OLD-FASHIONED GAME,
-9
The Wilkes-Barre Alligators Didn't Have
Time to Tell How It Happened.
They Were Badly Beaten.
It wns a rreat old (ratue. "One of the
old-fashioned panics," Latham tiald. and
It wns little wonder that the crowd went
crazy and yelled and cheered and por
spired and did a great many other fool
ish thiiBH. when, with Wllkes-Earre
three runs velvet, nine Scrantonlnns
shot across the plate in one Inning nnd
seven did likewise In the next.
In one Inning- the Alligators had rolled
In five runs and Rot ther lead on John
son's error ofter a chnnce missed to re
tire the side. So when Yerrlek, the
Wilkes-Barre pitcher, and the team be
hind him went to pieces, everybody
broke loose, Including the small boy and
substantial citizen. The fact that a
very rocky trame wait being witnessed
was lost sight of In the glory of seeing
Wllkes-Barre get It where Gertrude
wore her coral necklace. And Wllkes
Barre got It In just that place, thanks to
Mr. Terrick's wildness, to Mr. Keenan's
tempting curves and to a few other
things which took place In the turbulent
game and to record which a vltascope
could have been better used than pencil
and paper.
OAFFNEY WAS ABSENT.
Aa usual, there occurred the hitch
which always prevails in a game with
Wllkes-Barre. Umpire Oaffney didn't
materialize, and Larry Ketrlck was
agreed upon to conduct the entertain
ment. He did it and he did It well, not
, withstanding the inclination of the pau
per bleacherltes and bloated grand
standers to disagree with him. It hap
pened that early in the game there was
an unusual number of close decisions
and nearly all were In Wllkes-Barre's
favor. The crowd wanted Ketrlck to
see things differently, but he had his
eyes and head with him and was fair
and correct. He umpired to suit him
self and Inasmuch as he was In the
right, there was no occasion for criticis
ing him.
Scranton for the first time presented
something like a civilized make-up.
"Sandy" Griffin wns in center field,
which permitted Meaney to resume his
regular stamping ground In right and
allowed a strong Infield arrangement.
Wllkes-Barre was crippled by the ab
sence of Catcher Dlggins. whose knee
' was so badly hurt In Wednesday's game
that he will probably not be able to pluy
until next week. Wente was back of
the plate.
First inning-Singles by Latham,
Hutchinson and Ward scored two
' earned runs. With one out the Alliga-
tors filled the bases on a fumble and
bad throw by Hutchinson, a fumble by
Masulre and an almost pardonable muff
by Griffin after a long run toward the
fence. Scissors Earl approached the
Plato with an I'll-knock-the-ball-to-'Frisco-and-clear-the-bases
look in his
eye but he hit the ball to the ground
and Johnson assisted to Rafferty, and
Kafftrty to Ward, making a clean,
snappy double and retiring the side,
' Score 2-0.
Second inning A base on balls to
ItalTerty, Mogulre's bunt, Johnson's
sacrifice nnd Ward's single gave Scran
ton two more tallies. The same number
was scored by the Alligators on two
two-fcngrers and a single. Score 4-2.
, Third InningWard hit one into the
' group of carriages in left field and made
three bases. Grlffln, the next man up,
hit a long, fast drive over Lyttle's head
to the fence and made the circuit with
several yards to spare. 6-2.
. WE LOST THE LEAD.
Fourth Inning Scranton failed to get
a hit. With one out Magulre fumbled
; Yerrick's grounder and Johnson missed
a chance to begin a sure double play by

in succession and resulted in Ave runs
before two strike-outs retired the side.
Score, -7.
Fifth inning Scranton again failed to
score, but a base on balls, following a
two-bagger, a force hit and Betts'
triple pushed two Alligators over the
plate. Score, 6-9.
Sixth inning This witnessed the pass.
Ing of Pitcher Yerrick. He had in five
innings walked live men to first, and
he continued his wildness by giving
Latham four wtld ones and hitting
Hutchinson. A force hit and McMahon s
error filled the bases. Yerrick gave
Word and Griffin each four wide ones
and forced In two runs. At this point
Yerrick was taken out of the box and
Keenon substituted. Singles by Eagan
and Rafferty, Magulre's sacrifice, John
son's single and Hutchinson's home
run contributed seven more runs, nine
In all. Wilkes-Barre went out one-two-three.
