TJJE .., SCRANTON THIIIUNK SATUIIDAT- MORNING JUNE 29, 1895. Latest BASE BALL YesterJuy's name lost to Syracuse made only three defeut' out o( the last eleven games played by 'the Hcrantun club, record not possessed by uny Eastern league team excepting Spring field, who lost only three games out of twelve at the beginning of the season. By winning or.e game today the Springfield feWa will be equalled, and by capturing both games Scran-ton will hold the best record out of thirteen consecutive game j"pl.iyed. This week's calculation was upset by Thursday's rain, which prevented the second game Wflli Rochester. With Meaney pitted agali.iat ll'arper, and the Huh Unfiled with the success of tin preceding guinett. It li? fair to presume that Semn ton " wiJfftO" huve won. Anyhow, the Hub huH won three out of f'Hir games 'this week, and by taking one of to morrow's two games the record for the week will be four out of six. I'p to two weeks ago each player, ex reptlng the batteries, was tilling a com paratively new position. It Is within two weeks that the team ha. made Its great spurt, and this fact gives promise of good woik li 'the future. The men are bitting well and the tuily chance for Improvement Is better team work. The collective pluylug Is not bud by any imaim; It Is better than could be expected of a team really only two weeks old. yet It does not compare fa vorably with theclub's hitting strength. Th' i fact I. borne out by the club's victories which have been' won by lift ting ratiier than, lleldlng. At all events the Seranton club of today could play the old team to 'x stands-Mil. and If In next week's series with Wllkcs Barre we fall to win at l-ast two of the f.ifir games well. It will be hard luck aiul not a poor 'team that causes such a cat'a itivphe. n Monday and Tutsdav next the Peranum club Roes to Wilkes-Barre. Wednesday. July o, Is an opt li date. On Fourth of July mornimr the clubs will play In this city at 10.30 o'clock. and for the afternoon game ill Wllkes-Hnrre. the Sonar ton management will conduct an excursion over the Delaware and Hudson road. It Is sate to predict that the games In Wilkes-Barre will be at tended by a number of Scratitoii cranks two times gi cater than attended the last series, when the Alligators took from us live out of six games played. A winning team pays. The pitching strength of the team, when Imby's split hand heals, should do much toward pushing the percent age upward. The ex-colonel, with Meaney, Johnson and Delaney comprise n formidable quartette which will stand favorable comparison with the pitching contingent of any club in the league. It Is a fact, however, that Delaney In particular and possibly Meaney cannot d.i their best 'twirling when pitched id'tener than twice a week. Kxactly the opposite applies to Luby and Johnson, who are heavy und phlegmatic, and work bettrr when pitched reasonably often. The Tribune has contended and c ontends now that Delaney Isas effective n twirler as any on the Seranton club, but the strain caused by his peculiar style of delivery Incapacitates him for more than two games a wnIi, Under pivrper conditions he Is n. puzzle to bats men: he has proven this many times, and proved It forcibly, too. .So. It Is hoped that Luby's Injured hand will soon permit him to take his regular turn In the box, and thus prevent a posslbllltyof strain upon either Delaney or Meaney, and at the same time boost the club along on its upward climb. President B.tts paid last week that the outfield would be rolled as soon as the association could secure for the purpose the city's road roller. Only in three games of the present series at home have the Seranton outfielders been exempt from errors. A total of six errors has been charged against them, only one of which was for a. muff. This fact speaks volumes and further comment seems unnecessary. In mentioning things good and bad, the club's management should not be forgotten. Billy Barnle, who came a stranger to the city and a stranger, ex cept by reputation and recommenda tion, to the association, has won for himself the absolute confidence of the owners of the club and a corresponding respect of the game's patrons. F.veii this little said of a base ball manager means much. But aside from Manager ISarnle's professional Qualifications he has a genial personality, is Industrious end Is gifted with a courteous and quiet manner entirely at variance with many In similar semi-public posltons. PIAMOND DfST: Two games today. Springfield, June M. Spriniffleld-Toronto game postponed; wet grounds. Providence, K. I., June 28. Providence Buffalo game postponed; rain. Johnson and Meaney will pitch for Seranton In today's two'games. The first game will be called at 2 o'clock, Rusle says he can take the Indianapolis team and, with himself as pitcher, wipe the New Yorks oft the face of the earth. Meaney has had only one chance offered him In right field In the last two gamin, and that chance was an assist Wednesday. Pitcher Lucid, of Hrooklyn, was given a gold watch In Boston by the printers In the Herald office. He used to be one of them. Anson made an error after play ing eighteen games without a mlsplay. Tn sixteen games he failed but once to make