HOCHCSTBR AT SPHINOriULiD.
BUFFALO WON OUT.
In the Ninth Inning Harper's Arm Lost
Part of Its Cunning and the Olsons
Did the Trick.
Fourteen hundred spectators yoster
day saw the Hlsons break their tie
with Scranton at the head of the j..ast
tem league race, and when it wan nil
over eiy few of the crowd could tell
exactly hou It nil hapyened In fact,
the deluded seoie Indicates nothing,
for while Uuffalo won by n single itin,
the particulars of the tnlly Indicates
that the Mineis rhould hae cantuied
the name In a canter.
Thp general cause of the result was
a trinity, three things- Harper's loss
of nerve In the first and ninth Innings,
which cost six inns; Magulte's s.tigp
fright nnd strlke-outs with two on
bases In the second, nnd three on
bates In the thlid. and last, but .i"t
least, n pole lying at the bottom of the
fence, which was so good a trnp for the
ball that the elongated Jim Fields got
a home lun. The latter clicumtance
ought to be charged against the avfco
elatlpn and not to the ctedlt of the
BlFons, to whom an undeserved foin
base hit was given.
With four UiifTaln 111ns on velvet In
the first Inning, Scrnnton began unt
tlng out an uphill game, and In the
seventh Inning had thiee runs to the
good. Huffalo fallPd to score from the
third to the ninth, dining which time
Harper was pitching In good form.
In the ninth Catcher Urquhart was
put In to lead off and 'bat In place of
Gregory, and he proved himself, equal
to the occasion by smashing out a
ilean hit. That was the straw that
broke Harper's back, and he ptoceed
ed to give two walks to Hist and 1111
the bases. The two singles and a two
b.iggcr that followed bi ought In the
four runs that won the came.
MASSEY INJURED.
Massey was hint In the fourth inn
ing and had to tetlre after the fifth,
O'Hricn coming n from centei to n!av
first and Meaney replacing O'Brien.
Massey had been forced to Scan out
over tho base line to catch a ball
thrown wide by Maguire on a desuer
ate chance on Clyiner's grounder. Cly
mer collided w 1th the big first bar
man's left shoulder with such forc
that he was carried over Massey's
back without touching the bise. It
was an out, but both playeis were In
jured, Massey so badly that he retired
after a weak attempt to bat and one
lnnlns In the field.
riltST INNINCJ-ThliiKS looked to be
coming Scrantor. s way when Cij mer, for
lluflalo, started the game with a fly to
short center. O'Hricn sot It onl.v after
11 long run and by making a toboggan out
of himself The catch was warmly ap
plauded, and with one of the enemy dW
poed of, the cranks set'Ied thimtelvei
for a home victoij, J5ut things hippened
otherwise. Gray got a walk and Clilboy
flew out to Imuran. Wise singled Uruj to
third, and on tho former's steal to second
Gray cams home, (ird making n poor
letutn of the lull. Fields wus hit by n
pitched ball. Gremmlnger singled to cen
tir. O'llrlen failed to Btop the ball and
before It.- telu-n to the plate Ciiemmlngor
and the. two ahead of him came In. hulll
van got a walk, but was thrown out at
third In an attempt to take a bae too
miny en a passed bail.
Score, 0-1.

fense by Masiiy, Ueaid scoring and Mas.

Eagnn at third. Jlagulre had a chance
to distinguish himself, but showed too
greit an anMcly to swipe at bad balls.
He sttuck out. Hod Blnifled Eugan and
Slasoey home, went to third on Harpr's
hit to right field and scored on O'llrKn's
fly To the cutlleld Harper failed in an

runs. With one out mid two on bases on

o ln?r which, raided the lime duuon the
right lino-, the- ball rolling Into foul tor
rltory. The hit seemed good for no moro
than two bases,' but the ball had rolled

Lelger will mnnace the Cortland
team. He 1b n player of many years'
experience nnd, while below the degree
of elllclency for liistern league play

Mtnney's nppearance In the game was

The Bisons ought to be "hot stun." Two
of their outfielders have red hair.
Gray and Urquhart will be the Buffalo

Yesterday's game wns attended by tho

Scranton a run yesterday.
It Is not at all certain that Massey will
be nblo to play this afternoon, in which
ovent the batting order will be the samo
as after tho big fellow retired from tho
game jesttrday Ills left arm was badly
lamed In tho collision with Clymer.
Johnson, of tho Phillies who has made
moro of a hit as a coacher than us u play
er, gave a most realistic Imitation of a
rooUer on the third base line, but got tho
gaff good nnd hard The only thing lack
ing to make his act perfect was the tall
feathers. Boston Heiald.
Wellner will pitch this afternoon. It will
be his first game against on Eastern
League te-am. The big fellow's hand has
not fully healed from the splitting It re
cel ed nt Lancaster, but his arm Is In good
trim and he mai be nble to mix tho
Bisons Boyd will catch him.
Referring to the signing of Lurh, late of
tho Washington, by Toronto, the Syra
cuse Standard says: "Arthur Irwin, you
notice, whllo ho Is not running a Wash

of a Job." Buffalo Express. Told ou so.
Frankle Shannon makes his little error
legutarly Just tho nmi as he used to
Springfield Union His regular error w hen
plnvlng In Scanton has alwavs been moro
than balanced by his general fast, sharp
plajlng. Hughey Jennings and Smith
wero tied for fifth place in last ear's
fielding averages.

"Big Mike," whvT was the crack pitcher at
Georgetown university during the past
