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.

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

lhat thi run must not count.
The jmxzlo was propounded to Umpire

who had parsed the- Jnan at first-should

admirers of tho game will be admitted
freo to grounds and grandstand. Last

as well ns the men will bo out In force to

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

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

"Big Bill" was very nearly the whole

Brouthers' only excue for being a cap

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

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.
