BASE BALL.
Tommy Bannon wai yesterday sus
pended by Manager Barnle for abusive
conduct and Insubordination, and
When the circumstances of the case are
known Bannon'a popularity will not
nivt him from unfavorable comment.
Testerday morning on Penn avenue he
was handed hla aeml-monthly pay
check leas the fine of $10 Imposed 4y
Manager Barnle for Bannon'a loss of
temper tn the turbulent (tame of last
week Friday. When Kannoa glanced
at the amount of the check he accused
the manager of partiality and abused
him, whereupon the player was Imme
diately given notice of hl suspension.
Although he Is only loaned by the New
Yorks the suspension will hold good
unless the loan Is recalled by President
Freedman. but It Is not probable that
thla will be done. In such an event
the Near Vcrk club would have to pay
Bannon his salary.
.
The clubs to make the greatest per
centage gains during the week were
Toronto, Scranton. Springfield and
Syracuse In the order named, while the
biggest percentage losses fell upon
Providence, Rochester, Wllkes-Hurre
and Buffalo as named. The following

DIAMOND DUST:
Scranton at Wllkes-Barre today.
Miller and Keenan will be the opopos
lng pitchers.
Washington Is after iHIll, of the Har
risburg club.
'Meaney and Eagan have yet to make
their first kick.
Meaney failed to get a hrt, but he
tent the ball to the outfield twice.
Rusle Is being hit tremendously hard.
A don't care feeling has probably set
tled on bis curves.
Joe Cottett, the pugilist's brother,
will b given ft trial In the infield by
the Washington management.
Excepting Miller, Stearns. Johnson
and Ward, tihe club Is composed of re
leased or farmed New York players and
State leaguers.
President Bogert, of the WMkes-
Barre club, wanted two games played
today. With only three pitchers on
the club? Nay, nay. 1
Johnson, the pitcher, engaged In a
street row last night end carries a
lump on his head and a discoloration
beneath one eye In evidence of the
event.
Sweeney will not be put back at
short as long as Stearns can field as
well as .750 per cent. And three out of
four chances is pretty good for an
emergency shortstop.
Aleck Smith continues to bat In hard
luck. He popped two up for Earl,
reached first on an error and hit out
two high ones that forced Griffin to get
back within a few feet of the fence.
Meaney 4s cut ovt for a ball player,
rid will yet be heard from In the big
league. As a 'batter, base runner,
fielder and pitcher he Is away above
the average. Wllkes-Barre Kecord.
"Give him a slow one," said Shannon
to Betts while Schrlver was at rot In
the eighth. Belts did so and Schrlver
mashed It for two bases. There were
two out and Butler flew out to Lezotte.
On account of the trouble at Spring
field, Umpire Doe.icher8 assignment
for Providence has been cancelled and
he has been ordered to Wllkes-Barre
for the series with Scranton. Hurst
, goes to Providence.
President Betts. of the Soranton club,
refuse, to raise the Luby suspension.
Marty Swift was here yesterday and
argued In vain; he wants Luby for
Carbondale. Manager Barnle was
neutral in the matter.
It was the first series Soranton has
won from Wllkes-Darre. Of the series
among the other clubs Syracuse won
two out of three from Buffalo, Toronto
won two out of three from Rochester,
and Springfield won two out of three
from Providence.
Ward and Johnson only are left of
the original 1895 team. And It 4s a po
tent fact that of the many released
players none have since played, suc
cessfully, excentlne Bradv a ml nosslliiv
Delaney, who has yet to prove that lie
la valuable to Syracuse.
Following Eagan's mistake In not
running for the fly which W caught
-would have won for Scranton Wednes
day's game. Pete was given a fatherly
talk by Manager Barnle. The effect
was shown yesterday. (Pete was as
lively as a hen with a 'brood of chick
ens and made two "goodness gracious"
catches.
Here's how the Wllkef-Barre News
Deader explain tt: "Ch-airlea Hlmth
unknowingly tripped up 'Eagan while
fce was) running In from third and was
jeered and hissed for the play, al
though Smith Intended ttothrrwr In
the Mn of dirty trail playing, as toe
was running down the tine to cover the
,.- plate."
Bays the WHkes-Barre Rpcord: "Char
ley Smith In the seventh Innliur .kM
running to cover the plate, happened
to Interfere with a tase runner unwlt-
. tlngly ami was severely criticized and
hissed. Ha was unaware that Eagan
was coming In, and assuredly did not
deaerve the censure he received, at-
- though 1t may have appeared aa though
he Intended to trip Eagan."

