GRAYS ARE DEFEATED.
Scranton Outfielded Them and Did the
Most Timely Hitting Provi
dence Got a Big Lead.
All kinds of good and bad base ball
were played In the game which Scran
ton won from the fast ol 1 Providence
veterans yesterday, but Scranton's hit
ting was the more timely, and the
"! rays' errors were the more numerous
and costly and so the latter were de
fented. Providence scored four times in the
first limine on three singles. Km Rail's
miss of an easy grounder, two walks
und a brace of passed balls by Ottt
calt. In the second a nightmare throw
to the plate by Maguire let in another
run, and that was the lust to fall to
the lot of the visitors.
Scranton got live unearned runs and
tied the score in the third, chkily
through Fiiel's horrible throw to the
plate on an easy chance. A quintette
of singles with errors by Lyons and
Coogan in the third pave Scranton three
more runs, and another was obtained In
the sixth on errors by Drauby, Cougun
and Hnssett.
While ClrHTin's men had a fit of of
Fsh playing at the start they later set
tled down to business and the outfield
especially gave Sir Richard lirown the
kind of support he deserved. Sir Rich
ard's disposition, by the way. Is im
proving. The series of unfortunate
blunders which gave Providence their
five runs did not affect him. but rather
served to urge him to greater effort
find he kept the Grays guessing until
the finish.
FRIEL PITCHED GOOD BALL.
Frlel. too, pitched championship ball,
excepting the fifth chapter, when he
was found for four of Scranton's total
of eight hits. His support, however,
was at no time of kind which has made
Providence the most dreaded of foes
in the league.
Manager Griffin appeared I;i center
In plare of Meaney. who was called to
Philadelphia Saturday by the Illness of
his mother, who died Sundny. Owing
to the condition of Griffin's hand, which
Is still very tender and swollen the
batting order was changed so that
Hasan and Griffin, In the order named,
batted just before the battery. This
was fortunate as nrilun suffered Intense
pain each time ho swung his bat and
failed to get a lilt, while Katrnn's two
singles brought in three of Scranton's
runs.
Scranton was first at bat. AVnrd got
A walk and was forced at second by
Latham who made an unsuccessful at
tempt to steal. Maguire hit n liner
against Knight's shins fur three bases
and O'F.rien flew out to Murray. For
Providence Lyons fungoed over second
and reached second on a passed ball.
Bassett hit a slow grounder which
Eagan missed, Lyons coming home and

HARPER ISRECALLED.
Lett Here Last Night to Join the Brook,
lyn Club at Cleveland Won
Six Games for Us.
ntcher Harper was yesterday recalled
by President Byrnes of the Broklyn
club In Cleveland.
Harper was farmed to Scranton on
May 23, subject to recall without notice.
He pitched eleven games, beginning
Monday, May 23, nnd of the eleven six
were victories. Harper was perfectly
satisfied with his Scranton engagement
nnd would rather have remained here.
He was receiving the same salary as
provided for In his Brooklyn contract.
Before Harper left the city Manager
Griffin told him there was a place await
ing him on the Scranton club If Brooklyn
at any time did not need him or wanted
tuularm him .Harper . replied that he
would not consent to be loaned ao any
club other thun Scranton.
The Brooklyns have not been winning
a majority of their games recently and
the cause has apparently been an in
ferior pitching department.. Whether
the regular corps of pitchers will round
Into good form is a speculation, but It
Is certain that If Harper is not wanted
permanently he will return here.
DIAMOND DUST.
Providence again this afternoon.
Springfield plays here tomorrow and
Thursday.
The buiie In Manager Grltfln's Injured
thumb is splintered.
Umpire Gaffney's reputation and the
fine work he does to bacK It. probably has
Its intluene In attracting the good sized
crowds.
Gillon and Outcalt ure sluted for today's
battery. If Gillon Is not in proper form
Corbett will go In the box. Gillon has
won the three games li bus pitched.
Buffalo defeated Brooklyn in an exhibi
tion game Sunday by a score of 12 to 3.
That makes three games between East
ern und National league clubs this sea
son, und In each case the Easterners won.
When It was made known to the players
that Mear.ey's mother had died there was
a general and pronounced expression of
sincere sympathy, sympathy of the kind
which well attests Meaney 's popularity
among them.
O'Brien's playing couldn't have been
Irn proved upon, though he saved himself
uu error by throwing a runner out at sec
ond after mulling Cauuvun's fly. Jack
hud eight liiauces and live of them were
ditilctilt.

