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

TWO TO ONE.
Cannon, the New Syracuse T Irler, Was
u Disastrous .Mystery to Scrnnion's
Hitters-I ccptliifi the I'list Inning, Wc
Put I pu Splendid Fielding Game.
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-

nlng run. Mlnnahan Hew out to Ban
non. 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.

YALE WINS EASILY.
Harvard Crew hid l.tttlu llcttcr T hum tllvu
the New Haven Crew a Pructlco spin.
Knee Was Won by Eleven Open Lengths.
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. He muK have suffered
inter.se pain during the lust mile.
The uccldeiit to the Hurvard sliell by
encountering the steamen t waves made
'he total dlsiHaiice bi'tween the boatf
bout eleven Instead of seven lengths,
mil the time thirty-five second1. In
stead of twenlty-flve.
Today's race marks 'Hie coix-.luslon of
'die live years Yule-Harvard ugivement
.nd much doubt exl'its regarding a re
newal of the contract. 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. He ureswered' "If
they win the Henley and come back
and want to meet us, I think we shall.
I thlt'.lt we can get '.his crew together
and train the men In a week so that
we can give Cornell a very pretty piece
of exercise."

WHIRLS Of THE WHEEL.
John L. Sullivan now rides the bicycle.
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

Building Inspector John Nelson paid
a visit to the old Monies and Pugh
building on the south side of Iacka
wanna avenue, at the corner of Wash
ington avenue, yesterday morning and
decided, after a careful survey of the
premises. Hint It wus unsafe and posted
up notices.
The structure is on old one and what

Sir. Nelson hus no power, according
to law, to close up the building and
forbid further tenancy, but It Is his

made know, do so at their own per
sonal risk.
