The Toronto hoodoo remains undis
covered. The Canadians yesterday lost
to Scranton their ninth game out of
ten played, but the hoodoo had nothing
to do with It. It was a pitchers' argu
ment and n game of errors In which
the two clubs split on even terms as
far as the pitching was concerned,
Scranton getting a shade the better of
the field work and so winning by the
score of 6 to 4.
Tommy" Olllon was on the rubber
for the Miners nnd Williams pitched
for the Canucks. Glllon was getting
far and away the best of the pitching
up to the eighth Inning. Up to then
only two hits had been made off him
and the home team felt safe with tho
score 5 to 1. But In the Eighth with
one out nnd a runner on first by a hit,
a single was scratched through an
ion's Interference with the ball and he
permitted the bases to fill by a mis
play which cost three runs. The bases
were full again before the Canucks
wdre retired with the score only 5-4
against them. In only that Inning was
there any cause for criticising the
Miners' playing.
SOME GOOD PLAYS.
About a thousand spectators were on
the ground&They had little or no cause
to get nervous after the second and up
to the eighth when the visitors missed
their chance to win out nnd Massey
closed that inning with a hair-raising
catch of a high foul near the bleacher
fence. A running catch each by Eagan
and O'Brien and a fast one-hand pick
up and assist by Magulre were among
the star Individual plays. Bonner and
Beard had fourteen chances between
them with only one error by Bonner
and which did not prove costly.
Manager Griffin for the second time
this season .sent his men first Into the
field. For two Innings only one player
on each side reached first, Lush on n
base on balls and Massey on Wagner's
bad throw to first.
In the third Inning with Boyd out
Glllon made the first hit of the game
and went to third on McIIale's fumble
in center of O'Brien's hard drive, the
latter reaching second. A passed ball
scored Glllon and advanced O'Brien to
third. Bonner got a walk and stole
second and on the throw to catch him,
O'Brien slid home. Daly grounded out
to first and Beard Hew out. In the To
ronto half Taylor was hit by a pitched
ball, but was forced by Williams who
stole second, iBonner missing Boyd's
good throw. Williams advanced to
thira-6n an outfield fly. White was hit
by u. pitched ball and stole second.
With tv on-bases McOann, one of the
two best batters on the team, hit a
uouncer to union ana was retired at
first.
MINERS GET TWO MORE.
Infield assists prevented a Canadian
reaching first In the fourth, but Scran
ton "was more fortunate.Eagan hit to
left center for two bases and came
home on Taylor's miss of Mnssey's
grounder, the latter going to second
on the play to catch Peter at the plate
and to. third on Casey's wild return of
the hall to second. Magulre was nipped
at flrct. Massey scored on Boyd's life
and Glllon fouled out. Score, 4-0.
The Qannucks fell down In the fifth
tm a liner to Beard and two infield as
sists, one of which was Magulre's
lightning pick-up nnd throw which
nipped thp runner with only an Inch
to spare In tho Scranton half and
with, two out,, Daly singled but Beard's
. fly retired tho side.
The first Toronto run, was made in
th,e njxth. With one out White singled
and ..wont, to third on McGann's two

fourth bad ball Boyd snapped the ball
,Jfll)firil at second, whero McOann

San Francisco, May 11. Information
has reached here which' points to the
probability of a match between Cor
bett nnd Choynskl. Tho reason for
"Parson" Davles' mysterious visit to
the East is thUB made apparent. Ho
went to nrrange a match between Cor
bctt and Choynskl, to be fought In this
city la the fall. The "Parson" took
the trip In the interest of the National
Sporting club, nnd the officers of that
organization have received Information
that leads them toy confidently predict
that the match will be made.
Davles has urged FltzBlminons to
bring about this result, knowing that
It Fltzslmmons announced to Corbett
thnt he would fight him after the ex
chnmplon had beaten Choynskl, Jim
probably would go In for tho battle.
Fltzslmmons, It Is believed, is lending
hlmnclf to tho project. Choynskl In
perfectly willing to flgh't Corbett for
any amount. Tho only trouble In
bringing about the match has been
with the latter. If tho bout comes off
It will be a twenty-round go for a
iiu'rse of $10,000. All the National peo
ple are jubilant over tho outlook.
Tho California, Athletic club an
nounces a programme for the 31st Inst,
at Woodward's pavilion, tho principal
attraction being a fifteen-round go be
tween Slavin and Joe Butler, of Phila
delphia. It was at first Intended to
put Slavin up ngalr.st "Thunderbolt"
Smith, but Smith did not seem anxious
for the match.

