BEAT THE LEADERS.
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:

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;

fur the Yorkers. Boston lost fourth
place to Chicago by suffering defeat at
the Windy City. New York and Wash

It has been decided by the national

There will be two national shows, one

matter was referred, has decided that

Indications both buildings will be taxed
to their utmost to accommodate the ex

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

best European records. Murphy and
Wheeler are exceptionally fast riders,
ami will also be used to reduce the for

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.

If your wheel Is stolen, of course, you

Manager Iliickenberger, of the Albany,

Dean Is now considered the best pitcher

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.

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. '

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.
