DID GREAT BALL PLAYING.
Wilkes-Barre Defeated by Providence In
n Ten-Inning Game.
Providence. Aug. 25. Providence de
feated Wilkes-Barre today In a hard
fought battle that lasted ten innings.
It was a free batting game, with fast
fielding and hustling In every depart
ment. Coakley was pitching for
Wilkes-Barre, and In the early part of
the game the home team batted out a
good lead.
Hodson pitched for Providence, and,
with dashing support, held the Wilkes
Barres down to a single run In seven
Innings. Then the home team had a
core of five runs. The visitors were
playing a stubborn uphill game, and
in the eighth Coakley banged out the
lc est home run drive ever made on
the grounds and Bonner scored on a
two-oagger and (Lyons' failure to get
Lezotte's fly.
Providence got two more In the ninth,
but Wilkes-Barre went in and got four
by a steady streak of batting, making
the score a tie. They would have won
the game but for clear-headed fielding
that cut the Inning short when Bonner
was trying to score a run to win the
game. In the tenth good hitting, with
an error by Smith, netted two runs fot
Providence and won the game. Attend

Rochester in the second game. (He was
given poor aupport ami the visitors

FRED S. GODFREY INJURED

Wss Badly Seratobed and Braised.
Narrow Escape of Ed Jersayn
from Serious la jury.
Saturday was a great day In the his
tory of racing at the Scranton Driving
park, not owing, however, to any rec
ord breaking events, but to an unusual
series of mishaps.
The most racy description of the Ben
llur chariot races la tame, when com
pared with the tumbles, sharp turns
and collisions which took place In the
free-for-all and mule runs. Jumes
Kelly was starter, and the Judges were
Frank Jerinyn, 'Harry Bellman and
Lou Bunnell. ,
Excitement began with tho first
event, a free-for-all race, best three In
five half-mile heats. The entries were:
Jim Meurs. Dr. O. L. Hill: Minnie K.,
R 11. Jermyn; Tlppo, K. S. liodfroy;
Nellie H.. iU A. Patterson; Blue. J. 11.
Lnilwlg, and Monreve. C. II. Schadt.
Kvery heat was well contested, the
tug-of-war being between Dr. Hill'
J tin Meat's and C. 11. Schadt's Mon
reve. It was a splendid contest, and
wus finally won by Jim Menrs; Mon
reve getting a very poor start when
the word "go" was given. With a
heavy truck and the distance only one
hulf mile. Monreve was unable to make
up the lost ground.
Summary of the Heats.
The following Is the summary of

Two of the accidents occurred In this
race. In the finish of the first heat,
Kdward Jermyn, while endeavoring to
check his horse, burst a foot brace,
which cuused the mare to kick so vigor
ously that the driver wus tumbled to
the ground by the force of one of
her drives, and In falling his feet got
tangled up in the lines.
He was dragged a considerable dis
tance before the mure was Htupped and
quieted. Mr. Jermyn luckily escaped
without a scratch and securing another
sulky drove in all of the heats of the
race.
The most serious accident of the day
however, happened to Fred S. Godfrey,
in the third heat. The four leading
horses were well together when they
reached the final turn, Minnie F. hav
ing somewhat the best of It, with Tlppo
C. a close and courageous second, both
Jim iMeurs and Monreve having left
their feet. Suddenly Minnie F. went
up in the air and when Kdward Jermyn
pulled her up. Mr. Godfrey failed to
notice his slackened speed. Before he
could prevent it his sulky collided with
that of iMr. Jermyn, and Mr. Godfrey
dropped a line. He stooped to gather
It up and In straightening up again,
lost his balance and fell from his seat.
He was carried to the hotel, where It
was ascertained, upon 'examination,
that he was badly cut and scratched
about the face and also sustained se
vere contusions of the body.

In the mule race a bucking mule

the finishing point, with Naglee

to le unwieldy, and many fears were
expressed that there would be a long
and tedious delay at the post. Appre
hensions on this score, however,
proved to be unfounded, as the start
was made with a fair degree of
promptness, not more than thirty-five
minutes being consumed at the post. '
How They Mot I'ndor Way.
There was a good deal of skirmish
ing for position at the start, but only
two breaks of nnv consenuence oc
curred. When tho final break occurred
Requital and Handspring were on the
rail, while close to them were Apple
gate, Hastings and Axiom. Crescendo
wan near the middle of the track.
Taral. on the outside, with Peep o
Day, wan the first to break the line as
the Bignnl was given. Axiom was sec

the next to show. All. however, got

cendo were all heads apart, with
Formal, Silver II., Handspring and

so close to the leaders that there was
little choosing among them so far as
any material advantage at this stage
of the race was concerned.
Aa they made the rise of the hill the
field had tnken closer order, and the lot

were head and head. Requital had the

Just an the ancle at the lunctlon of
the two tracks was reached Requital
wast on the rail and Crescendo some
twenty feet out In the track, the pair
showing almost on even terms. There
was tremendous tension. Every one
expected that either Handspring or
Hastings would come through with a
great burst of speed. But Handspring
and Hastings, good colts that they are.
had both shot their bolts. They were
unequal to the task of a last great
effort, and the expectancy of the mul
titude wan not realized.
Neither the maroon and scarlet nor
the red and blue flashed In front, but
Instead there wan a sudden buzs of ex
citement as Griffin put spurs to Re

front in half a dozen strides with a
lead of a length from Crescendo.

Sir: If the ignoramus signed "Fireman"
under an article in Sunday News wlH dis
close his Identity his lying statements will
be corrected at once. The writer cer
tainly was no member of the Volunteer
Firemen's assoc'atlon or else he was la
boring under a severe mental strain, as at
no time did the association speak of send
ing a delegate to the state convention. In
regard to only live members being present
at the election, his mind seems to have
