THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE TUESDAY MOENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1896.
BALTIMORE GOT
A BIG SURPRISE
Scraoloo'g Scrub Base Ball Team Was
Not Very Easy.
IIP AGAINST "TOMMY" JOHNSON
The t at Round Twirlrr Dished Out n
Few of IUh lleservc Mock ol'l'boice
t lines-. :l,.'i(M iVrsous Saw the
Orioles W iu by Two Kuii0.cill
Signed by Soriiulon.
It was a question whether "Hughpy
JiiiiIhks r th- base ball same anil Its
ittlfiukint feature was or were "ze
wan wuntle uffulre" yesterday. It
makes mi ilinVrenre, anyhow, from the
standpoint tit the real crank, who
looked at the thing from solely a Ituse
Lull point of view. The Orioles won hy
the score of 4-2. but they hail ti do
(tome lively liunipInK to save their
reputations.
Ordinarily, a base ball Rome Is that
find not bint; else, but yesterday It was
.titteieiit. It was a sort of biK rlrcus,
:i luir crowd, a division of gate re-n-ipls
uinontt the players, a presenta
tion of boiiiiiets and a costly sc arf pin
tn- pin was jjiven to "lluKhey." of
i 'nurse- and a baiuitiettln? tiflair at
Avca us a wind-ill In the eveninir.
The wind-up was on "lliiKhpy's" nc
ioliiiI also. Hut in all the hurley bur
! y of everything Haltiinoreun, some
thing of tlie Illinois fell 'to the lot of
"Tommy" Johnson, Sir.inlon. and the
tcuin of picked professionals who camp
rltirlntr tlie winter in these iartlcular
M ods.
Tin-re were nearly 3,!iHl persons at
tin- is lime and these included nearly
l.iiiw I loin Mooslc, Avoca and other
m-ailiy localities. These admirers of
tlie (."ii-Hl shorlutop begun arrivlnir In
tl riiy about 1 o'clock. They Includ
ed men. women and children, and Ihey
itlilii't stop in shop, lulk or drink until
they iviii hed the park Bates. Ten aX
tru trolley cars were sent down the
valley to briiitf the crowd up, but the
b n cars were wholly inadequate to au
i'..ionii.d.ite the trallic. Every car that
arrived from Avoca and vicinity bore a
very striking resemblance to a barrel
if brown siiKar in hot summer. Only
the trolley poles were visible; the pas
."uifeis, many of them, seemed to be
li.ini.rinu; on by teeth and eyelashes.
liltKAT BLKACHER CROWD.
The gates at the .park were opened
at o'clock, und within an hour'
each set of bleachers was full and the
;rund stand was nearly so, and before
play was called the crowd had spread
liself over the Inside fences, up to the
li ft foul line and along the main fence
on the right Held side.
Those who came early saw what was
really the best playing of the afternoon
the warming up of the Orioles. Kven
in National league cities when Hnltl
inore is on the card the audience gath
ers early to see the champions practice,
to It was not surprising that a Hcranton
crowd of spectators should go wild
over It. The dashing, Hitting, fast and
verilible acrobatic style of play occa
sioned almost a continuous sound of
uppl-iuse. During the twenty-five min
utes of practice not a man of the whole
nine was inactive or silent. To the less
Informed student of the game It was a
slsip and dash of players and ball, per
formed so rapidly that it was diflicult
lo separate the combination.
i-'n It was in the game, but with the
marked addition of the whole team
Playing as one man, each encouraging
the other, never the semblance of hesi
tation or a misplay. It was all very
ttcll illustrated why the three-time
champions are Invincible. They Infus
ed too a little of that kicking faculty
i lint has heliied make them famous,
hut stopped It after they got a lead of
two runs In the fifth Inning. With
Itiiblnson to "jolly" the umpire, the ln
tie., with the exception of Keltz, to
chime in with a concerted kick and the
outfield ever ready to take a hand, it
is no wonder Baltimore gets a little as
sistance In that particular. Hut the
audience rather liked It, Umpire Ket
rh k won able to return a compliment
or two und the.Hcranton players didn't
care.
JOHNSON WAS PITCHING.
