MORE ERRORS.
Gillun Pitched Great Ball, but
Grays Are Able to Win on
Siranlon's Errors.
the
Mi-i-anton had the Grays ill the hole to
I xf'nt or three-nothing until the
liit.t of tin' sixth, when the scuiv was
mi llie rankest klml of riinkcrlito
errors.
Willi one out ttassett was hit by
pili-lier mill MiiKliIro fumbled KiiiKht's
eaf.y bounder. He iielded the ball lute
to Massey and "Hill" kept the thing go
inir by falling over the hall and him
self, too. mid letting Bassett get to
third. Knight was forced nt second by
Tivauby, Basset! coming In on the play.
Fri-I singled Drnuby to second. Lyons
lilt a fumgo to left center, Frlel going
t'i third. Lyons began a steul and Gun
sen lieliled the bull clean to Hiekey.
'I'lie ;i hud u good chunce to run Ly
ons down, but began to play lag. Frlel
. as meanwhile hugging third.
Finally Lyons made a successful
breuk past Hiekey for second. The lat
ter threw wild to Moss on the bug- mid
File! brought in the tielng run.
THK WINNING HlN.
In the next Inning Conga n was pur
fusely hit by a pitched bull, furry
wouldn't see It that way, however.
'oor,im made u successful steal und
i'eoreil the winning run on Rassi.lt's hit
with (wo out.
illllon pitched the kind of ball that
iisuully wins games. He gave but live
lilts, two of them being in the fulul
sixth, after Scranton had missed three
chances to retire the side. Dolan, too,
with his speed and south paw curves,
twilled good bnll, but he was hit for
two eurned runs out of Scranton's
totul of three. He gave nine hits alto
gether. Anyhow, the game was one calculated
to please nnd each of the few hundred
spectators, on account of the uncer
tainty or the thing ,got his money's
worth of excitement. I'mplre Curry
was clearly wrong In declaring Murray
safe after a steal to third in the firth
inning and that furnished an enliven
ing feature for a few moments, during
which the cranks had a few unkind re
marks to make, but the Grays failed to
score and the Incident was forgotten.
It wns different, though. In the seventh,
when Coogan got in front of a pitched
ball and ambled to first. Curry
wouldn't decide that It was purposely
done. The result wus a stolen base and
iiassett s nit, which drought m the win
ning run.
SLOW r.F.GINWlNG.
Griffin on a walk nnd F.agau on a
single found themselves on the circuit
in the first inning, with only one out,
but Hiekey Hew out to center and Mas
Key fanned. Only nine men faced
Dolan in the next three innings. And
for four innings Providence was not
much more successful. During that
interval two bases on balls and Dolun's
double were all that Oillon permitted.
Scranton broke the ice in the fifth
Maguire singled and would have been
thrown out on an attempted steal but
for Frlel's miss of Coogan's throw,
which let the "Dude" get to third. Moss
drew four balls and Coogan threw wild
to entch him at second, Maguire com
ing home and Moss making third,
(iimsoii was retired at first and Gillon
forced Moss at the plate. Griffin singled
Gillon to third, but Massey was retired
ut first. After nil, the excitement had
netted but one run.
The two in the sixth were made with
two out. One was earned. Massey
and Maguire singled nnd each advanced
a base when Moss drew four wide ones,
The two runs came in on Gunson's
single. Gillon flew out to Drauby.
THEN CAME THE TROUBLE.
Then came the mess In the last half
nnd the unearned run in the seventh
ull of which has been described In the
foregoing.
It seemed like a sort of fatality that
In the seventh, eighth and ninth Scran
ton made one hit In each, but always
after two were out.

WiLKES-BARRE WINS A GAME.
Springfield Could Not Touch Pitcher
Keenan I'ntil It Was Too Late.
Wllkes-Rarre. Sept. . 11. In today's
jramo between ' Wllkes-Barre and
Springfield Keenon did the best pitch
ing and tip to the seventh Inning only
one run had been made oft his delivery.
Tn the seventh the visitors succeeded
In bunching their hits and made four
runs. Keenan was hit freely also in
the eighth and ninth, and the Springers
came near tioing the score. Lezotte
who was sold to Pittsburg yesterday
did some remarkable batting. He
faced the opposing pitcher five times
and made two doubles and two singles.
He was applauded for his good work.

Scranton's hopes of finishing better than

percentage will be only .3m:.

ST. THOMAS' COLLEGE.
Work the Xaveriaa Brothers Are
Doiag in That lastitntioa.
The advent of the Xaverian Brothers
to St Thomas' college supplies a want
that was long felt in Soranton-niinicly
the union of a thorough busin.-s edu
cation with the classics and sciences.
There are institutions n our city where
a good business or a goul classical, or
even a good scientific education might
be obtained; but no one whore all three
are combined.
Xaverian Brothers have achieved
great success in their schocLi which are
chiefly devoted to preparing younK men
for the professions and for the business
walks of life. One of ttu? most suc
cessful teachers in the Xnv.iau order
is Brother Angel us. at prvnv?nt director
of studies at St. ThoniiW. Pupils
taught by his in other cities have ut-
tuined highest honors In civil service
and competitive examinations. Studer.ts
entering St. Thomas will receive com
plete instruction Jn commercial nc-
counts, book-keeping, type-writing and
short-hand. The system of short-hand
taught by the brothers Is) the celebrat
ed Pernin system lately adopted at the
high school at Harrlsburjr, Pa., and in
the public schools of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Writers in thlB system have no dfflcul
ty in reading; their own notes even
yearsV after they were written; they
wlllso read one another's notes with
sotnuch ease an ir these were written
in long hand.
Pupils taking the full business course
ut St. Thomas' college will be certain
to become expert in ahort-hand and
type-writing. But the business course
loes not Include these two branches
merely, but also the complete bound of
comprehensive English education
from 'English giummsr and composi
tions tn English rhetoric und English
literature.

HORSE WALKED UPSTAIRS.
I'nnsnul Vent of One or the Century
Company's Animnl.
One of those bin. brawny horses used
by the fire department walked up a
flight of stairs at the Century Hose
house during the early hours of yester
day morning and arous.nl the perman
ent man, Joseph Helpman, who was
asleep.
It was a most unusual incident. The
horse had been furnished to the com
pany on trial by Frank Cobb and is a
fine specimen of its kind. During the
morning It broke through lt fastenings
and walked around downstairs for a
time. Seeing an open doorway the
animal made for it and then began the
march upstairs. The permanent man
heard the heavy footfalls. When he
opened the upstairs door the horse's
head greeted him. A little difficulty
was had in getting the animal back.
