Hockeatar... 9 Providence....... A
It Is a surprising coincidence that
Springfield and . Providence were de
feated on the same day, and particular
ly so In the case of the Grays who were
taken Into camp by the Rochester. Hut
Rochester's victory was due especially
to the mystic pitching' of Harper.
Springfield phiyed with a team of crip
ples, only three of the players being1 in
their regular positions. Buffalo played
an errorless game against Wllkes
Barre, who made five errors and won
only through Keenan's puRilIng pltch-
Ing.
The defeat of Toronto by Scran
was in a large measure caused by
visitors' ragged fielding game. The

TOROXTO'i MAST ERRORS.
Helped Sera nton to Win the Garoe-I.uby
Was Wild and; Retired After the Fifth
and Mconey Finished the Game.
' 8cranton won, by the halr-ralslnfr
margin of one run. the first of the
Toronto series. It was a game without
glory for Scranton, Patrick Meaney
excepted, amt the result was chiefly due
tothe eleven large and awful Toronto
errors). .
If, Gray had received ever fair sup
port Torouto would have won with
'hands down, aB Luby, for five Innings,
was wilder than a pitcher has any
license to be, and gave Toronto an
excellent , chance to gain .a big lead,
assisted by a quartette of costly errors
In the third and fifth Innings by Ward,
Smith, Sweeney and Schrtyer, the two
latter being of the excusable variety.
Toronto had a lead, of only two runs
In the' fifth Inning, when they should
. have had four runs tn the bank, -which
would have been a sufficient leewayi to
have won the grtme. but for their own
three yellow mistakes In the seventh,
and which were responsible for two of
Scranton's three runs. . .
Meaney Was Conspicuous.
During the four innings that Meaney
was In the box he struck out three
men, lilt a batsman, gave one walk to
first and allowed only two singles. He
also figured conspicuously In the run
getting by making a telling single In
the seventh and another In the eighth
Inning. - -,. ......
The appearance of two new Scran
ton players, Schrlver and Sweeney,
probably accounted for a slightly in
creased , attendance, and the crowd
was not disappointed. Sweeney put up
a fast game at slort and won applause
for himself by two difficult hot-shot
stops. Schrlver caught well behind
the bat, but of his three throws to sec
ond two were wild and were probably
caused by nervousness. The other two
steals are credited for attempts In
which the runners were assisted by the
Jaatsmen and in which Schrlver had no
opportunity to throw.
' When the big new catcher first came
to bat he was presented at the plate
with a handsome bouquet tied with a
light blue silk ribbon. Meaney was the
bearer of the token and Schrlver, after
,l(ftlng his cap In acknowledgment. Im
mediately proceeded to get to first by
four balls, the crowd meanwhile expect
ing to see the leather knocked over thel
new Linden Street bridge. .
How the Runs Were Made.
' Toronto was first at bat and In the '
second earned a run by a single and
double. In the third the visitors ran
In two more on a force hit. Ward's er
ror,' a single and an error by Smith.
Scranton tied the score In the third
on two bases on balls to Smith and
Ward, Eagan's single, which scored
Smith, followed by Casey's fumble,
' 'which' permitted Eagan to reach second
and Bannon's single, which pushed
Ward and Eagan home.
Scranton got a lead of ore run In the
fourth on a base on balls to Sweeney,
Luby's sacrifice and Jud Smith's error.
Toronto In the fifth got a lead of two
runs by making three tallies. Lake
drew, four -wide ones and went to sec
ond on' Demont's single to right field.
The bases were filled on Sweeney's er
ror of Shlmmlck's hot bounder; Casey
forced Lake at the plate on Stearns
assist. A wild pitch let Demont In and
Shlmmlck and Oasey scored on Schrl
ver t. failure to alop, Eagan's jthrow
after Gray flew out to left field. - :J
. in -the sixth Stearns was walked, to
first rid .scored- on singles by -Meaney
,and Smith, and In the seventh Inning;
flcranton got a lead of two ' runs.

