last night that al
though First Baseman Clark Is Scranton's
most valuable, player, tho association
would be foolish to refuse to trade him for
two or more National league players who
can be made to fit In positions now weak.
With their first baseman Injured the New
Yorks are anxious lo secure Clark, and the
deal may be soon consummated. Stearns
would bo able to cover the Initial bag. It
is possible that the State league will 'go up
In smoke within a few weeks, in such nn
event Scranton would sign Massey, of
Carbondale, If Clark Is released.
Rooters at the park have noticed every
time "Cub" Strieker went to the plate he
carried two bats with him and a moment.
before the first ball was pitched he threw
one of them aside. These bats placed
closed together he swung back and forth
as he walked from the bench to the plate,
amid the numerous remarks from the
bleachers, though few knew why "Cub"
did it. A friend of the "Cub's," sitting
near a Times man yesterday snid his rea
son for carrying the two bats was that af
ter discarding the ono th?other felt consid
erable lighter than It really was. In this
way he was enabled to swing a bat much
heavier in weight than If he had not car
ried two. Wllkes-Barro Times.

IS ZIMMY AFRAID.
Claims That Ho Is Hedging from the
, Johnson Race.
It Is reported that Zimmerman's recent
action in regard to the proposed match
race with Johnson was a "bluff," and that
the champfcn Is so much afraid of losing
his title that he will not compete with
Johnson, as a possible defeat would lower
his "market value" In Australia.
The truth of this was ascertained by the
committee In charge of, the Pennsylvania
Bicycle club's meet. H. D. Le Cato and
O. Weise, representing that club, went to
Freehold and saw McDnrmntt. who hurl
full power to act folr the champion.
as a Btarter L.e Cato asked if he had the
29th open for engagements', and what
would be the figure to get Zimmerman
over?- Yes, the date was open and (500 tho
price for an exhibition mile. Mr. Le Cato
then said that as "Zlmmy" had no en
gagements the Pennsylvania' club would
cover the champion's be) of. (5,000, and
asked for the match to come off on tho
29th at Philadelphia. "Oh, not that would
not do," said Mac. "We want the race to
take place at Asbury In July. Besides,"
said "Zim's" manager, peeing - another
loophole, "ife want Johnson's money. See
here, get Johnson to put up (5,000, you put
up 85,000 and we'll put up a like sum and
get any of the cracks who want to come
Into the race at (5,000 entry fee and we'll
go Into It." .
This was a staggerer, and was evidently
meant to put an end to all further parley.
Ing, the meaning of which was, only too
evident. Le Cato, however, was not to
be bluffed. Raising the ante (5,011 a clip
was going It pretty strong, but the Penn
sylvania man was game. After a mo
ment's conference with Welse he came
back to McDermott and said: "I'll take
you up on that' The Pennsylvania Bicycle
olub will put up (5,000, we will guarantee
that Johnson will put up (5,000 and you put
up (5,000. making In all (16.000. Now-wll
you cpm?T" - ' . .
It was then that McDermoft had to come
down and acknowledge that Zimmerman
did npt want to race, as the possibility of
defeat was too big a risk to take in view
of his proposed Australian trip.

club will nttend as a body.
Chief Consul Isaac B. Potter rejected the

they refused to pay their entrance fees,
Mr. Potter notified all the men named of
hlB action, but added that If their entrance
money, as provhled for In the League of
American Wheelmen rules, was paid, he
would allow them to compete.
Tho Pennsylvania Bicycle club, of Phil
adclphla, has secured a great concession
from the racing board. Chairman Gideon,
through the advice of President Wllllson,
has decided to allow tho club to mix pro
fesslonal races with tho amnteur events
at the race meet June 29. This Is a big
card for the Pennsylvania club, which Is
the first organization to have professional
and umateur events mixed. Heretofore
it has been necessary to keep back the
professional events until after the ama
teur races arc concluded.

DON'TS FOR BICYCLE RIDERS:
Don't "wabble."
, Don't ride "head down."
Don't ride a "dark wheel."
Don't "coast" without a brake.
Don't ride your sister's "bike."
Don't Bwear by your cyclometer.
Don't "scorch" on the crowded boule
vard. Don't wear a black Bweater In the sum
mer. Don't carry an extra load. One Is enough
for a wheel.
Dont" try to pose. Bicycle riding is no a
"Cakewalk." - . . . :
Don't, oh, don't appear In public on' a
wheel wearing a silk hat.
Don't carry matches. It Is cheaper to
borrow and more sociable.
Don't try to climb fences. The bicycle
Is unfitted for the steeplechase.
Don't forget your tool bag, unless you
want to lead your bike home.
Don't hold too tightly to your handlo
bars. The vibration is very tirimr.
Don't borrow a road map. Get one of
your own so that you enn lend it.
Don't wear '.'toeclips" just because Zim
merman and Johnson use them.
Don't wear "puff" sleeves, as It Is hard
to ride against the wind with them.
Don't do stunts and fancy tricks on tho
road. Leave that to the vaudeville stngo.
Don't try to make dents In a two-ton
truck with a twenty-three pound wheel.
Don't take up the whole road in your
efforts to guard your "bloomer" from col
lision. Don't ride up a hill with an angle of
forty-five degrees. You will feel better if
you walk up.
Don't wear golf stockings on a long Jour
ney, unless you nre seeking martyrdom.
Don't ride In the middle of the road, or
you will catch trouble "a-comln' and
a-goln',"
Don't get gay and try to ride through a
flock of geese. You will be thrown every
time.
Don't drive out In the middle of the rond
when there are flocks of bikes behind you.
Don't carry a flask In your hip pocket.
It looks bad, and Is likely to be lost be
sides. New York World.
