Gccr and He was Ordered Ont of the
Game-It Was an I'neqtial Contest.
Syracuse. N. T., 'Sept. 4. An unsatis
factory umpire, who tried to down
iScranton by his biased Judgment,
came near causing a fistic encounter
today during the Syracuse-dcrantott
game. Geer Is the new appointee, and
his partiality was so manifest that the
crowd hissed him.
During an altercation between Geer
and Ward, the latter called the umpire
u robber and a loafer. Ward was then
ordered out of the game. Syracuse had
her own way. batting Huston at will,
and sending the ball all over the lot.
Scranton gave him admirable support.

DIAMOND DUST.
Dahlen has had more assists than any
other shortstop In the National league.
Jennings leads in put-outa and in the av
erages. "That man Cross Is rospons'.blo for half
the games we have lost to Philadelphia
this season," says Manager Selee, of the
Bostons. "I don't know how he plays
against other teams, but aRainst us he
puts up the greatest fielding game I have
ever seen played at third base. I would
rather see my men hit in any other di
rection than toward third, for we can get
nothing past Cross that it is possible tor u
human being to stop. I consider Cross a
Jewel as a ball player, and wish we had
him."
A Boston dispatch to the Sporting News
states that Collins, who has been doing
such excellent work at third for Louis
ville, Is to be recalled. The agreement
was that Boston should give the Louis
ville club notice of a week, and return the
$.' paid Boston for Collins. Boslon has
offered for hkm Nyce, who is a better
batsman, but not so good a fielder. It re
mains to be seen if Louisville will care
for Nyce. That player has been with the
New Bedford club of the New England
league most of the season, and has shown
up very sironir with the stick, having a
percentage of about .410.
Caylor, In his report of the morning
games In New York Monday, says: "if
Tommy Bannon had not been afillcted In
tho fourth inning of the morning's game
with a clear cose of nervous terror Clarke
would have shut the Clevelands out. In
that Inning Chllds sent a two-legged
grounder straight to Tommy. That young
man backed on it, instead of running up,
and consequently lost Its angle on the
second bound. The ball went some feet
bevond him and the famous fat boy was
safe, MoAler followed with astlll slower
one toward first. Eannon this time start
ed In to meet It, but Just before the con
junction of the nnlmate and Inanimate
bodies, the animate actually stepped aside
nnd let the Inanimate roll by without sn
effort to field it. Thus were two easy
chances missed."

SPECIAL KACB WAS A FARCE
la the First Heat John R. Gentry Weat tha
Mile In 2,oa 1-4, the Fastest Tim
Ever Mad by a tiara eu Per
former oa That Track.
Philadelphia, Sept 4. The special
race between the crack pacers, John
K. Gentry and Joe Patchen, at Bel
mont Purk this afternoon resulted In
a lamentable failure, and but for the
fact that the Pennsylvania law against
the selling of pools was rigidly enforced
a scene would doubtless have been
precipitated.
Owing to the character of the attrac
tion nearly &.UU0 people were in attend
ance, over one-half of whom left before
the race had reached a conclusion. In
the first heat Gentry took the lead, ami,
though never headed, was closely at
tended all the day around to the dis
til nee flag by Patchen, where the latter
broke. Gentry coining home well within
himself In 2.0C4, the fastest mile ever
made by a harness performer on this
track.
In 'the second heat Gentry again
went out In front and was never head
ed, although there waa never anything
In evidence to show that Putchen,
under Curry's skilful guidance, was
doing anything to push out the stal
lion, lit fact Gentry eeemed to be
pretty well used up. while Patchen
showed no signs of being in trouble.
Bid Not Try to Win.
In the third heat there was as
flagrant an exhibition of not trying
to win on the part ot Curry aa was
ever seen anywhere. The pair went
the quarter In 31Vi. and travelled as a
double team through the back stretch.
In negotiating tho hill, Patchen went
to the front, but in rounding the turn
he was brought back by Curry. But
notwithstanding all of the latter's
efforts, Patchen was full of go, and In
the Journey down the stretch to the
wire he made up the lost distance and
fifty yards from home he looked like
a sure winner. But to the surprise and
disgust of the spectators. Curry yanked
him off his feet and let In Gentry a
winner.
This was such a palpable exhibition
of pulling that the Judges declared It
no heat, which decision was received
with applause by the spectators. Bo
fore they were sent away for the fourth
heat Curry was admonished by the
Judges to go out and win. Curry pro
tested that he always tried to win,
and Incidentally offered to bet a good
round sum that he was never known
to try to do anything else but win. At
the same time he volunteered the In
formation that the Gentry horse was
"done," and that he would win and
win easily at that.
Patchen Won the llcnt.
They got away to a good start In
which Patchen held Gentry safe all the
way around, winning out In 2.11. In
the fifth heat both horses acted tired,
going to the quarter pole In 33M,. Gen
try led Into the stretch, where he was
collared by Patchen. The latter, ap
parently, had the race won, but Curry
again pulled Patchen off his feet. This
was awkwardly done, and the Judges
again decided "no heat," and called
Curry Into the stand. The Judges In
timated that Curry was not trying, an
Intimation to which Curry vigorously
dissented, and went so far as to sug
gest that the Judges put up another
driver. When the horses were called
for the sixth heat the Judges conclud
ed to act on Curry' suggestion, and
selected Dicker-sou, who had piloted
Fred Kohl to victory In the 2.35 class,
to drive the stallion.
The advantage of the change was
made manifest at the first quarter,
which 'Patchen reached In S1V4, two
seconds faster than the preceding heat.
The half was reached In 1.01, an Im
provement of B'i seconds over the pre
ceding heat. Then AIcHcnry, who evi
dently did not want to make too much
use of his horse, pulled up for the ap
parent purpose of being distanced, awl
Patchen walked home In 2.13. The
Judges, however, called out, "Joe Patch
en first, John R. Gentry second."
Curry Fined Five Hundred.
There was no semblance of a horse
race In the seventh heat, Mcilenry pull
ing up Gentry after passing the half,
and Patchen coming home by hlmaelf
In 2.32. After the race the Judges held
a meeting, the result of which was that
Curry was fined $500 and another $100
was taken out of his share of the purse
to pay Dlckerson for driving the last
two heats.
What little betting there was, was
on Gentry, 4 to 5. Lynne Bel had no
trouble In taking the big end of the
money In the 2.25 class. Larable was
supposed to have the second race at his
mercy, but he broke badly In the first
heat and after thnt could not reach
Fred Kohl, who won In straight heats.

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.
Tho squirrel season is now open, and un

bushy tails to their heart's content. They
are reported plentiful In all parts of the
state, albeit the foliage Is a little too
thick Just now for successful markstnan-

Betting on the comlnsr tnternnt'nnnl
yacht race Is much brisker than It was a
week ago. Then Valkyrie stock was
high. Since Defender, by her last two
races, na again proved that she Is a very
fast boat, the betllnr Is mors In hnrfavnr.

John 3. Qulnn, of Pittsburg, who !s

no good. Dwyer waa getting everybody
ho could to back his string, and got the
purser of the steamer City of Paris who
never saw a horse race In his life, to put
