Providence Took Two.
' Yesterday was Labor Day, bat not
a holiday tor National League clubs.
Two games in one day is always
dreaded by professional ball players
and hence yesterday was Labor Day
In the strictest sense of the term. The
Pennsylvania leaguers. Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, were the only ones of
the twelve clubs that did not play a
couple of games. (Baltimore broke even
with St. Louis,' and her rival. Cleve
land, was unfortunate enough to lose
two games to New York. At Washing
ton both games were played in the
afternoon, but all other teams played
morning and afternoon. The general
result is better for the reason that sev
eral clubs now have something to strive
for. New York has an opportunity to
revenge World's fair scores with Chi
cago, while Brooklyn and Philadelphia
are in a deadly heat for third position.
Seranton will long remember Labor
Day of '95. One victory and two de
feats Is her record In a foreign land.
Most of the other clubs managed to win
half of their games, with the exception
of Rochester, who was walloped by
Providence.

CASE OF HOS8 AND IIOSS.
Wilkes-Barre Won la the Morning sad
Syrnenae In the Afternoon.
Syracuse, N. Y.. Sept X.-One a piece
was the result of two games at Star
park today, the WUkea-atarro nine
winning in the morning and the home
team coming out ahead In the after
noon. The hint contest was witnessed
by a small crowd. Costly errors and
Inability to hit Keenan after he had
taken Coakley's place In the first in
ning were the causes of the Syracuse
defeat.
Over 6.000 people attended the after
noon game and the struggle was an In
teresting one. Heavy batting on both
sides marked the exhibition. The seven
runs that the Stars piled up In the
sixth Inning gave them a lead that was
more of a handicap than the visitors
were able to overcome. Sandy Grif
fin made three of the WllkesBarre nine
runs and seemed, by his playing, to be
trying to snow the home team that
tney had lost a good man. Scores:

Rochesters Put Up n Woak Defense
Against the Grays.
: Rochester, N. Y.. Sept. 2. The Ro
chesters put a feeble defense today
against (Providence, and the champions
had little trouble In making it two
straight. Duryea was hit hard In the
morning game and Ms support was
wretched. The visitors landed on Har
per heavily In the afternoon, and what
they failed to get by ..timely hitting
was given them, by the local's errors.
The Rochesters were stupid on bases.
Keenan pitched star ball in the first
game, and allowed but five hits, three
of them weak scratches. The fielding
of Knight, Strieker, Cooney and Keen

ANTHRACITES SHUT OUT.
Were No Match for the Champion Y. M
C A. Team.
About 500 persons witnessed a fine
exhibition of base bull at she park yes
tetrday between the Young iMen'a
Christian association team of this city
and the Anthracite club of Mooslc. The
Young -Men's Christian Association
team demonstrated the fact that It can
be classed with any semi-professional
team in the state.
The game was a battle royal between
the opposing pitchers and was much
closer than is shown by the detatlled
score, iDean having a slight advan
tage, though not striking out as many
batters as did Lucky. Five Anthra
cite batters were all that could reach
first base and only three of these were
able to hit this phenomenal young
twiner.
The feature of the game was White's
stop of a hot grounder In the second
inning, after a desperatet dash, and
the batting of Owens, this auburn'
haired youngstetr making three hits.
with a total of four bases. For the
Anthracites O'Neil caught a magnifl
cent game and was a great help In
steadying L.ucky at critical times.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tion made four runs In the second In
ning by clean hard hitting, three In the
eighth and two In the ninth on a base
on balls to Brooks and two two-bag
gers Dy uwena and Ulllern. Score:

A base ball team representing the busi

lar team at Olyphant yesterday. It was a
pitcher's battle and had Patten received
the proper support the result might have
been different. The fielding of the locals
was very erratic. Casky occupied the box
for the v!'.1ors and fairly hypnotised the
Olyphant batters. Score

"Blondy" Purcell, t'he old Baltimore
rlgh.ttlelder, Js said to have fallen heir to
120,000.
Esper, the Baltimore pitcher, has not h't
a single batsman or made a wild pitch
his whole season.
The record McMahon has made since his
return to the game for Baltimore has
never been equaled. He has pitched nine
games, winning them all for Baltimore,
and four of them are recorded ss shutouts
for -the opposing team. Wilkes-Barre
Record. -
"Circle." the Pittsburg correspondent
of Sporting Life, says of our Aeorge
Meekln, recently released by Wilkes
Barre: "That man has as much speed as
Rusle or Hawley, but he can't pitch In the
league, for after a couple of men get on
bases he cannot swallow his own saliva."
A mall vote of the directors of the Na
tional league decides that the game won
by the Bostons from Washington on the
last visit of the Benators. and which was
protested on account of one of Umpire
liurnnanvs runngs, snouia De inrown out
altogether and will have to be played over.
This takes one victory from the Boston
club's standing and one defeat from the
Benators.
