Outplayed Them at Every Point arid Won la a WalkJohnson Pitches and Plays a Great Game. Scranton fairly walked away with the leaders yesterday. We' won the game In the first Inning and never left It In doubt for a minute. Rochester couldn't wii If it had two trys. The Barons' batting, Johnson's pitching and the allaround good field work each was sufficient in Itself to have prevented It. It was the kind of ball that made us ask why are we not on top of the heap instead of at the bottom. There was nothing to find fault with, not even the two errors of Keister. Seventeen hits for a total of twenty, one bases, netting- fourteen runs, ten of which were earned, is a slugging record to be proud -of. Three snappy, timely double-plays Is another thing to set us shaking' hands with ourselves. Hocheter's fielding was good but they couldn't touch Johnson. Four hits was the best they could do, and one of these was of a questionable character. For Scranton McGuIre, Hutchinson and Eagan led In batting and in field ing shared the honors with Johnson and Ward. O'Brien showed up well with a double, a single and a sacrifice, and Keister helped along wonderfully with two pretty drives. Berger and Johnson made only one hit apiece, but they were very timely and made them great favorites. NEVER IN DOUBT. The game was never In doubt from the beginning. In the first Inning after Koehester had been blanked, Scranton made (our runs, three of them earned. .Ward walked to first, got second on Meaney's safe bunt, reached third on O'Brien's attempted sacrifice, which put Meaney out at second, and came in on Keister's bounder to center field. A two-'iugger by Magulre brought In O'Brien and put Keister In a position to score on an out at first. ' Magulre scampered In on Hutchinson's hot drive to right and the side retired by Berger forcing Hutchinson at second. In the fifth Inning Ward scored an other by reaching first on Shannon's misjudgement of hi high Infield fly, stealing second aud galloping In on O'Brien's double. In the llfth came the slaughter. Eleven men faced Weyhlng in this Inning, and when the end came seven (allies, six of them earned were found on the score sheet. Magulre opened the fire works with a long, hard drive into left field, which looked good for three bases, but after a hard run and a circus leap Bottenus brought it down, winning a hearty round of applause. Eagan singled, got second on Hutch inson's base on balls, and with the aid of a good' start reached home when Berger singled along the third base line. Hutchinson and: Berger came in on Johnson's double and the latter cored on Ward's single and a little daring base running. Meaney got first on Ward's capture at second and made the circuit on hits - by O'Brien) and Keister. Magulre's single cleared' the bases. Magulre set the good example again In the eighth, making a clean single. By his. failure to get down In going to third on Eagan's single he was put out, Dally making the throw from short right field. Eagan stole second and came In on Hutchinson's single, Hutchinson going to second on the at tempt to catch Eagan at the plate, and scoring on Shannon's error of John son's slow bounder which bounded away, struck the doughty Daniel's shin and wobbled out of reach. At about this stage of the game Startzell, who replaced Weyhlng In "the fifth, was beginning to feel that weary feeling, and It looked very much as If he would share the fate of his prede cessor if there were a few more in nings to play. Rochester scored its first run in the third Inning on a walk, a single by Weyhlng and outs of Bottenus and Shannon. In the fifth Inning Boyd reached first by reason of colliding with an inshoot, stole second and wa wiping his feet on the home plate when Eagan retired the side on a beautiful catch of Shart norV's long curving drive Into left gard en. ,- , Shannon brought In Rochester'! oth er run in the eighth. He hit a hot one across third base; Keister dove after it and succeeded In halting it in its mad career. There was no time for recov ery so he let fly all his might without waiting to take aim, and when it was dug out from under the bleachers Shannon was on third. Daily's out at first brought him in. DROPPED AN EASY ONE. Keister's other error was made In the fourth, when he dropped a little pop fly that a one-armed, blind girl could have caught with half her hand. It was too easy. A little more experience is what Keister Is In need of. Doescher had only a few close de cisions to make and made them satis factorily. There was little or no Jaw ing. The score: SCRANTON. A.B. R.

