HOBXKR'S MIGHTY ARM.

Special from a Stuff Correspondent.
Spritieflold, Mass.. .May Little
Jack Horner ilid It. and he almost (Wd
It all by his lonesome yesterday, even
though Scramon did knock timber out
of the box in the fifth inning: even after
Sprlne-flcld had made six runs In the
third Vn only two hits, three yellow
tieldinsr errois and Ills own three pitch
ing triors Horner pulled himself to
gether. .DurUut the InBt six Innings he j
pat-milted but two hits, gave one base
ou balls anil hit Lynch. The pitching
eiror should, however, be wiped from
the score, as It was plainly a deliberate
HtteYrpt to net In front of a slow ball.
Hut with all the credit due Horner,
he Rot freat'encourapement by the good
backstop work or Vlnnaux and the
really brilliant fielding of Eu8an, Brad
ley and Meuney.
The patched' Up Infield, too, took
heart alter the nearly fatal third, and,
excepting a ridiculous error by Ward
In the eighth, which was not costly,
properly, performed the easy chances
for assists and put outs. Twelve huu
dren persons saw (he same. Vignaux
live at Holyoke, nln miles from here,
and iwas put In because of RarTerty's
bad arm. He played last season with
the Amsterdam team of the New York
State league, but will stay with Scran
ton only until Mahoney reports. He is
a steady backstop, but a weak hitter
and poor thrower. It was rather dis
couraging to McDermott's men to make
three clean singles In the third and get
only one run. when in the first half of
the same Inning two hits and a bunch
of errors had netted the Ponies six tal
lies, hone of which were earned. But
things changed after Horner showed
such remarkable nerve in the two Inn
ings that followed, and in the tilth
Gruber, the jollier, was knocked out of
the box and off the diamond on seven
hits lor eight bases, which Becured six
runs, five of which were earned.
PULL OF EXCITEMENT.
After the fifth inning, with Scranton
one run ahead, the game was full of
excitement. There were several close
decisions on the bases and many ques
tionable balls and strikes, all of which
gave Umpire Doescher a chance to
demonstrate that his judgment was
keen. As on the opening day. the
Holyoke and Chlcopee knockers were
there, and did much toward evening up
the applause. . The Impartiality was
also accounted for by the fact that
Horner was with Springfield two years
atio as a farmed Oriole.
The entertainment opened with
Springfield at bat. Things looked
bright for Scranton when Leahy and
iVhoirier were thrown out at tirst. and
brighter yet after Lynch und Gilbert
lint reached first on hit by pitcher and
four balls but died on ICagan's catch
of tMcUpnald's tiy. Ward cracked out
n single hit to center, Aleaney Hew out
to Leahy. Chiles reached tint on Shan
non's fumble. Eagan flew out to Shan
non and Fluck was nailed at first.
Springfield went out one. two, three
prder in the second, thanks to Eagun's
line running catch near the foul line.
Scranton in this inning suffered the
',' saint! penalty. Then came the heart
'1'ieuking third during which Horner
wan faced eleven times. Uruher got
four wide ones and went to second on
l-'laek's fumble of Leahy's easy one.
Siheifler put his back in front of a
slow one and the bases were full and
none cm. Lynch sent a warm one
along the ground to center, scoring
two runs, uuuert sacrificed and Mc
Oonald fouled out to beitrich.
- , CHANCE WAS lost.
With two runs in and two out a
vhaiice to retire the side was lost and
Springfield was presented with two
- runs on' flack's poor throw to Chiles
or -Shannons grounder. Two more
runs oanie In. Even then trouble
( didn't cease.' Coogan lobbed a slow one
; towards Chiles. Horner covered the
has and Chiles fell over himself in his
' mixlety to make an easy out. Inks was
hit by riteher ahd the bases were full.
Two ,got in oil limber's single to left.
Leahy was thrown out at tirst. In the
Scranton half a run was earned. Hor

had to hustle to get under long dis

running Scranton might have scored In
the fourth. Bradley got four wide ones.
Deilrick fanned and Vignaux was
stopped at tirst. Horner got four wide
ones.
Ward hit a hot tamale to Shannon
which mixed the latter up. Horner
thought It a sure out and was taking a
sort of exercise gall n toward second.
He woke up w hen Shannon scooped the
ball to second and retired the side. In
the firth Sorlnfield was again retired

THEN CAMK THE FIREWORKS.
Then came the Scranton fireworks.

