BALTIMORE'S LEAD INCREASED Took Two Causes from ths Pirate-Grat Playing by tho Brooklyn Clnb-Seraa-loo Lot Another Game to Buffalo After It Mod It Nearly Won. MoMahon, of Baltimore, won his seventh consecutive game yesterday by shutting out Pttsburg. The man agement of the Baltimore club re fused to let him pitch this season on account of the condition of his arm until the first week of August, and since then he has not lost a game In which he has taken part. Four times out of the seven games MoMahon has pitched has he shut out the opposing team. Baltimore made another Jump forward yesterday by taking two games from Pittsburg and now seems to be firmly entrenched In first place. Brooklyn Is playing remarkably fast fcall, and if any accident should befall the leaders that club Is likely to very much In the pennant race. Surunton played another hard luck game at Buffalo. It ought to have won for it played steadier ball than the Bisons, but a timely batting streak Placed the victory to the credit of Buffalo. EASTERN LEAGUE. Yesterday's Results. Buffalo 9 Seranton....

In three days of the past week the Jultlmores have played double games ind have won the whole six. Yester !ay they captured two from Pittsburg, me of them by a shut-out. They now lave a good lead, and since only wenty-six games more are to be :Iayed by them they are reasonably ertaln of winning the pennant. Cleve land is In second position, and the prospects for so continuing until the ilose of the season are good. Cincin nati and New York are tied for eighth place.

REVIEW OF WEEK'S SPORT Scranton Took Another of Its Unci plulnablc Slumps. WE HAVE LOST FIVE STRIGHT Local .Magnates Are Already Discussing Plans for Nest Season-Last Game Will lie IHnyed llere on Sept. 16-As to Rlenby and Uove. Scranton had one of Its old-time slumps this week: one of those aggra vating, unexplalnable slumps fur which we have been famous from the begin ning of the season. Every now and then we strike a good, stiff gait and play tall In real first division style for a few days, and just when the hearts of the local lovws of the game are being made glad and they begin to think that Scranton has a ball club worthy of the city comes the slump, and all the high hopes and expectations are cast to the ground and shattered. It's too bad. but there seems no help for It this season. All we can do is to pin our faith on that ever-present ray of hope to the dls consolHble ball crank. "Next season." Already the local base ball magnates are discussing plans for next season, which, they trust, will result more satisfactorily to the club than did the necessarily hastily devised plans for the present season. If the greater part of the present club can be held together during next season, the directors of the local association feel thut they will be able to cut a good nixed figure in the league race of '98. There is danger, hnwever, that National league clubs will draft some of our players. Johnson has been watched with an eager eye for weeks past by Pittsburg, and that club stands ready to pay a good slsed sum for his relpnse If the directors of the Scranton club would consent to sell. They have refused to do so, but at the end of the season Pittsburg, by the terms of the National agreement, has the privilege of drafting him pro vided the Scranton club is paid 1500. This, It is feared, will be done, and it Is one of the strong probabilities that Mr. Johnson, of California, will not decorate himself with a Scranton uniform next year. see Another Scranton player whose recent work is attracting much attention in National league circles is Pitoher Mea ney. whose clever work In the box, fast fielding and heavy batting marks him as an extraordinary player. There are several National league clubs he would strengthen, and It need not be consid ered a surprise if he Is drafted. Field ers Eagan and Butler are two more players that could travel In major league society, according to the opin ion of many critics nf the national game. It Is true that Butler was tried and released by .New York, but his work In this city Would indicate that he was not given a fair trial or was un able to play his usual game when sur rounded by the much vaunted players of the National league. Even if the National league does draft a few of Scranton's players, there will be the nucleus of a club remaining around which Manager Barnle ought to be able to fit other players and form a club strong enough to win more than half the games played. The fact that he will manage the club next season is settled so far as anything can be on this mundane sphere. iHe has been kind and considerate with the players, but proved a stern disciplinarian when required, as is shown by the deter mined stand he took with regard to Bannon, Luby and .Rogers. If Scran ton had decided that his services would not be needed next season it Is probable he would have gone to Rochester, as the base ball men of that city were ver? anxious to secure him. They tried to get him several weeks ago for the re mainder of the season, but were unsuc cessful. They then turned their