THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1893.
Latest
BflSE-BflLL.
Providence and Springfield excepted,
the Scranton club ha during the! past
two week made the most meritorious
showing: of any of the Eastern league
clubs and thereby hang? a 'tale. Al
most any civilised community would
applaud and support any old kind of
n)B aggregation of ball tossers who
qould win 75 per rent, of games played,
Jbut, although the Scranton club has

cited by an element which Is disgruntled
because two players for which It had
a personal friendship were released.
Profanity and cat-rails hurled at Its
players and management la something
new In Scranton, but these have fea
tured the games of the past week, dur
ing which the mistakes of the home
players have been Jeered at. while every
mall advantage of visiting clubs have
railed forth applause and encourage
ment. This strange sentiment was
given birth when Delaney was released
to Syracuse and culminated on Monday
when Rogers was dismissed. Its ef
fect was seen In Wednesday's game
when Luby. disgruntled with the abuse
heaped upon him by some of the spi-c-tators.
refused to pitch after the fifth
Inning and Meaney went In and helped
win the game out. This Incident mere
ly shows what the Delaney-Rogers
misguided and disgruntled element Is
doing to kill the game In this city. It

Snpalctnir of Delanev and Roarers suir-
sts the question of what small rignt
the Scranton club. The Syracuse
papers were clamoring to nave uui
going where Delaney did, or to
Rochester, where good money is wait
ing for a good catcher. This paper
ha no differences, personal or other
wise, with Rogers, who Is gentlemanly,
conscientious and a food player, 'but
we are antagonistic to the blasphemous
Jeering element that has taken up
cudgels in his behalf, and this state
ment voices the Bentlment of the better
element of base ball patrons. No ob
jection can be made to a decent, manly
and Intelligent disapproval of Manager
Barnle or his players, but there is a
decided objection to the past week's
brutal and profane Jeering which. If
allowed to go unchecked, would bring
the healthful, helpful American game
down to the level of those who wallow
In Us misfortunes.
The truth of the foregoing was proven
yesterday, when two Incidents testified
to the result of the d'scouragement of
fered the pluyers and their manager.
Whether Luby did or did not throw the
game Is aa Jmmaterial matter, but it
la plainly apparent that the threatened
severe trouble was caused by the distinguished-dissatisfied.
Conversation with the players does
not Indicate that there Is tha slightest
trouble between them and Barnle. The
latter has only human agencies at his
command, and It Is to his credit that
under such circumstances he can so
well control his men. They are athletic
fellows and full of life and spirit, and
cannot submit to being slapped in the
face, figuratively speaking, by an audi
ence for whose benefit they are doing
their level best. If a dog is kicked he
will sometimes turn and a ball player
will do the same.
Manager Jack Chapman, of the Tor
onto club, denies emphatically that
there has been any Idea of transferring
mor started from the possibility
of transferring the home games of
the week of Sept. 2, when
begins the fair in Toronto. He
believes that his city Is, ex
cepting Buffalo and Rochester, more
capable of supporting say a fourth, fifth
or sixth position club than any city In
the league. When one considers what
might happen to Wllkes-Barre, Scran
ton, Springfield or Providence with a
tallend club, the Toronto manager's
statement seems to contain more truth
than fiction.
Scran ton' gain during the week Is
best Indicated in the following table,
which shows that the most meritorious
showing since last Friday has been
made by Scranton, with WHkes-Barre
second, Springfield third and Toronto
fourth, i Syracuse, Buffalo, Rochester
and Providence wre the losers, the
most unfavorable showing being In the
order named.

Mayor Connell was a grand stand spec

There was very little barnyard language
yesterday, thanks to the police.
Regular police are a success. They be

nick of time.
Scranton can occasionally play an er
rorless game. And yet the brutal elite
will root for the enemy.
No club baa made a greater gain In per
centage during the last week than Scran
ton and yet there Is kicking.
Meaney will be In the box, which! con
sidered with ths fact that Buffalo Is due
to win, should promise a good game. -

Any team that undertakes to go to Eng

lose money. The ground is unlit for play

engrosses the attention of the multitudes.
Arthur Irwin has abandoned his pro

had a conference' yesterday with Mr.
Wright, of MUlilh-borouirh, Kngliuid, and
the latter assured Irwin that no team
could make money there unless It played
during the summer.
Luby' suspension leaves a vacancy In
the pitching end of the team. Dean, the
Young Men's Christian association twlrler,
or a young New Yorker now visiting in
this city, may be taken on the coming trip.
The hitter is known, only to Manager
Barnle and a well-known reputable person
who vouched for the unknown's ability.
"Play the game" Is the remark of Smith
which caused Tommy Hanuon to lose his
temper. These words are heard from
pluyers In nearly every game played and
offered Hanuon no excuse for his out
burst. It Is due llnnnun, however, to say
that he regrets tho occurrence. He and
Smith ure friendly and each understands
the other's position In the matter.