Meaney and advancing Eagan to sec

on Bradley's hit to rlsht. Deitrk-k sent
a two-bagger down the left line. Flack
came In and Bradley went to third.
Yiguaux fanned and with two out and
two on bases Horner singled hard to
right and Bradley and I)e!trick crossed
the plate. So live runs were earned
when Coogan mufled Ward's high foul
and missed a chance to keep the tally
even.' Ward made a two bagger and
Horner got in by a narrow margin. It
was the winning run. Meaney got four
balls just as Ward was nailed attempt
ing to stent third.
With two out In the sixth. Leahy
singled, but was forced at third bv
Schclllcr. Unwley relaced Gruber In
the sixth and only three Scrantonians
were at lmt that Inning. Lynch was
tricked nicely In the seventh. He had
let himself be hit by Horner and Gil
bert Hew out to Flack. Horner stood
ready to enter the box when Ward,
who had received the ball from Flack,
threw it to Chiles and Lynch was an
easy out. McDonald hit for two bases
and Shannon fanned.
Scranton took away the breath of the
renters in the last of the seventh. Two
were out and the bases full on two
walks to first and a hit by pitcher.
Meaney had two strikes and three, balls
w hen he nailed a hip-high one. It was
a terrific swipe and sent the leather
sailing away over center field toward
Boston town. Two men were across the
plate and Meaney was past second when
It was caught by Leahy, who had leg
ged it ami made a beautiful out. The
hit and the catch earned applause.
MEANEY'S GREAT CATCH.
Meaney and Vlirnaux prevented
Springfield tying the score In the eighth.
1th one out und two on bases after
Ward's error, which prevented the re
tirement of Coogan on Hawley's force
hit, Leahy sent u skyscraper to far
ight field near Mie line. Meaney was
on a dead run when he received it
with arms out stretched. The two men
on bases advanced each a base. The
applause that greeted the catch was
hearty even though Scranton was a run
ahead. Schetller's foul sailed over to
ward the Scranton bench, but Vignaux
made a pretty out.
With two out in the eighth Flack and
Bradley singled, but the latter was
forced by Iieltrick at second. Sprln
lield missed a chance in the ninth o
tie. With one out Gilbert Jumped In
front of one of Horner's Blow ones and
ambled to first. McDonald hit out a
long high one. which Eagan got under.
Shannon cracked one down to third, but
Deitrick accepted the chance and tho
game ended.

