Very Decided Victory Over Last
Year's Champions.
POI XD TOM JOHXSOX ALL RIGHT
And Wllkee-Harra Keeps on Losing
' Syracuse Gats Back at Toronto and
' Buffalo Drops Its Fourth
Game to Rochester.
It the first aeries of games. whlrh
came to close yesterday, can be taken
as any criterion Bcranton Is going to be
decidedly in It this year.
To take two out of three games from
last year's champions on their own
grounds and with a team that is to be
greatly strengthened, is enough to
make the prospects extremely hopeful.
Wllkes-Uarre could do nothing with
the Providence Grays and Buffalo also
tailed to get a game from Rochester
although It came within an ace of win
ning yesterday. Syracuse and Toronto
alternated in their victories and al
though It would not have been admitted
tt week or two ago the Cannueks are in
shape to do battle with any of them.
The results yesterday shove Spring
Held into fifth 'place and leave Scranton

Mpeclal from a Staff Correspondent.
Springfield. Mass.. -May 4. The
Bprlngfleld players got real saucy In
the second Inning today, when with
two out they made an undeserved run.
Shannon singled und stole second. Lel
trick made an error und a run was
forced In on two Tree gifts of llrst and
an error. Johnson's wlldness was all
that saved the has-been champions
from nine goose eggs. Scrnnton's runs
were of the free gift kind also. The
five In the fifth were made after
chances had been missed by Sprlng
lielc) to retire the side, and the same is
true of the two Scranton runs in the
Heventh.
Johnson was at times as wild as an
uncivilized Zulu. The champions got
their bats against his famous shoots
pretty often and knocked the leather
into all sorts of directions, but the files
were unfortunately placed early In the
game, and later the several hair rais
ing catches by Eagau, Deltrlck and
Chiles spoiled the files that wore mighty
close to being hits.
Scranton's lead, however, did not rob
the game of Interest or uncertainty, as
In every inning but the first and fourth
Springfield had a chance to score.
Scranton had the same opportunities
in only the first and third, so It will be
seen that the game was never mort
gaged. Singles by Meaney. Flack and
Vlgnaux and two errors by Shannon
and one each by Lynch and Huwley,
made Scranton's five runs In the fifth.
VVui'd'g single, two more errors by the
Springfield shortstop and a fiy to the
outfield accounts for the two in the
seventh. In each Inning good base run
ning helped the thing along. The
weather was made to order, but not
over 1,000 persons saw the game. John
son was put In to pitch, as AlcDermott
anticipates anything but a walk-over
dowu at Providence. It was thought
that Johnson's combination of speed
und shoots would fool the Ponies and
he was put in to win, with the teum
back of him as a bluff. It was, how
ever, more of a game lost by Spring
field than a game won by Scranton,
but it was fortunate that Johnson was
wdrked, as tt will serve to curb his
wlldness and put him In steadier form
for the opening game at home. Herr
'could have twirled the game, as this
hot day has loosened his big muscle
bound shoulder, and with another such
day he will be in shape to open at
Providence. Brown and Horner, as
.named, will follow.
THEY EAfcNKD APPLAUSE.
Flack, Ward, Eagan, Deitrich and
Chiles earned the applause they re
ceived for clever field work. The two
former put up a snappy, fast game,
especially Flack who as an outfielder
did splendid Infleldlng. Eagan made
two great running catches and Deltrii h
and Chiles one each.
Springfield, as in the other games,
went first to bat and Leahy sent a slow
on down to Deitrich who handled It
successfully. Two high files to Bradley
ended the inning. For Scranton Ward
flew out to Lynch and Meaney made a
pretty bunt. Chiles popped an easy
one to McDonald, and Eagan was
stopped at first. The Sprlngtlelds got
their only run In the second and didn't
earn It at that. With Gilbert and Mc
Donald out on files to Bradley and
W ard, Shannon pushed a hot bouncer
past Chiles, stole second and got third
on Deltrleh's fumble of Uunsou's
grounder. With two on bases and
three balls and one strike on Inks. John
son preferred to let him walk and pur
posely gave him four wide ones, forc
ing Gun&on to second und filling the
bones.
