FOURTEEN INNINGS.
Scranton Wins a Remarkable Game,
k'eister, Aloss, Mzuire, Eagan,
Akssey and Truby the Heroes.
Pcranton tlefati'd Toronto In a most
1-fnmrkalilr 14-innltiKaiKUini'iit tliat was
full to tho brim with the kind of fast,
liard playing that brings KludiifSs to the
Inart of the must ilejeeted crank. It
was a same which offered 124 lieldhiR
ilian.is, nut of which only four errors
were made by both teams and none of
the errors hnd anything to do with the
tmi-getdn,,-. If that kind of base bull
isn't worth seeiiiR then the men Who are
liui'klntr ii with their sood money ought
to get out of the business. About 7iMI
spectators were present.
Scranlon's two runs In the lirst were
tii.-d by the Cnmullaiis in the fifth. In
the thirteenth Toronto tallied one and
Si iaiil.m did likewise. The Canadians
failed to score In the fourteenth, though
i hey got a runner on second with only
one t tit t.
It was In the last half that T.ig Hill
Massey did the (rick with two out. lie
pushed one against eeiiterlield fence for
two sacks, scoring' Kagan, who had
reached lirst on a force hit. till had
for ten days been disappointing a host
of admirers who had been expecting him
to knock the covers off most of the balls
In the league. He got his lamps at work
yesterday just in lime to win the game
and bring buck a big hunk of popular
ity he had lost.
NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Hut Bill wasn't the only hero. Kcis
ter, .Moss, Maguire and Eagan, for
Scranton, and Truby, for the enemy,
played ull kinds of good ball, while Oil
l in and Staley, the two twlrlers, would
be pardonable for throwing bouquets ut
themselves.
duff ney, too, comes In for his share of
credit, his umpiring not causing u kick
from either team, excepting once In the
i. ui teenth when Jack O'Brien blocked
a double play after being forced at sec
ond. Truby protested In vigorous lan
Hitage and- Oaffney would have , been
justified in calling two out If Truby had
tried to make the last half of the double.
He had nJt done ho and there was no
rule nor reason why Clnffney should
have called more than one out, nor did
lie do SO.
.W four Inflelders and no outfielder
ever played better ball at Athletic park
than did Truby, Kelster, Moss and Ma
guire ami Kagan. Truby had the mar
velous record of sixteen accepted
chances, something very unusual in
second base territory. One was what
seemed to be an Impossible running one
hand stop and asrist. Kelster's. Ma
guire's and Moss' splendid work was
much of the same nature. Each had
three put-outs and five nFsists, very few
of the chances being easy.
MACtTIRE'S HA11D WOKK.
Maguire would have been almost ex
cused for ''mls.sing several balls that
came down at him with cannon-ball
speed, but nothing he touched his hands
to escaped him. Moss and Kelster cov
ered acres of territory, and It would be
hard to Imagine better work by the
pick of the big league. Kelster made a
marvelous slop of Herger's bad throw
In the fourteenth to prevent Truby's
Bteal. The ball went at least five feet
away from the bag toward third, but
the nimble little baseman halted It,
His triple tied the score In the thir
teenth. Only three of Eagan's eight accepted
chances could be termed easy. The
other live were corralled while the
fielder was on the run. The one ho
missed was due to his anxiety to field
the ball quickly and hold a runner on
vecond.
. A base on balls to Meanoy, Jack
O'Brien's triple and Eagan's single
gave Scranton two runs In the first.
Toronto tied It In the fifth on Wrlghfs
triple, a hit-by-pltcher, Truby's single
and Staley's sacrifice.
When riine Innings had been p:ayed
fSerantnh had made five bits and one
error, and Toronto two hltB and two
rrors. Scranton had gone down one-two-three
in all but three Innings and
Toronto In all but four innings. None
of the errors had had anything to do
with the runs.

tally and Scranton tied It. Tom O'Brien
poked one down the left line for two

were quickly disposed of. Wright
singled to left, scoring O'Brien, but
the former was nipped on an attempt
ed steal to second. For Scranton, Moss
hit one that was too warm for Smith '
to handle and stole second. Berger
struck out and Olllon flow out to left.

run. ' Meaney flew out to Freeman.

