SXYDEK WAS AWFUL
Ills Umpiring Didn't Loso Seranton the
Game, but It MadcSprtnufleld's Victory
Ridieuoosly Easjr-Wo Were Outplayed
at Every Point.
There were two exhibitions at the
BaSita.il pork y:cterday afternoon one
by the Springfield and Seranton clubs
nd the other by Charles Snydor, an
umpire of thi rpepka dammttus rot
tccius. In showing how very, very rank
an umpire can b? and still escape ar
rest, Charles Snyder la a distinct suc
cess and a thing of great glory and Joy.
He ta not charged with robbing
Sctiaton of the game, because Seran
ton was never tn the hunt and could
never have won with any old kind of
umpiring, btft he did allow himself to
be bamboozled, brow beaten and flab
bergasted by the Springfield players to
to end that the score Indicates that
Seranton did not figure In the game even
from a theoretical standpoint. It Is hu
miliating enough to be played to a
ttamdst.Ml, but when the umpire Is either
plainly incompetent or partial and his
weakness is all In favor of the upper
dog why, 'then it is quite proper to
squeal, and to squeal long, hard and
often. Please, Sir. Powers, deliver us
of Snyder.
Satnplo of Snydor'a Partiality.
Aftsr the game had been In progress
tut erehort trme Oruber. who pitched
for Springfield, plainly showed that he
know your business," "Well, I'll play
when I get raady," or "You'd better
watch the game," or some such mild
eotprceiion and Snyder would go to
sleep to everything in Scranton's favor,
Oruber ever amd anon giving vent to
bis impudence aa a matter of principle.
The th'ng wcr. t along very nicely until
th? r.btth when poor Tommy Bannon
In ths fullness of his heart, took excep
tions to Snyder's elastic, pooh-bah Judg
ment. Tommy was fined So and ordered
to the bench but Tommy waa only a
Seranton player, and thereby hangs a
tale, illayar ConneU Immediately sent
down from the grand stand the amount
of th fine, and the mayor was compen
txlel ito within half a dollar of the fine
by tho free will offering of a number of
gentlemen who Pit near him. This In
cident did not s much represent a gift
as it did a rebuke to Charles Snyder,
the umpire of the species dammit us rot
ten us.
The batting, fielding and pitching
game of the visitor was every inch
wool and several yarfowrlde of a kind.
In fact, which makes It seem mysteri
ous that Wllkes-Barre could take two
games from them In one afternoon.
Those who saw the kind of base ball
the Sprlngfields can play, formed the
conclusion that Setts, the freak pitcher,
rather than -hi's team, won the games.
Details of the Pitching.
Oruber, with Snyder's generous as
sistance, was never solved. Off him
were secured only five singles and a
double, and only In four Innings did
more than three batsmen face him.
For Boratiton, Luby pitched fairly well,
considering) his two long periods of Idle
ness because of Injury. The thirteen
hits off him were for seventeen bases,
three of the singles were of the scratch
variety.
With the score 3 to 0 In favor of
Springfield, the only Seranton run was
made In the lair of the fourth. Meanej
singled, reached second on Eagan's
sacrifice and -went to third and scored
on Schemer's fumble of Bannon's long
nit to right.
Of Scranton's four errors, only that
of Cannon, In the second did not aid
Sprrrgllekl In the run-getting and the
same is true of only one base on ball
secured by the ponies. The three other
Sranton errors account for four runs.

Lost the Grays a Close Game Wit a
Wilkca-llarre.
Wllkes-Barre. Ta.. July 12. Wilkes.
Barre went into second place today by
defeating the champion Providence
grays In a game that was played poorly
on both sides.
Colcolough. Wllkes-Barre's new
pitcher, held the visitors down to three
hits for six Innings, but in the last
three seven hita were made from his
delivery with a total of fourteen bases.
He gave seven "bases on balls, but for
tunately only one of them scored.
Hudson pitched a steady game but
was hit freely In the first five Innings,
and the poor support given him allowed
Wllkes-Barre to score elRht runs In the
last four Innnings. He was a puzzle
the remainder of the game, the run In
the eighth resulting from Bassett's er
ror. Rogers received Intelligence that
his father had died at Bridgeport, and
Egan held down first very acceptably.
Orlllln's catch of Bassett.V long hit in
the fifth Inning was the star play on the
home grounds this season. Weather

NEW BUFFALO PITCHER.
tid Not Show Ip Woll Against the
Stars.
Buffalo, N. Y., July 12. Until the
fourth inning today it looked aa if
Syracuse would 'be shut out in order,
but in the fourth the Stars fell on Four
nler, and doubles by Mlnahan, Eagan,
Moss and Gannon; a base on balls by
Simon, and a bad throw to flr3t by
Fournler netted six runs; two safe
single1? and a ra.nk decision by Hurst
at third gave Syracuse one In the sixth,
and some more long drives with a base
on balls thrown In, scored thrte in the
seventh.
Buffalo played a good game in the
field, but every one of the Star's hits
was a corker way to the outfield, and
Bottenus, Shearon and Clymer had
their hands full in chafing the long
drives. Fournler will .hardly wear a
Bison uniform any length of time. At