THE HONORS WERE EVEN Wilkes'Unrre Took a (mne and Lost One to Srnrusp, Wilkes-Barre, -July 21. Over 1,000 people were present to witness the lirst game between Wilkes-Barre and Syra cuse today. It was a brilliant contest, the fielding ion-both sides being very-sharp-and snappy. The feature was Ly tile's work in left field. He caught two long running catches and succeed ed in putting a man out at the plate on a double play. Keenan pitched effec tively for the home team. Mason wus hit hard, but the hits were kept well scattered, which a'-counts for the small number of runs made by the locals. The second game was even more ex citing than the Ilrst. Costly errors uy Smith and Lackey gave the- visitors the lead which could nut be overcome, In spite of the fact that Wilkes-Barre did the best work in the field and hit harder. Eagan was Very obstreperous and kept Umpire Hornung in hot water all through the game. He was lined 'three times, 5 at a clip, , Score; First game WILKES-BARRE. A.B. H. H. P O. A. E.

Boston lost fourth place to Chicago by suffering defeat at the Windy City. New York and Wash ington are now tied for ninth place. The feature of the day was the number of shut-outs administered.

WILL MEET ON NATIONAL CIRCUIT The Event Will Be M titrnrd with the ' tircatcst utcrcst--Tuo Bicycle Shows in l8!7About Europeim RecordsNew Scncme for Marking M heels lor Identification Purposes. The Butlers. Bald, Sanger, Gardiner, Cooper and Zlegler anv the greatest men of the cycle track this year. The meeting of the seven at the later datest of the national circuit will be watched with Interest. Cooper Is likely to go "dead to the world," they nil say, be fore the season is old, but he keeps winning just as many races from Bald as Bald wins from him, with perhaps a few more. Tom Eck, who trains John S. John sou, the American cycle "flyer," suysj he has offered to match Johnson for a thousand francs ugulnst the winml' of the grand prlx de France, ridden on Sunday Inst. Saturday, pared by a tandem, Johnson rode a mile In 1.44 1-5. Tills equals the world's record made by Plutt-Hetts. Tom Cooper has won $2,500 in five weeks on the national circuit, and yet this same Cooper was unsigned two weeks previous to the start of the cir cuit and wus employed in a cycle store In Detroit, where it seemed certain he would stay to the end of the year, us all the teums had apparently been mode up for the year. Cooper had rid den the previous year as an amateur In the early part of the season und in cluss B towards the end of the season. He hnd been In the latter class tv prom inent performer In handicap races and his many brilliant finishes in these races gave him a name. Through tho Inter vention of friends Cooper secured a foot hold on a team und went to Louisville to train on the famous Fountain Ferry track. Previous to Decoration duy he wus employed to act us pacemaker for Mike Dlrnbel ger. It has been decided by the national cycle board of trade to hold their un nual national cycle exposition, for IMi? in January and February respectively. There will be two national shows, one in Chicago and one in New ork. Presi dent R. L. Coleman, to whom the whole matter was referred, has decided that the western exposition, which Is to be held at the new Coliseum building. Sixty-third street and Illinois Central railroad, Chicago, III., shall come lirst, January 30, 1S!I7. The eastern national cycle, show, which is to be held at the Grand Central Palace of Industry. Flrty-thlrd street und Lexington ave nue. New York city, will open on Satur duy, February C, 1SH7. From present Indications both buildings will be taxed to their utmost to accommodate the ex hibitors, as there are already over 250 applications for space in hand. The European records do not approxi mate any of the performances at the shorter distances that have been made in this country, but soon there will be big alterations In the time tables In vogue on the other side of the wnter. Though the French, German, English and Itullan riders have been prominent ly Identified with the smashing of for eign records, the fact has not been dis puted that American wheelmen have clearly demonstrated their supeiiorlty in the record breaking line. Kiser Is an adept at following the pure, and III the presence of un enthu siastic French audience will shortly fol low the septuplct In trials aguinst the best European records. Murphy and Wheeler are exceptionally fast riders, ami will also be used to reduce the for eign marks. Arthur Gardiner was paid $120 In sil ver dollars at Little Rock, and was at a loss to know where he was going to store all the money received. Like oth er racing men, ho bought an express money order and sent the money home as fust lis received, and Is suld to have a bank account of not less tlmn $5,000 and a house that he has bought, all being money earned und