PROVIDENCE at &pringfiei.o. ROCHESTER AT SYRACUSE. TORONTO AT UL'KPALO. PONIES HIT THE BALL. They Landed on It ONcncr and Harder Than the Miners, and So Won a Just Victory. Tho Ponies went back to Sprlnnfleld last nlpht with a r.rasp on second posi tion but with the Miners so close be hind that the former are not by any means on easy street. For live Innings In yesterday's gamo It was a stand-off as to which team would win but the Pony aggregation had been glvlnjj evidence of ability to strike a close acquaintance with Har per, In fact they had been using- him rather roughly at times while tho Min ers were kept very much In tho back ground by Wee Willie Mains, the Pony twlrler. In tho sixth and ninth Innings Harper was hit for four bases In each which with his pitching errors and fcome fast base running" gave tho New Knglanders three runs In each chapter and a sure-thing on tho result. The weather was not at all calculated to warm up the enthusiasm of tho cranks. It was bright and sunny but the air was suggestive of wraps and overcoats and was stirred by a not too gentle breeze from the north'. That probably accounted for as few as a thousand spectators. KNOWLIES NOT SO BAD. Umpire Knowles kept tabs on the ar gument. He Is a dead ringer for "Jack" McHale, has a physique and moustache that ought to but doesn't awe the players and possesses tho best voice In the business. He seemed much better qualified than Kennedy to draw a salary. The Springfield crowd were a little disposed to holler on Knowles' ball and strike decisions but they lost-eight of the fact that their Wee Willie, whb stands only slx-feot-two In his socks, has a very deceptive cross-fire and overhand de livery. It was certainly puzzling to the Miner crowd of hard hitters who made nary a plunker that was for more than a base. So we shall not criticise Knowles. He did well enough yester day. It wns Wellner's turn to do the rub ber net for Scranton but he was set aside for a day on account of his Bhoul-der-bound arm and Harper essayed to take the pounding. That Qeorgle was not nt Ms best was shown In the two or three balls he invariably gave to almost every batter. Early In the ar gument he kept one triple, three doubles and two singles bo well scat tered for six Innings that they devel oped but three runs, two of which were made possible by O'Brien's muff. But in the sixth and ninth Georgle was prone to wlldncsa and permitted the Puritans to bunch their sticking and thai settled It. FinST HUN-GETTING. The Pontes were first at bat. All that fell to their portion was a hit which Beard blocked with a fast one hand stop. The Miners did better. Meaney got ruwalk and O'Brien bunted cafely, Meaney going to third en Main's failure to hundlo the ball which wns being fielded on the bunt. Beard" sin gled Meaney In and Jack to second. Daly's sacrifice advanced each a sack. O'Brien was forced by Mossey at tho plate and Bonner fanned. Two runs and a lead of ono were made by the Ponies In the second with two nut when tho side would have been retired but for O'Brien's error. Smith lilt a high lly which O'Brien got be neath but his ankle turned on tno of tho hummocks that adorn the far out field and he made a muff, Smith reach ing Becond. Gilbert flew out to Massey and Duncnn got a walk. Moore fouled out to Massey and that would have ended tho, inning but for tho hummock and O'Brien's error. Mains scratched a safe ono over first and tho two runs came in. Fuller fanned. Score. 2-1. Tho Miners tied It In their half. With two out Harper walked and went to third on Mflsscy'B single to right. Mca ny started a steal and drew a throw from Duncan. Harper scoring whlto Meaney was being tagged. The latter reached second on the throw to tha plate. O'Brien wns thrown out at first.

Pittsburg, Pa., May M. Umpire Hurst was In tho hands of a mob after today's game and whb saved serious Injury by tho Pittsburg players dragging htm Into tho club house. Tho general sentiment otter yestordny's game was that Hurst's favors gave tho Orioles tho victory and a. repe tition today capped tho climax In tho minds of the crowd nnd after the game about WO persona waited around tho club houso for tho umpire. Hurst became In censed and struck ono of tho crowd and was Immediately jumped on by tho mob. Ten policemen were called to escort him to his hotel.

At Wllkes-Barre Tuesday. Thcro is many a good rent-on for tho fact that the Miners ought to win the majority of tho games, while thoro aro but twd thing to Indlcuto that tho club. may split even. However tho former rea sons aro bo much In tho majority that tho local fans ure looking forward to a kl'.lln.j bee In which the Miners won't be tho dead ones. Thclo Is tho old ffar of the hoodoo, and the Scranton pitchers are not In tho best of rondltlou, but th hoodoo Is to be drlvtn to the woods nnd the Miners nio to win, even though handicapped In tho box department.