Spectators Thought Pitcher l.uby Was
Throwing tho Game PYesonco of a
Squad of Rogular Policemen Prevented
Serious Trouble
A small sized riot was for several
minutes threatened at the Base Ball
park yesterday afternoon and was pre
vented only by the presence of a squad
of regular policemen.
Pitcher Luby, who was disgusted
with the roastlngs he received during
the game of Wednesday, Was guyed dur
ing yesterday's contest and was round
ly hissed when in the eighth Inning he
stood at the plate with his bat on his
shoulder and permitted three strikes to
be called on him. He had been pitch
ing poorly and assisted Toronto by
pitching errors and easy balls to score
all of their eight runs. When he so de
liberately allowed three strikes to be
called on him the spectators decided
that he had thrown the game and hissed
him roundly. He bolted through t'he
gate and was making tracks up the
steps of the grand stand with the evi
dent Intention of annihilating a man
he had spotted, when two policemen
stopped him.
Police Hustled Him Away.
The crowd made as If to rush down
the step9 and do the Irate pitcher bodily
harm, but the policeman hustled him
Into the dressing. room, where he was
guarded until after the game. Meaney
pitched the last Inning.
A sufficient number of the directors
were present to take Immediate action
upon the case, with the result that Luby
was forthwith suspended and fined all
the back pay ue him The suspension
Is practically a blacklisting, which may
be continued until the club sees fit to
raise its severe penalty. : .
Last night Luby told a Tribune re
porter that h'e consented to pitch the
game only because It had been reported
that he had trouble with IManager I3arr
nle and he wished to do what he could
to dispel the report. When told that
many thought he had purposely
thrown the game he denied It em
phatically, and;sald he had pitched to
the best of his ability, but . was so
rattled by the Jeerlngs of the crowd
when be went to bat that he cared not
whether he struck at tho ball or not.
liannon Adds to tho Kxcltomont.
There was another excltlng episode
In Scranton' last time at bat which
was the last of the game. Eagan had
hit safely and Hannorl rame to the
plate. cAfter fouling out to Jud Smith,
after bitting what would have been a
called ball, Alec Smith called out from
the bench some remark of disapproba
tion. This so angered Bannon that he
began a loud tongue-lashing for his
fellow-player, which was continued un
til the bench wasreached.
Bannon payed no attention to Mana
ger Barnlc'a order for hrlm to keep si
lent, whereupon Barnle fined him $10.
"I don't eare lf you make It $25 yon
can linn all I've got coming If you want
to" was the reply. This resulted In
Bannon being ordered to the dressing
room, where Manager. Barnle followed
him.1 An unfounded report that player
and manager -had come to blows In the
dressing room served to Create further
disorder In the grandstand.
: Toronto Trlod a Sow Pitoher. .
According to the announcement
made In this column, Toronto had a trial
pitcher,: Brennemer, in the box. ' Only"
In the first and eighth Innings did he
prevent more' than three flftranton bats
men from fading him, 'but'' the -home
club's bit were conspicuously absent
when men were on basis or the ball
th? Wholg
was sent Into some outfielder's, hand.
He showed himself to be a fair twlrler,
but If Luby's pitching, intentional or
not. had not been so unfortunate,
Scranton should have wou.

