It Was Seranton's Oarao t'ntll the Ninth, When Eagan Failed to Aeeept a Chance to Retire the Side Wilkes-Barrc Stopped Hitting After Getting a Lead of Sis Kerns. Scranton again bowed to the Inevi table hoodoo and suffered another de feat toy W'llkes-Barre. which makes nine games lost out of eleven played with that club. By all the rules of equity, justice, luck or good playing Scranton ehould have won yesterday's game, and did have. It won, for that matter, until. In the ninth Inning when, with two out and an unaccepted chance offered to Tetlre the side, 'the hoodoo circled over the field. Before the thing had flown away Wilkes-Barre batted in seven runs and prevented Scranton from scoring In its half. Until that time Scranton led by one run in as pretty a game as one could reasonably wish to see. When the ngony of that frightful bombardment in the ninth was ended, the mind of every doubter must have admitted that something 'besides good and bad ball playing permitted Wilkes Barre ito win. Excepting one passed . ball Miller, the new pitcher, had twirled a better game 'than Keenan. and when the ninth opened and Lesotte Hew out to Meaney many in the audience rtarted toward the gate. Sera n ton's victory seemed doubly assured when, after safe single. Griffin was forced at second by Earl. With two out Wente popped a fungo hit back of third base, which Eagen preferred to. stop on a bound rather than take a desperate chance to catch it. This one missed opportunity cost Scranton the game, because McMahon drew a base on 'balls and Smith, the next one up, pushed a line single into right field, scoring Earl and Wente and giving Wilkes-Barre a lead of one run. The Fatal Ninth. Smith's hit was one of the hoodoo features referred to. He has not hit a ball for forty years, but -the hoodoo started Us dire work and Smith's Vicious swipe connected with the leath er, and away it went. It's a safe bet that Smith had his eyes shut when he wung. The last four runs In the Inning were made on Keenan's triple. Lytle'a triple. Bonner's double and a single by Lexotte. Griffin, the last one up, flew out to Eagan. A total of eleven alli gators faced 'Miller in that one inning. The Scranton cranks breathed for a minute following Stearns' two-bagger In the Scranton half, but Miller struck out and Ward and Eagan were thrown oat at first. When the game began less than a thousand persons had run the risk of seeing the hoodoo get In its fine work, but before the contest was ended possi bly 200 more of the faithful had sneaked . into the grounds. Each wore the look characteristic of the ordinary Scran ton crank at a game with Wilkes-Barre, a scrt of uneasy expression indicating fear of a slap In the face or injury to a pet corn. They sat on tacks for eight Innings and when. In the ninth, the game switched around everybody said to everybody else: "I told you so." Then all hands smiled a yellow smile and out of spite sat the thing out, ex cepting the more tenderhearted who did not wait Jo see the slaughter. It Was really a fine, spirited, gingery game, in which Ward, of the Infield, and Butler, of the out-gardeners, ex celled for Scranton, and Bonner did . that same for his brother alligators, Stearns, with two two-baggers; Lytle, .with two doubles, led the punching. It was unfortunate that Umpire Timothy Seaside Hurst was called upon to place everybody on more close de cisions than one could shake a stick at. He did his best and while Scranton In several Instances seemed to get the short end of it, the samo thing hap pened to the Alligators. The worst that ran i be said against the umpire Is that he vas as satisfactory as any human agency could be. -'The Grand Opening. Wilkes-Barre opened the sitting with Jt smart hit to left for two bases. Bon ner walked and each came in on a ingle by Griffin. Scranton was blanked and the earns medicine was given ,the Alllgatprs through a double play . ty Bannon; Ward and Stearns in the second. In the last of the second Scran ton gained a lead of on run by scor ing three times. Bannon pushed one to right and came In on Schrlver's two bagger.

A double by Bonner and Lexotte'e single tied the score in the first of the third, but Scranton got the lead buck by tichrlver'a single, Huston's bunt, Kn (tail's sacrifice and Steam's flyout to Iezotte. The lead was Increased one In the firth on Ward's single and l.ytle's error wnh.-h permitted Ward to reach second, iKaran' fly out to I.ezotte and 'Meauey's single. The Alligators cut down the lead In the seventh on Banuon's miss of Bonner's grounder which permitted the runner to reach third, he scoring on Griffin's out to Eagan. The Waterloo In the ninth has already been explained. Score: SCRANTON A.B. R. II. O. A. IS. Ward. 2b Kukuii, If G Meaney. rf., Hiinuon. . Schrlver, e Huston, 3b.,.. Butler, cf Stearns, lu..

Mass., Aug. 14. The first of the series between fdprlngfleld and Providence was a tremendously excit ing contest, and Springfield lost the 4me In' the ninth inning on singles by Knight, Rogers and Cooney, which scored two runs. The game was re markable for its dirty work, Bassett tripping three men at third. Bassett came near (breaking up in a squabble and Springfield played it tinder pro test. The runs which Springfield scored In the eighth caused great excltment ar.d a crowd of spectators rushed out on the diamond. With three men on basts Gruber had ihlt safely. The throw-in from the field went by Mc Auley. who was blocked. Hodson had on a uniform which looked like that of Springfield, and when McAuley threw into the plate he could not distinguish him from several of the Springfield men w.ho stood around the plate. Provi dence claimed that the Springfield men blocked, but Doescher decided that the runs counted.