Betts. tho Wilkcs-llarro I'hcnom, Had No
Terrors for the Scrontons -Johnson
Kept the Enemy's lilts Well Seattercd.
If there had been any doubt of the
decline of Betts as a pitcher, the doubt
was dispelled in thr-e Innings yester
day, during which Scranton punched
him for ten hits, six of which were
sizzling two-baggers, the whole netting
nine runs, six being earned. For Scran
ton Johnson twirled one of his good
games; Ihe was steady as an old-fashioned
clock, and kopt the enemy's hits
well scattered.
After the bombardment of the first
three Innings there was never any
doUbt as to the result and Scranton's
clean fielding was all the more mer
itorious because of the fact that Smith
covered first In place of Stearns, who
waa sent to short, Tommy Itannon
hiving been suspended for insubordina
tion. Smlt'h would have been played at
short ibut for his disposition to throw
the ball over the moon, and the wisdom
of the final arrangement was shown in
the work of the men. Stearns was
frisky as a colt and omt of four chances
missed one that wa9 difficult.
Ilctts Pulls Himself Together.
After being made a monkey 1n the
early part uf the game Betts ipulled
hlmseVf together and allowed two hits
to Scihrlver only m the last five Innings.
In only the fifth, .however, were the
Sorantons put out one-two-threo; In
the other innings men "were left on
bases and the sides were retired on
flies to the outfield, except In the sixth,
when the last one up was thrown out
at first.
Schrlver caught a star game, while
Eagan fairly revelled In galloping over
left field territory, making three beauti
ful catches. 'Meaney also had two good
ones to his credit. 4rlfTln and Lezotte
carried off what little there was of
credit 1n the field nVay of the visitors.
Two errors by i.Mc.VIahon and one by
Bonner In the second Inning permitted
three of the four runs; otherwise,
Scranton earned Its victory. Dan
Stearns' one error did not cost any
runs, although It permitted the bases
to be filled and threatened a few cases
of heart disease.
Beginning or the Hitting.
Ward. In the first Inning, began a
familiarity with the Brownie pitcher
by pushing one to right for two bases
and scoring on a double by Eagan.
The next three up were put out by Earl.
Heranton's four in the second were
made on (Huston's single, Butler's
sacrifice. Steams', double. MeMaihon's
ermr, Eagan's single, another error by
McMnhon and one by Honner.
In the third Huston's double, Butler's
single, Stearns' double, Johnson's sin
gle and Ward's double", all made con
secutively, earned Scranton four runs.
Wllkes-I)arre's first run was made In
the fourth on t,ezotte's triple and a
single by rlffln. Jn the ninth Wcnte
was h!t by & pitched ball and came In
on Betts home run hit that would have
been good for only two bases had the
ball not lost Itself In the grass along
the fence near the left foul line.

DIRTY PLAYING.
Plenty of Excitement in the Syracuse
Bnf falo Game.
Syracuse, N. Y Aug. 18. The Stan
pounded McOlnnla so hard that he waa
relieved In the seventh Inning by First
Baseman Field. Barnett was very
effective, aHowtar the Buffalo only six
trlts, four of which came In succession
in the third Inning.. Minnehan'a field
ing was a feature of the game. Kilroy
went into center field In place of Welch,
who had a finger hurt. There was a
dirty exhibition of playing on both
ides, and Clymer. came near being
ordered out of the game for refusing to
stand in the coacher's box. The visitors
had the lead In the third Inning and
played with ginger until 4 he Stars be