atten tion to Manager Dan- Shannon, of Wllkes-Barre, with better success. The latter, it is announced, will have charge of the Rochester team next season, which will make It necessary for the Alligator City to look about for another man who possesses as much playing and managing abllltyaa Dan Shannon. They will find it difficult to locate such a man. ess The brilliant victory won by Scran ton at Springfield last Saturday led to the hope that our pets would break even on the series away from home, but this hope has been ruthlessly dis sipated during the week. Monday Scranton went up against Springfield again, and IMeaney went In to pitch for the locals. He was found for sev enteen banes, while (J ruber, of Spring field, was punished to the extent of nineteen. The club behind Meaney made eight errors and lost the game, which, otherwise, might have been safely pocketed by Scranton. Tues day's game was lost by Johnson's wild ness, and the ease with which his curves were solved by the Ponies. He was found fifteen times and gave ten bases on balls. From Springfield the club Jumped to Buffalo, where It played on Wednes day. Miller was assigned to do the twirling for Scranton, but had to be taken out after the third Inning. The Bisons were sending the leather Into all parts of the field, four Buffalo men scoring In- the first Inning. Johnson was substituted for Miller In the fourth and held the Bisons down In gallant shape for the remainder of the game. Scranton led from the third until the ninth, when the Buffalo sluggers ham mered out four runs and won the game ly a margin of one run. Thursday there was no such battle. Buffalo walked away from Scranton at the be ginning and easily maintained Its lead until the game was over. Yesterday the battle was more vigorous but the result was the same. Monday Scranton will play two games at Toronto, and should win at least one of them, althought Toronto Is playing a' very stiff game Just at present. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we will oppose Syracuse and be fortunate If one game falls to us out of the three. We should do better at Rochester, where the club Is sched uled to play on Sept 6, 7 and I. Sept. 10 the club will reappear on the grounds In this city and for three dnys do battle with 'Springfield. The Ponies are to be followed by Provi dence, which plays here on Sept. 13, 1.4 and 16. On the latter date the last league game of the season will . be played. The Intention at present Is to disband the team Immediately after wards, for the local magnates do not think a supplemental season of ex hibition games would be remunerative. It is doubtful If a series even with Wllkes-Barre, would draw large crowds In this oHy for the reason that Scran ton has been uniformly unfortunate against that aggregation all during the season. . . The friends of Rlcaby and Dove are Jubilant about their victory over James and Joseph Corbett, and unhesitating ly proclaim that the local men are two of the best handball players In the country. There Is no doubt of the su periority of Rlckaby and Dove over the Corbett. but 1t Is, nevertheless, doubtful If the latter had a proper op portunity to display their ability Thursday on account of the rain and miserable condition of th earth floor of the court. Champion Corbett, In conversation with the writer, said that he -thought Rlcaby a good player, though not a great oae. H mi son fldent that there were many better handball men in the country than him, and Inclined to the belief that he would be able to give Rlcaby a very Interest ing battle when they meet- at Anbury Park, where Corbet t will go next week to train for his battle with Fitsslm mons. A great deal of Interest la taken here In the bicycles races at Stroudsburg today. They will be attended by a large party of Scranton wheelmen who go to cheer the following local men who have entered the races: Gardner and Coleman, Scranton Bicycle club; Keller, Cox and White, Oreen Ridge wheelmen. DIAMOND DUST. Catcher Warner, of Louisville, has had his sulary raised by the club management. Clymer Is improving each day In his fielding and has an enviable reputation among many of the Eastern league Held era. "Tim" Murnane thinks Baltimore has at this time the strongest pitching force In the league. There are four Clarkes In the National league-two in New York, one In Balti more and one in Louisville. The Crescent wheelmen will hold a pro fessional and class A meet on their track at Plaintleld. N. J., on Sept. 1 and 4. The officials of the Century Cycle club, of Newark, announce that the first annuul one hundred mile road ruue of the organi sation Will be hold on Sept. 21. Three of tho Colonels lead the league fielders. Warner stamls at the head of the catchers, Collins leads tho third base men and Wr'jght tups the center lleldera. The 1,000 mile race between Shabel, the French long distance bicycle champion, and leaver, of Boston, has been set to start on Thursday, St-pt. 6, at the Island track, Toronto, Out. Two nights of professional and class A racing will be given undor the auspices of the Crescent