won the rac ing circuits In the last few years. Ziegler Is frugal. A new scheme bus been suggested to owners of bicycles. It Is for every wheelman to have a private mark on his wheel, und In the event of the lojn f the wheel the identification of such a mark, known only to the rider, would be good proof of ownership. This murk should be concealed, and, Instead of a murk on the saddle or saddle-Hist, it is suggested Unit u portion of the enamel about one Inch square be scraped from the frame of the machine. After all trace of the enamel has been removed, iipply a muling; uf grease, und with a pointed piece of steel dipped In car bolic add draw the Initials or mivate mark lhroiii;h the grease. The add following the marking of the steel point, while the grease keeps It from :qnvu 1 ing. Alter allowing the acid to eat into the tubing the grease can be rubbed off and the murk or initial shows as plain ly as if rut Into- the steel framework. One coat of enamel will hide the n;;u K. If your wheel Is stolen, of course, you have to scratch It again before you can Identify the mark. Another c-iod thing to do with a $100 wheel Is to Keep it in a safe place, and nut let It stand around where thieves can easily ride uli' with It. DIAMOND DUST. Corbel t und Howermnn will be the bat tery in today's game with Albany. Jack Horner has been released by the Bangor club uml signed by Pawtucket. Hutchinson leads the Western league pitchers In the matter of games won nn.l lost. He has won seventeen and lost seven. Mullane has won seventeen a:id lost nine. Manager Iliickenberger, of the Albany, loaned 1'itcher Dean, of tills city, to the Hamilton club of the Canadian league. Dean Is now considered the best pitcher on the team. Buck may yet recall him to Albany. The Western association lias taken n new departure In forcing all clubs to bring their salary limit down to $1KW. Des Moines had to lop over M. It's got to come In the Eastern by another season. Spring, field Republican. Eddie Burke Is always at the front when the Reds have to make a close finish. He Is ns popular In Cincinnati as he was with Burkevllle rooters ti the Polo grounds. Buck Ewlng considers Eddie one of his most valuable players. It was ufter all, a lucky thins for Bar nli that he didn't get the Toronto fran chise, although nt that time the failure to get what looked like a good thing wns a hitter disappointment. As things turned out he got the best of It In every way. He received $500 cash to waive his claim on Toronto, and had to take what looked like a poor franchise in a small and doubtful league. But, contrary to expec. tntlons, Toronto has proved' a dismal fnll ure, while Hartford Is a financial win ner, and the Atlantic league looks like a titsiyer. Cincinnati Coinmercifia-Trlbimc. Tom Hurivf, the Spriuglleld malinger, 1 ad decided to give no more advance money to pluyers by check, draft or telegraph, pr f erring to await their arrival, lie' bad rocky experience In this matter during the season and now the men will get their money wlu-n they report. Sensible. Ex change. Manager Manning, of Kansas City, has released all claim to Pitcher Hallowed, who has signed with Fall River. Hallo we41 Is the first man Fall River has signed and Lincoln I lie first man Fall River lias releused since tho season opened. Fall River has played but thirteen men this yea r. "Roaring BUI" H'assamaer is anxious to know exactly where he is "at." Witn In a few weeks he was farmed out. recalled and rcltused by Louisville. 'Roaring Bill" Is of the opinion that it Is not u string which a dub has on a player, 'it's a rope und It's around a fellow's neck'' is his explanation. Brannlgan, the promising young Pitts ton amateur, is practicing with the Scran tons. Manager Gvitlln thinks he will de velop and tlilcinls to keep an eye on lilm. lie may place him Willi some minor league club and give him a chance In the exhibi tion games next spring or possibly hi the lcgular games toward 'the close or the season. He Is a third baseman. The retirement of Tim Ki-ele from the staff of umpires bus caused consl IcraOlj wonder us to what the veteran will do. "I'm sorry for Tim, said one of the Chi cago players yesterday. '"I here Is one or the most perfect gentlemen who ever played bull. Eighteen years lie pitched and who ever heard of his n iIn,' a row or quarrel on the fiel.l, with eithir ail umpire or another player? And Ills hon esty is unquestionable, 1 usked him what he was going to do. He shook my baud mid said: "1 don't know. 1 in el the money, but 1 can't stay In a unstress which makes my friends abuse me and mistrust me. 1 can't have people whom I have had for associates for years pass me up when they meet me, unl ro I'm going to resign." The Cincinnati team Is playing spetdc ball. So fust, Indeed. Is the gait struck by Dticlciiightim's stn.fc u,l' reds that lis doubtful if