Safe at Second.
Springfield, Mass., Aug. 10. Umpire
Doescher declared the game between
Springfield and Providence today for
feited to Sprlnfleld by a score of 9 to 0
In the first inning.
Only three men had come to bat.
Shannon got a base on balls and Don
nelly made a single. Jonw hit safely
to Murray and was declared safe at
second on a close decision. Strieker
kicked and used such Insulting lan
guage to Doescher that the latter or
dered him off the field. Strieker would
not go, and after giving him about two
minutes, Doescher declared the game
forfeited.
Over 4,000 people were on the grounds
and to avoid losing the gate receipts
an exhibition game was; played, with
out notifying the crowd that ith gme
had been forfeited. Doescher refused to
umpire the exhibition' game, and
Oruber waa finally eelected. Innings:

Cleveland, Baltimore and Pittsburg,
the three leaders In the National league
scramble, won yesterday, while defeat
wag the poor fortune of Cincinnati,
Chicago and Boston, the three clubs
next In the racp. The position occu
pied by the Bnltlmores, practically
tie with Cleveland at the head of the
list. Is no surprise, and the latter club
had for several weeks been expected to
finish near the front. Boston and New
York, however, have been sore disap
pointments. Boston waa tipped to be
one of the three strongest clubs, and
New York, with Rusle ami Meekln back
In the game, was expected to eat up the
small fry, yet neither club ihas during
the past ten days takes the games that
Would have assured them a place In the
second division. Uoltlmore today Is the
only eastern club at the front, while
Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, New
York and Washington are below fifth
In the order named, the first two being
a tie In sixth place.

ANOTIIKH FAVORITE GOXE.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
The conductor leaned lazily against the
rail of the platform. Beside him aloud a
man wrapped In a deep reserve. In three
miles of travel the quiet man had not
spoken a word. He seemed aa one haunt
ed by a deadly fear. Whenever a woman
came his way ha shrank back nervously.
'I 'he car slowed up at the crossing and a
girl In. a pink shirt waist got down on to
the step and faced the rear platform. The
conductor danced up and down excitedly.
"Hey!" he yelled. "Don't step off back
wards. You ought to know better'n that."
The girl smiled pityingly, leaned well
forward, and stepped ofT. She caught her
weight handily on her free foot end
walked away without a stagger. The con
ductor settled back disgustedly against the
rail.
"There's Another of 'em," he said.
, "Another what?" asked the quiet man.
"New woman," said the conductor short
ly. "I find 'em once In a while. They
learn It from newsboys. If you know how,
you can get off a moving car Just as well
facing the rear as the front. Most women
don't know how, but the new woman has
caught on to It."
"Then you think that that hoary-headed
gag about the way that a woman gets off
a car has about run its course?" asked
the quiet man
"It's done for," shld the conductor. "The
now woman has got hold of It. and It will
have tn go, along with the Bible and the
rest of the Ides of the present."
The qulef man puffed thoughtfully at
his cigar. Then he cast nn apprehensive
glance about htm and leaned toward the
conductor.
"I know the new woman," he said In a
hoarse whisper, ' "from A to Iziard. She
It Is who has turned my raven locks to this
dull gray. She tt Is who has dimmed my
bright eye. and brought about this pre
mature baldness. And I tell you, on my
solemn oath, that the killing of that an
cient Jest Is the best thing tha she has
taken up the best thing that she will ever
accomplish."

SCIENCE AND THE FARMER.
From the Pittsburg Times.
Selenre rendered an Important service to
agriculture In the discovery of the bacilli
for Infecting chinch bugs. The discovery
was by a Kami man. The Kansas far
mer, like his brother In every other state,
waa slow to believe in It. His doubts held
him bark. Meanwhile the enemy to hit
crop was advancing-. Before It arrived in
force the wheat had been cut, and so an
attack was made upon the corn. The far
mer turned out to resist It, but the onlv
means or resistance he had were InefTec
tlve and costly. He resorted to tho infer.
tlon, and now believe In It. During the
last few months thousands of paekages
of it have been sent out to different parts
of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Each
consisted of Infected bugs, which when
liberated spread among the others, In-
reeling mem antt destroying them rapidly
In due time man will conquer all the In
sect enemies of his crops by means which
science will furnish, and when he does the
wiving will be Immense. Fanners in
many states could have paid off their
mortgages with what these peals have
rooueu inem or in a lew years.

