f! .
la a See-Saw Game the Syracuse Stars
Woo la Their Last Half by
Vigorous Batting.
The Syracuse Stars defeated the Bar
ons by one run yesterday In another of
the close and exciting games which
seem to have suddenly become popular
at Athletic park. The Stars did the
trick by making four runs in their final
half at bat, though they would have
.made only two runs if Pete Eagan had
not made a pardonable error after a
hard run and if Hutchinson had not
been guilty of a stupid play that was
worse than an error. The Barons made
a desperate rally tn the ninth, but the
best they could do was to come within
one of tying the score.
The result of the entertainment was
In doubt from the start. The Barons
tallied one In the first and the Stars
did likewise In the second and third,
. getting a lead of one run. The Barons
tied the score In the fifth and In the
seventh earned a run and got the lead,
only to lose their advantage In the
eighth and to fall short of victory by
one run In the last half.
DARING BASE RUNNING.
Latham's daring base running made
possible the Barons' first two runs. In
the whole game ho had Ave to his credit,
eacn Deing a clean steal with the ball
after him and two of them being made
to third. Ward made two successful
slides, one of which was to third, but
neither of them contributed toward the
rlln-frnttlncr
' Owing to the failure of Brown to re
turn from Baltimore, where he was
called by Illness in his family, Johnson,
, who pitched Tuesday, was again put in
the box. Under the circumstances he
did well, though Ave of the Stars' runs
were earned. That Willis gave only
five hits Is not a particularly creditable
.performance when Is considered his
wildness.. He gave eleven bases on
balls. That doesn't Indicate that the
MroflA'had any opportunity to hit him
and. ts a good explanation why only
two hits were made off him up to the
ninth.

' of the much-advertised Stars who
played, or, rather, had an opportunity
to play, first-class ball. His ease and
method of covering rlrst station was a
, revelation. Moss, at short, didn't keep
himself warm. Captain Rellly, out of
his three chances, made an error which
contributed toward the Barons' second
run, while BUI Kgnn on an easy chance
made an error which did not prove cost-
I ly. .His seven accepted chances were

THE FIRST RUN.
Latham got four balls and stole sec

have been necessary, as walks were
given In succession to Hutchinson,
Meaney and Ward and forced in the
run. With three on bases O'Brien flew
out to BUI Egan and the Scranton
Eagan to Rellly.'whlle Ward was forced
by Magulre at second.
Two two-baggers earned the Stars'
run In the second.

base on balls. He started to steal and
Berger threw wild over first the Syra
cuse Egan scoring and Shearon going to
third.
Then hapepned a peculiar play. Garry
got a walk and stole. Mlnahan hit one
which Johnson stopped and threw the
ball to the plate to block Shearon. Garry
had gone down from second to third.
Shearon ran back to the bag and Berger
took his time in walking down and
touching both Shearon and Garry.
Stearns declared only the latter out.
Carey made a force hit, Johnson fielding
the ball to the plate where Shearon was
declared out for running out of line.
The Barons tied the score. In the fifth.
Latham got a walk and stole second and
third, coming home on Rellly'a miss of
Hess' throw.
Hutchinson's triple and Meaney's out
to center gave the Barons an earned
and leading run In first of the seventh.
In the last half the Stars tied the score
on Shearon's single and Minahan's two
baser along the left line to the fence.
COSTLY MISTAKES.
In the Star's last time at bat Hess
reached first on Pete Baean's error on
a hard chance. Then Hutchinson blun
dered and missed a golden opportunity
on Moss' bunt. The ball rolled swift
ly to within six or seven feet of first
base and as great a distance inside the
diamond. Hutch might possibly have
assisted Hess out at second and surely
hud plejity of time to get to the bag be
fore Moss. But he did neither. He first
turned toward second, then toward first
and again toward second finally decid
ing, but too late, to make the play at
first. Moss got past him and Hess was
safe at second. Each runner got a life
on Rt lily's ont and scored on Willis'
liner to right. A two-bagger of Bill
Egan and a single by Shearon brought

The Barons gingered up In the ninth.