The champion Orioles continued yes
terday their runaway lead and unless

at Louisville and St. Louis, but there
were two shut-outs In the four games
played. Four of the second division

THAT ALLEGED FOUL.
While chatting with a party of
friends the other evening at the Tre
mont In Chicago Parron Davles excited
their Interest by the sensational state
ment: "Corbett was knocked out by a foul,
although I do not think the blow was
Intentional. FItz hit him a terrible
blow In the fnoe while Corbett was up
on ono knee."
In further explanation, Mr. Davles
said that he was in a good position to
see the finish of the fight, and that fol
lowing the heart blow, and as Corbett
sank to the lloor, Fltz landed his right
in a swing on the side of the Jaw.
This statement by the Parson ex
plains tho recent assertions of Manager
Brady to the effect that a foul was
committed, and that the klnetoscope
pictures would fully show It. Mr.
D ivies has no doubt that th'e blow as
sisted In Corbett's defeat.
"One thing that surprised mo while
In 'Frisco," continued Mr. Davles,
"was the manner In which Tommy
Ryan responded to the efforts of the
Olympic club to get on a. fight be
tween him and Young Corbett. I
think Ryan would make a good fight
against Green and was therefore anx
ious to make the match.
"The club offered n, purse of $5,000
for a twenty-round contest at 145
pounds, and Ryan has the privilege of
cutting the puree to suit himself, be
sides the offer of making- the decision
a draw If both men were on their feet
at the end of twenty rounds. And
what do you think Ryan replied? Why,
he wanted $500 additional In expense
money and $1,000 and expenses for
George Slier as referee.
"Was It any wonder that the Olym
pic fellows replied: 'You havo cold
feet?' "
BOXING FOR CHARITY.
While In 'Frisco the Parson was of
fered the management of two clubs,
but he declined to accept, for, while
the prospects of a continuation of the
boxing game Is good, there are so
many clubs and contests scheduled
that the management con only make
small money. To secure tho permits
nn arrangement was made to give 5
per cent, of the receipts to the unem
ployed. The money derived from box
ing exhibitions and other sources has
amounted to $40,000, and this is being
expended on the Balboa boulevard and
speedway.
"Among the contests arranged In
San Francisco," said Mr, Davles, "are
those between Joe Gans and Mike
Leonard, and J. J. Jeffries and Henry
Baker, both before tho Olympic club.
Baker will defeat Jeffries, who has
adopted the Corbett style of boxing,
which fits him as the movements of
tho leopard would suit the elephant."
Two games this afternoon.
The lifo of the black rabbit Is safe.
Tho first game will bo called at
o'clock.
Wcllner will pitch tho opening gamo and
Glllon tho second at Providence.
Charlie Rellly 1b said to bo playing the
gamo of his life for Washington this sea
son. Pitcher Stlmmell, released by Scranton
last year, held Newark down to five hits
yesterday.
"Old Gentleman" Jennings, Hughey's
father, waj Mannger Griffin's guest on the
players' bench yesterday.
Catcher O'Neill's absenco from tho last
tnvo games played by Rochester Is prob
ably due to tho Injury his hand received
on Saturday.
Tom Lovett, with Scranton last year, Is
practicing every day at Providence. He
expects to sign with some Western team.
The Buffalos havo knocked sky-high
that streak of luck tho Scrantons pos
sessed. Syracuse News. Yes, they won
two out of three pomes,
That was a neat trick worked by Boyd
in tho sixth when with three balls on Mc
llale, one out and a runner on second and
third ho signaled for a fourth wldo ball
and for Beard to cover second. 'The ball
wtfs no sooner delivered than Boyd shot
It across to second where Beard had Mc
Gann out by six feet.
Scranton has played In great luck so
far and It Is to bo hoped It continues.
Tho cranks hero are eagerly waiting
for tho first gamo between tho Slocum
HoHowltes and tho Barons, It will take
placo May 27 at Scranton. Bets aro be
ing mado that the Barons win the se
ries. Wllkes-Barro Times. How sad.
It has been qulto freely remarked, nnd
with a tlngo of disappointment, thnt the
Miners are not hitting well. They are not,
that's true, but It Is all the more to their
credit that without any remarkable hit
ting they havo won six out of nlno games
played. What will they do when they get
their optics In good working order? Based
upon last year's percentages, tho hitting
strength of tho team Is higher than any
team in the lcaguo with but one excep
tion. When Walters gets back In tho
game and Daly, Beard, Eagan, Masaty
and iMagulro begin to slug. It will bo fear
ful to contemplate what wilt happen to op
posing pitchers.