John Glbons Is after the tax collec
tor with a sharp stick. At the poor
board meeting yesterday he questioned
the h'gullty of adding the tl.lH nenalty
to poor tag and asked the attorney of
the board. John F. Scragg, for an o'!n-
in on me matter, -to be submitted at
the next meeting.
Mr. Ulbbons expressed the opinion
that the tax was Illegal and at all
events the tax collector ehoukl not got
It. The poor board, the people say, has
boon a. party to this kind of robbery
long enough. If a poor man neglects,
or Is unable to pay a tax of 20 cents or
so, the collectors puts a penalty of 11.13
on this tax, 60 cents of which goes to
the collector. 40 cents to the deputy
colleotor, and cents to the alderman
and the other G cents goes for blanka,
etc. This, Mr. lbbons thought, en
couraged collectors not to push the col
lections until after the limit of time
has elapsed, In order that they may
put on the penalty. They also bulldoze
poor people by threatening to send
them to the county Jatl if they do not
pay the penalty.
Tho other member of the board did
not .take kindly to Mr. Ulbbons' views,
but, however, agreed to submit-the
mutter to the attorney of the board.
Caused a Lively Debate-
'A case which caused some acrimoni
ous debate between Mr. Gibbons on the
one side and 'Mr. Shotten and Mrs.
Swan on the other, was that of Will
lam Kitsegerald. an old pensioner of the
liritlfch government, who left the poor
farm five years ago owing to a falling
out with Superintendent G. W. Ileemcr
and who now seeks to be returned
there). iKItzgerald, when a former In
mate of the p'Mir farm, was In the
habit of coming 'to Scranton to spend
the mensley pittance of 12 a month
which the Ilrltlsh government allows
him for having been wounded while In
the service of her gracious majesty.
On one of these occasions, while In his
cups, he made sensational charges
against Superintendent Ileemer, and
when It came to the ears of the pooi
board authorities an Investigation wa.
held. 'Superintendent Reenter was ex
onerated and Fitzgerald did not re
turn to the home. Since that time ht
has been wanderlns? about, sleeplnf
wherever he could find a place to resl
his head. In the summer time he hat
led a hermit's life at Gravel pond. Hi
U 65 years of age and a cripple.
When It was apparent that the board
was not disposed to give any relief to
one who had abused their charity, Mr.
Gibbons became eloquent In the cause
of the aged, crippled old soldier, say
ing that even though the old fellow
had had some trouble with the officers
at the home It would be inhuman to re
fuse him a shelter and turn him adrift
to die.
He Would Not Retract.
Mrs. Swan wanted to know If Fitz
gerald had ever retracted his vilHfica
tlon of Mr. Beemer. Mr. Gibbons re
sponded that he had only that day
asked Fltegerald to make a retraction,
but th old man. while expressing re
gret for his utterances, said he could
not retract them.
When there was atlll no disposition
to assist Fitzgerald, Mr. Gibbons be
came highly indignant, and turning t
his "old friend," as he addressed him,
said: "Go down to Judge ArchbaM
and he will send you to the home in
spite of the board. He appoints this
great power .that would turn you Into
the streets, and he can send you to the
home without consulting us."
Mr. Shotten was not In favor of bplng
overly Indignant to the unappreclatlve
Fitzgerald, but finally agreed, as did
the others, to admit him to -the poor
farm If he secured an order of relief by
due process of law.
"Go ahead, old man, and see an al-
Arn (M n n B n A it ,'..!, I . 11 ' ,u, on il.AN
I'll send you up anyhow." said the ag
gressive Mr. Gibbons, and Fitzgerald,
the cause of all the trouble, hobbled
out of the room.
There were an unusually large num
ber of applicants for relief, and six of
the female suppliants were women
whose husbands had deserted them.
