fence this season and it does not aeem
likely that the feat will be repeated.
CHANGE OP BATTERIES.
Johnson lasted five inning and in
the sixth Zeidler. the trial first base
man, entered the box, and Outcalt, the
experimental catcher, was put In to
eaten. Six of tiie r.-ven hits made off
Zeidler took place in the eighth.
Ward was at his old stamping
ground at second and Hutchinson cov
ered lirHt. The change was a popular
one and Ward's two errors did not
change that opinion. :
Oaunon, on the ether hand, was a
problem which the Karons never un
raveled. Only in the second and eighth
chapter were as many as two hits made
oi? him and his control was splendid
from the start. The support given him
was almost faultless. Smith doing tcme
steady bp.ck-stopyiing and gatheiing in
three hiirh fouls. liitchey accenting all
j of his four difficult chances nr.d Grom-
miriKer. doing some fast work nt third.
fVranton's first run was on Grem
nilPirir's fumble and Ward's two bag
ger. The run In the second was earned
by Kagun's double, Magulre's single and
an outfield l!y.
Ituffalo won from tiie call of p!ay, scor
ing four in the first on two bases on
bnlls, a double, a single and Mui;uire's
error. In the second they earned two of
the three i un.-i on the two hunters by
C'!yr.:er and Wise, a bane on balls and a
single.
Jn the fifth a bunt, Ward's fumble, an
ouliicld tiy and two single netted three
runs and Jchnron threw up the sponge.
THAT COLT IIATTKUY.
The elongnt-tl Zcidh-r and his German
vuy.r.lng met entered the points In the
sl:;tii wh 'ii a Hindi?. Nnney's error and
n life netted a u;u. The Tusons secured
four sinsles, a triple and a double and
made f.uw" earned runs In the eighth.
In the ninth the P-Ihoiih went out one,
two, three at first.

Pitcher .Mularkey, who spent the winter
In tills city with relatives. Is doing good
work for the Uichmuii.l club. .Main hey
was on the lo-crve list of the Washington
team of th X.-.tioaal, but foon after the
opening tf the season he was sold to
Richmond. His good work In the box
has taken the former capital of the con
federacy by storm. In dcccrlhing his work
in a recent game when Richmond phut
out Norfolk a Richmond exchange says;
"la a way Melarkey's performanco lias
not been equalled In this city and it is
safe to say that many moons will wax
and wane before any other twlrlsr will
excul or even, efiual It. There were nine
Innings and jost tweidy-nine men faced
Malarkcy. Only three hits were made off
of him and l-.vo of tliee were of (he
scratch order, while not a single one of the
visitors had the pleasure of putting their
foet on third base. One wild pitch and one
base on balls were his only offences and
these he more than redeemed by a long
two-bagger to right. These things did
Mularkey yesterday and all honor was
bis, and he can yet have half of Richmond
and nil the free lunch he can eat."

The monthly business meeting of the
Green liliige whclmen occurred Tues
day evening. A committee was ap
pointed te make arrangements for the
club's annual excursion. It was ulso
unanimously decided to hold n. race meet
some time during the latter part of JtiTy.
An exeiutlve committee of three was
appointed with pawtr to select such
Mib-corr.mlttecs a.' necessary to prop
erly conduct the Meet. The Green
Rl Jge boys lost money last year on their
races, the wtather being against them,
but they are confident that there are
enough wheelmen and lovers of good
clean sport In this city and vicinity to
make tills year's meet a grand success.
There Is no reason why It should not bo
so, as c.tli'r c ities not half the size of
Scranton are able to support three or
four meets each Reason and this city
should certainly support mie.
The West Side Wheelmen, though
only n few weeks old, mustered twenty
five uniformed riders In a club run to
Moscow lr.st Sunday. If this club con
tinues to Increase us rapidly as It has
since Its organization, it bids fair to at
tain a membership second to no other
bicyc le club In the city before the close
of the season.
'
We will soon have two real' bicycle
factories In our city Marker Eros.,
the Bcale manufacturers. . have pur
chased a complete plant which will soon
be erected In their Seventh street build

cal capitalists are placing the necessary
machinery for a good factory In the

adjoins the Suburban electric light

GRIFFIN, MANAGER.

