The fimatours played a. fairly good fielding gnme, but they were not sufllclently expert either at bat or In the field to give the professionals a very stiff argument. The one Moosle run was due to an error by Massey which permitted Gar vin to score from third. Massey was tagging Campbell between first and second nnd hit the runner on the shoulder, the bnll rolling to left center nnd allowing Garvin to get In. Score: SCRANTON. A.B. R. Walters, cf.

In four championship games ladt week tho Philadelphia club played before a trl lle over 50,000 people. Wllkes-Barre has commenced the weed ing out process. Tlerney, Hamilton, Vought, Lloyd und Weeks have been given their walking papers. Daly's Injured kneo Is nol entirely well. In yesterday's practice gatno with .Mooslc he did not run bases, Bonner and Magulre performing that duty for him. "St. Louis Is a base bnll cemetery," writes Joo Flanner In tho Sporting Xews. Wonder If tho deceased wings of Charley Comlskcy and Dude Latham are Interred there. "Fat" Meaney Is ill. Ho was conllned to his bed at tho Arlington Diotol yesterUiy and was under the care of a physician. An attack of tho grip seems to be his complaint. Wellner will r.ot bo able to play for at least a week. By that time his split hand will probably havo healed. Ho Is able to toss the ball eaoh day, but can do no catching with his right hand nor can ho do moro than throw the ball Just speedy enough to keep his ar,m In condition. In throwing from tho outlleld to tho homo plate, Sockalexls, tho Indian, who has a reservation In tho Cleveland outer territory. Is said to recall Joe Horning, who often startled tho fans of a decado ago with his long throws from dr-ep left, nailing runners from third with moro frequency than any outfielder of his clay. Chicago has seven pitchers and could spare Thornton; Louisville has four out fielders and could let go Holmes; Cincin nati has four fielders, nnd Holllday would bo a boon to gome club; Cleveland has a barrelful of pood pltcHers. nnd will havo to give two of them a vacation; Philadel phia has a surplus fielder, and Washing ton on extra llelder and an extra pitcher, Chris Von Dor Ahe thus sizes up the Brons: "After years of experience In the base ball business I havo come to the conclusion that best results can be ob tained through a player-manager, and for this rcaron I believe the Browns will glvo a good account of themselves this season, Tho Browns did fairly well under .Joo Qulnn's brief ndmlristration and braced up when Dowd took rhargo. Take tho New York Giants nnd see what Joyco did last year, and then look at Cincinna ti's record under Buck Ewlng's manage ment. Of courso I don't expect the St. Louis team to win tho pennant this sea son. I think tho championship Hts be tween Baltimore and Cincinnati, with New York close up."

How Kngllsh ConrlN Interprets nn Accident Policy. An English wheelman, while- on his bicycle, met with nn accident ami wns killed. He held an accident policy Hint stipulated that If ho was Injured or killed while rldlnu on a "passenrjer train, iiassenerer steamer, omnibus, tram car, (Ior cart, coach, carriage or other passenger vehicle," ho or his heirs should receive a certain nmount of money. The Insuring company -refused to pay, the case was taken to court, and the Judge decided that no valid claim for Insurance existed, any moro than If the man had been killed "on skates." This, says the Cycling Gazette, Is the English way of looking at it. In America the bicycle has been legally declared to bo a vehicle, and It Is cer tain that a different decision than this would have been handed down had tho case In question been tried before a court In this country. When It comes to misinterpreting law 'English Jurists hold a place that Is distinctly their own. Sterling at $100. liarncs at $100. Stearns at $100. Fenton at $100. Dayton at $100.