Johnson overestimated his control
however, and the best he could do was
to present Hawley, a weak hitter with
a walk to first forcing Shannon home,
lnkb was caught nauuins-
In the last half, Flack and Bradley

fanned. Will) one out in the third
Sehefller hit safely. Lynch's out at
first advanced Scheiller a bag. Gilbert
hit terrifically to deen loft and Eagan
got it on the run. Two Scrantonians
had ben disposed of when Ward
rapied a double down the left foul line
but Meaney sent hi easy fly to Shan
non. Two flies to E.iuhii and Bradley
and Deitrlch's assist to Chiles made
short work of the ponli-s in the fourth.
Spi'lnKhfld dlsnsed of Scranton almost
as quickly. Chiles was retired at first
but Eugan reached It safely. He was
nipped trying to steal second. Flack
fiew out to center.
SCRANTON'S BEST WORK.
Scranton's best field work was In the
tilth when six frisky ponies faced the
pitcher but failed to tally. Inks led off
in a business-like way by hlttlnir down
along the left foul line. Hawley
smashed a bouncer down to Flack who
stopped It and feinted. Inks back on
third and got the ball to first in time
to stop the runner. Leahy hit one
down on the ground ami Johnson
blocked It. Inks had started for home
but was retired on see saw assists
among Johnson, Deitrich ami Vignnux
the latter getting the put out. Leahy,
meanwhile, had sneaked to third. John
son purposely walk.nl Scheiller to first,
and for the second time overestimated
his control ns Lynch drew four wide
ones und filled the circuit. Gilbert
punched a fast grounder to Flack who
gut the ball to WurU 111 lime to stop
L.yncn and it tire the side.
Then came the chuiunioiis' Waterloo.
Bradley was Hist up und put a hot shot
down to Shannon, who Mopped It nicely
but threw luw to first, Deltrlck tunned.
Vlgnaux singled advancing Bradley to
third. The Frenchman stole second,
and Hawley later threw wild to catch
him nupping, Hradley coming home and
French reaching third. Lynch made an
error of Johnson's fly near the foul line.
Ignaux roniliitr home. Ward was re
tired at first. Meniiey hit a pretty liner
to left, scoring Johnson. Meaney came
In on Chiles' iwo bagger. Shannon's
fumble of Eagan's grounder und
Flark's line hit to Blun t center, scored
Chiles and left two on bates. Bradley
struck out. In 'the sixth two ponies
were out on Infield assists. Gunson
drew four bulls but was forced by Inks
at second. Deitrich wns hit by pitch
er, but was the first out on the double
play following the Frenchman's ground
er to Shannon. Jonnsoii didn't reach
lii st. Huwley :ened the seventh for
Springfield by fouling it.
CLOSE OF THE FKAV.
Leahy hit to short right. Schelfler
fiew out to Engan and Lynch went out
from Ward to Chiles. Two unearned
runs were secured In the Scranton half.
Ward singled mid should have been
forced by Meaney, but Shannon fumbled
nnd both runners were safe. Shan
non erred again by his low throw to
retire Chiles at first and Ward scored
Meaney reaching third. Eugan fouled
out. Flack flew out to center and
Meaney scored. The bases filled on
bases on balls to Bindley and Deitrich,
but Frenchlo got the flutters and struck
out. Gilbert got to first on balls In
the eighth, but was forced by Shannon
at second, after McDonald had fanned.
Deitrich s fine running catch of Gun-
son's foul hit spoiled another of Spring
field's numerous chances to score.
Johnson Hew out to Gilbert In the last
hnlf, Ward was mopped at first and
Meaney Hew out to Lynch. Springfield
missed the last chance in the ninth,
two were out and Leahy had walked to
first and reached second on Seheftler's
single when Lynch flew out to Meaney.

CASE 4F TOM POWEK.
.Manor Will lie Settled Definitely by the
tnd of the Week.
John II. Brooks returned from Syra
cuse yesterday afternoon and reported
that It would not be known until the
end of the week whether or not Tom
Power will play with Scranton. Mr.
Brooks hud several conferences with
Manager Kuntzsch and Power during
which all phases of the case were dis
cussed. .Manager Kuntzsch says this: Power
was regularly signed by Syracuse for
the season of 1SD6; he was also regu
larly sold to Scranton and must play
In this city or nowhere. Until he makes
up his mind to do so he can warm a
bench.
Power persistently declares thut he
did not know that he was signing a '96
contiact, If he did sign such an Instru
ment, and after waiting until after
March 1 and receiving no contract from
Syracuse he thought himself at liberty
to sign elsewhere and accepted Spring
field's terms a week before he was sold
to Scranton. Inasmuch as he accepted
Springfield's terms and kept Manager
Burns from filling the position of first
base, Power thinks he is morally; If not
legally, bound to play In Springfield.