BUFFALO LOST.
Pitcher Keenan's Work Balanced the
. Flvo Wllkes-Barro F.rrors.
Wllkes-Barre. Pa., Aug. 7. Wilkes
Barre won from Buffalo today by
bunching their hits at critical stages,
while the fielding errors of the home
qlub gave the visitors all, of their runs
along with a couple of bases on balls.
Keenan had the Bisons completely at
his mercy, and numerous hits credited
them came after ohances to retire the
side; besides, three of the hits were of
the scratch order. The outfield work
of 'Bottenus, Shearon and Griffin were
the features, while Earl, executed a
brilliant play that was a. wonder, and
saved a run against the home club.
Bonner put up a good game at second.
Gaffney fined seven of the Buffalo
players for singing from the bench af

Harper Against llodson.
Providence, R. I., Aug. 7. Rochester
outplayed Providence, today and won in
a close and well played game. Har
per's pitching was an enigma to the
Champions', and with 'splendid fielding
support he was able to shut them out
when hits were needed. Hodson
pitched well for the some team, but
thelRochesters were more successful In
batting when they had men on bases In
the latter part of the game. Strieker's
error in the fifth Inning, when the home
team was leading by three runs, gave
the Rochesters a chance that they made
the most of, and they worked In a
couple of runs by batting that was
done after the side might have been re
tired. ' Score:

JIM corbe'tt coming.
Will Play with Scranton Monday Against
the Bnffnlos.
JlmCorbett, champion heavyweight
pugilist of the world, will play with
Scranton In Monday's game against
Buffalo. In order to make the contest
conform to National agreement rules
Corbett will be signed previous to the
game, and afterward will, of course, get
his release.
The champion will be accompanied by
his brother Joe, who may also play.
What position James J. will fill has not
been made known, but It Is announced
that he will cover first base or
play In right field. At 3.30 o'clock,
a half hour before .the game Is
called, he will give an exhibition of
bag punching. His apparatus will be
located just back of the plate, where
the performance can be plainly seen
from the grand stand and bleachers.
The regular- admission prices will pre
vail. Of course It will be understood that
the arrangement is made for the pur
pose, of adding to the coffers of the,
Scranton association, and while the
large sum of 1200 Is guaranteed to Cor
bett, the amount will bo more than bal
anced by the largo crowd who will go
to see the famous pugilist.
Conbett Is really a fairly good ball
player, but his brother Is fast enough
for minor leagues, amd would now be
playing as a professional but for the
.champion's desire to keep Joe with him.
Helios Play Ball.
The Scranton base ball cranks have been
longing for the defeat of the Wllkes
Barre base ball club by the Scranton nine.
This long-looked for event has not yet
transpired, but revenge has come from an
other source. The Scranton telephone
wine yestordny overwhelmingly defeated
the Helios from Wllkes-Barre by a score
of 18 to 8.
DIAMOND DUST.
Sweeney will do.
Toronto again today.
Much obliged to Wllkes-Barre. ' '
Out of Scranton's .last thirteen games
ten have been victories.
Scranton has won seven out of nine
games played with Toronto.
Charley Lutenberg. the big first baseman
of the Torontos, Is flurslng a broken nose.
It was a sockdolager he got with a ball In
one of the Providence games.
Pitcher Wadsworth. who was released
by Louisville at the beginning of the sea
son, has proved himself a big card for the
BulTalo club. He Is winning nearly all his
games.
The Giants will be renamed the Midgets
if they continue to get small men. "Tot"
Murphy, "Shorty" Fuller and Frank But
ler are In that' class, and new men being
talked of for the team are all little fel
lows. Marty Hogan, the Indianapolis out
fielder, Is the best sprinter In the profes
sional base balll ranks. t At Milwaukee a
few days ago he did' 100 yards In 10 4-0
seconds In base call uniform, and with
heavy shoes.
"Everything comes to him who watts,
Is a saying of which Dan Stearns Is being
forcibly .reminded. 'Dan . has slumped In
his hitting and feels It keenly, but he Isn't
the first good sttcker to get off his feed
and His admirers are dally expecting to
see him find the ball again.
Pitcher Billy Wlttrock Is making more
shifts this season, than ever,, and he has
always been Something of a shuttlecock.
After his trial 1n the big league early In
the spring he went to Indianapolis, then
to Toronto, and is now with Providence,
and stands a fralr chance of going with
still another club before the' season ends
unless he gets a move on himself.. . -.
Luby retired from the game at hit own
request. He was justly angered at the
barnyard vocabulary of two grand stand
spectators whose bearing and language
was nuyeakited for a dog flghtlhan for
the manly, American game. Spectators
who .pay their admission, are entitled to
make comment, but When their words are
on a level with low-down, brutal coarse
ness all respectable persons unite In wish
Ing tor the o tilers', room rather than .their
company, fleet -
A committee of the dlsllnguisned dlssat
Isned . "waited upon" director M the
club yeeterday'and urged him to -use hts
influence In having Rogers release re
called. They wanted Rogers to be played
on first base end argued that be would
strengthen tbe'rluB. tub- Dest wy to
strengthen the club Is to permit the man
agement to do as it pleases. If the man
agement is considered bad, which It. Is
not, interference would not help; If it is
good let It alone let K alone, anyhow.