of Louisville, Thought to Uj
T.u Routs for Springfield.
Special from a Staff Correspondent.
Springfield. Mass.. May 3. None of
Scranton's new players have arrived
here and it seems likely that tomorrow's
final game with Springfield will be
played with Saturday' nia';e-up. ln-
fielder Hutchinson, of Louisville. Is !
thought to have left there lust night for
the north. Uonmr's terms were ac
cepted Friday night, when McDermott
wired him to report here at once.
Nothing was heard from him and so
McDermott wired him yesterday again.
No reply has been received, but It is
possible he will be here for tomorrow's
game. Negotiations are being kept up
by wire with Power, who Is In Syracuse.
He has not yet hinted that he will play
with Scranton. Mahoney, whose "re
lease McDermott agreed to purchase
from Portland, Me., lives here, but left
Friday night on account of some trou
ble following a tight. His family 're
fuses to reveal his whereabouts.
Springfield seems as weak as It is pos
sible for an Eastern league club to bo
and If Johnson Is put In to win out to
morrow's game, Vignaux will catch
him. The latter, while a weak hitter
and erratic thrower. Is thought by Mc
Dermott to be better than Hess. Ruf
fe ty's arm Is still tied up. Herr. Horn
er and Brown will likely pitch In the
order named at Providence, ' which
means Johnson for the opening? game at
home with Springfield. This has been
a cold, murky, half rainy day, but
there has been no general complaint of
soreness. Many of the men attended
church in the morning und all hands
kept Indoors the remainder of the day.
HORNER'S DELIVERY.
Horner's delivery looks to be about
the easiest thing In the world to solve.
Rarely does he put any steam on. and
he seems to put them all over In a
sort of a I-don't-care-whether-you-hit-It-or-not
kind of a way. His pitching
style Is exactly opposite that of John
son's, yet each Is effective. This sounds
strange, but it can be explained.
Horner throws a slow ball, a twister
which begins to curve the moment It
leaves his hand. Shoots are almost un
known to him. Johnson puts vim Into
his delivery and sends the ball along
so fast that it does not shoot until a
few feet in front of the batsman. Each
style is very effective. A pitched ball
may curve a mile and be easy to hit If
It begins to change its direction when
half way between the pitcher and the
plate. But Horner's and Johnson's are
the two extremes and puzzle the quick
est eyes. Horner's would be the easiest
to pick out. but for his fuculty of "mix;.
Ing" them. Fully one out of every four
of his deliveries Saturday were under
hand throws a way down throw which
seemB to get the ball rising at the rate
of a mile a minute as it goes by the
batsman at a slow horizontal flight.
It was on account of this slow ball that
he Is charged with hitting six batsmen
today. It wasn't his wildness; the
Springfield men purposely got In front
of thein.
Henry Glitter. Springfield's Jolly
Dutchman twlrler, whom Scranton
knocked out of Saturday's game in the
fifth Inning, has pitched but four Inn
ings this year. That was in a recent
practice game. Hawley, the man who
replaced Gruber, is a big, bulky man
from Oberlln college, who twirled last
year In the Iron and OU league. He Is
yet a little raw and wild, and uses near
ly all the time a moderate high speed.
It does not seem that he will be a puzzle
except by his strange and awkward
delivery.
MEANEY'S PREDICTION.
Pat Meaney Isn't given to talking,
but he said today in a quiet and con
scientious talk with McDermott that
Scranton tvlth her four good pitchers,
and possibly the untried Stemmell, and
with the ample heavy-hitting material
for the outfield can surely land In the
first division near the top if the gaps at
tnira, snort and first are filled with
competent men. That's a good deal for
the sober and long-headed Meaney to
say, but The Tribune ugroea with him.
All the Scranton players seem - to
think Providence the hardest nut to
crack this year, but there Is a general
Impression among them, and In Spring-
new, tnut Providence is weak In its
pitching department.
The 1895 pennant, which will fiv from
the Springtield flagstaff every pleasant
day this season, is really an ordinary
thing. It cost maybe $iu, not over that,
which makes a huge joke out of the
clause in the League constitution which
reads that "the chamtlonshlr uennnnt
or trophy shall not cost irlore than $30."
The IS'Jd trophy certainly is worth near
er 50 cents than Ia0. Its body color Is
white and it bears the inscription
Champions. 1SH5," in red letters. The
lingstff is on top of the grandstand, a
pood location, for there the players: can
always See It, and draw encouragement
from It, while the Springfield audiences,
which always Bhare their applause with
the visiting teams, will never see the
emblem while the home club is playing
rockey. In chosing the location for the
flagstaff Manager Burns was foxy.
Ladies are admitted free to the
grounds here every day, excepting hol
idays. Maybe this policy prevails In
Springfield because of the excellent
quality of the audiences. Springfield
claims about 80,000 population, among
whom the foreign-born element will not
exceed, three or four per cent. The
city 19 one of homes and comfort and
has an evident prosperity and general
culture of long-standing, and it is to
this prevailing element that the base
ball association Is obliged to cater. So
In making every duy a ladles' day
here the management docs not Incur the
risk of attracting an undesirable dead
head patronage as might be the cue
under similar circumstances in rougher,
newer and more heterogeneous cities.

