Scranton Makes Rochester a Victim in a Stubbornly-Fought Contest of Unearned Runs. Scranton nlwajs extends the clad hand to Daniel Menial Simmon, man aser of tho Ko hevter club, exponent of things Ches-teilitldlan, IX-K-utoan nnd Kentlemanly base ball. He ami Jils black costumed knlRhts of the diamond wne Kiecttd b SU0 Mwctators at Athletic park jesterday when there could hae been no objection If half that number wpip piesent, us the v cather was damp and cold and an thliiK but laliulnted to quicken tho pulse of the cranks. The Uochrsteih came near thumlng hospitality to the four winds of henven and winning the pame, but their catchci, I'ntt rson, was a little off In hi. woik and theh pitch- r, Yeiilck, could not equal the splen did twilling of Moifr and time jou aie. The score was 1-2, tin' hits 7-1. the t-irois 3-4, all In Scianlon's faor. It shows a stubbornly contested game, but theie is no p-irt of the detailed score that f-hows the leal hilshnesj of the conic si. In instance, out oL the nine innings Scranton scored In but two nnd hnd men on bases but un able to .scoie in the Hochester nored In two Innings and missed goldpn op portunities In four. Notwithstanding th- few hits the intleldeis of both teams had putouts and assists galoio all of which shows that fast and shaip work kept tho hcoiv down as well as an absence of the festive hit, UMPIHi: KENNEDY 1MPJJOVHS. Plavei.s nnd spectators gave Umplio Kennedy a chance to till hlf position with ci edit. Only once was he at fault. He called a foul Magulre's drhe down the right line which sent Hagan to third and -with but one out. Hut that was. Kennedy's only slip nnd he gae evidence of ability to do good work. Morse was In fine fettle nnd had tho visitors severely twisted on his south wing delivery. More than this he mad" seven assists, neaily every one of which 1 eciulu'd quick, sine woik. His. aim and head wete jointly as much respon blblo ns any one thing for Scranton's fomth successive win. Of the four hits off him, one was in the first inning and unother was Etank'c Shannon's two-bare dilve to left center, but both the othei two hits vveie smashes that went down the Infield and weie stop ped but weio too warm to be fielded. Had Yculck's suppoit by Patterson been as good ns that given Moise by Gunson and Hoyd. the story might have been different. The ex-Wilkes-Hntroan pitched reieaikably well. He had un usual control and It Is to hl3 eredlj: that Daly, Heard, Hagan. Mnsscy, t nl got but seven hits for as mnny basci. Hor.nor, Heard and Mngulrr were ns busy as HIps mound a sugar ban el an 1 Mnguhe can be excused for his one er ror though it cost a mn.

Gunson sprained tho thumb of his light hdnd In the mhUt of the seventh Inning and tetlrod, Liojd taking his place. In only two lunlugi did Scranton score. In the first with O'liilcn and Uonnor iMsposed of, Daly 'vas given a wnlk nnd advanosd a has1 on Kid Shannon's paidonable muff of Ihaid'a fungo lack of thlid. A jiassed ball advanced each of tho two runnrs a ba3o and they scored on Hagan's grounder to center, Patterson fumbling the thiovv-ln from tho outlleld and per mitting I.ngau to get to second fiom wheie ho scored on Massoy's single. IteclVster got an unearned tun. in the last lialf of tho Jlist. Shannon valked and reached thlid or Eagan's failure to stop I.ynch's giounder Tho latter tiied n base too many and was put out by Honner on Eagan'a quick return of the ball. Dan Shannon pounded one at Morao and wns fielded out at first. Shannon, the kid, made a break for the plate and got it by a pretty slide, though he escaped hy only an eyeloah from being the fag end of a doublo pluy. Tho miners scored their final run In the seventh, Mngulro walked and was singled by Gunron to second. Moiso fenced tho latter, Magulro teaching third 'from whore ho scored on O'Bri en's fly to Hottenus, nochester'3 second and last run was made In tho eighth.

The Metropolitan, Hist of the big spilng handicaps, Is down for decision next Saturday. It will be lun ovr the Withers mile and piomlses to In Ins out u thoioughly lepiesentntlle Held. The following will in all probability be seen at the post; Heqtiltnl, Hastings, Klist Mnte, The Winner, Sir Walter, Hen Edei, l-'iee Advice, Eiandywlne, Hanwell, '1 he Fiiai, Geoige H. Ketcham, Voter, Cas seopla, Dochiiess. The other well known animals eligi ble to start are: Handspilng, Hen Hiush, Halinur, Halma, Gotham, Sem per Ego and Al,rol. Funk McCabu has had to Indulge Hnndsinlng nnd ma not feel justified In sending him to the post. Hen Hiush Is atlll bothcied with sinaln. nnd so far Campbell lias done little or nothing with him. Palmar Is a possibility. Halma, since his arrival from Cin cinnati, has been asked to stride out the handicap distance thiee or four tlme.s but on each occasion nfter he hns pulled up he has limped mound the paddock. The piospects of his ever see Ing the post Is decidedly gloomv. Gotham Is as big as a bullock and since his nnlval lit McCaffert's stable has only leielveel slow, steady woik. Semper Ego may iepioent the Chi cago contingent in place of Ene Ad vice ns he has been doing his shale of galloping In company with the other two candidates. Of those slated to carry silk, Hequital In his woik has moie than fulfilled expectation", l-'list Mate from the pio- peintlons he hns been treated to since his clcpnituie fiom Chicago Is evident ly a genuine candidate.

Jack Joyner will haw. Hiandywlne as fit as a fiddle, but whether he Is fast enough to live In such company the Issue alone w 111 show Hanwell has been w 01 king well by fits nnd staits. Of the five 3-yenr-olds, The Friar Is repotted to have impiovcel In most sat lsfactoiy fashion, nnd he Is confident ly expected to pi ove the best ot his nge. Geoigd II. Ketcham, who has been undei going a thoiough inepaia tlon nt Sniatoga, was thought so much of by his owner-trainer last fall that he retiui chased him nt nn advance af ter he had boon sold under the ham mer In England. As legauls Hen Eder, there Is every leason to believe that he has come back to his spring form of Inst season. All Gravesend Is unanimous In his ability to win. Fiee Advice, a n-yenr-old, with HO pounds, must he considered a factor, and espclally when It Is remembered he was the only animal to lower IIul mas colois In ISO.'. TONIGHT'S BOXINQ BOUTS.

Wilson is the coloied Individual who a few weeks ago got a declston over "Kid" Hioin. of this city, on the night of tho Judgo-Conloy fight. He is a ter illle puncher but will meet a man ci ed ited with moie science.

They pressed about the ropes nnd then a foul was claimed by Hurke's seconds. Kane gave Hurke the decision Just as a col lision between the two factious seemed Inevitable.
