Special (0 the Seranton Tribune.
I'urboiidale, May IN. Although the
weather was very iiire.neniiiR quite u
large niiinber of people witnessed the
game between Carboiidalc und York
fills iiftcrnoon. The visitors made no
showing against our heavy hitters,
however. 11 ml the game was not close
enough to make it Interesting.
York played a good gnnie in the Held,
nlUluugh the pitching was very weak,
and our men fattened tip their batting
u'veniKC nt the expense of the visitors.
O'Oara pitched for the home team and
held York down to live hits. He was a
little wild at times, but Ills form Is Im
proving iitpldly, und with more experi
ence will be a good 11111 11. Hess, on the
other hand, wasn't in il at all. Twen
ty-live clean hits were ninde from his
delivery, two and ihroe-hugsers being
the order of the game.
Rafter, our new right llelder. and
catcher, attracted much attention dur
ing the game by his fine playing. He Is
an excellent batter, having five hits to
his credit out of six times at bat. He
runs like a titer, too, und was the only
niun to steal uny base yesterday. Score:

Hi low apviears the batting and field
ing averages of the Seianlun pluyers up
to and Including last Saturday's game
nt Toronto. The ligures are of llttlo
value now. as players rurely aret down
to their averaice playing before the end
of June or first of July. Then, too. the
averages are unfair to the players who
have participated In a large number of
games as against those who have ap
peared In only a few. This is shown in
the case of I'.rown, whose hitting shows
.F.00 percent in four games, while Ward.
ICagan. Menney und Hutchinson, who
have played from ten to thirteen games,
have hit not higher than .370. The same
applies to the Held work. MuKliire and
Kasrun being found near the bottom of
the list, while they will during the next
few weeks pull themselves up to fair
averages In their respective positions.
It will nlso he found that Tom Power's
controlling head will be another Influ
ence toward better Held work. Ward,
the rankest kind of a fpiitter when
things don's go his way; Alaguire, who
has not yet had the opportunity to
show what a fast lirtle man he is;
Hutchinson, and the entire team will
gain new life through Power's Inlluencc.

White, of Koehester, and Schrlver
mid .Smith, of Seranton. were the only
'llii Eastern league catchers whoBff aver
ages were lower than Rafl'erty's aver
age now. Ward Is .007 per cent, lower
than Ills finish last year. Seven third
basemen last year made better avcr
ugos than .Magulre's .Sua, while Pete
Sweeney of last year's Seranton and
Hot hester clubs was the only shortstop
who did worse than Hutchinson is at
presi nt.
While the dull has been, and Is, per
haps, in u disoigunized stute owing to
its weaidiesH at Hrst and bchimrthe
pltite. Hie pitching corps ulsi is giving
no little cause for worry. If i-y. Heir's
urni is not lame he will within a month
be us good us liny of the Hrst-class
pitchers In the leugue; If It is a lame
arm that's troubling him hp cannot be
cast aside too quick, und the latter up
pears to be the correct view of the case.
It is so indicated at hast In the two
games when he was slaughtered by
Providence and Toronto. It Is also said
Hint Horner's arm has gone wrong.
Tile probabilities, however, nre that
Horner's trouble Is only temporary. In
nny case Seranton is in a bad way It
Johnson und Brown are the only pitch
ers In good condition.
Meanwhile he owners arc not taking
chances by waiting to Bee if tile title
will turn. 1 will not be later than
Wednesduy that John H. Brooks, of the
association, will pack his grip and start
on a still limit with the utiderstandlnff
fbtil be slum remain away until he is
successful in getting proper material.
Scruiitim is angling for two pitchers
und one of two Inlielders who are now
benched by two National leugue clubs,
To gel one or more of the three Mr.
Hrooks w III surely make the trip, unless
certain deals now pending arc closed.
Another change Is hinted by the owners
which w ill be laid before Munaifcr Mc-
Dermott when the club returns. It In
Volvos 11 possible trade with a National
league club ami will surprise the crunks
If it goes ihrough.
e
What Often will prove to be as a
strengthening catcher remains to be
seen. He averaged up lii the middle of
the list of National league backstops
last year in lleldlng.hut hit only .23:1. lit;
wns secured through President Hums
of the Ncwnrks. Hiirns claimed that
otten wus too high-priced for the At
lantic league. Nothing was puld to
secure hlui, as he hud not signed a
Newurk contract. There renin Ins the
possibility that something is wrong
with his arm, but that Is a contingency
which may lie risked under present cir
cumstances. a m
A trade of dates has been made
whereby the gumes scheduled for