A r.iro and peculiar Situation developed In Tuesday's game nt Easton between Lafayctto and tho University or Pennsyl vania teams and was explained td tho writer by J, W. Duscnbury, of this city. umpire ivampueu, or tno National league, had been sent by President Young to urn plro tho game. Lafayetto was at bat and had three men on bases with none out. The man on third was put out at the plate on a force hit, tho man en second going to third, the batter passing the run ner on first and reaching second. It was not noticed that the man on setend should have been on first and VIco versa, .mere wag a passed ball which allowed the run ner on third to score and advanced to thlid the man on second. Tho runner at first continued to hug the bag. A Penn sylvania substitute who was sitting on tho bench noticed that the runner on third should be following Instead of ahead of tho one at first and ran Into the dia mond, whero ho held up the game, while Umpho Campbell studied the batting or der. Cntnpbell decided that the two ruh nerB wero out, thus retiring tho side, nnd lhat thi run must not count. The jmxzlo was propounded to Umpire Oaffney In this city last night. He de cUrdd that Only the runner on third and who had parsed the- Jnan at first-should be out and that the rati sh'i'ild count. Tho best Solution of the matter was by Oltia Beard. He said, "All of them ought to have been arreitod,'1 .

Last week's Ladles' Day saw ovftr 150 of them at the game and today there wtH probably bo a larger numbsr, ns Scranton's oppo nent will bo Wllkes-Barre and tho ladles as well ns the men will bo out In force to root against the down-the-valley club. ritcher Kallon returned yesterday from Cortland, N. Y., whero he had been rarmed for a year. Ho may bo pitched In one of tho Wllkes-Barro games. Ho was In tho box for the Cortlands In their game with Canandaguo, had 12 error? made behind him and was hit freely before tho contest ended with tho runs up In tho 'teens on each Side. Manager Griffin has not changed his opinion that Fallon Is com petent and Captain Beard says ho Is bit ter than the average plti'her In Ihe league Anyhow, their faith Is so Rtrong that tho youngster will bo tried It tho club's older pitchers ure not In form. On May 12 he pitched against Toronto In tho 9-lnnlng gamo that ended In a tlo with the score 3-3. Not a hit was mado off him until the seventh, when ho gavo two singles and a double. A fourth hit was made by tho Canucks In tho eighth and that's all they got off tho colt who Isn't good enough for Cortland. a Peter Eagnn has recovered and will probably bo In the gamo today. Its a coincidence that his aliment v as the samo as Glllon'S bolls. Glllon was nble to walk last night and will be ready to pitch by Monday. "I can't quite agree with that sugges tion of Duke Farrcll's to ball player3 who lose their arms," observed Al Maul. Tarrell believes that nn Infieldor whoso arm falls him can, by praotlclng with his other arm a certain length of time, devel op the knack of throwing, nnd within a few months will havo taught his new throwing wing skill enough to play the outfield. This has been tried by players repeatedly, but they never succeeded In mastering tho knack. A player could de velop a new throwing arm If he began early enough In his life, say at the age of 16 or 17. But nfter manhood hns sot In, nnd the bones and muscles havo developed, It Is almost Impossible to cultivate throw ing with the left when tho right Is played out. When Larry CorCoran's pitching mm was falling him he began to practice left-handed pitching, and showed tho pa tience of Job while attempting to domesti cate tho left wing. Ho practiced long enough to get pretty fair command of the ball, but he couldn't pitch tho curves, and when his working arm played out entirely he gavo up pitching by tho advice of hl3 physician, who laughed at his attempts to cultivate speed and benders In his left wing." Ginger upl Lyons has made 12 hits In his last three games. Boyd, Bonner and (Xlaguiro were off In their throwing. O'Nell Is in the game every minute. Rochester Herald. Mooro and Smith made the two star catches of tho game. Billy Murray was In the game yesterday. Now watch the Grays. Umpire Gaffney will umpire tho Provi dence-Springfield games. Knowles has one thing In his favor. He trlc-s to "hurry 'em up." Thirteen Scrantohlans were left on bases That lella a good deal of the story. Manager Burns pays as hard a game from the bench as his men do on the field. Morse or Wellner are on the card to twirl today. It will probably bo the for mer. Wllkes-Barro has now a distinction that of having payed the poorest same of the season. Joo Corbett couldn't pitch good ball for Scranton, but he can for Baltimore. How about Fallon, Cortland and Scrnnton? The fHns aro glad to hear of the possibil ity of Tommy Bahnon's return. He was a favorite last season. Syracuso Courier. "Big Bill" was very nearly the whole thing. He mado outB of three very bad throw 3 and caught four difficult high files and fouls. Brouthers' only excue for being a cap tain Is to draw a salary above the limit. Isn't there another nominal "captain" on the Springfield team? Tho Providence team came hero last night from