He has no objections to Scranton, and If
his pledge to Manager Burns, of the
Ponies, did not cause him to hesitate,
would don a Scranton uniform at once.
Air. Brooks Is of the opinion that If
Tower does not come to Scranton of
his own free will and without coercion
they do not want him. A player whose
heart would not be in his work would
not be u desirable acquisition to the
club,
Scranton baseball enthusiasts are not
saying much but many of them are
wondering If after all Power Is worth
nil the time, energy and money that has
been expended In trying to land htm.
Hutchinson was supposed yesterday
by the local baseball men to be on his
way to Springfield but The Tribune's
special dis'mtches from that city show
that he hns not arrived there. Bonner.
too, was supposed to be on his way to
Join McDermott's clan. All hopes of
securing Hussamer have been aban
doned. His terms were outrageously
high.

NOTHING HEARD FROM BONNER
Belief That Brooklyn la JugtUnc
Mabsncy, the Catcher. Is Not With
the Team-Not l.lkcly to
Be Signed.
Special front a Staff Correspondent.
Springfield. Mass., May 4. The team
leaves here tomorrow morning for
Providence. Hutchinson has not re
ported and nothing has been heard
from Brooklyn relative to Mi Dermott's
acceptance of Bonner's and the Brook
lyn club's terms. As Bonne had not
participated in the negotiations. It Is
supposed the Brooklyn management Is
juggling. Power wired tonight from
Syracuse the rather Indefinite Informa
tion that he had explained matters to
Mr. Brooks. Vignaux will be dropped
here and Kai'terty will begin to catch
tomorrow. A telegram tonight from
Mahoney. the ex-Portlander. says he
cannot join the team now. Tomorrow's
make-up will be the same us today.
The possibility that Mahoney will be
signed by McDermott is slight, and. if
signed, the possibility ofNhls being re
tained seems slighter. As related in
yesterday's dispatch, Mahuiiey left here
because of his mix-up In u light. The
fellow who was whipped threatens to
have Mahoney arrcstol whenever he
steps foot In the city. That Is bad. but
what Is worse. It is learned from
sources that are heeded that Mahoney's
arm Is gone. McDermott believes this
report to be exaggerated, as Mahoney
last season was as good as any catcher
In the New England, and Is not with
Portland now because he und Manager
Leonard hud a flare-up. Mahoney's
family still refuses to reveal his where
abouts, but McDermott Is between the
devil and sea In the matter anyhow, us
he Is frightened by the glass arm story
and disturbed by the possibility of Ma
honey's being arrested In case he should
visit Springfield with the Scranton
club.
PLAYERS DETERMINED.
This morning dawned warm and
bright. All truces hud disappeared of
the
Sabbath's cold, dump and dreary
weather and all hands were glad of the
possibility of a game. There wus u feel
ing thut while Scranton was weakened
by Its emergency Infield. Springfield
wns weaker, not only In Its fielding
strength but In its pitching and batting
us well. The men went Into the final
game with the belief that they would
win and thus be fortified with .li7 per
cent, on opening with Providence. They
made good their belief to the great
chagrin of Manager Burns and his
Ponies.
It seems a pity that Scranton was
not permitted to open th seuscn with
a stronger infield. In such case the
first game would surely have been won.
It is annoying the permanent players
ns much as it Is McDermott. With un
Intact Infield Ward, Meaney, Eagan and
Chiles feel that. Scranton can bat or
field out almost uny game with the ft Id
of whfit is unquestionably as good a
corps of pitchers as Is contained in any
club In the league.
It Is hard o understand why Ward
Is a favorite here, but lie Is. However,
the reason seems to rest with the good
nature of Springfield audiences rather
than with the senator himself. A
Springfield man or woman gncs to u
game with much the same object that
he or she would go to the theater to
be amused.- Seeing the home club win
appears to bo a sort of secondary ob
ject. The uudiences want first to be
amused, and so the spectators take good
naturedly Ward's hanteiinrr and Jelly
ing of the home players. When Wnrd
opens his nines In other towns It Is nn
Invitation for hard-feeling and perhaps
hisses, but Springfield likes it.
MEANEY A FAVORITE.
Meaney, too, Is a prime favorite, but
his popularity Is solely on account of
all-around good playing, in the open
ing game Friday he was unplauded
when first lie came to but and he was
accorded the same recognition there
after whenever he participated in a
play or secured a hit. Eagan Is another
well-liked player. His I-dun't-care
way of trotting under a high fly or of
sauraTrlng up to the plate and smash
ing the ball Is not lost on the knockers.