THE WINNING RUN.
Fourteenth Inning With one out
Truby hit to left for a base and stole
second, Staley Hew out to Kelster and
rviehanty had the third strike called
on him. it was a plate-cutter and Dele-
hnnty had not objection to offer.
For Scranton Jack O'Brien singled to

dished out an lnshoot that was Just to
Bill's liking. He swung his bat
against it with such force that the
leather sailed high Into the air and hit

TORONTO GETS WARD.
Scranion'a ev-Sccond Baseman Signs
wiia the Canadians Hutchinson
May Go to Paterson.
Frank Ward, the second baseman re
leased by Scranton Thursday night, was
signed for Toronto by Manager Buck
enberger lust night. He will play
against Scranton today.
Ward's engagement is mainly due to
Truby's Injured ankle, which was badly
wrenched again yesterday, and it crip
pled him so that he could not have
played -for some time. Piggy's friends
will probably turn out In full force to
see what he can do against his old
loves.
Hutchinson, who also was released
Thursday night, is negotiating with
Paterson, of the Atlantic league. A
question of salary Is all that prevents
his being signed,
DIAMOND DUST.
Toronto again today.
Wot t'e'ejl now. Well, we don't know.
Buffalo comes next, for three games, be
ginning Monday.
Berger's steady backstopplng had much
to do with G'tlon's good work.
Now that Bill Massey has got a start,
look out for more two-baggers.
A "hem wheel" was "Dutch"' Betger's
reference to Truby's lumed ankle.
Johnson and Berger will be the Heranton
battery today. Ditieen will pitch for the
Canadians.
Kelster ami Ha Kan dispute I tie superior
ity of each other's speed and the question
will be settled III a 100-yard sprint for JJ10
H side at Athletic park this morning.
What umpire except Oaffney could have
adjudicated a fourteen-lnning game In
which the Toronto scrupper figured and
had but 0110 kick coming? The King is a
peacherino.
Is Sunday Oritfln superstitious? He had
Johnson on the coaching lines in the ninth,
Ijovett in the tenth, Hickey In the elev
enth, Bowerman In the twelfth, Johnson
in the thirteenth and Hickey and Bower
man in the fourteenth.
Manager Burns made such a strenuous
kick against Umpire Larry Kettrick's de
cisions in Sunday's game that President
Powers removed the Scrantdnlun to Ro
chester. He Is a very satisfactory umpire
despite Mr. Burns' objection to him, and
will be hard to replace,' should the presi
dent go so far as to remove hlrp. Buffalo
Express. Funny that no other club eun
lolerute Kettrlck. If Buffalo likes him so
well the team should be compelled to play
against him away from home in ull the
games this trip. What a howl Manager
Kowe would raise. SpringOeld I'nion.
Kettrlck seems to be getting along all right
down at Wilkes-Barre. where Buffalo Is
playing. The little trouble the Union man
und Kettrlck had several years ago will
milltnte against the former's roasts. We
would advise them to kiss and make up.
Says the Springfield Union: "Umpire
John Gaffney wus yesterday reinstated
by President Powers to the league staff nt
the earnest solicitation of the umpire's
many local friends in conjunction with
those In other cities. He left to report in
Scranton today. Gaffney has been per
fectly sober since his release and is likely
to remain so under the terms of his rein
statement. He agrees to accept simply
his hotel and traveling expenses to the end
of the season, the league holding back his
salary and forfeiting it entirely if he
hre.-ks away again. Pnfsldent Powers has
dcr.s a creditable thing and It will benefit
tho game." Sanborn unintentionally does
Gaffney an Injustice and has been Incor-rf-ctly
Intormed. The umpire was taken
back because President Powers learned
that Gaff's failure to report at Buffalo
was due to trouble with one of the Buffalo
players. Captain Fields, and not to inso
briety. The solicitation of friends had
nothing to do with It, beyond their testl
mony or the real reason why Gaffney did
not umpire the game in Buffalo. He had
been sober not only since his release, but
for a long time before it. Concerning tho
salary arrangement, that existed for
weeks before Gaffney wus last released
and there was also the understanding that
he was not to be re-engaged nor paid that
portion of his salary withheld If he broke
over. That he was re-engaged Is his vindi
cation. AMATEUR BALL NOTES