DIAMOND DUST.
Springfield here today. Delaney and
Smith will be In the points for Seranton.
First Baseman Myers, of Lancaster, has
been signed by Hasleton and Ed Carfrey
released.
Springfield Is the only club In the East
ern league that has hit Meaney, the
Seranton pitcher, thus far with any ef
fect. Ills support yesterday was very yel
low. Seranton could soon overtake
take Buffalo In the race. Wllkes-Barre
Record.
During the New York-Chicago base ball
game Monday, Pitcher Clark, who relieved
Meekln in the box In the fifth Inning, had
been nursing a bad temper, stirred up over
some palpably unjust decisions by Umpire
Murray. He "laid for" Murray after the
game and struck him a vicious blow.
Jack Fetagle, who Is Anson's father-in-law
and a ticket taker at the turn-stiles, saw
the assault, and was about to call the at
tention of a police otllcer to it, when
Clark swore at him and called him a foul
name. Fcagle, UuspMe his 65 years, Is a
husky boy, and he landed two or three
times on Clark's Jaw, punishing him badly.
Clark lied. Murray ran like a doer when
Clark hit him, and waa frightened half to
death.
Referring to Monday's game at Spring
field the Republican of that city says:
"Betts can be classed as a misfortune for
Springfield. He did a remarkable feat
yesterday in pitching eighteen consecutive
Innings, and winning both games. Includ
ing a shut-out. Betts looks like one of
Pulmer Cox's Brownies In the pitcher's
box, but ho does his work well, as the
Springfield batsmen have discovered a
good many times. His left-handed shoots
look easy enough to hit, but they seem to
b? very deceptive. In the first game he
was particularly effective, allowing
Sprlngneld but four hits, two of these In
the first Inning. During the rest of the
eight short Innings Springfield could get
but two hits, one of th?se of tho scratch
order. It was risky too put him In for the
second game, and for an Inning or two It
looked ns though Springfield would hit him
hurd enough to win the game. But after
being hit safely four times in the second
Inning he Bettled down to work again and
allowed tho "Ponies" but three more hits
In the seven Innings."

