ONE AWFUL INNING.
Gave Syracuse Eiiit Runs, the Number
That Woo the CameMason
Did Good Work.
In one dirastrous and fatal Inning
yesterday the Syracuse Stars made
their only runs, but the number was
large enough to defeat Scranton 8 to 3.
Muson, the Syracuse pitcher, was at his
best and pave Scranton's hitters no op
portunity to overcome the eight runs
made by the Stars In the second Inning.
Two costly errors on easy chuuees by
Maguire, another by O'Hrleii, a mls
nndrstanding of :i;nnls between
Meuncy nnd Ward and live hits for
seven bases was what did the
fjL business. After that, for six lu
ff nlngs Brow was hit seml-occa-Blonally,
but the Stars were never
utile to bunch tlieir drives suf
ficient to score a runner.
l- From the cull of play Mason
P pitched for Syracuse the kind of
Zood. sternly ball that wins games und
he was superbly supported, barring
Minahun's error, which did not cost
tiny thing.
BOWERMAN WILL DO.
I.'owermtn caught his lii-st game here
and show- d himself worthy of tho
pralBevni thy things said about him in
Bultimore and other cities. His throw
ing to bases was a revelation, and It la
doubtful If this feature of his playing
Is excelled by any other catcher In the
league. Certainly that was indicated
by his cue appearance. He appears to
be strong on high files and has an easy
swing at bat. The only criticism that
can be made of him Is on his pruneucas
to move about behind the plute, thus
giving an umpire an excuse for mis
judgement on balls end strikes. That
fault, however, Is trivial,' is peculiar to
all young catchers and can soon be
overcome.
Scranton In the second Inning got the
first run of the game on O'Brien's sin
gle, Hutchinson's sacrifice, Pete
Kagan's out at first and Bowerman'a
single.
THEN THE SLAUGHTER.
In the last half of the second came
the barbecue which cost Griffin's men
the game. Hill got a
walk ana second on
O'Brien's failure to stop
Moss' grounder, the lat
ter reaching second.
Kyan flew out to Ward.

gulre let pass between his legs. Mason

the throw In. Shearon dropped a fungo
Into ieft territory, scoring Oarry, Shea

cessful throw to the plate.
Mlnahan hit an easy tly for Meaney,
tut Ward ran for It and the two play
ers became mixed in their dates, the
bail fulling between them and permit
ting ffhearon to reach third. Carey
forced Mlnahan at sec
ond and scored Shearon.

guished himself by let

i made a steal and Carey
came home on a clean
but slow return of the ball from Ma
gulre to Howerman. Moss' two-bagger

Thereafter the Stars fulled to get a
runner over the pan, though they had
runners on the circuit in each inning
but the sixth.
SCHANTOX'S FINAL IU'NS.
Scranton was being robbed of what
set med safe hits by two brilliant stops
and assists by Moss and four of the
same kind of fust work by Bill Hasan.

Pittsburg, July 17. Pittsburg won from
Philadelphia toduy, but the game wound
up In a disgraceful manner. It was a
close game and the home team was one
run In tho lead when Philadelphia weat
to bat In the last Inntmt. They batted
Hastings for three runs and took the lead
with two to spare. In Pittsburas half, the
local men tilled the bases on a close det-li-ion
with only one out. Philadelphia
kicked hard on the decision and while
the players were having It out at the
home plate with the umpire, Ely scored
from third. This further enraged the vis
itors and they called Umpire Betts all
the names In the category of toughs.
Taylor struck the umpire and Clements
was only prevented from doing so by
Nash who ran out on the field from the
bench. Taylor and Clements were both
lined and removed from the game. Car
sey and Grady taking their places. Car
sey made a balk allowing another run
and t Icing the srore. Then the visitors
all gathered about , the umpire again and
the police had to be called. When quiet
was resth-ed Buckley singled and the
winning run scored. Nothing like it was
ever seen on the local grounds. The
Philadelphia management and players all
swear tonight that they were robbed and
that Betts will be removed. Attandunce.