BICYCLE MILE
RIDDEN IN 1:03
Record (or Human Speed Is Set by
Plucky E. E. Anderson.
ENGINE WAS HIS PACE-MAKER
Remarkable Feat Was Accomplished
at Oldcnbnrs, Ill.--I.imit 1 Not Yet
ReachedTrack of Board Plank
Was I'sedWhecluian Finished but
Three Seconds Ochiud the Panting
Locomotive.
K. E. Anderson has made a mile on
a blcycla faster than any mortal ever
before covered an equal distance
through his own exertions.
He did it in one minute and three
seconds.
The fent was performed under condi
tions not the most favorable, but the
attempt at a speed of one mile a mln
ute clearly demonstrates) that the rider
can make it in less than sixty sec
onds. This Anderson may try to do it
within the next two weeks, probably
Sunday, August 23, If arhrangetnents
can be made with the railroad. He rode
a nlnety-two-gear instead of 120-gear
wheel, as first Intended, and this fact
adds to the wonder of the feat when the
rapidity of the revolutions of the pedals
is considered.
TORPEDOES USED AS MARKERS.
The affair was managed admirably.
The Bluff Line train, which left the
Union station nt 1.30 o'clock, made the
run to Alden, III., ten miles above the
Merchants bridge, without delay. In a
short time engine No. 7 and the es
pecially prepared coach were on the
main track. After the guests, officials,
timers and reporters were on hand,
Engineer Ed. Ebetie, who was greutly
enthused over the task he was about
to undertake, took a spin down the rood
to see that it was all right. Men with
torpedoes were on hand, and on, the re
turn trip fixed them to the track. They
were placed on the start and finish of
the mile, and these points were also
marked by two white flags, but these,
in addition to 'the whistle of the engine
were insufficient to guide the cyclists.
A second trip was made n.t thirty
miles an hour, with Anderson following
In his trials he hud not used torpedoes
und he did not know whether or not
their noise would be audible to him
behind the coach. He crossed the
starting line, heard the cartridges, and
went half a mile at a speed of thirty
miles an hour.
The second run followed a few mtn
ues later. It was intended as a "warm
up" to accustom Anderson to the tor
pedoes and a high speed. Engineer
Ebetie set his double-stacked engine
for fifty miles an hour and Anderson
followed for a quarter of a mile after
the speed was attained. He did not
hear the torpedoes at the start going
at that speed, and it was seen that
they were useless except as an aid to
the timers, who rvide on the back plat
form. HOW THE FEAT WAS DONE.
The third trial was the last. Ander
son retired to Mr. Oldenburg's house
and was rubbed down by his faithful
colored trainer, Edward Buckner. While
lying on the couch he displayed not
the slightest sign of having made any
muscular exertion, nor was lie in a
perspiration which one would expect
after following a truln ut flfty-mlles-an
hour speed. When he appeared for
the final trial he looked as fresh a
before. He wore "goggles" to prevent
cinders from flying In his eyes, and
also wore sleeves and a cloth around
his neck as a protection against hot
cinders, which hud burned him yester
day in his trial heats.
At the starting point nearly 100 per
sons hud gathered, and as Anderson
gave the word to go there was dead
silence Instead of shouts, which bespoke
dread and not enthusiasm at the
thought of a bicyclist racing aglnst time
behind an engine and train. Slowly the
coach moved away from the platform,
and when loft feet had been covered it
took a spurt. Anderson had his eye
fixed on the white streak of point on th
black boarding of the path, and thnt
wus the only object In life to him for the
next two minutes. He did not let it get
awuy further than ten feet until within
500 feet of the finish. 1
RIDES BEHIND DEAFENING DIN.
Engineer Eherle pulled his throttle
wide open after passing the first quar
ter, and the engine, coaches and bicycle
went by the start of the mile at fifty
eight miles an hour. The torpedoes ex
ploded, the engine whistled and the
rider's friends shouted to him to keep
up. He was deaf to nil individual
sounds. The roar of the train, the rush
ing of wind and the sound of the heavy
mass going over the boarded track cre
ated a din that deafened and almost
terrified him.
When Anderson realized that he was
on the mile he bent slightly and pedaled
away, keeping almost against the Iron
rod that was meant to keep him at a
safe distance from the car. Several
times he almost struck it. Before a
quarter of the mile was run the speed
recorder in the engine registered sixty
two miles an hour and this speed was
maintained until the finish.
At a point almost midway between
start and finish a wagon road crosses
the track and causes a grade of about
one foot In fifty feet. Anderson lost n
few feet on this slight raise, but on the
down grade he felt in danger of col
liding with the guard and back ped
aled. It could hardly be called a pres
sure on the rising pedal, but it was
enough to pull him fifteen to twenty
feet from the train.
LONGEST MILE HE EVER RODE.
He quickly put on more power,
caught the train again and rode close
up until within 500 feet of the finish.
Everyone on the platform was breath
less with excitement, and a shout was
given by a few when they realized
how near was the finish. Suddenly
Anderson drew away from the train
and a second or two later the torpedo
at tho finish exploded. Anderson said
after the race that he thought he
heard the torpedoes, since the mile
had been the longest he had ever rid
den, and he was waiting: to hear the
noise that would announce the finish.
He stopped a short distance from
the finish flag and the train came to
a stop within three-fifths of a mile.
Returning to the starting point the
train picked -tip the rider and cheers
greeted the train bearing the hero all