Over tbe Team.
Centerflelder "Santy" Gtlfiln. of the
Scranton club, .was las: i.Igat chosen to
succeed M. H. McDermott as tuaaag.-r
of the teum. McDetmott Uaves herj te
manege the Hunger club of the New
England league and takes with him
Jr-eit Homer, the Scra:uon pitcher who
rccent'y r ectived his ten-day n.tica of
release.
As related In yesterday's Tribune,
McDtrmott had negotiated with Ban
gor ns a precaution against belrg Idle.
In case he was released. For carrying
on the negotiations be might have been
suspended by tlv Scranton association
and prevented from going u ith any clu'
under the National agreement. The
Scranton owners, how ever, released hint
ard did not Impose the penalty pro
vided In the cas.
Griffin managed the Syracuse team In
1S94 and was released to YVllkes-Earre
f-arly In 1895. ' He played center field
for Hit. latter club and was recognized
as one of the best outfielders In the
league. This year he was prominently
mentioned as ' manager for Wlikes
Pnrie. but the directors were divided on
the matter and Jack Chapman was
finally chosen. . Griffin's release from
Wllkes-Rarr? was purchased by Scran
ton a little less than two weeks ago.
. 'CONFERENCE LAST NIGHT.
Last night Griffin met with Mr. Simp,
s in, Mr. Shepherd and Sir. Brooks,three
of the owners, In the latter's office and
there signed a contract to act as play
ing manager for the balance of the sea
son. He will be given. In addition to an
Ircreesetl salary for hla dual duties, a
handsome bonus according to the pcbI?
tlan occupied by the Scranton Club at
th? finish of the season. His control
over the players has been made abso-
, lute. The owners wl'I not assist him In
! signing players nor dictate to him about
j jel'.-aes. In fact, he will fee as thor
I ougiiiy In control of the lam as though
I he owned It.
This morning Manager QrlfTln, the
players and someone representing the
owners, probably Mr. Brooks, will meet
at the park and the players will be told
the situation, as far as the management
of the club In concerned. 1
That the Barons are badly In need of
a flrst-clas pitcher Is a self-evident
fact. There Is reason to believe that
McDermott had opened negotiations

with a National leaguer who fcas beea
given his notice of release. Anyhow,
taa owners are ready to back Grttfln (a
everything he does to strengthen the '
cjub and it, is not unlikely that It will
be done. That some decisive move haa
been arranged was indicated by Mr.
Brtc-ka In conversation with a Tribune
reporter after last night's meeting. He
rr.id: T
"Depend upon It, Scranton will on -July
4 be occupying a much better p3sl
(ion than at present I say this knov-,
ing that we have to meet Rochester and
Syracus? at home and then go on a trip
among the four cities up north."
The statement was so emphatic that J
It could not be put down as inlely en
thusiasm, and Mr. r.rooks was asked
how the club was to be strengthened
,"Never mind." he replied, "I cannot
"be more explicit, but 1 mean just what
1 say."
The Barons have certainly had a dis
astrous week, which was chiefly due to
a lack of -pitchers. After winning on
Monday the second straight in the To
ronto series we lost to the Canadians
01. Tuesday ar d then dropped threa to
the Bisons. V.rown pitched the game
won on Monday, pitched seven innlr.gs
rf Tuesday's game after Horner had
Hst it and went in again Thursday.
Harper has pitched only one game this
week, that of Wednesday, but will go
In ugalnst Rochester this afternoon.
Johnson, who hns been pick, was put
in the box yesterday, but was clearly
ton weak to do half that he Is capable
of doing and could stand it for only five
innings.