Asbury Park. N. J., July 12,-As the
national meet of the League of Aemerl
can Wheelmen draws to a close the
attendant crowds Increase and care
more for the races than the sociability
and picnicking.
Last evening the carnival on Wesley
Lake attracted an Immense throng to
the shores of the pretty pond and the
spectacle they enjoyed was one of un
usual beauty and splendor. A hundred
little boats each gaily bedecked with
bright ribbons and flaring with Jap
anese lanterns wound up and down and
across the luke, under rustic bridges
that blazed with shinning lamps and
bent beneath crowds of spectators.
The statues at the lakeside were illum
inated by torches and burning powders,
while sky rockets, Roman candles and
Phowers of sparks arose from either
shore, reflected and magnified the sur
face of the water. The big ferris
wheel, dazzling with electric lamps, re
volved Incessantly, luntern parades
plodded the streets and bands played
everywhere and anywhere. It was a
groat night for the wheelmen.
This morning was given over to the
trial heats at the Athletic grounds, the
twenty-six preliminary events attract
ing an audience of fully 5,000 spectators.
The trials were for the most part well
worth seeing and the scarcity of acci
dents again was as welcome as it was
unexpected. Two or three bad tumbles
occurred however. ' In the afternoon
perfect weather greeted the riders and
a crowd that completely flllled stands
and bleachers saw a display of wonder
fully riding.
Two New Professionals.
A big surprise to many was the ap
pearance In the professional event of
Conn Baker, the modest Ohio man, and
I. A. Sllvle, of Statcn Island, who have
previously figured In class B. The "B"
men were unable to make a showing In
the money race owing to the execrable
handicapping which put them an
scratch, and Alva Stewart on the 150
yard mark.
The other features of extraordinary
and unusual character were the quad
race and Zimmerman and Dlrnbergers
trials against time.
The quad race was run against time,
each team going a mile on Itsaiwn hook,
tho one making the fast trip receiving
the prize, this policy being necessary
by the danger of starting two quads
entered at the same time. Peter Ber
los' four-seated machine, manned by L.
B. Callahan, Nat Butler, A. McLeon
and F. Haggerty, went a superb mile
in 1.D0 2-5, a new world's quad record;
Glthens, Seavey, Mayo and J. Coburn
pushed the Syracuse machine over the
tape In 1.63 flat. "King" Michael Dim
bei'ger, paced by the latter quad, estab
lished a new track and state amateur
record, riding handsomely In 2.01. His
fractional times were: Third, 40 3-3;
two-tlilrds, 1.20.
Zlmmy Docs n Practice Spin.
Michael did his little turn before
Arthur Augustus Zimmerman, the
champion of everywhere, took It into
his head to ride a mile paced by a pro
fessional quad manned by iStarbuck,
Coulter, Baker and Bartholomew.
"Zim" has ridden fast .miles elsewhere
at one time or another, but he resolved
to give his neighbor? and fellow farm
ers of Squan a little finer specimen of
the article than t hat to which they were
accustomed, a.nd he cruised around
three times In 1.57 4-5, the third being
made In 39 1-5 and two-thirds In. 1.18 1-3.
This is the fastest mile ever ridden by
the only "Zlm" In this country, and
considering the fact that the champion
I'.' all out of condition, it was wonderful
time.
The regular racing events 'brought
out much enthusiasm, of which the
class B mem In competition won the
most. These were two-mile handicap,
two-thrlds mile open and half-mile na
tional championship. These events
were red hot and uncertain to (he end.
Church, the new class B man, cap
tured the 'handicap by a tftort length
from Davidson, the Canadian, with
Monte Scott close behind.
The two-third mile open for a trip to
Europe and refurn was a battle royal.
Bald, Porter, Murphy, Gardiner, Coul
ter and Jenney lined up at the start
and gambledi for position uiitll the
quarter pole was passed. Then Coulter
went out and the Held scrambled after
him. At the head of the stretch Bald
was fourth and seemed to be beaten,
but Gardiner and Coulter swung wide
In turning and the Buffalo boy cut by
them at the pole, running home In a
driving flnl'.-ih, a wheel ahead of Charley
Murphy, who had loomed up on the out
side. Summaries of the Finals.
After some trick riding by Sid Black,
the half-mile national championship
was called, with Murphy, Zlegler, Bald
and .McDonald on the mark. Just as
the bell sounded the fun began. 'Mur
phy went ahead and stayed there until
the lap turn, when Bald and McDonald
flashed by him with Zlegler on the out
Blde. Down the stretch came (he two
Columbia boys abreast, '."training every
nerve. At the tape McDonald made a
supreme effort, and in trying to fling
himself over first, raised tils front
wheel clear off the ground in the attempt-
To many in the stand it looked
llko McDonald's race, and Bald, think
ing the same, rode tn with his perennial
smile for once submerged in grief. But
the Judge's decided on Bald as the win
ner. Things were to even that none
could contradict them.

Death of Professor W. George Powell

The West Bide Interests of The Tribune
have been placed In the hands of Emer
son Owen, to whom all news announce
ments and complaints may be addressed.
It was sombre Edward Young who
once said "Death loves a shining
mark." Never has this sentiment been
more sadly verified than in the death
of Professor W. George Powell. First
we see the man, brilliant, popular
and ambitious, with the dawning of
life's usefulness disappearing under
the fuller rays of the sun of success.
Then came ruthless Fate, with Its hard
ened hand touching and blighting for
ever, God's precious boon, the eyes after
this the flight of hope, the bltternesB of
despair; continual, awful darkness.
What could tho sympathy of friendly
bglons do toward alleviation! Every
charitable tear scalded the victim and
sensitiveness aided In turning every
drop of pity Into gall.
Every day the door of his home
opened and closed on friends. His
former pupils were his constant visi
tors, and everything that care, sym
pathy or medical skill could accom
pish was done, but to no avail. Now
comes death, quietly, silently, and the
soul of the sleeper Is stilled forever.
The arrow has reached Its mark, the
shaft tins entered t.he "shining mark;"

binger of doom months before.

Ulnkely Borough After tbo D. a H. C. Co.
for Blocking tha Highway.
The borough of Blakely yesterday be
gan a suit in equity to compel the Dela
ware and Hudson. Canal ompany to re
move the abutments which at present
obstruct the main road at Peckvllle.
These abutments were built in 1S60,
wh;i the highway was owned by the
CarbonOale and Providence Turnpike
and Plank Road company, from which
company the Delaware and Hudson re
ceived permfcaion to place i'.s abut
ments on the road. In 18S9 the bor
ough obtained possession of the road
and has owned and controlled It ever
since.
Since the construction of the street
car line along this road the place has
become dangerous, it is alleged. The
'ttreet was formerly fifty feet In width,
but as the abutments encroach on
either side 16 feet 5 Inches, there Is now
r.ot enough room for a wagon and street
car to pass at the same time at this
point.
The borough alleges that It is liajble
for the damage which may result from
an accident at this place, ar.d conse
quently take;, action against the com
pany, praying that court will compel
the railroad company to remove the ob
structions within thirty days after July
15. John J. Manning and I. H. Burns
are the attorneys for the borough.