ABOUT TOM SHARKEY.
His Awkwardi.ess Is What Pnxilet
.More Clever Fighters.
Of Tom Sharkey's style of fighting, an
acknowledged Buffalo authority writes:
"So far Sharkey has not delivered
a clean knockout on any of his oppon
ents. He rushes them, roughs them,
throws them about and, having such
wonderful strength and being so im
pervious to blows, he weakens them till
they can't hit. However, to tell the
truth, he is a very dangerous man for
any hard puncher that will attempt
to rough It with him. "He has only
a slight knowledge of boxing, but un
derstands sufficient to place himself in
an extremely awkward position to get
at. Standing- with his feet spread far
apart and bending over to the right,
at the first offensive move of an op
ponent he lowers his head and comes
In with a rush. He covers his Jaw
against uppercuts with his right,
swings his left v.lth tremendous force
wherever he thinks his man's head
ought to be, and, having got against the
opponent, with his head still tucked
away, swings his right In any old di
rection, trusting to luck to make con
nections. This move over, in a wink
Sharkey has his opponent round the
waist In the colls of a boa constrictor,
from which the clutched man soon
learns what a roughing from the sailor
means. To have any sort of conception
of what the sailor looks like, you would
have to see him. He is 24 years old,
never dissipated In his life and has a
physical development truly wonderful;
his t-hest measure Is something really
abnormal. Nobody has ever been seen
like him before In this country."

Pre-eminently the most versatile box

a well-informed sporting writer. He

a coup de grace, as do nearly all tie.

day.
Peter Jackson was a two-handed light

lied almost exclusively on a right-hand

Corbett Is rast master of the art of
boxing-. That he has no peer In clever
ness Is admitted all over the world,
where there are admirers of the manly
art. Some of the blows that have made
Corbett famous will prove of Interest.
He was recently photographed with
George Green, better known as Young
Ccrbctt. In the act of putting out his
six most formidable opponents.
On July 13, 18X9, on a barge at Benl
cia, Jim Corbett knocked out Choynskl
In the twenty-seventh round. It was a
left-hand swing on the point of the chin
that felled Choynskl. Corbat's left
hand was gone, and he reully landed
with his wrist.
The following year Corbett got a de
slslon over Jake Kllraln at New Or
leans in a six-round contest. Corbett
proved altogether too skillful fur the
Greenpolnt man and invtrlably landed
with his left. Corbett reached his op
ponent with a left-hand lead on the
nose.
NEARLY SETTLED M'CAFFREY.
Corbett's next contest was' a four
round affialr with Dominlck McCaf
frey, who, while not a great tighter,
had the reputation of being very clev
er. In the very first round Corbett
came very close to putting out McCaf
frey. The latter side-btepped to avoid
a straight lead, when Corbett hooked
him with the left, which dazed McCaf
frey. Every lover of the manly art Is famil
iar with trie history of the Corbett
Jackson fight, which took place In San
Francisco, May 21, lS'.'l. It resulted in a
draw after sixty-one rounds and virtu
ally established the reputation of Cor
bett, as Jackson was generally consld
ed by shrewd judges to be the best man
In the world. Jackson's right swing over
the heart was considered .irresistible.
He had landed It with terrific effect In
all his previous battles but it proved un
availing against Corbett's skill.
Jackson's plan was to feint with the
left and then let go the right with all his
force. Corbett shows In the photos how
he avoided the blow so It shot by his
arm, thus enabling him to reach Jack
son's stomach with a left Jab. Corbett
states that only once during the long
fight did Jackson hit him over the heart
with hla right hand.
CONTEST WITH SULLIVAN.
Corbett's battle with John L. Sullivan
took place on September 7. 1892. After
the first ten rounds Sullivan was vir
tually at the mercy of Corbett. The
Callfornlan took matters lelnurely. how
ever, but In the twenty-first round Sul
livan was extremely gruggy, when Cor
bett sent htm down all of a heap with
a straght right-hand punch on the
cheek bone.
A new punch settled the? pugilistic
ambitions of Chat ley Mitchell, the Eng
lish champion. which shows the quick
ness and accuracy of Corbett. He en
couraged Mitchell to lead with his left
for the head, but stepped back, so that
It fell short, when, quick as a flash, he
uppercut Mitchell on the Jaw with his
tight hand. Corbett Is about to deliv
er the blow when the camera snapped
on him.
The casual observer will readily see
that Corbett adapts himself to the style
of his opponent, which he endeavors to
size up In the first three rounds, and
then plans out the surest and most ef
fective way of finishing an opponent, at
thfsume time exhibiting the greatest
caution. He has heretofore, with prob
ably one exception, neit tried to win in
short order, but In a safe and gradual
manner.
BICYCLE BACK TO GO.
A Swiss Invention Makes the Rider
Sit Upright.
The bicycle face and the bicycle back
will disappear If the new wheel Intro
duced in Geneva, Switzerland. Is gener
ally adopted. The wheel was Invented
by Charles Challand, a professor of
mathematics In that city.
Benjamin H. Rldgely, the United
States consul at Geneva, has sent to
the secretary of state a sketch of the
wheel, with a letter describing It. The
bicycle differs from the modern safety
in this respect only: The pedals are
placed over the forward wheel and the
rider sits in a natural posture and has
a support behind him like the buck of
a chair. The rider. Instead of pedaling
up and down, and leaning forward so
that his back resembles an interroga
tion point, pedals forward and back
ward and sits back comfortably, like a
man In a reclining chair. His position
Is held to be the normal position of a
man sitting, and the bicycle is, there
fore, called "La Blcyclette Normale."
The inventor says that the principle
of his machine is the utilization of the
force, very little known, which is fur
nished by a point of support for the
back. Without this support the only
force a man has Is his own weight. On
the other hand, If his back be well sup
ported he has in each leg a force more
than treble his own weight, nnd which
Is, in fact, equal to the weight he Is
capable of carrying combined with that
of his own body. The construction of
the normal bicycle Is intended to make
use of this considerable amount of
wasted force. The point of support Is
the back of the seat, by means of which
the rider's body is thrown back and his
legs lifted up. owing to the position of
the pedals. The body Is thus placed In
a normal posture, hence the name of the
machine; the body Is upright or leaning
slightly backward.
Consul Rldgely concludes hla letter by
saying that the bicycle hus made a fa
vorable Impression In Geneva and that
the ease with which It is driven uphill
is particularly noticeable. In due time
the letter and the sketch will be printed
by the state department for the benefit
of the bicycle riders who suffer from a
tired feeling In the small of the back.