Massey, of the Carbondales, Is 111 from malarial fever, Scranton, with the best team on tho face of the earth, couldn't beat the Alligators. Scranton will soon be known as the New York Juniors. We now have Bannon, But ler and Schrlver, and each la a really-truly good plu er. Wilkes-Barre here today and tomorrow; then Scranton goes to Wilkes-Barre for thi-ee gutties, aud will be away from home until Sept. 10. Dan Shannon never misses a point In tho gume; he's every Inch a player, and even coached Keenan when the latter was at bat In the lust Inning. llughey Jennings has made over 100 runs for the Orioles so far this season. Joe Kelley and Billy Keeler, of the sume team, have made more than ninety each. Carbondale will give a trial to rluan. pitcher for the Scranton Young Men's ,Chrlstlan . assoelatlon, and Flnnerty, catcher for the Dunmore Morning Glories. Touching on the umpire troubles In the National leotiue, O. P, Caylor.suys In the New York Herald nobody but President Young is to be blamed for the condition of affairs. He also advocates that Tim Hurst and Charley Snyder, of the Eastern league, lit secured. To this suggestion all true friends of the game will register their de cided affirmatives. Washington Post. No "true friend of the gume" will ever wish to see Non Com pus Mentis Snyder wear an umpire's musk aguln. If he Is too In competent for the Kustemv he Is too in competent for any league. As for Hurst, ho knows where his abllty Is best appre ciated and will stay where he Is. J'm Corbett, the pugilist,' has been "signed" to pluy first base for Scranton against Buffalo in today's game, and will give a bug punching exhibition in front of the grand stanil before the game. This Is going a little, too far in hlppodromlng the game. There are enough objectionable features in base ball without ringing In prise-fighters to draw a crowd. Any such "feature" as Corbett would dis gust the high class of patronage which Springfield is supported by. Springfield Union. Scranton won the game and Cor bett and his brother played well. What the public thought of tt was best shown in the large attendance, which Included a larger percentage of resectable women than ever before attended a bull game In Scranton. It was Corbett the ball pleyer and not a prize-fighter that the public suw. Whatever may the opinion of the Spring field Union oracle or whatever may be the customs of his somnolent town, Scranton reserves the right to do as It pleases, pro vided no objection comes from the club Immediately concerned, as was Buffalo and not 8prlngfleld. The Implication con tained In the statement that the "Corbett featurs would disgust the high class pat ronage which supports 6printleld" comes with mighty poor grace when Springfield is largely supported by the other clubs In the league. Scranton Is doing fairly well with a sixth position club, and Springfield Isn't doing much better with a winner. If It were In ficrantotv'l place It might need something worse -than the stimulus of a "disgusting" Corbett feature. Stop chewing, Mr. Oracle, and play ball. Amateur Ball Notes.

NO FAITH IN DEFENDER. Prominent Yachtsmen Believe That the Cap Is In Banter. New Itochelle, N, Y., Aug. 14. The Defender took a short spin up the sound this morning, but as the wind was very light and a dead calm threat ened, returning to her , moorings off Premium Point at about 12.15 o'clock, . Despite all the high praise showered on the new cup defender It cannot be concealed that the members of the syn dicate are a trifle worried. A promi nent yachtsman, speaking of the chances of the Defender against the Valkyrie today, said: In spite of the alleged satisfaction felt by the home syndicate over the per formances of the Defender, It Is never theless a fact that the ynciht has not fulfilled their expectations. Many yachtsmen In this neighborhood who have watched the Defender also express the opinion that If the Valkyrie Is as good as ' represented - the cup Is In danger. HINTS FOR CAMPERS.

ALMOST A WALKOYER. rote Wins from Fantasy In Very Hollow Fsshlon. Buffalo, Aug. 14. This was Ladles' Day at the Grand Circuit races, so Mr. Hamlin tilled his grand stand, if he did not All his. cash box. The advertised event, which attracted all attention, was the match race be tween Azote and Fantasy. Most horse men exipected that Mr. Hamlin would not let Fantasy race on account of her bad foot, due to the accident at Cleve land. When she did come on the track the odds were nil against her. Geers drove Fantasy and McDowell drove Azoto. The track was in superb con dition. The start was .bad, Fantasy lagging half a length behind Azote. Geers let the mare out ami at the quarter she was head and head with Axote, but in the next quarter of a mile she dropped back again, content to stick at Asote's flank. McDowell -was driving In ex hibition style. Geers drove Fantasy out again and put her beside Azote at the three-quarter pole, but when Azote began moving In the stretch the mare could not keep the pace and fir" ' two lengths behind Aote, whose, Me was 2.0914. The second heat was trotted In much the same vay. To please the grand stand McDowell held Azote In and let Fantasy trot besldd her. When he came into the stretoh he swung wide out into the track, giving Fantasy the pole and drove home a length and a half ahead in 2.12. Azote will be taken to Chicago to race Beuzetta If arrangements can be made.