Score, 15-9.
Seventh inning Scranton scored
seven times on live hits for eight bases,
a base on balls and errors by Wente and
Enrte. Score, 22-9.
Neither side scored In the last two
Innings. Betts pitched for Wllkes-Barre

Baltimore lost its grip on first place
yesterday by being soundly walloped
by Cleveland, the latter taking the lead.
The champions could do nothing with
Cuppy'sdcliveiy.butmadeerrors enough
to allow Cleveland to land an easy vic
tory. Philadelphia defeated Pitts
burg in the most exciting game played
in Philadelphia this season. Poor
coaching was the cause of Brooklyn's
shut out by Cincinnati. St. Louis
could do nothing with Campbell, New
York's new pitcher and the ex-Wllkes-Barrean.

COLLEGE TEAMS DEPART.
Georgetown Men Breakfasted by
Bishop O'llara.
Both of the college base ball teams
left the city yesterday morning for their
respective Institutions. expressing
themselves as much pleased with their
stay in Scranton and desirous of com
ing again next year.
Rt Rev. Bishop O'Hara. who Is the
oldest living student of Georgetown,
having entered in 1833, gave a break
fast in honor of the Georgetown team
yesterday morning.
Diamond dust.
Toronto here tomorrow.
No games are scheduled for today.
Currlnges will not be allowed on the
grounds In future.
Two singles, a double, a bunt and a
sacrifice was Magulre's record at bat.
Baltimore made seven errors yesterday
and Chicago five there la still hope left
for Scranton.
The Syracuse world-beaters, Rellly and
Carey, do not shine very brightly In the
May averages.
Kid Leewe, the little blonde-haired Buf
falo shortstop, has been benched, Rltchey
taking his place.
When Griffin returned to the bench after
making his home run he was given a
hand-shake by Mr. Brooks and Mr. Wimp
son. Catcher Berger was in uniform yester.
dayq. He Is not as heavy aa he was last
year and loeks to be in fine trim. With
the proper kind of Influence he should be
able to do some good backstop work or ill
an emergency gap.
If tho average umpire of the league was
as good as Ketrlck there would be fewer
changes on President Power's staff. A
home umpire is the worst kind of an um
pire, and Larry Isn't that kind of an ar
ticle. We salute Mr. Ketrlck.
Grlffln Is due the consideration of a first
appearance. Watch him when he gets ac.
customed to new surroundings and shakes
oil' that queer feeling which takes pos
session or all players wno have to submit
to the bickerings of the Wllkes-Barre di
rectorate. Hurley, who played left field for George,
town in the game won from Cornell here
Wednesday, will sign with 8prln&fleld the
last of the month when he graduates from
college. His home Is in Philadelphia.
New York and Boston are said to have
wanted him.
A reversal In form is in no way remark
able for the Phillies. For years they have
played Just this very kind of ball. Strong
at home, weak when abroad. Now win
ning everything in sight, and then taking
a losing streak, and being beaten by de.
splsed tall-enders. Such is the uncer
tainty of base ball.
There seems to be some doubt about
the release of Grlffln to Scranton. His
sale by Manager Chapman Is approved
by only a minority of tho Wilkes-Barre
directors. However, the Scranton man
agement has Grlffln'3 release paper signed
by Chapman and It does not seem likely
that the deal can be set aside.
Many changes have taken place In the
Springfield team. Ollle Smith, the re
leased Syracuse outfielder, has been signed
and will go to center, and Tommy Leahy
will alternate with Coogan behind the
bat until Gunson's finger heals. Spring
field has also signed Third Baseman Wer
rick, of the Western league, which means
that Gilbert will go back to first. Pitchers
Hawley and Jordan and Inflelder Davis
have been released. It Is expected that
Boston will soon send Tenny back to the
The Orioles now occupy the best position
In the pennant race that they have ever
occupied at this time. In 1891, the first
year they won the pennant, they stood
fifth on Decoration Day, with the leaders
far ahead. Last year they stood sixth
and were 128 points behind Pittsburg,
which then led. At that time McMahon
was not pitching, Esper nor Hemming
were not In good condition. Relts was not
well, nor was McGaw. Hotter was the
only standby in the box. Now the club
has McMahon. Hotter, Pond, Esper, Hem
ming and Clarkson, all pitching winning
ball, and the team strengthened on first
and second bases.