BICYCLE CHAT.
Count Angelo de Julio, who came from
Rome !iftecn years ugo, leaving a long
line of distinguished ancestors, Is at
present startling New York by his tG.060
bicycle, it is said that it took three
months of constant labor to set the solid
gold and mother-of-pearl In the ebony
tubes which cover the original steel
frames and the mahogany rims of both
wheels. Even the handles are studded
with penri and gold. The under steel
frame, the handlebar, nnd In fact the bi
cycle itself, with the exception of the
jewel work, were made in New York,
especially for the count. The spokes
and runningparts were forwarded to the
gold platers, where the Steel received
a heavy bath of dark gold. Then the bi
cycle was put together and sent to Rome
where the frames, rims and other parts
were elaborated. Count de Julio hus
ridden for the lust fifteen years und was
made president of the New York Tour
ist Wheelmen last year, whose members
honored him with u gold medal for rid
ing over 10,000 miles during the preced
ing year. He received another gold
tiK-dal from the Excelsior Cycling club
for the accomplishing of a like feut and
another for making a record of 10,200
miles.
Crash suits for wheelmen are becom
ing remarkably popular, particularly In
the larger cities. Old time cyclists
watch this effort ut display with dis
dain. A few years ago the cyclist
dressed for comfort when he went for
a ride. Now that the society element
has taken up the wheel the effect can be
seen In the attire of the average wheel
man and wheelwoman. In the larger
cities two sweaters were seen a year
ago to one tyduy.
Tandems have become wonderfully
popular this year, and now a tandem
which has just appeared promises to be
more popular than any of Its predeces
sors. Many inquiries have been sent to
the makers this year for a double ma
chine for the little folks, but the manu
facturers have been so busy turning out
the regulation bicycles thut they have
not given the attention to the matter
that the demand would seem to war
rant. One firm has taken the initiative
and has turned out a lot of these tan
dems and the wise business policy
which prompted this move Is already
apparent. The machines are made
with 26, 24. and 20 Inch wheels. The
smaller tandems are listed at $100, and
the 26-Inch wheels at $1-5.
The city officials of Pensacola, Fla.,
have given notice that hereafter all
hacks, carriages and other vehicles, ex
cept bicycles, must carry two lights at
night. Bicycles are only required to
carry one light. This order was Issued
because of a kick made by wheelmen
that hacks, etc., were not required to
carry a lighted lantern at night, while
bicyclists were arrested If caught rid
ing without a lighted lantern.
By a court decision In Kokomo, Ind.,
a bicycle Is placed In the same catagory
as a sand bag. A pedestrian who hud
been knocked down charged the offend
ing wheelman with assault and bat
tery, the bicycle being designated as the
weapon of offense. As a new defense
against scorching the decree of the
learned Judge will be hailed with Joy.
There are upward of 70.000 men In the
country who find profitable employment
In making and repairing bicycles.
Immediately a street Is Improved all
the heavy cartage and trucks seek It
out and It Is only a question of time,
says the New York Telegram, before
the pavement will show wear, especially
If the street be the 0110 good thorough
fare among a hundred poor ones. That
Is why so many of the asphalted streets
In New York and Brooklyn show hard
usage. If all the streets were Improved
the wear upon them would be more gen
eral and uniform, and the asphalt pave
ments would not he ruined within a year
or so. When the good roads agitation
becomes universal this will be the case.
After good roads municipal authorities
should insist upon the abandonment of
narrow tires. They are road destroyers.
George Banker, 'the American rider,
whose illness at Nice. Italy, ended his
Idea of competing abroad this season. Is