RACING AT BUFFALO.
Attendance Was Larger Thsn Ever on a
First Day.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 7. Though no
open, betting was permitted at the
Grand Circuit meeting today, the open
ing was a success . in . every par
ticular. The attendance was the larg
est ever seen at Buffalo park on the
first day of any meeting, and save the
crowds at Red Oak, la., last June, the
crowd was larger than any that has
attended any of the trotting meetings
held on the big line this year. A heavy
wind was blowing against the horses
coming; up the home stretdh. and under
these circumstances the track was two
and one-half to three seconds slow.
The hand book system .of betting was
a novelty to the local regulars, and for
the first two heats they fought shy of
the game. But later on confidence was
gained and speculation (became very
brisk. Today's- card was that which
was scheduled for yesterday and only
one of the races was finished. Sum

INTERRUPTED THE WITNESSES.
Some time since In southwest Georgia, a
murder csso was being tried before a cer
tain judge. The state's attorneys had
seen tho shooting and they had an old
negro on the witness stand. Tho negro
became Intensely Interested in the story
h was telling. His big eyes were fixed
upon the lawyer who was questioning him
and ho seemed to think there was no other
person In the roorn,, H was trembling
with excitement so much that he stam
mered and he told his etory as if he was
having a strictly private and confidential
conversation with the state's attorney.
"An' den, boss," he said In solemn and
awe-struck tones. "'J-J-less' es I was a
comin' roun' de cornah, eah, I seen him
'long o' de tamp pes'. I
"What tim was this?" asked the Judge.
The witness paused Just for a second as
if something had disturbed him; but then
without turning Ms head he went on:
"J-J-Jes' s . I .war a -com In' roun'. de
cornah, boss, I seen him 'long o' de lamp
DOS . I '
The judge rapped the desk before him
smartly with his gavel.
"Stop!" he said. "The court is asking
you a question. At what time did you
come around the corner.
Again the witness stopped and made
motion with his hands as if he were brush
ing away a fly from his ear, but he never
turned around,, and again started to tell
his story:
"Es I wus a-sayln', boss, I rounded dat
dan cornah, an I seen him 'long o' de
The Judge brought his mallet down with
a noise which almost caused the witness
to lean off the stand, and roared out:
"What do you- mean, sir. If you do not
answer my question Instantly I shall
commit your'..-
The witness turned, faced the court, and
said in deprecating tones:

BALLOONS IN WARFARE. 1
From Information.
The series of experiments with war bal
loons, begun some time ago by the military
authorities of Germany, has now resulted
In the Invention of a kite-shaped balloon
which promises to be more serviceable In
warfare than an other form of balloon
previously devised. It Is In the form of an
elongated cylinder, with the car suspended
at the end, Instead of from the centre. At
the same end, for additional buoyancy, are
two smaller spherical i balloons, one on
either side of the Cylinder. This arrange
ment gives the balloon-greater stability
against the wlhd and readers it more
obedient to the rudder, a sail attached to
the end oWhe cai-' " ' ' " ' ; ' v
