Buffalo, July 7. Buffalo lost to Syra
cuse In a free hitting game today. Kll
roy amd McGtnmls were the opposing
twirlers. While the latter was touched
up more freely than Kllroy, the salt
towner was much too free with his
bases on balls, almost every one of
which resulted In a tally. Of the hits
made by the home team, seven were of
the scratch variety and two bordered
on errors of the fielders. With one run
behind in the eighth the bases was
filled with Buffalo men. One man was
out and Lewee was expected to score
the winning run. 'He went out on an
easy- pop fly to Eagan, and Dowse was

twlrler came off second best. The
Rochester were able to get but eight

SATURDAY GAMES.
Great Work of the Provldoaee Club la the
Second Inning.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Providence, July 7. Tho moat pecu
liar game of the season was played here
yesterday when Providence defeated
Scranton by the work that was done In
one Inning.
When the second inning opened De
laney seemed to get rattled, and the
more Irovidenc hit him the worse he
got. Siven slnsles and a two-base hit
were the result of the battlnff work,
while the four bam on halls and the hit
by pitched ball aided Providence to
make tho eh-ven runs.
After the second inning1, however, De
laney was praotU-ally unbattable and
Providence made no more runs, buit aa
Scranton could not the'.r hits from Lov
ctt count the victory was an easy one.
The score:

Slugging Match at Rochester.
Rochester, July 7. A slugging1 match
was enjoyed by 1.400 spectators yester
day afternoon, and Rochester was
lucky to come out with the lead. The
Canad:ans hit Harper as he has not
been hit more thin two or three times
this reason. Their .score would not
have been so large, however, if the
Rocheeters had not fielded very poorly.

Another Gams for Gannon.
Syracuse, N. Y., June 7. Gannon, the
pitcher recently secured by Syracuse,
was a complete puzzle for Buffalo yes
terday. The Stars knocked Herndon
out of the box in the sixth Inning and
they had IRtle difficulty with Fournler,
who wis substituted. Fournler was a
member of the defunct Gloversvllle
team. The Stars played an errorless
frame and ran bases in brilliant style.

By defeating the Pirates Saturday,
Boston goes from third to second;
Philadelphia moves up from eighth to
seventh, and Brooklyn drops from
sixth to eighth. Brettenstein pitched so
well for the Browns yesterday that the
Orioles' lead in first place is reduced
so that Boston may get first Vlace to
day. Anson's men,, by defeating Cleve
land, send that club from fifth to sixth.

THEY COULD NOT RUN.
Reporters Are Not Good at That Kind of
Athletio Work.
By the score of 11 to 12 the Reporters'
Base Ball club was beaten by a club
composed of printers iSaturday after
noon on the James Boys' grounds. The
game lasted Severn Innings, and was
close from start to finish; It was lost by
the reporters through poor base run
ning. The brilliant battery work of Brown
and Owen, for the reporters, was the
feature of the contest, and It required
the united efforts of tho players behind
them to lose the game. Crossin and
MeUuIgam officiated In the box for the
printers and were wild at times.
Aside from the battery work -the fea
tures of the game were the Inlleld work
of Dennis Kelly and T. J. Duffy, and the
heavy batting of Thomas Owens.
NEW INTERSTATE LEAGUE.
Stnte League Monageis Hold a Confer,
enco In I'hllndf ililn
Philadelphia, July 7. W. Abbott Wit
man, of Reading, and Manager William
Sharsig. of Hazleton, of the Pennsyl
vania State league, held a conference
today nt the Hotel Hanover with Man
ager, Kelly, of the Camden, N. J., club,
and Charle3 Hawkins, of Wilmington,
Del., In reference to the formation of an
Interstate league.
It was deckled to refer the matter
to the State league, which is to hold
a special meeting within a week.
DIAMOND DUST.
Boston has lost every extra Inning game
she played this season.
Clark, the Giant's first baseman, is not
fast enough for the league. Boston Globe.
Tommy Bannon never falls to knock out
two to his crodlt along with a stolen baso
or two.
The New England association's season
has formally closed and the league has
been disbanded.
We play today and tomorrow at Spring
field with the Ponies who havo won from
us four out of six.
Captain Anson has made only seven er
rors during the season. He has had 616
chances, accepting its.
Von d-er Ahe declares he will sell Brelt
cnsteln for any thing ho can get if he does
not get In shapo soon.
Scranton has spilt even with the Provi
dence champions on the two series, each
having won four games.
Eagan is hitting tha ball oftener and
harder than Stearns. Eagan is becoming
known as the most reliable batsman on the
the team.
Cincinnati now has only two of the five
catchers that were signed by that club for
this season, and 'the two that are retained
ar? members of tho old guard.
Pitcher Moynlhan, farmed out by Spring
field to New Bedford, has got himself into
trouble, by jumping his contract. He was
fined a week's pay and left the club.
The Syracuse Herald devotes half a col
umn to proving that Kuntxsch must re
lease Curt Welch and Sweeney, and get a
couple of outfielders before he can "win
tho pennant.'"
There are many minor league first base
men the superior of W. Clark, of New
York. Rogers, of Providence, and Bir
mingham, of Nashua, ara easily better.
Boston Herald.
Base ball has queer changes. Last year
Baltimore gave Inks and 12,000 to Louis
ville for Hemming, and this year. In a los
ing club, Inks Is showing up better than
Hemming Is with the champions.
A Cleveland base ball writer says: Mr.
Young's staff of Incompetents have been
levying fines right and left without cause,
until now a ball player Is unsafe as soon
as he leaves the bench and steps into the
coacher's box.
Delahanty, of Philadelphia, leads the
league on two-base hits with 23 of them.
He has also five three-baggers and flvo
home runs. Thompson; of the same team,
has made 20 two-baggers, 12 three-baggers
and 8 home runs. The entire team, up to
July 2, has made 114 two-baggers, 33 three-
baggers and 23 home runs.
Amos Rusle, speaking of his fine for
drinking, says he had Just met Burko
when the latter cotno to the hotel, feeling
vsry giddy, and he thought the fine unjust.
It Is said that Runto notified Mr. Freed
man that he would not pitch unless the
fine was rem W ted, and It was understood
that the penalty was lifted.
Mr. Freedmaii, of the New Yorks, says:
"I have offered In good faith 110,000 for
Burkett and McKean, 16,000 for Breltsn
stein, 13,000 for Ely, of St. Louis: 1,7500 for
Turner or Delahanty, and 32,000 for the
pick of -two men in the Louisville team. I
also told Anson to name his own terms for
Shortstop Dahlen. In each one of these
cases I have been unable to make a deal.
because the clubs can't afford to let the
men go while the present season Is on.
But I want to say right here that I will
not spar? expense to land the best players
In the country when the time conies."
The league heavy hitters have batted
out 201 home runs thus far this season.
Boston heads the list with 20, followed by
Chicago with 20. Our own Phillies have
gathered in 23, the same an St. Louis,
Washington comes next with 18; New
York, Louisville and Brooklyn, with 15
each; Cleveland, with 14; Pittsburg, with
11; Cincinnati, 7, and Baltimore with only 6
to their credit. Big Sam Thompson heads
the individual lint with I chalked up to
his honor. Stewart, Chicago, Is a good