a hit. ' "Vllkes-Barre News Denier: "Seranton Just now appears to he very comfortably fixed In the way of pitching material, provided J.uLy can show up In as good form as Johnson, Delaney and Meaney are doing." They are to have night baseball games in Chattanooga If the Southern league continues the full length of the season. The plan Is to have a great number of arc lights on the fences surrounding 'lie park.' The plan was recently tried In Nashville with some success. Wllkes-Barre Record: "Eagan, who used to be up In the front row of scrappers and kickers, has probably decided that it doesn't pay, for he's quiet us a lamb these days saws wood and says noth ing." This refers to Hilly Kagan, of Syra cuse, not Pat Kagan, of the flcrantons, Anson, who Is credited with being the most astute of all the league manugers, .Is said to have once Inquired where the Cleveland got "that freak," referring to Ov Young, who was then pitching his first game In fast company, I'ncle Ansn has recently made an offer of J.'i.OuO for Young's release. Now that Bill Clark Is making himself famous with the Ulants, the Pittsburg papers are falling over each other In a. wild endeavor to let the public know that Kill was reared In the Smoky City, He played great ball for Seranton and the Events in Whol? Pittsburg writers never caught on but, the Eastern Isn't the National, doncher know. EASTERN LEACl'E. Yesterday's Kesnlts.

Alter yesterday's H-lnnlng argument .'. Ith Syracuse. Billy P.arnie's turklsh i iiMuris ought to be glad they are liv ing. Alter failing to shut Syracuse out In the t!i st half of the first Inning, In which tin- visitors scored without even the assistance of a bit. Kadford and Stearns were stricken with stase fright in tile .'-riantoii half mid iuglorlously l'unned out with Fete Kugan on second. That was one cause for Scranton's de feat. Another cause was a little round pebble which Jumped the ball over Huston a head in the ninth and per mitted a scratch two-bagger for Welch, who scoied on Simon's single. Another peculiar feature of the run-getting is that S-einnton's tally was made on a walk to lust, a sacritlce, a balk und a liy-out. yrom the beginning of the contest tin re was a great exhibition of pitching par i xcclleiice by Cannon, of Syracuse, and ferfinton's gilt-edged field work In loi.ling the enemy down. After Scranton's half of the .third not a run-ii".- crossed the plate until the little pebble Jumped the ball over Huston's head In tlk' ninth. (.iunnon, who was recently secured by Pittsburg from the Iron and Oil league of the western part of the state and then ivkased, was practically invinci ble. Seranton hits were as scarce as h-n n trvth, the large number of put outs l.y Powers and only four by the fielders showing that Li anon had us almost at bis mercy. An exception n-ny I e made of Pete Kagan, who pushed out a double and a single and sacrificed once. Delaney was without his usual speed, nor did he have his wonted control of the ball; only the sharp lie'.dlng behind him kept the g-nir! in doubt. Itannon's Star l leld Playing. Another prominent factor In Scran ton's plucky fight waA Tommy ISannon in center lield, whose eight put-outs do not tell the whole story. He was every where and any where, and covered more ground in a minute than any player seen in that position on the Seranton grounds tills year. He gave an exhibi tion of rapid and sure throwing In the third, when, with Welch on second and Sweeney on first , Simon sent a red whiskered grounder Into center. Kan non ran In lep.j than a dozen strides, when he met the bull and sent It like a shot to Rogers, who stopped Welch In time to return the ball to Huston at second, giving Simon a close call. Sweeney reached third on the play. It was pretty work. , After the second and excepting the sixth inning the Syraciisans showed a disposition to get on the base and then cavort around in a far.hion calculated to give local cranks . the nightmare. Only in two Innings were there as few as three of the visitors at bat. Kxactly the opposite Is true of Seranton. In four innings we were moved down In one-two-three order, nnd only In the second chapter did we have as many as five men facing the pitcher. . , Scianton lost Its grip at the start when, with none out, Radford fumbled Welch's grounder. Welch reached second on Sweeney'H out to liannon, and third on Simon's out from Hiady to Stearns. Welch scored on Brady's fumble and poor throw to first of Mln nahan's grounder. Mlnnithaii was forced at second. The score was tied by Seranton In the thlid and remained unbroken until the ninth. Radford walked to first, reached second on Kagan's sacrifice and third on a balk, and scored by a narrow mar gin on Stearns' out to Simon. That Scratched Tuo-llogscr. In the ninth with one out Welch sent a medium well-done one toward Huston. It seemed an easy chance, but as Huston squatted to receive 1t the bull bounded a foot over his head end went fur enough for Welch to reach second. Sweeney flew out to Bannon. With -two gone Simon sent a grounder Into center and Welch scored the win- HE HU FOUND IT SO MS 1T0U. 435 SPRUCE STREET, the best place In the city to get fishing tnckle and sportsmen's supplies.

