SYRAOUSH AT TORONTO. SWATTING THE BALL By That Means, After Cosily Pony er rors, the Miners Won in n Solitary Inning. -i It was no particular discredit to Woods, the Pony pitcher, that the Mln eis touched him tip for fifteen hits and twenty-three basss yesterday. That he was not untouchable' was Bhown by tho five hits oft him In the first two In nings, but he had nothing to do with the six plunkers for eleven bases In the fifth when the Miners made eight runs and cinched the game. That little batting bee wasn't Woods' fault cither. It all happened through errors by Scheff-old-boy and Moore, nnd a bad case of mlsjudgment by Catcher Duncan. This Is how It happened: Mcaney got a walk and went to third on SchefHer's Inexcusable muff of O'Brien's fly. Beard was next up and fouled out to Gilbert. Then It was that the Pony battery made a bad mtscue. Catcher Duncan thought Daly tad been a little too gay with the r.tlck lately and Instructed Woods to deliver four wide balls, preferring to take a chance on Massey and assum ing that with the bases full there would be greater opportunity for retiring the side on a double play. MASSEY HIT IT HARD, Duncan lost sight of the fact that though Daly has been hitting the ball Vard for a week, Massey has been lining 'em out with surprising regu larity, and has made two or three hits to Daly's one since the season opened. The big Miner didn't do a thing but fiwat the ball to left center for two ttses, clearing the sacks. Bill was after an extra base on the hit. and would have been thrown out If Moore bad not thrown wild to Gilbert. Mas eey got to the plate with several feet to scare. It was little wonder then that Woods became nn easy prey to the next five batters. Bonner made a triple, Ma gulre and Boyd singles, Morse a triple and Meaney a single. O'Brien Hew out to Gilbert and Beard fouled out to Brouthers. When the smoke of battle rolled away the Miners had made eight runs In that Inning, and had a total of nine on velvet. Mr. New Unglander Sou'paw Morse essayed to do the twirling act for Scranton, and he did It most beauti fully. Of the seven Pony hits all were 6cattered excepting two In the fifth and two In tho eighth. Brouthers and Woods were the only pair that could find tho left-hander with any degree of certainty. Big Daniel Is the Indi vidual who made three of the four hits off Morse In the game ho pitched at Springfield. Yesterday a double and two singles weie Captain Dan's por tion. SHARP INFIELD WORK. The Miners did quite all the sharp Infield work which Is no discredit to the Pony Infield which had no opportunity to distinguish itself. In the third In ning with .Moore on third and Woods at second on MagUlre's error and Woods' two-batier and with none out, not a run was scored; Fuller was first up to bat In the' Pony pair. He was thrown out by Bcaril. Green hit the ball to Morso who snapped it down to Magulre In time J.0 make un easy out of Moora who wis caught several feet oft tho bag. Schefller was thrown out by Morse at first, Tho Miners made three double plays at critical points. Clouds that threatened rain kept tho attendance down to about 800 specta tors. After tho sixth lnnlnc It was almost too dark to play and from then to the last of the eighth there was a swish of lightning nnd a clap of thun der for nearly every player who ap proached the plate. It began to rain In tho last halt of the eighth and Um pire Kennedy called the contest off. Meaney appeared In left field In place of Eagan who was 111. Pat signalized Ills appearance In the game by cracking out two singles and two outfield files and getting one walk. He accepted very gracefully all his three fielding chances, MINER'S FIRST RUN. Mcaney slneled and O'Brien got a safe bunt in the first but Beard made a forco hit and ho and Meaney figured In the short end of a double play from Gilbert to Big Dan. The casualties of the fifth Inning, when tho Miners tallied eight, h'avo al ready been rehearsed. For seven successive Innings-Morse's rltchlns and tho sharp work and double lUorkl of plays behind him prevented tho Ponies from profiting by their-several chancer to score. In tho clRhlh, however, af ter Green had fanned, Bcliedler got a walk and two runs came In on doubles by Brouthers and Smith. Tho -Miners, ''Just for a kid" as Bon ner eald, made two utrecessary tallies In the last half of tho final chapter. Mcaney flew out to Clrecn. O'Brien was hit by a pitched ball and scored on Beard's three-baser. Daly singled Beard In. Massey fouled to Gilbert and Bonner grounded out to Brouthers. Score: SCRANTON. A.U. R. II. O. A. 13.