CORBETT AND SHARKEY.
The fact that Tom Sharkey Is coming
east In a few weeks and the determina
tion of Corbett to train ut his old quar
ters at Asbury park seem to lend color
to a prediction that they will give
their services to the eastern club offer
ing the greatest financial inducement.
It does not seem reasonable to believe
that two men would travel acroes the
continent to train und then retrace
their steps back toward the setting sun,
when there is n opportunity ttJ be
availed of right In New York stute.
With Sharkey In Tom O'Rourke's care,
and with Tom Interested In the big
Broadway club, It is safe to say that
after next November If Corbett and
Sharkey are on the level, allveiy bid
ding will spring up among the Metro
politan clubs for the mutch, although It
Is hard to see how a finish contest be
tween these men will not set the moral
howlers going and create a sentiment
which may force the new governor to
take some decisive steus to prevent
prevent their meetimi. Should It be
shown thpt the nffnlr cannot be de
cided In public, there Is reason to feel
that any of the concerns governing the
mechanical reproduction machines,
such as the vltnscope. cimetogrnph. or
eldoloscope will offer an enormols
amount of money for-the privilege of
holding the affair In private, under con
ditions favorable to the photographing
of the fight. This, It seems to me.would
prove more profitable to the boxers,
for they would be paid a big purse and
could command a good royalty from
the company as luug as the pictures
were shown. Long-headed Billy Brady
may have some financial cheme which
may off -set this. If the kinetoscope
could afford to pay $5000 for a six-round

bout between Corbett and Courtney,
besides a good royalty, some of the
other concerns can afford to give ten
times that sum and make money at
that.
There was but little time lost in dis
cussion before Corbett and Sharkey
signed articles for a finish fight, to
take place within six months In the
I'nlted States or Mexico, before the club
or organization offering the best In
ducements. The contest Is said to be
for the world's championship and a
side bet of $!0,000, the winner to re
ceive the $20,000 besides the purse of
fered by the club. Marquis of Queens
bury rules will govern the content, and
the referee Is notified by the articles
that the prohibiting of clinching and
hugging are to be strictly enforced.
Neither pugilist to participate In any
contest until after this fight Is decided.
Lynch, Sharkey's backer, who present
ed the sailcr.objected to the prohibition
of clinching, but Corbett Insisted, and
after much wrangling, it was tlnally
agreed to by Lynch.
Talking on the Corbett-fcharkey fight,
John L. Sullivan said: "The public Is
likely to get a fahe notion about Shark
ey because Corbett failed to knock him
out In four rounds. I do not think that
Sharkey Is anything like a first-class
fighter. He did not show it at all. and
he only made an effort to light when
Corbett's wind was gone. Now, In un
dertaking to kneick a strong man out In
four rov.nds the knocker has all the
rushing and fgh'lng to eio.witlle the
other man Is trying to keep out of the
way and practically doing nothing
else. Four rounds of this kind of work
Is equal to a half hour's good lighting
of the ordinary kind.
"I had an experience with 'Tug' Wil
son, und I failed to knock him out be
cause he was avoiding punishment by
dropping down. When JJorbt tt had his
witid that niiiht Sharkey would not
fight, and did little else but foul. But
Corbet evidently lost his wind. I am
not surprised at that, because he was
not in condition for such a tremendous
tusk. When the aggressor loses his
wind he la often at the mercy of the
other chap, und this seems to have been
the case with Corbett last night. To
knex-k a rioiverful youni? man uut in
four rounds requires a tremendous hit
ter. Corbett, In the first two rounds
hit Sharkey when and where he liked
and failed to knock him down."
Not I'or Him.
He But of course you will forget me.
She Nonsense; I shall think of you when
you are gone. He Oh, shall you? She
Yes; therfore the longer you are gone the
longer I shall think or you. Won't that be
nice? Boston Transcript.