wheelmen, on their truck at Plalnneld, N. J., on Tuesday and Wednes day evenings, Sept. 2 and 8. , Roger Connor Is now managing a team at Watm-bury, Conn., and has been very successful so far. Connor was one of the few players to voluntsrUy retire from a base ball organisation of the first class. Owing to the Inab Kty of tb club's of ficials to secure a nst'.onal circuit date the South Brooklyn wheelman have de cided not to hold a race meet this year. They will, however, run a big meet early next spring. The PoURhkeepgle Bicycle club will hold Its fourth annual race meet at the Hud son River Driving park on Labor Day. Six events for class A riders will be de cided. The prises will consist of dia monds, medals and bicycle sundries. Robert P. Senrle, of the Lincoln Cycling club, Chicago, has decided to start -at hair past 4 o'clock next Monday ' morning on h's attempt to reduce the Chicago New York record. His schedule calls for the marvelous time of four days and seventeen hours. By cyclometer meas urement the new route is 1,015 miles from Chicago, being about the same distance as the old. The following would not be bad odds to offer on the outcome of the leaguo race: Baltimore against the neld for even money; even money that Cleveland does not get second place; even money that Pittsburg does not get as good as third place; even money that Boston finishes third or better; even money that four of the first six clubs will hall from the east; 3 to 2 that Plilludolirhla finishes ahead of Chicago and Cincinnati. Boston Herald. Removal from the game is the most ef fective remedy for rowdyism and sense less kicking. In many instances fines are paid by the club, but the magnates squirm when the playing strength of their team Is weakened. Hanlon is now one of the strongest advocates of the plan. Umpire Keefe believes In it. He had but two oc casions for removing players this season, MuOraw at Pittsburg and Pennings at Cleveland, and each time It resulted in the loss of a game for Baltimore. The Springfield Bicycle club Is confident that It has the finest programme of races of the season for its September tourna ment. The hour record event, which will be a competition race, will be made a leading feature of the meet, and there Is some talk now of a 100-mlle race, manu facturers having approached the club in the matter. There will probably be few trials against time at Hampden park this fall, as the public shows little Interest in such events, and the manufacturers real ise that they amount to but very little. Titus, the New York flyer, will ride in the hour race, and all the other long-distance riders of note are sure to be his rivals. This is the way Chrla Von der Ahe, presi dent of the St. lxnils club, delivers himself regarding the Temple cup affair: 'What da I think of the wrangle over tho Temple cup games? Well, I don't see why the New Yorks should play the winners of the pennant for the trophy and gate money. In my opinion the first and sec ond clubs should play for it, for that would be fairer. Still a better plan, though, which might give satisfaction all around, would be for the first two clubs to play a series, the winner of which could then play tho Now Yorks for the Temple cup. As far as I know, Byrne can't set tle the question alone, for it must come beforei the board of directors of the league." Joseph W. Wright, manager of the old est base ball club In England, la In Boston. He conies to America on a vacation and to study the American national game, over which he Is enthusiastic. Mr. Wright says in England the only man who siieaks to the umpire Is the captain of the team, and when this is done It Is always In a re spectful manner. The rules are strictly adhered to, and for a breach a player ia warned once and for a repetition ordered from the field, reported to the league council and by that body suspended for any period deemed fit for the offense. Players are never fined. He says the American pitchers would find their move ments considerably restricted in England. Men are' not taken under contract. At the opening of the season a player signi fies his wish to play with a certain team. Is tried in a game and If accpted cannot play for any other. He tries to work In harmony with his fellow players and the management, and he usually succeeds. Mr. Wright says under the English systom better results arc secured than under an American.. Mr. Wright thinks an Eng lish team may come to America next year. Amateur Ball Notes.

WAS NOT DRIVEN I'KOPERLY In Spite of That Met the Mile Was Mad In 2-05 l-'i-Nlghtlngnle Went a Mil In 2:0 I -2 -Summaries of the Events. Fleetwood Park. Aug. 30.-The most brilliant and successful trotting meet ing that has ever been held in New York virtually came to an end today, although one race was unfinished at nighttall. The weather was too cool to be favorable fur extreme speed, and a brisk wind further interfered with the breaking of records. The feature of the programme was Asote's attempt to beat the world's trotting record of t.02. held by his stable companion, Allx. The best he could do. however, was 2.05H.