Because "Little Jack" Horner's curves
were so freely, hit Tuesday afternoon , he
should not be condemned too early. He
entered the box at a critical moment when
the bases were full and without any
warming up. So it was little wonder that
Dlggins wns able to open up with a two
bagger and less wonder that the pitcher
lost his nerve when he saw the bases al
most cleared. Tho reports published In
Philadelphia papers that Horner's arm Is
glassy are incorrect. He has had every
thing against him and nothing in his fa
vor In nearly every one of his games.
Worse pitchers than Horner have sprout
ed well orter a bad beginning and The
Tribune will not be surprised to see him
show up strong In his future games.
It Is wrong to crltlse Umpire Oaffney's
decision In awarding Wilkes-Barre by a
score of 9 to 0 the game scheduled for
Tuesday. Whether 3.45 or 4 o'clock was
the hour for beginning the game has no
bearing on the case ns far as Gaffney is
concerned. He could do nothing but de
clare the game forfeited to Wllkes-Barre,
but solely, however, on Manager Chap
man's declaration that he was notified by
Captain Hutchinson at 3.45 o'clock that
It was time to begin the game. Gaflncy's
decision was right If Manager Chapman's
declaration was right; If Oaffney was
wrong, It must be shown that Manager
Chapman was wrong. In connection with
the case It is claimed by Oaffney that he,
too, was notified by Captain Hutchinson
at 3.45 o'clock that Scranton was ready to
play. It lacked but a minute or two be
fore 4 o'clock when the balls arrived. It is
not easy to consent to give Wllkes-Barre
the earth or a portion of it, but In this
case the devil, even, must be given his
due.
The Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer says of
Wednesday's game which Soranton won
from tho Alligators: "It was Scranton's
turn and tho Babies were done brown. To
give the Indians their due they outplayed
the home team at every point, putting
up a sharp, clean game and going at the
work before them all the time. The Ba
bies played listlessly, as if It was a fore
gone conclusion when Harper went In the
box that they could not win. Harper
pitched a strong game and the seven hits
the Babies managed to get were scat,
tered through as many Innings. They
could not bat Harper a lttle bit, sending
up weak little files or easy Infield hits.
When the ball did go to the outfield the
sharp fielding prevented It doing much
good. Eagan and Meaney cut oft two
long hits by splendid catches, covering
the field better than half o. dozen Pop
Lytles could have done. The old man
was lamentably slow. If he did get start
ed after a fly ball he would stop before
he got up to it and wait for It to come
on the bound. He could easily have
nipped off a couple of runs by sharp field
ing." AMATEUR BALL NOTES.

ADVICE TO MINORS.
John B. Dny Writes a Public Letter
to Amateur Base Bull Players.
Following Is a circular letter from
John B. Day, agent of the board of
arbitration, to all organized base ball
bodies, which fully explains itself:
Almost every day I learn of pew leagues
organizing and playing in this country
or In Canada.
While I endeavor to reach them all
by letter I fear It is almost impossible
to do so; therefore, I avail myself of a
medium by which I am sure to attain
the desired result. It Is an established
fact that the progressive newspapers of
our country reach every one In It, and
also residents of Canada; therefore, I
can communicate with each and every
one "if these associations.
I wish to assure all of them that It Is
advisable that they become members
under the national agreement without
delay, as If they do not pre-empt their
territory there will be danger of losing
it; but if they delay some other organi
zation may apply for the territory they
consider their own and possibly wrest
It from them, as the first applicant will
undoubtedly have first call. It is only
necessary to file an application, with a
few formalities, with either Mr. Young
or myself. No one will be required to
state where they purchase un forms, as
it docs not matter at all
After the classification Is decided up
on the payment' of the protection fee
completes the transaction and the ter
ritory will remain to those securing it.
