TWO GAMES PLAYED.
First Was a Deserved Victory for
TorontoSecond a Tie Which We
Should Have Won.
Scranton and Toronto played two
games nt Athletic park yesterday af
ternoon, Toronto winning the first be
cause they were superior In all depart
ments of the game and the second end
ing In a tie and darkness nt the end of
the ninth Innlnir.
Fallon pitched the second game for
the Miners and they should have w'on
with hands down. There was a runner
on the bases In every inning but one,
yet the hit necessary to win was al
ways lacking. Until the seventh not
a hit was made off Fallon, but In that
chapter the Canucks made two singles
nnd a double and scored two runs, and
mnde their only other hit In tho eighth.
That was certainly a pretty good show
ing for a youngster who was picked oft
a stump Held at Mlnookn.
It was 7 o'clock before the enter
tainment ended. The first game was
to have been started at 2.15 o'clock, but
it looked so much like rain and the
wind wns so strong that neither team
vmrready- to begin until 2.40. At that
hours several minutes were lost In se
lecting an umpire, Oaffney falling to
appear on account of nn injured nnkla
caused by a foul tip In Tuesday's game.
Larry Ketrlck was finally agreed
upon to adjudicate. His lot was not
an easy one. He wns called upon to
decide many close plays from the start
and was obliged to submit to no end of
kicking from the visitors. There was
no occasion for their questioning, pre
sumably prompted by the fear that
Scranton would be given the best of It,
as at no time was the home club ma
terially favored Considering that
Ketrlck had absolutely no authority
to Impose penalties the two games
were .played as smoothly as could
have been expected.
THE FIRST GAME.
Miners' Loose Fielding tho Chief Aid
to Toronto's Victory.
In every inning that the Cannucks
ecorcd they were favored by one or
more field or battery errors, and these
with n distribution of hits enabled the
visitors to pull out, after being tied In
tho sixth, and score five undeserved
runs, tho two In the ninth being made,
however, without the semblance of a
hit.
Wclthoff would not permit any
bunching of hits, although in all but
the fifth nnd seventh Innings the Min
ers had plenty of opportunity to bat
in the runs necessary to win. Tho
large number of infield assists by tho
Torontos shows that their fast work
cut some figure in tho game.
Boyd's throwing to bases was very
poor, as shown by the eight steals
erfiillied the Cannucks.

FALLON'S. CLEYER WORK.
The Scriinton Colt Pitcher Deserved
to Win His (J nine.
1'nlloni wns put In to pitch the first
professional game of his brief but
promising career nnd proved to be a
sensation. Ills own two wild throws
to first base In the third Inning were
all that permitted tho Canadians to get
runners on the circuit for six success
ive chapters. His wild throws were
not costly, however, as the side wns
retired without any run being scored.
Mean-whllo Scmnton was having
many a golden chance- to tally but tho
reeded hits were as elusive as the pro
verbial Miller's flea. One run was se
cured in the first nnd another In tho
second, the Canucks getting two In the
seventh nnd tleltiff the score. They
made another In the eighth and got a
lend which was tied In the Scranton
half.
In the ninth the Canucks went down
one-two-throe. Boyd, nnd Fallon were
tho first two up for Scranton nnd
were easily disposed of. O'Brien got
a wnlk but was nipped In an attempt
to steal.
It was 7 o'clock and fast growing
dark when the Inning ended nnd Um
pire Ketrlck called the name on ac
count of datkness with the tcore 3-3.

TYPHOON WINS THE DERBY.

Louisville, Ky., May 12. The twenty
third Kentucky derby has passed into
history and along with it the winter
and eprlng calculation of the tnlent.
Ornament, tho much touted son of Imp
Order, that game chestnut colt whose
two-year-old performances stamped
him. nnd rightly so, the king of tho
western turf, lowered his colors this
afternoon before- a gamer and a bet
ter animal. Without being touched
and with only a little shaking up near
the wire, Typhoon II, landed the cov
eted prize, showing the way the en
tire distance- of one mile and a quar
ter, the chestnut colt was never in
distress ut any part of the Journey.
The finish was not of the sensational
kind that stirs the spectators nnd fur
nishes sensations to those who have
wngtrs on tho outcome, for Typhoon's
victory, well and gr.mely- contended,
was won with an ease that clearly
proved his superiority over tho live
other colts contesting for the honor.
It was a good betting race but Ty
phoon though, a second choice, carried
but little of the public's money.