With two out In the second Rogers was hit by a pitched ball nnd Brady made a Texas leaguer over second, and Delaney flew out to W. Eagan. Another golden opportunity was missed In the sixth. With none out P. Eagon singled and reached aecond on Steams' sacri fice. Ateaney flew out to Powers and Huston to Simon. Also In the eighth was there a chance to score. With non out Delaney was hit by a pitched ball and Kadford sacrificed. P. Eagan was thrown out at tltst, and Stearns fouled out to Mlnnahan. Wurd was sent to bat In place of Huston In the ninth, when, with one out, he sent an easy lly to Welch. Han non implied up a sinecure for W. Kagan. Score: Ht'llANTON. A.H. It. H. O. A. K.

Th deadly element of buses on balls prar tieully lost the game to Rochester b day. Campfield pitched the llrst for Innings but was being hit quite liar and was supplanted by Meekln.

New London, Cmm., June 28. The last und most brilliant Jewel In Yule's athletic diadem was placed with true bill" setting In the New Haven boys' civvvn by unwilling Harvard on the Tliunii'S lute this ai'tcrnoon. Clean mid jtc.tdy oui iiman-dilp, aided by Har vard's udveiillllous steering, shot tin Yale shell down the four mile course from dales Ferry to tho drawbridge, beginning with a. superior start contin uing with a steadily Increasing lead ivi r the entire course, und ciilmlnat ng with u ti uggravutlngly easy finish Jl the four mile stuke. Thirty llious uid persons witnessed the race. It was Yule's fourth consecutive victory uud her eighth In nine years, Mid the presence of 2uo yards of open vater between the shells lulm the trl 'tiiph of a keen sportsmanlike flavor. The .race completed a cleuil sweep for '.'ale In the past college year, the foot all, track uthl. iles and crew chum ilonslilps for lsuft now standing to her red It. Toduy's event closed u year's xpeiimeiit with Harvard. With the lauguiutloii of the system of prue- cally professional coaching at Ca;n ldge. a new aquatic era was thought i be inaugurated for the crlmsoii3. Very Uur.gcd Harvard Work. Today Hie results of Coach Wutson's . ork were to be put to the test and crit ally judged. Harvard's exhibition was it meritorious. The stroke was slow Inn It should huve been sharp, speedy hen It was needless, but ragged con nually. The coxswain's errors, too, ere atrocious. Yale was judicious and in no risks. In consequence the race as won without getting In long range C record time, but no chunces were .ken in winning. Sure, not speedy, as the Yule policy. Clark, the Yale coxswain, took the humes' currents on the course like native New Londoner. He lost hard it foot by judicious rudder swerv g und gained u sroiig point for his a! by getting the most out of the lal advantages in the Yule water ly. Rust evinced an affection for the ;3t shore. He hugged too closely for vo miles, proved llckle later and steered he Harvard over a semi-circular course ward the middle of the river, but not lickly enough to dodge encroaching alt. Yesterday's object lesson In the dan- rs of thoughtless boats who violate in-enforced harbor laws was doubled lay u u til further evasion of the abuse lonld constitute a case of criminal gleet by th proper New London ofll ?ls. .lust ufter three and a half mile st was passed the Harvard shell came uarely mi the swash of the steamboat ahel, which recklessly set her paddle heels in motion to draw aside. Har ird dodged the steamer, but wa.-i irsed around helplessly In the swash ir several ssconds. The Harvard shell ad barely cleared th ? finish when Its sec nd accident happened. A row boat had "ntured out Into the channel and the 'nrvard coxswain fulled to avoid It. h? prow just missed the row boat, but '; two craft clashed together. Both 'ere utmost overturned, but the Hur ard shell extricated' Itself and es aped. Greater Than '88's Two-Miles. A single record was broken the two nlle distance ki a four-mllo competl ion. The champion 'SS crew of Cap aln Stevenson, covered the distance In 0.3ft. Today Captain Armsti-ongVi men nade I't In 10.21. Not a man dropped In 'Ither boat after finishing. The race evolved uisj ther Instance if athletic heroism. When the crews 'truck heavy water on the h-st mile tr.d a half Langford sprang his oar 'ock, and In a struggle 'to replace It, .vrenched his right arm and shoulder severely. He pulled the race faultlteis 'y ui.'J when the order came ,to cease nv'.'iig, cramps doubled his arm to his lndy. lie could not use the member until Dr. Hurtwell and Captain Ann strong had worked over htm. for a quar er of an hour.