RECORDS BROKEN.
Sensational Features at the L. A. W.
Meet' Races a! Louisville A
Serious Accident.
Louisville, Aug. 14. The races of the
L. A. W. meet today In the finishes and
the time made bordered on the sensa
tional. One of the most Important
world's records, the one mile competi
tion was broken. The one mile national
championship was decided so far as the
present progress of the circuit Is con
cerned. It was won by Tom Cooper.
Arthur Oardlner did the record-breaking
in the mile open, paced by John S.
Johnson and J. W. Parsons, the Aus
tralian champion, with thirteen starters
in the race. Gardiner rode the mile in
2.01, beating the record of 2.01 4-5, es
tablished by Bald just a week ago at
Buffalo. He won by a phenomenal
sprint in the stretch, which he entered
ten lengths behind Sanger, who led the
field. Chairman Oldeon stated after
ward that it was the most rapid burst
of speed that he had ever seen or heard
of. Cooper was not entered in this race.
In the mile national championship
Cooper, who won, had the closest call
of the year. He beat Owen Kimble
across the tape only half the diameter
of his front wheel. Bald was third, a
length behind Kimble, the others being
bunched behind.
The first serious accident of the meet
occurred In the five mile state champ
olnship, . C. Mitchell's chain broke and
he fell. Karl Thome, the Kentucky one
mile champion fell over hltn, and three
other riders landed on Mitchell before
he could rise. The letter's collar bone
was fractured in two places.
The unusual spectacle of all the racing
men on the track threatening a strike
against the officials was presented
after the first race. When a race had
been started during the preceding"
days of the meet, all riders were order
ed off the track. They were sent to
quarters from which they could not
see the races. A meeting was held this
afternoon, and as soon as the races be
gan, the riders sent a committee to
George D. Gideon, who was today ref
ereec, and demanded that he allowed
them to come out of quarters. While
on the track the members of the racing
bourd vlii are attending the meet
presented to the meet club a set of
resolutions adopted at a meeting of
the board, In which they declared that
the Louisville meet was the best ever
held by the League.
At a meeting of the membership
committee of the L. A. W. this morning
Dr. T. V. Tlnsdall, of New York, was
expelled on the charge of "conduct
unbecoming a member of the L. A. W."
Tlnsdall was sent to the New York
leglnluture to secure the pasage of a
bill requiring railroads to carry bl
cyles as baggage, but Instead of sup
porting the bill, he offered an amend
ment favorable to railroads, for
which It Is alleged he received
connid era Ule compensation. The
bill, without the amendment, how
ever, was passed. Tonight the visiting;
wheelmen were given an excursion up
the river.
