Another Important feature of the major league race Is the Jump of Bt. Louis from eleventh place, which they have held during nearly all the sea Bon, to tenth place, ahead of the Sena tors.

Who Scored an fcosy Victory -Scranton Gave an Exhibition of Very Tired Playing. Scranton returned home yesterday to finish the season and Incidentally to show the faithful cranks ut home how the club managed to earn Its long string of defeats on the road. The ex hibition was a pronounced success. The fast playing Spring-Held ponies, who will be heru today, and tomorrow, were Scranton's opponents. They kept up a running Are of hits on ProJIe. and assisted by eight of the yellowest kind of yellow errors, won with a lap or two to spare, although in the last Inning Gruber, the Jollier, slowed up for water and permitted Ave single hits, which netted three earned runs. The playing of the home team was full of malaria; It was featured with two or three coats of fumbles, tiredness and other things which made it diffi cult to understand why they attempt to play the great national game for a liv ing. In the early part of the agony Springfield earned Its runs by business like and timely smashing of the ball, with an error or two thrown. In. But In the last two Innings Scranton's rep resentatives began a series of misfit gyrations which seemed to become In fectious, and live ripe and Juicy errors of the bad smelling variety gave Spring field three runs, when not a visitor had a license to trot himself across the rub ber. Of "features of the game" there were none, possibly excepting the git-up-an-ftet-there playing of Springfield and Scranton's disposition to do everything except .the right -thing. The small crowd of 300 spectators. 200 of 'whom eat in the grand stand, varied the monotony of the thing by roasting Umpire-Swart wood. iHe might have been better and he might have been worse, but neither his bad eye on balls and strikes nor his peculiar decision In call ing Smith out In the eighth could pos elhly have affected the result.

Harper was a little wild at tlrst but steadied down after giving four bases on balls In the early innings, but the remainder of the game was a pitch er's battle. ITmpIre (Jeer officiated, and his decisions were frequently dis puted by both sides. In the seventh inning .Hamburg wns on third and Delancy had the ball. There was some arguing going on with the umpire nt the time, and In some unaccountable manner iMInnehtm se cured possession of another bull and when Hamburg stepped off the base he touched hint. The umpire seemed Inclined to cull the man out but Ham burg said Deluney had the ball. The Syracusans were commencing to leave the field when one of the Rochester stopped Deluney and made him show up the ball. When the deception was discovered by the crowd Ihey gave vent to their feelings in a forcible manner, but the Syracuse team only grinned. Attendance, 500. fcore: HOCHKSTF.R. A.B. It. H. O. A. E.

EXTRA WEEK OF BASE BALL Sis Game Series Proposed Between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. Arrangements are being mado for a series of six games next week between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, three games to be played In each city. Man ager Bain le goes to Wilkes-Barre this morning to negotiate with the officials of that city. In the event of satisfactory arrange ments being made, the Scranton club win be strengthened by Moss, Minna han and Power, of the Syracuse in fleM; Barrett, the Syracuse pitcher, and possibly Jlnrper, the Rochester crack fwlrler, nnd F.gan, the Syracuse second baseman. With such an aggre gation each game should be desperately fought, especially so when Is consid ered the fact thnt the rivalry between the Syracuse and Wilkes-Barre players Is possibly more Intense than between Scranton nnd the Wllkfs-Bnrreans. Umpire Ned Swartwood. who Is now In Scranton, has consented to officiate during the scries. If good, snappy and hard-fought base ball. IS what Is wanted by the cranks of the two cities, the proposed series should meet the demand. BARNIK FOR MANAGER. Will PrnhuMy Guldo the Scranton Clob Through the Mazes of 1800. The meeting of the stockholders of the Scrnnton Base Hall association an nounced for last night was adjourned owing to the absence of a iiuorum. The result of the meeting had been an ticipated with much Interest, as ft would have decided the Identity of the manager for lXttS, and would have given a line on the future policy of the club.. Although no business was transact ed, many of the stockholders wore present and they were, a unit In an nouncing 'Manager. Barnle as their choice for manager next year. The opinion expressed was that while the work tif ,the club has Wen far from satisfactory, Manager Itarnle has done all that could have been expected, con sidering, the many things he was obliged to contend against. ' DIAMOND DUST. - 'V . . 'i . 1 r.i Springfield today. , Meaney, Will be In the box. Next week Manager Barnle will begirt a nusue ior isw prayers. Umpire Swartwood since last In Scran ton, has grown a bristling moustache of mall but pugnacious aspect. Manager Burns, of Springfield, don't car a rap for players wyn records. He ays h i me neag,.ina counts. Luckey, the Mosaic Anthracite pitcher, has been engaged to pitch one of this week's games. He will probably go In the box tomorrow. V Scranton Is winding up the season with only ten players, and one of them, John son. Is on the 'bench and nursing a strained knee. With the assistance of Luckey, of the Moosle Anthracites, Meaney and Brodle will alternate in the box until the agony is over. Among other beta that Captain Anson, of the Ch'.cagoa, made was one of S2uO that the Loulsvlllea would this season finish ninth or better. He made that wager Just after the opening of the season, when the Loulsvllles trounced the Pirates so thor oughly. Unless there Is a mighty sudden switch in affairs Anson stands to lose more than t3,U0O on wagers -this this sea more than 83,000 on wagers rhls sea backs his belief that the Colts will beat out the Giants.

Crescendo, who was well backed nt odds of 8 to 5, finished third. The track was In superb condition. NEWS OF THE SOITH SIDE. Rev. Father O'Callahan Preached an Eloquent Sermon on Heath-Points How It Is Received by Good and Bad Christians-Personal Paragraphs. 'Death was the subject of the sermon at St. John's church last night. The religious Instruction was given by Fa ther Burke. The sermon was preached by Father O'Callahan. He advised his hearers that the time of the mission la to them as Is the senson of Lent, when they ure supposed to do penance for their Bins, frequent the sacraments and be sanctified with the grace of God. The end of humanity Is death. Death to the bad Christian Is the end of his probation, the time. when God no longer deals mercifully' with him. Sometimes the deal'h of the sinner comes before the material death of the body. The life of sin persisted in reaches a stage that terminates' all hope of the sinner's salvation, and though he lives afterward his soul is dead. To the good Christian death la a relief; In his case to die Is to gain. It has no terrors for him, no horrifying presentiments, for he knows that the God whom he has served Is ready with the reward promised to the Just a crown of glory anil everlasting happi ness in the kingdom of heaven forever and. ever. Father O'Callahan concluded with a fervent and eloquent exhortation to do the will of God and serve Him In this world Confessions will begin this morning after 8 o'clock mass, and con tinue until all the women are heard Saturday night. The last sermon will be preached to the women Sunday af ternoon, nnd the men's mission will be gin Sunday night. Shorter Paragraphs of Sows. The funeral of Mrs. John J. Ratch ford, of the West.