FOR WOMEN RIDERS
OF THE BICYCLE
Some Pertinent Facts About the Proper
Costume.
COMMON SENSE THE FIRST RULE
llloomcrs Are n I.lttlo Out of Pnvor,
Excepting When Warn llcncnth the
8kirt"Tho Most Tnntofnl Oaxb Is
Tho Most Prncticnl nnd Plain.
Hill Climbing Is Not Nccessnry
In Scrnnton.
With tho ndvent of cycling women
came nn evolution in wheeling costume
worn by men. Prior to their entering
tho field little attention to dress wns
paid by the male cyclists. With them
the most important factor was to se
cure the particular make of wheel
which they landed the most, while the
women nt once paid tho most nttentlon
to their costume. The wheelwoman is
settling for herself what she shall wear
when she goes out on her wheel.
Throughout the country the short
skirts nnd the golf stockings aro the
favorites. Bloomers tire worn under
neath. Some of tho former bloomer
fanatics, seeing that their Idea would
not lio adopted have taken another
turn. Mnny are riding the diamond
framed wheel In short skirts und wool
en tights. The divided skirt is ulao
popular, and properly mnde, it can bi
used on cither the drop or the diamond
frome. Bicycle costumes have become
a department in the wheel world. And
the credit for tho great improvement
belongs to the women. If a census of
the women riders In the United States
wcro taken, It would ptobably be found
that they are as numerous as the en
tire nrmy of cyclers live years ngo.
Then the women made up but two or
thlee per cent, of the entire bicycle
population. This year It Is likely that
they will comprise 20 or more per cent,
of the cycling population; ho that If
their number should Increase as rapid
ly in tho next four years as it has
since ISO", the beginning of the twen
tieth' century may find the femalo sec
tion of cycleuom numerically in the as
cendant. By tho adoption of an Intelligent se
ries of progressive efforts the woman
of average physical vigor can ulti
mately lit herself for a century run.
or the long tour, without making any
inordinate demands on her mupculnr
equipment. To these women, and their
number will be gieatly Increased before
a year has passed, the bloomer makes
a strong appeal. On long journeys the
practical diawbacks of the skirt nie
mnny, and the counter attractions of
the bloomer grent.
Theie Is not one woman In fifty who
will deny the superiority of the bloomer
to the frklrt. so far as comfort nnd
adaptability are concerned, when long
distance riding Is in question. We
shall have both skiits and bloomers
this year. We shall see occasional com
binations that will make our souls
weep, but the proportion of such to the
main body of bloomer exploiters will
not be greater than the proportion the
woman without taste bears to the
whole body of femininity,
Coveit cloths are plnylng a largo
part in the make-up of costumes for
lady riders, and the hlgh-laced shoe,
which fits to a nicety, Is another thing
that is "Just right."
Buttons large and small will figure
conspicuously In the finishing of the
modish cycle suits this season. Every
nngle or cuff and revere will bo made
the abiding place of one or more of
these shining articles, for they must
be either metal or pearl, the cloth but
ton being no longer used.
Many new costumes this year will lis
madci With the Eton Jacket fitting
closely to the band of the skirt, there
held In pluce by hooks, with the belt
of metal or leather expoEed only in
front.
There are but two notlceablp changes
this season one is that the costumes
nre brighter, and in many Instances
vie in loudness with those worn by the
other sex; the other Is that the lec
glned girl seems to be going. Legglns
are hot and uncomfortable, and even
the leather high-cut boots are not the
most delightful things In the world,
especially upon a hot day, so that
gradually the golf stocking and the
low-cut shoe seem to be coming Into
style. A good proportion of the fair
ki'x now think nothing of appearing
in such a costume, and why should
theyi hesitate? It Is certainly much
more adaptable, much more comfort
able, and as for appearances It is much
more modest and far less objection
able than the nverage summer resort
bathing costume.
The full-fledged cyclist will wear
regulation bicycle shoes more general
ly than ever before. This Is a pretty
severe test of her vanity, for if there
Is anything which detracts from tho
comeliness of a woman's "understand
ing," It Is this particular style of foot
apparel. Its low vamp and rounded
tip are trials which one hesitates to
adopt, while the almost flat heel is
the last straw toward breaking down
the Ideal ensemble of a graceful foot.
Many middle-aged women often re
mark that If they were only younger,
they would try to learn to ride the
bicycle. Every now and then some
one, more venturesome than her
friends, takes a few lessons, learns to
ilde, nnd Immediately does missionary
work In her circle of acquaintances.
To ride a bicycle it Is not necessary
to pick a crowdAI thoroughfare, like
Lackawanna avenue, nor to climb hills
as steep as Pine street. A great deal
of pleasure may be obtained in wheel
ing along the splendid streets and ave-

JUDQE-MURPilY MATCH.
Prcscnt Indications Aro That tho
Men Mill Nat Meet:
There has been a hitch in the pre
liminary arrangement! for n limited
round contest betw'cen James Judge,
the lightweight and Patrick Murphy,
boxing instructor of the Excelsior Ath
letic club. It is extremely doubtful If
the men will meet.
It Is possible that "Jack" Skclly, the
Brooklyn lightweight, who was behind
Judse the night ho defeated Sam Ton
kin before the Fifth Avenuo Athletic
club, will come here nnd box six ex

TIPS FOR THE UMPIRES.
President Young Hns Addressed
Tliom in Unmistakable Terms.
Washington, Mny 12. President Nkk
Young of the National league tonight
Issued the following circular:
To All League Umpires.
Don't be afraid to enforce the rules
stilctly. It Is your only show of going
through tho season. If you fire the Hrst
man out of the game that deserves It,
after due caution, you will have no trou
ble. You must be master of the situation
or the players will boss you n'l over tho
league. Kefp your hoad with oa, but let
tho players understand from tho word
"go" that you aro paid to umpire an I
they aro paid to play. Some of them will
run you out If they can, but if you aro
run out It will be for lark of nervo to en
force tho rules. They were made to ba
enforced, not arbitrarily, but Justly and
dimly, nnd you . mst do It or necessarily
give way to some one who will.
Additional Sporting News will ho