Meanwhile "Tommy" Johnson was
pitching brilliant ball. Right hits were
made off him, but two in the first In
ning, when a run came In, were the
scratchiest kind of fungo scratches,
one was hit at Johnson too hard to
lie handled and one was fielded clean
ly by Dean but went too slowly to
Hist. Kour were all the Orioles de
served. Corbet t, who returned from
Keranlon to Baltimore a month before
the close of the Kustern league season,
gave evidence of having recovered! his
nerve und con t nil. He gave six hits.
'1 luce more would have been charged
iil against him but for two running
latches by Hrudle and one by Keeler
that would have caused sotnw of the
btst hastem league fielders to turn
black with envy, Broil ie showed his
ability lo judge and get tinder longr
tiles by catching them in practice with
ids hands behind his Iku k while run
ning in the Hume direction us that of
the ball.
Johnson was seriously handicapped
by having behind him a team out of
V Mi li only three, himself, Orlllln and
Ward, had ever played together. How
ever, the game they all played was
mm It better than could have Is-eli
Imped for. "Jimmy" Dean, In short
Held, was the best surprise. One of
bis two errors was on a dilllcult chance
and the other was not the easiest In
the world. Of his four accepted chuni'es
two would have done credit to the
only "llughey" and in addition he
blocked a eedy grounder buck of sec
ond. O'Neill,- the Mlnooka lad. after tlie
ifuuie, was signed by Hcranton for next
season. That fact sutllclently explains
whether his work wa good or not.
i 'oiisldeiing his limited experience he
tlid better work than could have been
expected of htm. Hairing Ida slowness
.in throwing to bases there was nothltiK
tu criticise, but there was enough alert
loss and ginger in his style to indi
cate that he will prove a. good backstop-.
To pass comment on any one of the
champions would include ull of them,
though Jennings and itoblnson had the
greater opportunity to work.
THAT SCARF PIN.
The scarf pin presented to .Tennlivgs
wax an opal set In diamonds, and was
handed him by Cmpire Kettrick when
he came to bat In the Hist Inning.
Tlie event broke up the game for about
two minutes, during which the players
gathered about the shortstop and em
pire Kettrick made the announcement
that the article had been "presented to
Mr. Jennings by his admirers In
.Mooslc and Avoca." Then the game
proceeded and Jennings showed his ap
preciation by scratching a two e
fungo to short left. Shafer and Dean
euch got a bouquet and Corbett found
awaiting him at the hotel a box of

handsome scarfs from some unknown
uilinlrer.
Sci anion was first at bat. but a
driver to left by Sharer, followed oy a
double play with one already out. put
a quick termination to the half. Bal
timore was more fortunate. McGraw
hit one to right center for three bases,
the third ack being a gift by reason
of the ball rolling beneath a pile of
poles near the fence. Keeler popped a
fungo over Dean's head and MeOraw
scored. Keeler being out for trying to
tuke a base too many. Then came
Jennings' opal-pin hit. Keeley fouled
out und Jennings was caught napping.
Only six men faced Corbett in the
second and third. With one out in the
second Kelts' single was followed by a
double play. In the third Dean's low
throw to first, a force hit. a fly out to
Ward nnd Keeler's single, which Dean
did well to stop, placed two on the cir
cuit, but Jennings was an easy out
from Johnson to Tlghe.
Doubles by Ward and Tlghe earned
Scranton the run that tied the score
in the fourth. After Ward's hit Shafer
hit a driver to right that would have
been safe but for Keeler's marvelous
running catch. With Tighe on second.
Grlftin got a walk. Smith gave them
a life, but Dean was stopped at first.
Baltimore's three in the fifth were on
Dean's low throw to llrst. Robinson's
triple, MH '.raw's single and two stolen
bases and Jennings' single.
DKAN'S T1IRRR-HAOOKR.
Dean's three baser to left and Mill
ion's fly to Keeler in the seventh
earned Scranton's second and final run
and the last run of the game. The

TWAS AVOCA'S GREATEST NIGHT.
People Turned Out Kn .Masse to
Honor Hughry nud Other Players,
Every day the papers teem with ac
counts of ovations to McKinley and
Bryan, telling how thousands and
thousands of people travel hundreds
of miles und stay up of nights to see
hear and show their appreciation of
one or the other of these great men
who are foremost in the public mind
at present, but these affairs are as
naught, in the matter of genuine, pure,
unadulterated hlp-hlp-hooray, when
compared to the reception given to
"Hughey" Jennings and the Baltimore
team by the people of Pleasant Valley
last night.