Asbury Park. N. J.. July 7.-AUhough
the national meet of the League of
American Wheelmen, scheduled for
July 3 to 13 does not formally begin

cyclers have already arrived here and
establlrthed themselves at the various
hotels, some of which are, even now,
crowded.
Tho arrival of the Century run from
Newark last evening was the real be

WHIRLS OF THE WHEEL.
Tho Denver Wheel club, seventy-eight
strong, visited the white house, at Wash

way to Asbury Park, N. J., to attend the
bieycle rnces, after which it will muko an
extended trip through the ent.
That the Manhatten Beach cycle track
Is as safe and as fast In rainy weather as
in fair was clearly demonstrated Thursday
after a fair test. J. P. Lennon and C. P.
Church, two local racing men, were Bent
two miles around the truck during the
heavy rain storm, and found no difficulty
In covering the distance In good Btyle.
There was no slipping of the wheels nml
no such unpleasantness as accompanies a
ride on a eiuder path course. Charles M.
Jaeobs, the consulting engineer of the
lAng Island railroad, who supervised the
constructloni of the track, explains this
by saying that the surface of the track Is
sufficiently roughened to prevent the pos
sibility of a machine slipping off.

It Is thought that the old man was
killed to obtain a supposed store of
money that he kept In the house.
Five negroes have been arrested, but
there Is no evidence against them, and
they are being held only as witnesses.

NEW STORY OF LINCOLN.
Mndo Ills Visitor Toko Off Ills Shirt and
show a Wound.
President Cleveland had a breesy and
Interesting caller at tho White House the
other day, writes Walter Wellman, in the
person of Governor Upham, of Wisconsin,
The president and the governor had a
good, old-fashioned chat, In the course of
which the visitor told a little story.
"Just thirty-three years ago, Mr. PreS'
ident," said he, "I stood In this very room
talking to the man who was then president
of the United States. It was M.r Lincoln.
Senator Doollttle, from my state, brought
me up here and Introduced me and told
Mr. Lincoln that I had Just come from the
rebel prison hospital In Richmond, where
I had been for three months with a gun
shot wound Jn my shoulder. To my great
amazement President Lincoln asked me
to tnke off my coat. Inasmuch as I was a
soldier and he the commander-in-chief of
the army and navy, I promptly but won
derlngly obeyed orders. 'Take off your
shirt, please, said Mr. Lincoln, and I
pulled off my shirt. 'I want to see your
wound,' explained the presidont, and he
stood me up by that window and looked
closely at the spot where the bullet had
entered my shoulder. He was as sympa
thetlo as any woman could be and said
all manner of nice things to me. I sup
pose I am the only living man who was
over asked by a president of the United
States to tako off his coat and Bhlrt In tho
White House."
Preoslng aa a Cure-All.
The hypnotising experiments which have
been attracting attention recall to mind
the notions of a certain Swedish "profes
sor," who vaunted the surprising advan
tages of his peculiar process for curing dis
eases. He proposed to frecso sufferers from
any and every malady, by slow degrees,
Into a state of Insensibility, to cure their
Ills while they remained In the torpid state
and eventually to thaw them back to con
solousness and tho full enjoyment of their
pristine health and strength. One would
say that It would be rather easier to get
subjects to submit to hypnotism than to
this "freeslng" process, however 111 ihey
might be.
The chairman of the Tower bridge com
mittee, London, is said to have once re
ceived a letter from a Belfast genius,
with a proposal which completely puts
In the shade any possibly Imaginary way
of bridging or tunnelling the English
channel, He declared that he had In
vented nothing less than a submersion
railway and locomotive engine to cross
the Atlantic. Such details as the provl
slon of air for the passengers and coal for
the engine appear to have been too trivial
for hint to condeacend to consider, but
doubtless In due course these trifles will
be provided for. A very similar absurd
ity is the proposal of a French physician
to form a syndicate but what can that
blessed business, a syndicate, not do for
the purpose of constructing a submarine
railway along the bottom of the channel,
the cars to be provided with air tubes
reaching to the surface,