SOME " DONT'S" TO BB REMEMBERED They Aro from tlio Pen of V. J. Tor-mcy-A Troublesome Hnnd, nnd n Discussion of the Best Lend. Whore n Long Snltor Disapproves ofn Questionable Long Suit Load, Whist nnd Gambling. A few "Don'ts" which whist play ers should memorize: Don't hold your cards below "tho tabto. Don't over compare scores during a game. Don't let a penalty go by without ex acting It. Don't sit "on tho bias" at 0. wmst laoie, with ladles. Don't forget tho empty vessel makes tho greatest sound. Don't play a card at a whist table and snap tha corner. Don't lose your temper at tho whist ta ble; with It co tricks. Don't ever uso "private conventions'" other than speaking by the curd. Don't say tho game was won by so many "points;" It la tricks. Don't try to tell nil you know every time you sit down at a. whist table. Don't put In your oar during a whist discussion unless you aro Invited. Don't sit fidgety at a whist table; It annoys every one and spoils tho game. Don't play your cards on the table with a "bang;" It Is a breach of etiquette. Don't show any Impatlcnjo at your part ner or advorsarlea for playing slow. Don't over sit down at a whist table to attempt to play, until you know the heads. Don't pay any attention to a llro alarm during the play of a deal; keep well "in sured. Don't over deceive your partner; confi dence If once lost Is seldom If over re stored. Don't ever attempt to draw Inference from any peculiarity of action of your partner. Don't give your partner or adversaries any clew to your land by tho way you sort and hold your cards. Don't overlook any one's play at a whist table without their permission;" then, never speak. Don't discuss tho play of a deal, even In a "stago whisper" if any others aro still playing In tho room. Don't exult over victory or bo ghim over defeat; you will have to experience both as long ns you play whist. Don't blow up your partner at tho end of every deal; It won't cover your own blunders; we havo tried It. Don't touch or turn a card belonging to your adversary; If you are cntJtleM to sco It ask to havo it turned. Don't hesitate In playing at one tlmo and play quick nt another. Always play with the same cool deliberation. Don't fall In duplicate whist to announce the number of tricks you take before you touch your cards after tho play of each deal. Dort't ever play a card with a peculiar twist or snap, then look straight at your partner, as much as to say, "I am calling for trumps." From "Whist Don'ts" by P. J. Tormey. The above covers nearly all the Im portant points of whist etiquette, and should be as thoroughly understood and obeyed as other rules and laws of the game. WHAT IS THE LEAD? Diamonds A, J, 9. Hearts J, 9, 6. Clubs-7, C. 3. Spades 5, 4, 3, 2. Clubs trump. John T. Mitchell, of Chicago, eaya: "From a long suiter's standpoint there Is only one card to lead, and that Is, of course, the deuce of spades. Hav ing neither four trumps nor anything with which to capture an honor turned you cannot lead the knave of hearts, and you aro more liable to make tho two tricks In the diamond suit by waiting than by opening It. The head of the seven of trumps or the five of spades would not convey Information of any character, and are therefore untenable." The writer Is a firm believer In. the long suit game, but can not endorse the above opinion even by such good authority. With such a holding we take the position that there Is not a long suit In the hand, and the short suit must be opened, which will con vey the most Information and do the least amount of damage. In this caso thf- lead should be the knave of hearts. We believe that a suit of four cards eight high or less, should be treated ns a weak three card suit. Tho following Interesting article on "Whist and Gambling" Is clipped from the Boston Transcript: "There was a time, and that not very many years ago, when a great portion of'the American people looked with dis favor upon any game played with cards. That Is not so much the case today, so far as regards the game of whist. The change In sentiment has probably come about through recogni tion of the fact that In this country the modern game of whist Is practical ly never associated with gambling. Of all the great whist organizations In t'lls country there Is probably not one whlUi countenances gambling in any way. "Inasmuch as the public disfavor in which cards wero formerly held arose from the fact that even simple games of chance with playing cards some times led to gambling, the development of the purely amateur element In whist helped to gain for that game public favor. It may be tald In this crnnec tlon that games In which mental skill Is most required are not usually In favor with the gambling fraternity. Chess, for example, and whist are pre eminently games Involving mental rcwers. Roulette, faro, and rouget-et-I'olr are pre-eminently gamea of chance. Probably the fact that gam blers make their money by fleecing ignorant persons accounts for this con trast, as tho gambler's dupe wants lo plf-y In some giimo In which he can Imagine that he has an equal chance against an old and skilled gamester," J. W. Dusenbury. Now Track Record. Ralph Gregory, of tho Green Rldgo Wheelmen racing team, of this city, established a new track record at tho "Complete How to Attain It."

Scrnnton Hoy Will Try for the Tool Championship. Jerome Keogh will try against Ely for the world's championship at pool and a stake of 500. The game is to take place at Proctor's Pleasure pal ace, Fifty-eighth street, Now York, June 7, 8 nnd 9. They will play 200 balls a night. Each man puts up J1C0 and the man agement of the theater gives a $200 purse, the winner to take all. Keogh offered to make tho match for $500 a side, but he refused to put up any more than $1(0, the minimum allowed by the Brunswlck-Balke people, under whose auspices all championship games are played. Should Keogh win, nnd there Is every llkllhood that he will, Scranton will see some championship pool, ns the holder of the medal has the right to dictate the meeting place, and Keogh will, of course, name his own home when as pirants for the championship get after him.