Avoca, the principal town of the val
ley, was the scene of the event, and it
is quite safe to say that In Its archives
Monday, Sept. 28, 186, will ever be Its
red-letter day, with letters a foot long.
Kverybody was there, save the sick,
halt and blind. They had come on two
former occasions to do honor to their
"Hughey," but this time they came
and brought the babies because
"Hughey's" colleagues were to be
there, and they wanted to outdo their
former efforts to show the other mem
bers of the team what "Hughey's"
neighbors thought of him. It Is put
ting it light to say that they convinced
the champions that they thought well
of "Hughey." The "champs" con
fessed they never saw anything like
It, and they spoke the truth.
The team went down on the 7.50
Delaware and Hudson train. All ac
cepted the invitation with the excep
tion of Manager Hanlon, who was in
disposed and regretfully had to stay
behind. They were in merry mood and
were prone to guy Jennings about his
native heath.
THEY JOLLIED HUGHEY.
He had. no doubt, regaled tlwm with
stories and descriptions of the various
places thereabout for ever and anon
as the train sped onward, he would
be ussailed with, "Tell us when we
come to Mlldtown, Hughey." "Do we
puss through "Stark's Patch?" or "I
hope there wton't be a. freight car In
the way to prevent us from seeing
Mooslc," Hughey took it all good nat
uredly, as It was meant, and content
edly told them "Just wall and you'll
see a town what is a town."
At Mooslo a reception committee
boarded the train and distributed but
ton hole bouquets among the guests.
A crowd whs at the station and lusty
cheers were given for Jennings and the
Baltimore. But It was when the train
pulled Into Avoca that the cheering took
place. Jennings led the way out of the
train, and ns he apiieured on the plat
form a yell went tip that must huve
been heard over in Duryea. The orowd
gathered around him am he stepped
Prom the train and fairly carried him
to the carriages. The Connellton band
was there, tM. and they blew and
drummed as they never blew und
drummed before. Kverybody wore the
Orioles' colors, orange a mi black. Orange
is hardly a iHipular color In Pleasant
Valley, but this was an occasion when
"the feiist was greater than the fat."
When the guests had been seated in
the carriages and "Hughey" succeeded
In getting his hand released for a mo
ment, a procession was formed, with
the band al the head, und the start
made for O'Mulli y's hull. On the way
up Main street, which wns lined with
people, there was one. continued suc
cession of cheers. When the team was
going from the carriages into the hall
there wus another seusou of concen
trated yelling and again as they en
tered the hull, which was pretty well
tilled by those who were cute enough
to forego the reception at the depot
and a sight of the parade to get seat's
in the hall, the cheering was renewed.
ESCORTED TO THE STACK.
When (he team had gotten Inside" the
crowd followed and the hall rapidly
filled up, until there wasn't room for
another, standing or sitting. The
team were escorted to the stage and
sat around in minstrel style, with Jen
nings occupying the central position.
Near him sat his gray-haired father,
the greatest base ball crank In the
valley, his wrinkled face beaming
with pride and pleasure. The pro
gramme was opened by James Mc
carty, chairman of the reception com

M. P. Corcoran was Introduced as
chairman of. the evening und there
was cheering some more.
Attorney W.,M. Gillespie, the speak
er of the evening, followed and the
cheering: was renewed. In fact every
thing was cheered. The crowd was
there to cheer and cheer it did at every
occasion. There was also a clever
speech by Harry tl. Merrill, sporting
editor of the Wtlkes-Rarrei Keocfd;
vocal solos by Francis Mackln. of
W likes-Barre; Misn Blanche Banlleld,
of Duryea; Mls Sadie Doherty, of

and Robert Weber; recitations, by
William Jennings, a younger brother
of the hero, und a cute little tot named
Valsie Banlleld. Miss Kate Saltry was
accompanist. v
At the conclusion of the programme
Jennings made a speech, and for him
self and the Baltimore club thanked his
townspeople for the grand reception.
The team were then taken out to VVhe
lun's and banqueted and upon their re
turn to the hall found the flavor of the
youth of the valley dancing In their
honor. Just how late the festivities
were prolonged we will omit for feur
Manager Hanlon might hear about it.
WORLD'S RECORD BROKEN.
John Johnson nud Jimuiie Michael
Uring Down the Bicycle Time.
