AND THE (LIB CAME BACK.
Only to Be I'sed as a Foot Mat for the
Sprtngfields. 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.

Wllkes-IBarre, Pa.,' Sept. 10. The
champion Grays had what looked like
a sure victory up to the seventh In
ning In today' game with Wilkes
Barre when two toase on ballB, Mc
Mahon'a single and a drop fly owing
to Lyons and Murray colliding made
the score in tie. Murray's triple and an
outfield fly put the Grays In the lead In
their half of .the seventh Inning, but
Wllkea-iBarre won the game In the
eighth through Griffin's base on balls
and his daring base running along with
Karle's aingle and wild throw by AIc

Providence earned all her runs and

Syracuse at Rochester.
Rochester, N. Y.. Sept. 10. Rochester
was defeated today by the Syracuse
team. 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.

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. '

Manager Burns, of Springfield, don't
car a rap for players wyn records. He

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

Small Attendance nt Shcepshcnd Ray.
Sheepshend Bay, Race Track, Sept. 10.
The attendance here today was small,
owing to the great counter attraction, the
yacht race. The card had but one fen
'ture, the Flatbuh stakes of the cash
value of fil.oco. and they were won handily
by the favorite, Requital, who defeated
Ben Brush two lengths. 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.

Six arrests were necessary to bring
about the retention of a trio of stove
stealers. When Saloon-keeper Yuske,
of West Lackawanna avenue, deserted
the town he left behind a number of
anxious creditors. But before leaving
he secreted ail his household goods In
numerous places. One of the articles
tihat Yuske hid was a Btove. ne night
recently tMrs. Yuske, who stills braves
the atmosphere of this city, missed this
stove from Its accustomed corner.
She Instituted a search for the missing
article. A search warrant was Issued.
The stove was found on the premises
of Joe Zelozlsh, of SIS Jackson street,
and after due Identillcatlon a warrant
was Issued for the arrest of Zelozlsh us
a receiver of stolen goods. This man
charged Carl Cuslck, Pete Solosavage
nnd leorge Cooperas with having sold
him the Btove. .Result, three more war
rants.
tA hearing wns partially hold Friday
night before Alderman John, and was
finally dsferred until the following
evening. This time Mrs. Yuske, the
prosecutrix, did not present any sort of
an appearance. Again the case was
put over until Monday night. This time
the three defendants shunned the al
derman's sanctum and the result was
that Constables Jones nnd Davis were
authorized to seize the stolen stove
and place It 1n a safe place for the
winter.
This they were doing at the Zclztsh
hometoad, but Defendant Cuslck came
up and filed a strenuous objection. He
was locked up. , Now tho case goes to
court, but one more warrant was need
ed. iMrs. Yuske Intended to visit Plym

legally forced to remain.