Wllkes-Barro nnd left with tho Springfield club In a special Bleeper for Now York city en route east. Heard's two errors wero mado In one Inning but wero not costly. O'Brien made two ruhs possible and may be that decided tho turn of tho tide In the PotiteB' favor. Rochester has signed an Indian catcher named Buckheart. He Is a Carlisle Iuuian and has until now been catching for the Carlisle team. Ho has played In tho Kan sas and Texas leagues. The story that Buffalo might take the Cleveland franchise is a ghost yarn. As President Franklin says, .aere Is moie money In being one-two-three In the East ern than a tallender In tho National. With one out .and with the bases occu pied by runners, ono of whom 13 on third, Captain Ollle and his lieutenants always lake chances on a doublo play and run the risk of missing It, which woUld let tho man at third score. The play has pot been a failure out of a large number of trials. It looked to the players In tho grand stand as though Magulre should have eat en nt least two that wen; by him. Any how, tlio critics of the gdmo llko to see a more gingery attempt mado for them, Tho cranks don't feel so badly If a hit Is a lilt by only a closo margin. It affects a pitcher tho same way. It was reported her last night that Manager Powell, of the Wllkes-Barro team, had been released and Goeckel ap pointed to succeed Powell. In response to The Tribune's telephone inquiry to tiro Wllkes-Barro Record It was Btated that there was no truth In tho rumor; at least the Record had no bucIi Information. Jimmy Dean, of this city, Is playing a star gamo for Hamilton, In tho Canadian league. In a recent contest between Guelph and Hamilton he made one of the four hits off the opposing pitcher. Scored a run, accepted plno chances without an error and had three stolon bases to his credit. Frank Malott and Bill lioffner are aleo putting up a nice gamo in the out field for tho Hams. riys the New York Herald: "Tiid un conditional rrlitse- of Recklsy wad L big surprise to New Yprk base ball paltons Beckley asked for his release as a favor. As a favbr it was promptly grahted, though without doubt sovcral thousands of dollars could huVo W realized by a rale of It, Jake Is not the 'caglo eye' of old, cither In fielding or In batting. Tho team wilt lose much 'ginger by his rw lease, ft quality with which It Is not overstocked." M'COY THE WINNER. Outclassed O'Brien and the Referee Stopped the Pljtht in the Tenth Round. New York, May Ifl. At Ih'o Piilnce Athletic cldb tonight, tho Welter weight boxers Kid McCoy, who recent ly returned from South Africa, nttd Dick O'Brien, of Boston, met at catch weights for twettty-rtve rounds. O'Brien had the advantage In weight. Tlio Hid was the favorite In the betting, as much as 100 to 40 being laid on him and a ton of money wan wagered 011 htm at odds of 2 and 3 to 1. McCoy was far tho belter ring gen eral. Ho simply wore down his oppo nent, whb, despite his gameness, was outclassed, nnd after they had only gone halt way through, the tenth round, Referee Charley White stopped the light and declared McCoy the win ner. O'Brien was badly beaten, and the notion of the referee was commended by all tho spectators. WANT TO MATCH JUDGE. Chnrllo Johnson ot I'lilllulclphln Is tho j1Inn--Gnrdncr-Allcn Go. George II. Kane, of the sporting de partment of tho Philadelphia Record, has written one ot the McGoVern broth ers, of this city, looking toward a match between Charlie Johnson, the Philadelphia lightweight, and James Judge. Mr. Kahe suggests $150 a Side and the proceeds, the winner to take all. Tho weight suggested Is 135 pounds, give or take three pounds. The sporting editor's letter was referred to Jack Skelly, of Brooklyn, and It Is tuilto probable that the match Will be made, though Skelly will probably In sist that tho weight shall bo 138 pounds, give or take three. Judge's hands are pretty badly used up as a result of hla fifteen-round bat tle with Jack McWllllams and he will not be able to do any bag or sparring work for two weeks. This would pre vent tho men from coming together before about July 1. The go would bo in Musto hall, this city. By tomorrow night Toby Gardner and Joe Allen will be matched to box 20 rounds at Music hall, the bout to take place about June 20. There was a great deal of feeling between tho two ban tams previous to their four-round meet ing at Music hall on the night of the Judge-McWilllams fight. Gardner was given the decision by Referee Murphy. Although the unprejudiced persons about the ringside thought the decision Just, there was a howl from Allen's handlers and friends and the rivalry between the youngsters was increased. That night they posted a forfeit bind ing them to make a match. Each agreed to a large number of rounds as then there would be no excuse for crit icizing a decision of the referee. Ar ticles were to have been signed Tues day night, but this was postponed dur ing the absence from the city of "Bobby" Allen, Joe's brother, and James Connery, who are looking after the little fellow's Interests. Tomorrow night It is expected that all arrange ments will be made for the match. ANOTHER BICYCLrJ MEET. West Pittston Wheelmen to Conduct Races at Dallas Jnly fi.