A Wilkes-Barre rooter would drop
dead If he witnessed the fairness of
these crowds. The fairness, however.
Is not wholly due to Springfield cranks
but may be In :art attributed to the
fans who come In from Holyoke and
Chlcopee-. the one a large nearby city,
nearly as large as Springfield, and the
other a suburb of seven or eight thou
sand population. The Holyoke and
Chlcopee delegations are always knock-
Lers against the Springfield club. So the
umpire has never any excuse to be
swayed by Springtield partiality. If an
uniMlie is "oueer" here, the cause will
bear investigation.
It is interesting to ante the quiet way
In which Manager Mi-Dermott controls
the pluyers. It is no easy task to create
amustptents for a party of ball tossers
und to kee; them from doing a thou
scntl and one things which interferes
with their strength und nerve and
weans Diem away from a manager's
Inllueiiee. In a strange city they are
i.-eupied with playing duties for not
more than three hours each afternoon.
The remaining twenty-one hours, when
they are tu t sleeving or eating-. ov.ers
great temptation to many kinds of ex
citenunt and diversion which Is not
conducive to good physical condition.
Meanev, Brudjey. FWck. Magulre,
Rafferty and some others are of the
stuld ami steady sort who mty be trust
ed with all manner of liberty. These
do not require much looking ufter. nor
does this Imply that the others' have
to be spotted and hounded into keep
ing themselves stralght-lared. The
team rent-rally Is as susceptible to a
manng-cr's guiding hand as are most
aggregations of nlayers, but they are
human and some of them have human
weaknesses and mlcht be easily led,
but for Manager McDermott's care of
them, , .
A. T. R.
On Saturday the Scranton association
forwarded to Shortstop Hutchinson of
Louisville the moneyi necessary t pay
his transportation to. Springtield and
directed him to rewirt to Manager Mc
Dermott at that place today. In this
city nothing new is known with refer
ence to the Hassamer negotiations.
John H. Brnok9;'-who is In Syrucuse
carrying on the negoflations with Pow
er, was not heard, from yesterday by
bis partners In this city and his success
in landing the captain first baseman is
not known. v
In an Interview The Tribune's staff
correspondent, who Is with the club,
had with Power' at. S.pring'lcld Friday
Power admitted signing a cor -fact with
Manager Kimtsch of, Syracuse last Sep
tember but says.lt vas for the balance
of lin. He doclnrc that he was not
presented with nor forwarded any new:
contract for 1SU6 which should have
been done bv Syracuse to secure the
player's services for this year. On this
latter point hinges the wiiole contro
versy. Knntzsch has proved that he
reserved Power In September, 1M5, but
he will hove to show that he presented
Power with an 1;i6 contract, before he
can ilis'.iose of him. Power rays that
up to March 19, the day his release from
Syracuse was purchased by Scranton,
he had received no message, letter nor
word from the Syracuse munngvr. It
was a week previous to this, he says,
that he submitted his terms to Manager
Burns, of Sminglleld and he; believes
he is obeying the national agreement
by sticking to the Springfield club.
The matter hinges on the nature of
the contract Power slgntul with
Ktintsch. Possibly he signed a '96 con
tract under the Impression that It was
for the balance of '95, but in that event
a lack of knowledge wouldn't save him
and he would have to go to Bcranton.
Up to the time of Power's arrival in
PpriiiBlicld Thursday night after a
Journey from California which lasted
Ave and a half days, he had not learned
of President Young's decision that he
was reserved by Syracuse, that Syra
cuse had the right to sell him to Scran
ton and thnt he must not play else-
U where until Manager Kuutzsch, of
Syracuse, gave the word.