Ti-enton. N. J.. Sept. 2S. The League
of American Wheelmen national circuit
meet at Interstate fair today was a
success In every resoect. Two world's
records were broken. These were the
mile record which John S. Johnson
brought down to 1.47 flat and the 0-mlle
record which Jlmnile Michael lowered
to H.fd 4-6. Several accidents occurred
during the racing. In the final heat of
the one-mile professional race. Otto
Zlegler fell from his wheel and broke
his left arm near the wrist.
He was riding at a terrific speed at
the time and he thrust his arm forward
as he fell to protect his face. Jeremiah
1. Toman, of Trenton, fell from Ills
wheel during the half-mile amateur
handicap and sustained severe bruises.
Charles Hadfleld, of New York, sus
tained a fall resulting In a had internal
Inury. Howard U Hawkins, of Tren
ton, fell after the first lialf mile lit the
final heat of the one-mile race for
novices. He was badly cut and shaken
up. A. J. Pyle and Fred Rowhead were
also Injured.
WHIRLS OF THE WHEEL.
"There is a striking difference," says
a writer In the "Irish Cyclist, "between
the multicycles made by American and
European makers. The first named
usually place the rear rider behind the
driving wheel, while the Europeans al
ways place all the riders within the
wheel base. The American plan short
ens the wheel base, but places more
strain on, the driving wheel, and in
volves more heavy gearing. There Is,
however, no originality In the placing
of the rear rider behind the rear wheel.
This was the position on the very ftist
tandem ever built In which both riders
drove the rear wheel, but with only
one rider in front. I found that the
front wheel tipped up by reason of the
rear rider's weight behind the rear
wheel; and although Albone and I (who
designed and made it), hung heavy
weights on the front fork, the machine
would not steer, and so I designed the
next tandem with both riders inside the
wheel base. With more than two rid
ers, of course, the weight of the men
in front more than counterbalances
the weight of the one man behind the
rear wheel axle."
A new bicycle lock invented by a na
tive of Milwaukee is placed Inside the
front tubing of the frame, and does
not mar Its appearance. It Is cylindri
cal in form, one inch long, and Is se
cured by means of a rubber washer
expanded against the side of the tub
ing. Locking and unlocking are
brought about with a key which en
gages the bolt, forcing it outward or
inward, locking the front wheel at an
angle, thus bringing the bicycle out
of operative position. The device does
not engage either spokes or sprockets,
thereby doing away with possible In
jury to the wheel by attempting to ride
before unlocking the machine. It Is
said that the lock cannot be harmed
by hammering, filing or by the use of
nippers. It is also said that It can
not be "picked" and that It weighs less
than two ounces.
Columbus, ()., wants the 1S37 League
of American Wheelmen race meet.
Many inducements are offered, und the
Business Men's league of that city In
an Invitation says: "Our wide, well
paved streets, and our splendid coun
try roads will please the w heel i den of
the nation. Our parks and public
places will Interest them and, best of
all. Hint warmth of welcome Me can
give, the liberty, the freedom which
makes, euch guest feel ut home, wilt
lead the swift riders of the world to
congratulate themselves upon the Judg
ment that fixed the meet of 'H7 at Col
umbus." Columbus has UUKil) cyclists.
Hill miles of paved streets und u tine

The Spanish ladies look askance at
the cycle, us. Indeed, have the sterner
sex in sunny Spain until recently. Cy
cling is now reci.gnly.ed as u sport In
Valencia, und ulthoiigh fashionable so
ciety shows Indifference, because the
lower anil middle classes fust took it
up. the wheel Is slowly finding .favor
with them, especially with '.be young
er element. "As lor the ladles riding
I he wheel," write an agent, "it is
likely to take years or another genera
tion to be countenanced here; the se
dentary life of the fair sex in this coun
try cannot be easily overcome. In spile
of examples and u full appreciation
of the benellclal results. In my opin
ion the use of the bicycle by the ladles
of Spain will belli towards removing
the barrier which prevents them ft mil
going out unless attended by a duen
na: it will give them more courage
and Independence."
Parsons, the Australian chumpiou,
has failed to show hlt;h form In tluis
country, und it is said he will sull for
England next week'. He expected to
join the team In which Johnson Is the
star when he came lo this country, but
the negotiations did not go liiruuth.