they will be ablu to stand the pace to the llnal of the race. They have made their splendid showing lit the ex polise of the western clubs. The true test of the Red's worth will come when I hey have met ami played the six clubs of the eastern division on the farewell eastern trip of tho western teams. Of tho sev enteen names played by the Reds on their last trip east they won eight, a go-id showing, to be sure, but not a record that Is equal to the great triumph of win ning the penaut. Indeed, th unexpected showing of the Reds has set tho Cincin nati rooters daft, tickled as their pulales are with the sweets of triumph, uml the. pennant wheels are buzzing ill their brad. They are quite euiitldent of win ning the peivnunt, ami will not be satis, lied with anything luwer than second honors. "Did you ever hear." said the oM-tlmo ball crank, "how a striped coat once won a game, the game counting tremendously toward championship honors? it was back In the association days, when the St. Louis Browns were lighting hard tor their string of our championships, and tho Browns were playing Cincinnati one hot afternoon. Atiie- Latham had reached third; there were two out, und the amount of kicking that went on concerning balls and stiiiees on the last batter would have disgraced a chuich choir. Down by third, Robinson was coaching. Robbie had on a blazer one of those fearful and wonderful coats, covered with stripes and much af fected by the ultra aesthetic In athletic, circles. A ball was called that should have been a strike, .and the whole Cincin nati team ran to arguo ubout it. Tho third baseman ran in, too, and nobody paid any attention to Latham and Robinson. Throw me the coat, cull! Throw me th coat!' squealed Alile, and Robbie threw him the blazer. Lnthem put it on, anil when play was resumed, coolly walked in toward the plate. The catcher thought it was Robbie comlmr in to make a kick, and gave no heed to him until he walked over the plato with the winning run. ' Exchange. MR. CONLON ASSAULTED. Two Former Employes of the Traction Company Attack Him for Revenge, So He Alleges. Andrew Conlnn, line foreman of the Scranton Traction company, swore out a warrant before Alderman Howe yes terday afternoon for the arrest of John M. Allicrtson, Martin Mullen and F. liilnney on the charge of assault und battery. Mr. Conlnn left the general office. of the compuny at 10.20 Saturday night with orders to do some work on the wires the next day. On his way down the street he met one of his men and told him to be around at a certain time on Sunday. From this man he learned that another lineman was then down In the pool room of the Lackawanna Valley house. Mr. Conlon went down and entered the barroom of the hotel. He says that the three defendants were gathered uround the bur drinking, und Albertson immediately charged him with being the cause of his discharge from the position of conductor. Mr. Conlon did not want to ursue with them and start ed to bo out, but they refused to let him, and pushed him back into the toi let room, where they pounced upon him. He received several blows In the face and was kicked In the sides. The bartender happened to be in the pool room ot the time. Albertson Is now employed ns bar tender ut a hotel on Franklin avenue. Mullen was formerly a conductor on one of the lines, nnd Phinuey Is a con ductor on the Green Ridge Suburban lino. Mr. Conlon told Allicrtson and Mullen that he had nothing to do with their discharge. Constable Penman was sent out with the warrants to arrest the defendants, and at. X.30 Albert sun and Phinuey were brought to Hie alderman's oflice. They entered bail for a healing this evening at S o'clock. Mullen vr.m not urresled. but it is expected that lie will be taken in und given a hearing with the other two. THE WHEEL. What though he rain weeps down the pane, And boulevards are mushy gray. Ami cycling hope-i are worse than vain This wet, unhallowed, dismal day Still shall my soul know Joy ami peace And rweet delight shall thrill my he.irt As, armed with rags and wrench and grease, I take my bicycle apart. One-hnlf the pleasure, 1 opine. Which focuses upon a wheel Is that ecstatic and divine Enjoyment 1 am wont to feel When l remove the nuts, or screw The sprocket off, or cut the chain, Or pull the Inner tube to view And try to put R back again, I love to tinker with the forks To readjust the road guard strips To rut deft patches out ot corks Wherewith to mend tho handle grips; I take the bearing out and clean Them with a piece of gunnysack. And I am happy urd serene Until I seek to put fliem back. Oh. rainy days do fill my heart With rapture which I deem sublime, For then I take my wheel apurt Just an I did the other time; I Hie nnd rub anil twist and chop And-wrench and pull and paint and scrape And next dny take It to the shop And, have It put back Into shape.