Within two years it will be as difficult
to secure some of these minor league
franchises as it is now to secure a
league franchise, which would be al
most. If not quite Impossible.
I Intend during the coming season
to compile a full record of players em
ployed by each club plnylng under the
national agreement; this record will In
clude the position, age, height, and, so
far as possible, habits and character
istics of each player. When completed
this will be at the disposal of all base
ball managements and will, I believe,
become almost Invaluable r,a the rec
ords of the game develop.
The new national agreement Is to
base ball what the first pair of pants Is
to the small boy when the pants are
on we all know It Is a boy, and we see
the coming man. How vividly one re
membr8 deonnlng his first pants; how
full of ambition he suddenly becomes;
how rapidly he seems to grow In a few
minutes.
The great national game has now
discarded swaddling clothes, dresses,
etc. Under the new agreement its de-

tremens, has, in behalf of humanity, made
known his frightful experience. His writ
ten statement, which is attracting wide
spread attention, says: "For thirty-six
years I chewed, smoked, snurtod and
rubbed snun till my skin turned a tobacco
brown and cold, attcky perspiration eosed
from my skin, and trickled down my back
at the least exertion or excitement. My
nerve, vigor and my life were alowly
sapped. 1 had to quit tobacco or die. 1
tried to stop time and again, but could
not. I saw double and my memory was
beyond control, still I knew how to chew
and amoke, which I did all day, until my
system got tobacco-soaked again. Final
ly I gave up In despair.
"Now, for sufTcring humanity. Til tell
what saved my life. Providence brought
to my good wife's attention a booklet
called: 'Don't Tobacco Spit and 8moke
Your Life Away!' What a sermon and
warning In these words) Just what I was
doing. It told about a guaranteed cure
for the tobacco habit, called No-To-Bac.
I sent to Druggist Hosier for a box. With
out a grain of faith 1 spit out my tobacco
cud and put into my mouth a little tablet
upon which was stamped No-To-Bac. I
took eight tablets the first day, seven the
next, five the third day, and all the nerve
creeping restlessness and mental depres
sion was gone. It seemed too good to be
true. I used one box. It cost me 81, and it
Is worth a thousand. I gained ten pounds
In weight, and lost all desire for tobacco
from the first day. 1 sleep and eat well,
end have been benefitted in more ways
than I can tell. There's happiness In No.
To-Bac for the prematurely old men who
think as I did that they are old and worn
out, when tobacco is the thing that de
stroys their vitality and manhood.
"No-To-Bac Is sold under a guarantee
to cure, by all driiEBists."

velopment and advancement will be by
giant strides.
So confident am I of the strength and
developing power of the new agree
ment I Intend to supply each minor
league player with a copy of It, so that
the player may know how greatly its
Interests are enhanced by It.
He can also see how small and utter
ly unworthy are the Insinuations that
have been thrown out about it by some
of those who will profit most by It.
Once more I will say to those having
a franchise unprotected, no matter how
valueless it may seem to be, don't de
lay In making application for protec
tion by wire or letter, and thus Becure
It, as otherwise It may be lost to you.
The cost Is almost nothing In com
parison to its value. John B. Day.
THE FACE IN ILLNESS.
To the Trained Eye It Quickly Shows
a Patient's Condition.
From the Trained Nurse.
The face is a good index to the state
of one's physical being, and from It
symptoms of disease can be detected
almost before the patient Is awaro that
anything serious Is the matter with
him. For Instance, Incomplete closure
of the eyelids, rendering the whites of
the eyes visible during sleep, Is a symp
tom in alll acute and chronic diseases of
a severe type; It is also to be observed
when rest Is unsound from pain, wher
ever seated.
Twitching of the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation of the eyeballs, j.r
squinting, heralds the visit of convul
sions. Widening of the orifices of the nose,
with movements of the nostrils to and
fro, point to embarrassed breathing
from disease of the lungs or their plur
al Investment.
Contraction of the brows indicate pain
In the head; sharpness of the nostrils,
pain in the chest, and a drawn upper
lip, pain In the abdomen.
To make a general rule. It may be
stated that the upper third of the face
Is altered in expression In actions of
the brain, the middle third, in the dis
eases of the organs contained in the
abdominal cavity.