In view of the ?ordlallty of the a'.hletlc relations ut niesenl existing between Harvard and Cornell. Mr. Cook was asked if Yale would row Cornell.

The Curbondale Bicycle club lost G0 by Its race meet last Thursday. Tuklng the weather Into consideration, the meet was a grand success. Buy Dawson, the New Jersey class A chumpiuii. ami Ills trainer, II. Collins; C T. Miner, the Bliiiiliamton flyer, and fl O. Fuller, of HIiiKliaintuu, were il.e Kiiest of the (Ireen lide wheelmen 'i'buVjduy evening. According to a Philadelphia dispatch yesterday, Sanger, Tyler and Johnson have expressed their willingness to race for a $1,1111 purse, und the Pennsylvania Bicycle club hus the mutter under con sideration. The (been Ridge wheelmen have decided lo hold a. nice meet the latter part of next month, probably Saturday the 27th. A large number of enti les uie ussured, as the majority of the eluss A men who raced ut VVilkes-Buri e and Curbuiulale this week urn desirous of contesting. A well-known Class B rider is suld to be puld $7u0 a mouth to ride a certain make of wheel, his prizes being personal property. Tile same rider could turn professional, win at leust $tiio for every race m wmcn he finished first uud still command u Hill ary from lln- uiunufucturer. On the other hand, us u Class B man, the diamond or other prize that he may win Is vulueil on the programme ut $lfto value, but In reality Is usuully only worth about $luo. In Bultlmore the fender craze has reached a point where these appUutict'S ure attached to bicycles. A Seranton wheel mun recently received u letter from u Bal timore friend describing the new fungled uppllulice, which Is fastened to the wheel fol k and reaches to within an inch or two or the ground. Whether the fender will permit the rider to churge Into flocks of geese and dogs Is a question; anyhow, Baltimore fool riders are using the thing. Job n S. Johnson will In all probability be the chief representative of the I'nited Stutes at the great meeting of 'cyclists to be held at Cologne in the late summer. He will ride in the International cham pionships, und If In form, should create the same sensation as his Illustrious pre decessor In foreign lands, Arthur Zim merman. The employers of the Minne apolis crack ure said lo huve recently held a. meeting ut which It was practically decided to send Johnson ubroud. Kek will of course accompany him, and A. K. Weluig, of HillTulo, who hus announced his Intention of tin ning professional, may act us pucemuker in Ills trials. It Is suld that th otHeluls of 'he League of American Wheelmen ore all coining to the conclusion that ill the near future their organization must assume jurisdiction over professional racing. Chairman (leorge D. Gideon, of the rac ing board, In discussing the professional situation, suld: "1 don't see any reason why the league should Ignore professional racing any longer. The Pennsylvania Bicycle club bus usked for a sanction for three professional events to be held In connection witli its amateur races next month, and It will be granted. There is no reason why professional cycling should not become a gentlemanly ami legal sport. The League of American Wheelmen Is powerless to take any action on the pro fessional (mention this year, but the mut ter will come up before the annual meet ing, when there Is every reason to believe AMONG THE PUGS. Billy Hennessy, who sparred three exhi bition rounds here lust winter with Judge, has been knocked out by Dan Creedon, who flnis-hed Hennessy In six rounds.
