The names wire two of the most
poorly iilayed in Scranton this season,
a loin! of leu errors behifr made by
Scrnuiuu and nine by W'llkes-Hurre,
Inn even with the had pluy and inirf
liaps the entertainment feature wa.s
good and th" excitement was Immense,
especially at the finish of each contest.
Wilkes-Bane had a, few hundred root
ers in the audience and they tank ad
vantage of each opportunity for mak
ing 1 heir presence known.
Johnson and f.uckey were the oppos
ing piulieis in tiu 11 1st mime and
neither had the advantage until the
ninth Innintr, and until this each had
received the same poor support.

STRIKING ANSON OUT.
Milh All His I'orlffoiir Year lie
Hit a (ireat Kve.
With all of his forty-four years as a
handicap. Anson Is one of the hardest
men in the profession for a pitcher to
strike out. It is not anything minimi
for the pitcher 10 secure two called
strikes on the veteran und work up the
spectators Into supplications of "Strike
him out!" an event which never fails to
give the most unbounded delight to the
rooters even on the Chicago ground.
Probably the pleasure of it is ull the
more acute because It is so rare, for with
even a handicap of two strikes it is
probably 29 to 1 that the old matt doesn't
get fooled on the third. There are but
two batsmen in the big league who can
not be deceived by a pitcher. One is
Anson, and the other Is Tlernan.
When Anson leaves the diamond, it
will not be the failure of his. "good eye"
which compels It. but the stiffening of
his muscles and Joints. His batting und
lieldlng are wonderfully preserved, lUt
his running Is each succeeding year
more and more fashioned after the trot
of a milk cow going home to her calf at
eventide.
There ae but a few of them left
these old-time heroes of the diamond.
Next to Anson comes Roger Connor. He
has not maintained his former prowess
so well as the Chicago man, nor has he
been so long In set vice. But he is look
ed upon as one of the old stars who
must soon pass Into private life. Every
year a report gets out that It Is Roger's
last season In base ball. The rumor Is
Just as regularly denied. Successful
base ball players seldom retire volun
lui lly. Waid was an exception, and his
friends will tell you thut t: has regret
ted il. The lull lc Id has an allraclioli
to those who make their llvintf ther.on
whlcli few are ever able to shake off.
They will prate ubout the slavery of a
ball player's life and talk about the des
potism of the magnates, but when they
are emancipated and delivered from the
despotic tyrants they go out Into their
freedom with many regrets and long
ings for the life which has gone by.

tioeckel has creuted the Impression th.it

tlie bleachers have against him is that be
wears his hair too long and rarlres his hat
on the back of his coco. But he "plays

"Jack" Chapman Is quoted in the New

are fast enough for the big leugue. They
lire If "Jack" can get a linger In a deal to
druft or buy them and If he doesn't loso
anything by it. Foxey old Jack.
Lajoie, without fuss or feathers, was
deeply in the game, both at the bat and in
the lield. If that young man keeps his
head within the eoullncs of his hut band
und scratches a few of the Joys of this
sporting town he will have a promising
future. Philadelphia Inquirer.
Cuplaln Duffy, of the Bostons, Thursday
made four hits for a total of 12 bases,
getting two home runs, a triple and a sin
gle. This record bus been beaten only
once. Delchanty made a total of 17 buses
on July and a total of 12 bases oil An.
gust 17.
By a unanimous mail vote of the Na
tional leugue, the form of players' con
tracts for next year will be changed, so
as to run from April M to October 1.1. in
stead of front April 1 to October 1. This
means Una the chumplonshlp season liere
atier will begin about May I and extend
into October. It also moans thut very few
of the league team will go south to train

A writer in Bicycling News suys:
"I atu no lover of the decoctions which
are generally, nowadays, mis-named
"temperance- drinks," and which are
often foisted upon the unsuspecting
cyclist. My unbelief has not been
weakened by the case of a friend, who,
last week, suffered u very severe and,
for a time, almost dangerous Illness
through imrtalting of a much adver
tised alleged beverage which posseses
tlie virtue of being iion-alcoholh:. Per
sonally, if drink must be taken, 1 pre
fer a draught of Kood ale, a,nd if cer
tain people like to make themselves
Idiots on it at mure or less frequent
Intervals, 1 fail to see that thut Is any
reason why I should be condemned 10
the various varieties of "tizzy drinks,"
which now abound. If the gentlemen
who with all good intentions, no doubt
preaih teetoalisiu as essential to the
salvation of both soul and body, would
instead, preach temperance, and de
vote some of iheir energies to the com
pulsory provision of good ule Instead of
tlie heterogeneous mixtures which are
unfortunately too plentiful, they would
he doing; a (treat deal more good und
their woek would be much more effec
tive. Taken as a whole. 1 don't be
lieve In any of the "ades" and their
kin when cycling und most experienced
wheelmen never go further than
"stone ginger," a thing which, when it
Is Ken Mine, Is good, but when it i-'ti't
well It Isn't.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Carbondale, Sept. 7. The first an
nual field day between Carbondale and
Scranton was a decided success. The
day was perfect for any kind of ath
letic exercises, and while it was not too
cool to keep the spectators from enjoy
ing themselves the heat was not such
that the contestants suffered.
The number of people wln witnessed
the sports was quite large and all
seemed to bo well pleased with the
events. They were good-natured, too,
and took the delays which occurred in
the best of humor.
The different events were nil hotly
contested and while we fulled to come
out on top It was easy to see that there
Is plenty of good material In our boys
which will come out with proper train
ing. This was especially marked In
putting the shot, throwing the hammer
and In high jumping, when a know
ledge of how to do each properly would
probably brought lis out victorious.
Keese, of Scranton. deserves especial
credit for his work, winning the 440
yard dash in 59 2-5 seconds. He also
came iu tlrst in his quarter In the relay
race, ilooney, for Carbondale, showed
up In good form and won much praise.
SOMF. EXCITING EVENTS.
The most exciting events of the day
Were the 100, 220 und 440 yard dashes
and the relay race.
In the 100 yard dash Mooney. of Cur
boiidule, and Reese and Tropp of Scran
ton, started. All the men 81 rived hard
to reach the line und Mooney finally
broke the string some feet in the lead
of Reese. It would have been closer
but that Reese and Tropp collided In
the start and thus lost them some time.
The time in this was, 10 4-."..
In the 220 yard dash Qiiliinnii and
Reese, of Scramoti, und ISctidell and
N'oalon, of Carbondale, started. The
race was evidently between Reese and
Uendall, the former finally forging
ahead and winning In 27 seconds.
Probably the prettiest race of the day
was the 440 yard dash. Reese and
Tropp entered for Scranton and Kirk
wood and Hockcnlierry for Carbondale.
Hockenberry and Reese were the fav
orites and these two fought it out until
the very finish when Keese won by a
small margin. Hockenberry made a
plucky race of It and pushed Keese
hard. Time 59 2-5.
In the relay race Scranton was loft
tn tho cold. The following were the
entries who ran the restiectlve quar
ters: Scranton Reese, Tropp, Olbbs,
Quinnan. Carbondale Oendall, Moo
ney, Klrkwood, Hockenberry. Keese
won the llrst quarter, but Mooney
came In so far ahead In the second
quartet thut Scranton had no chance.
The time was 4.12'.