Eagan is a better player than a mu
sician, although he is by common con
sent the acknowledged chorister and
pianist of the gang. Unfortunately
some of the players discovered the
piano In one of the Hotel Russell par
lors and Pete was forthwith hunted up
and deposited on the stool thereof. The
music (? that ensued seemed to satis
fy the club, but It gave everyone else
In the house the flutters. Pitu has un
car for treble but his method leads
him to play one bass chord for all keys
and all airs, and maybe that's why one
of the hotel clerks yesterday sent a bell
boy to the parlor to announce, to the
company there assembled that the
guests of the house opposed all but
sacred music on the Sabbath. Pete
had been regaling himself with 'Ta-ra-
ra Itoom-de-ay, ' O, Uncle John, etc.,
hut he politely heeded the boll boy's re
quest and drifted off into "Onward,
Christian Soldiers" and "Hold the
Fort." The' themes were all right, but
Pete, unfortunately, was not; he con
tinued to hammer at the same old buss
key. Probably this accounted for the
second and final message from the hotel
office that "a lady was 111 on the fourth
floor and must have quiet." This mes
sage was delivered by a big, husky
porter, and not a bell boy. His porter
ship locked the piano.
M'DERMOTT'S METHODS.
To control his men, McDermott ap
pears to depend first on his own tx
ample, which is good, and next on sug
gestions and gentle arguments rather
than commands and harangues. So
nearly always, even though their man
ager has negatived some, proposed
jaunt or amusement, the men are In
goud spirits and in a frame of mind
whkh would make them think of duty
and their contract obligations before

entering upon some pastime which they
know would no: be approved by their
manager. For instunce. the other night
three of the fun-loving players saunt
ered out on the hotel porch after sup
per. Each had his overcoat and seemed
prepared for some Jaunt of a few hours.
"Where now. boys." said McDermott.
"Oh. JU3t uo to Forest park for a
little while."
"I'm: pretty chilly night for the iark.
ain't it? There won't be many peopU;
out I guess," commented the manager.
"Well." said one of the trio, "it's bet
ter than knocking around here. Too
quiet indoors."
"Quitt?" Why you ought to drop
back in the billiard room and see 'Dude'
Magulre doing Hess and Rafferty at
billiards. They're on the third game
now. Maguire has won two nlready
and lless and Rat are crazy. They've
got the whole mom going. Henr 'em?"
Just then there came the sound of the
click of balls followed by a roar of
laughter. Maguire hud made his forty
eleventh scratch and the crowd was
kidding him.
"Yes. we tried to sturt a four-handed
game awhile ngo but Ave couldn't find
the fourth man," said one of the Forest
Park party.
"You couldn't?" said Mac. "you ought
to see me play the game. Come on now.
I'll give two of you fellows u chance
to do .your manager." Somebody grum
bled, but the three followed McDermott
to the billiard room. The game was
started and the gang got around and
rooted against the manager. It was a
close game and scratches were numer
ous (Ward called them "Texas lea
guers"!. McDermott nnd his partner
won. Anyhow, three more guiitts were
played and when the fun was over at
.3l o'clock everybody was light-hearted
and ready for bed.
McDermott had spoiled the Forest
Park trip but there were no hard feel
lugs uboiit it.
CHILES' BED FELLOW.
Chiles was once a cowboy. He Is a
big, fearless, rough fellow but has a
simple, kind-hearted nature which
makes him the proper subject for all
munner of jokes. Someone put a dead
eel In his bed lust night. His yell at
the moment his body came In contact
with the cold and slimy object created
a temporary uproar on the floor on
which Chiles und the other players'
rooms ure situated. It Is not known
who put the eel In Chiles' bed, but be
fore an hour hud elapsed the' bed of
every player contained for a few sec
onds tlial.seir-sume eel. The fun would
probably be going on yet, but the whole
house was finally moused und the ho
tel clerks ended the noise by confiscat
ing his eclshlp.
Chiles, the first and most seared vic
tim of the eel Joke Is known by the
pretty liickliumes of "Ole Hoss," "Cow
Puncher." "Texas Jack" and "Jesse
James." "Dude" Muguire once called
Chiles "I.a Lolo Fuller" but the gang
Isn't quite educated to the point where
they cun appreciate the graceful title.