EARNED HIS RELEASE.
Fournler, of ths Buffaloes, Was Easy for
Wilkas-Uarra.
Wllkes-Barre, Pa., Aug. 9. Coakley,
in hi pitching against Buffalo today,
was absolutely Invincible, and the
Bisons should have been shut out. In
the eighth Inning Wise hit a long fly
to flrlflln and the dark clouds rendered
It difficult to Judge the ball and It went
over Griffin's head, giving Wise a
ttipple. Bowse then singled, scoring
Wise. The next two went out; Four
nler's short double scored Dowse, who
advanced on the two outs; 'Bottenus
flew out to Griffin.
Coakley struck out Drauby and Cly
m?r In one Inning, and his speed was
wonderful. Fournler was batted all
over the lot, and thirteen out of the
fifteen iruns were earned, Lewee's
work was clean at short, while Mc
Mahon also put up a brilliant game.
Fournler and Wadsworth were re
leased tonight and George Meekln, late
of Wllkes-Barre, who claims to 'have
regained his arm, reports to Manager
Morton, at Scranton, tomorrow.

held down the visitors In fine style, al
lowing them but seven hits and these
were scattered. The fielding of both
teams was better than their base run

President Power Say It Will Be tho
Same as Now,
Amsterdam, N. Y., Aug. 9. President
Charles Powers, of the Eastern base
ball league, writes to an Amsterdam
friend today concerning a report about
changes In next season's circuit. He
says the report Is false, and that the
circuit next season will consist of but
eight clubs, and that they will repre
sent the same cities as at present.
The above dlcpatch probably -comes
from a letter sent to Dr. Peters, of
Amsterdam, one of. the managers of
the defunct New Tork State league, and
who was seeking admission to the 1896
Eastern league.
GENERAL SPORTS.
JUDGE AND AN UNKNOWN.
Will Box Four Rounds at Mountain Psrk
Today-Scranton Athletic cinb Will
Forfeit $100 If the Unknown Is Not
Stopped.
The excursion of the Scranton Ath
letic club to Mountain Park today will
be one of the biggest events of the sea
son at that popular resort In the
Wllkes-Barre mountain. What will
attract no less than thousands from up
and down Mie valley Is the fact that
Champion James Judge will box four
rounds with an unknown from Nantl
enke, and proposes to stop rhe gentle
man from the region of mine disasters
In that time or else forfeit $100.
, The club Is willing to give $100 to any
light weight in northern Pennsylvania
whom Judge cannot best In four
rounds on any date. He Is a fullfiedged
member and will wear the lilac, the
colors of the club. In all engagements
hereafter. Who the Nantlcoke man Is
could not be found out, but the cham
pion assures his friends that the un
known will bite the dust. The rounds
will be three minutes each, a minute
rest. Tho referee, 'timekeepers and
handlers will be selected on the
grounds, the handlers of each man will
be picked out by the opposite prin
cipal, but they must be competent..
A fine Athletic exhibition will be
given, which, In Itself, will be worth
the price off admission. The members
have thoroughly advertised the excur
sion. On Thursday night every man
of them was out attired In flowing
linen duster and white high hat. The
parade, beaded by the Germanla band,
traversed the principal streets of the
South Side - and central city. Last
night, with the same band, they had a
"trolley party" in two Illuminated oar.
The bout between Champion Judge and
the unknown will come off about 3
o'clock this afternoon.

GEE WHU-A TRAGEDY.
As gently fell the evening dew.
Along the asphalt pavement flew
1
A lady, young and fair to view
With her "Chawls" on a bicycle built for
two.
Gee whist
Her brow was cold as the chiseled stone,
While her eyes "like sparkling dlumonds"
shone.
At each turn of the wheel her bell ahe'd
ring,
Tlng-a-llng-a-llng- a -ling allng-ling-llng-ling.
Gee whls!
Her consort was a downy youth,
Active he was, to tell the truth;
He worked his legs like a lively flea
Or a bob-tailed monkey climbing a tree.
Gee whist
"Fly not so fast!" his dudeship said,
"There's an open manhole Just ahead!
The scented sewer Is deep and wide!"
But she gracefully curved to the other
side.
Gee whls!
"Oh, stay!" said his dudeshlp, "and let
me reat
My mellow head on your bloomer breast;"
With a glance like a cold sharp Icicle,
She said: "Who Is running this bicycle?"
Gee whiz!
"Beware the trolley's sudden start!
Beware the balky horse an J cart!"
This was her consort's admonition.
But she went like aatan to perdition,
Gee whls!
On, on! they went through the crowded
street ;
"999" was not so fleet;
But they spilled while crossing a railroad
track '
And her bloomers were ripped clean up the
back.
' Gee whls!
I stood for a moment in fiendish glee
And gazed on that awful calamity.
"What was done, what to do," I knew at
a glance, .
'Twas another Job for the ambulance.
Gee whls!
M J. Queerfellow in Buffalo News.