Wilkes-Barre and Rochester had 137
chances In yesterday's 14-innlng game and
accepted 125.
Mains, the-young Boston pitcher who
was supposed to have been secured tor
Scranton has signed with Bangor. Man
ager Griffin received a telegram to that
effect last night.
Pitchers Herman and McFarland are
farmed to Rochester by Louisville. Ac
cording to the Courier-Journal either of
them may be recalled at any time and Mc
Dermott or Fraser sent to Rochester In
exchange.
There ts no likelihood of Latham going
on the bench while he continues his work
of the past two games. His hitting and
fielding on Tuesday and his stealing and
base running yesterday were too good to
be missed.
Pitcher Dick Brown, who was called
to Baltimore Monday on account of sick,
ness in his family, wired yesterday that
he would return In time to go on the
trip. He was notified by a return mes
sage to return at once. The report that
Sir Richard had departed never to return
Is groundless, though his peculiar dispo
sition may have led him to take desperate
means to get a vacation.
Says the Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer;
"All the Wilkes-Barre cranks hall with
delight Griffin's appointment as manager
of the Scranton club, that ts for Grlffln's
sake, for they desire to see him advance
In the profession. They would have liked
much more, however, to see him as man
ager of the Wilkes-Barre club, and they
are sure that had he been In charge all
the season, the Babies would have been
In .the first division Instead of in seventh
place."
Ward, who this seaBon played second
base on the Princeton University team,
and who Is looked upon as a star, has
been signed by the Louisville manager to
play shortstop. He donned the Colonels'
garb at Cleveland yesterday. Shannon
Is to be released. Ward has a splendid
reputation, both as an Inflclder and a bat
ter When Prlceton played against sever
al of the big leaguers during the first part
of the season his work was especially no

watched Princeton this season speaks of
him In the highest terms.

In commenting on a shake-up likely to
occur In the Philadelphia team, Frank
Hough saya In the Philadelphia Press:
"That this atatc of affairs cannot last Is
evident, and the officials are going to
take the bull by the horns immediately.
They have tried gentle meaaurea and now
the end has been reached. Colonel John
L. Rogers, treasurer of the club, stat
ed yesterday that the club Is scouring the
country for players to take the places of
those iw on the pay roll. As soon as
good men can be found the shake-up will
come." The Washington Post printed an
Interview with Captain Joyce Inst April,
In which Joyce predicted that Johnnie
Ward would be la charge "of the Phllles be.
fore the Fourth of July. Joyce's predic
tion waa ridiculed by a Philadelphia
weekly sporting sheet, but recent devel
opments known to certain base ball men
familiar with the goings on of ball politics
behind closed doors, have given rise to the
well-founded rumor that Johnnie Ward
will be paid a fabulous salary to manage
the Phillies. That a change will be made
not only In the make-up of the team, but
in the managerial end, there Is little rea
son to doubt."
Harry Merrill, the well-informed sport
ing writer of the Wilkes-Barre Record,
Is hopeful. Concerning the recent work
of the Alligators he has this to say: "The
base ball editor of the Record, notwith
standing the unpropltlous defeats the past
week, cannot discover anything in tne
work of the team that ts In any sense dis

CHICA00 MAY DEFEND THE CUP.
If the Kaiser Challenges Then Yon'll
Hear From the West.
Ttiere la a remote possibility that a
defender for the America's cup may be
constructed in Chicago, says an ex
change. There are said to be men re
siding in that city who are ambitious of
linking their names to the roll of those
who have drawn checks to keep the cup
on this side, and it is given out that they
will do more than talk If the German
emperor's yacht Meteor becomes a chal
lenger. Notwithstanding the denials
cabled from Europe of any such inten
tion on the keeper's part, private ad
vices say there is no question the. Me
teor will undertake, the Job that has
baffled the crack boats of England,
Scotland and Canada since 1851.
In anticipation of this event several
members of the Lincoln Park Yacht
club are planning to organise a syndi
cate to build a yacht to contest for the
honor of defending the cup. Designer
Poekel Is confident he can design a boat
of the Defender's dimensions which will
prove much faster than the Herreshoff
sloop that sent the last of the Valkyries