KING OF PLUNGERS,
"PITTSBURG PHIL"
Successful Backer of Race Horses Tells
of His Methods.
ADVISES OTHERS NOT TO FOLLOW
His System Is Peculiar to Himself
aad Requires Lots of Money and
crve--Ile Follows Hit Own Judg
ment and Placet No Dependence on
ToutsUegnn with elO Capital.
"Pittsburg Phil." the pale, smooth
faced and boyish looking plunger ut
the race tracks, is known by reputation
the world over, for, although but 34
years of age, he has visited every track
of any consequence, and generally with
Bucccess as a player of odds. For the
first time he has written of his methods
and this is what he says:
"No man every made money by fol
lowing me. and no man ever will, un
less he is possessed of a very good capi
tal and copies my tactics through the
entire season. Encouraged and misled
by my frequent streaks of luck, my
friends often decide to follow me and
bet as I do. 1 plead with them and
tell them not to, for the chances will be
a hundred to one that they will lose.
"My losings are vustly more-in num
ber, but not In amount, than my win
nings, and almost invariably my fol
lowers will get discouraged at just the
wrong time.
I make calcinations which they can
not understand; they disregard my
opinion, which Is always based on
judgment of all the essential condi
tions. I have picked the winner; they
lose. 1 make enough out of the race
to cover my losses, cften more, while
they are deeper In the mire than ever.
Then, a new crowd of 'Pittsburg Phil"
followers tag me, and lead themselves
to the same fate.
BACKS OUTSIDERS HEAVILY.
"The explanation of this state of af
fairs is simple. I always bet heavily
on outsiders. My whole success In the
business, outside of my careful judg
ment, of course, Iks In the fact I
back more outsiders than any man w ho
plays the races in the country. I will
bet just as much money on uu 8 to 1
chance as I would on an even chance.
Thus it Is that when I do win 1 usually
make big money.
"I have a price on every horse, based
on my judgment of the horse, its train
er. Its Jockey, etc. But I never muke a
bet before the preliminaries. I find
that It Is not safe. After seeing the
horses canter up to the post I frequent
ly have occasion to change my mind.
Then again, even If my favorite does
show up well in the preliminaries, I
find upon going Into the ring that the
betting has boosted his price beyond
that which I had set for him, perhaps
from 3 to 1, to 2 to 1. I Immediately
drop him and take the longer odds on
the horse iwhlch shows up next best
alongside my erstwhile favorite. I am
a strong believer in betting on long
odds.
"I hold that there Is no surer way for
a fair-minded man with a fair amount
of capital to make money than by play
ing the races. But there Is only one
way to make money at the business.
That Is by relying solely upon one's
own Judgment and betting only in pro
portion to one's cupltal.
SIXTEEN YEARS A PLUNGER.
"I am 34 years old. It was 16 years
ago that I began betting on horse
races and I then had only about $10 or
$15. I did not make my first wager
until I had studied the horses thorough
ly and formed my own Judgment. I
was thoroughly convinced that I had
picked the winner, but I bet accord
ing to my little cupltal just a few dol
lars. "I was successful and have been suc
cessful ever since wlthout doubt, the
most successful man who ever played
the races In this country. I went from
my $10 bet to a $100 wager, then to $500
and quickly Into the thousands.
"During all these years I have listen
ed o no advice, though It has been
offered to me by the wholesale. I have
listened to no tips from the stables. I
have stayed from the stables. I have
listened to no owners or Jockeys. Their
opinions are always biased. I have re
lied solely upon my own Judgment,
formed by carefully watching the
horses and knowing them absolutely
by heart knowing their records In all
the races they have ever run and ascer
taining their exact condition upon en
tering the track.
The only men who ever made money
at the business are those who have
done exactly as I have done formed
their own opinions and listened to no
one. I could name 50 such men. Among
the most notable are George Wheel. ick,

Donald, Riley Grannan, Ed. Gaines,
and Sam Mulford.
"Each one of these men, like my
self, backs his own judgment Btrlctly,
and has made a big success at the
business. Each Is worth about all the
money he will ever care for. They
would never think of listening to me
or any one else.
ED GAINES' CASE.
"Take Ed. Gaines, for Instance. We
were In California together. We dined
together, went to the track together
and were with each other almost all
the time, yet not a mji on the coast
took larger wagers off me than he did.
He would not have listened to my ad
vice even If I had offered it and I
would have paid no attention to any
he might have given me. Our Judg
ments were often different, and we bet
against each other.
"Gaines is only about 24 years old,
but is worth In the neighborhood of
$100,000, all made by betting. He start
ed with next to nothing In St. Louis a
few years ago. The people who lose
money are those who rely upon the
other people's Judgments who go to
the track and try to follow men like
myself.
"Furthermore very few can afford to
follow me, because they lack the neces
sary capital. I do not hesitate to say
that I keep from $150,000 to $225,000 In
ready c-ash where I can lay my hands
upon It at any moment.
"I have It In a bunk, and do not even
draw Interest on It, so careful am I to
have It at my command nt all times.
Betting as heavily us 1 do, I could not
afford to have less than that amount
of cash on hand, for I am apt to lose
as much ns $25,000 every day I go to
the race track. I do not carry money
to the track, settling 'all my accounts
with checks.
"AJthough my attention Is practical
ly absorbed in the race track, betting
on the races Is by no means the only
form of speculation I Indulge In. 1 in
vest my surplus money somewhat
largely In stocks, and have been pro
portionately successful In that. Every
thing I have gone into on Wall street
has made me good money. I wntch and
study stocks, especially In the winter
months, as closely as 1 do horses In the
summer.
CAN'T STOP BETTING.
"I will never stop betting on the
races. I could not. It Is second nature
to me. For several years back I have
said to myself that I will have all the
money -I will need and will never- bet
heavily again, going to the races mere
ly for amusement (for my love of horses
would not permit me to stay away) and
vvBggerlng $100 or so just to make It
Interesting.
"But the first thing I know 1 would
be putting up from $10,000 to $15,000 on
a horse which, the chances are, I
.would not give $100 for If it was offered

"My most successful season was
three years ago. I quit $168,000 winner.
I was $225,000 ahead before the Morris
Park meet I lost $45,000 there the last
three days. I always figure expenses
with the losses.
"Just to illustrate the ups and downs
of the business, I will say that six
years ago, the first year the Elizabeth,
N. J., track opened, I started In there,
then went to Linden, then to Brook
lyn, and at the end of the three meets
was $10(1,000 winner, but In the fall I
was loser on the season. The biggest
wager I ever had a bookmaker take
from me was taken by Riley Grannan,
on Clifford against Domino In the spe
cial race at Sheepshead Ray In 1S94, I
placed a single wager of $10,000 with
him and lost.
