Over four thousand spectators, or to be exact, 4,099 who paid admissions, and perhaps a hundred and fifty mow who entered the park on compliment ary tickets, saw the Miners gain a vic tory over Wllkes-B,irre at Athletic park on Saturday. Together with the large crowd there hangs a blunder, on the Kastern league schedule makers who scheduled two games for today Insteud of Saturday, when the Decor ation day holiday was rrally observed. In consequence the Wllkes-Barre own ers received only 40 per cent of Satur day's big retelpls, while the two clubs will according to tule share equally the proceeds of the games today, one at Wllkes-Barre this morning and tho other here this afternoon. Saturday's game began at 4-15 o'clock a half hour later than usual on account of tho circus. At 4 o'clock a sea of humanity occupied bleachers t and grandstand and overflowed Itself about the field. When the game began it ex tended halt way across deep left field, lined the foot of center Held fence and had spread Itself Inside the picket fences enclosing the diamond. A ground rule was made that permitted not more than two bases on a ball batted or thrown into the crowd. GONDING'S POOR PLAYING. The result was less a Scranton vic tory than a game lost for Wllkes-Barro on poor playing by Gondlng, the Wllkes-Barre catcher, who essayed to cover left field. Ho lost the game for his team tn the first inning, making a raw rrror and- permitting the Miners to taly five runs and gi't a two-bass nnd a three base hit that were not de served. Gondlng was then taken out of the game, his position being occupied by Manager Powell. Odwell, the "Wilkes-Dane pitcher, continued to play short-Mop In place of McMahon. who Is 111, and did the star work of his club's Infield, excepting a wide throw to first In the opening inning. Eagan reappeared in his old posi tion In left field, but In the fourth In ning was hit on tho shoulder by his own foul tip and was obliged to retire in favor of Meaney. EJwen with the Miner's big lead the WilRes-Barreans showed a disposition to win tho game out while Keenan was holding down' the opposing batsmen. Fast work by Bonner, Beard, Magulre and Massey, notwithstanding "Big -Bills" two and Masutro's one error, and tv'othnrd running catches by Daly H'ept, tho, ' Barons from carrying out their purpose. , ','Chuck" Gllon pitched, a remarka 'tjly strong, game, particularly so In view of the fact that he had Just re covered from a troublesome boll which kept him in bed up to Friday. Of tho seven hits off him alt wer singles and only In tho first; Inning were as many as 'two hits made off htm In 4. single chapter. NO FAULT OF KEENAN'S. ' Keenan pitched better than the score Indicates. Two of the 12 hits off him were bunts land Daly's triple and Boyd's single would not havo beeni made but for Gondlng's bull .headed fleVJIng in tho first inning. . In tho seventh Inning Keenan per formed a rather unusual feat of de livering only three balls, which were sufndi'nt to retire the side. Ragnji opened tho first Inning by reaching fiist on Oiiwfll's bad throw but wan forced by O'Brien at second. Biard singled and both runners camo ocVerthe plate on Daly's three-baser over-Qundlng's head. Daly's hit should -not hav been n dlfllclt catch. Mossey forced Daly nt the plate, ra.ched sec- .' Qnd on tho play nnd cams homo on pondlng'a muff of Bonner's ily.Ilonner adchlnjj third. Magulre Was scoied n iht on A hall batted too hard to lie, fleldfit properly by Odwell and on wHch Bonner came homi., Magulra stqted on Bod's twebaser to left cen ter, Olllon fanned and mude tho third oat For Wllkes-Barre Sharrott singled and stole second. Goeckel struck out. Four wide balls Were given to Betts, who secured the only walk during the entire game. Od'well hit a single past Glllon, Sharrott scoring and Betts reaching third, Betts tried to get In on Boyd's throw on Odwcll's steal, hut Beard got the ball back to Boyd In time to make n put-out by a close margin. Mills hit What seemed a safe fly to short right but Daly managed to bag It while on a hard run. Score, C-l, In the second Inning with Eagan dis posed of, O'Brien hit one against cen terfleld fence, but according to the spe cial ground rule could take but two bases. Ho was forced by Beard at third, Beard going to second In the play. Daly flew out to Mills. It was one-two-three with tho Miners tn the thltd and fourth inning. SMITH'S ERROR. A Scranton run was made In the fifth. With O'Brien out, Beard put one Into the crowd In left center and' had to be satisfied with two bases, paly hit a high foul which Goeckel caught af ter a long run. Beard started for third on the out and scored on Smith's fail ure to handle Ooeckel's throw. The white mate to the black rabbit had to bo chased off the diamond while Mas sey was nt bat and that may account for Bill's striking out. Score, 6-1. With Bonner out In the sixth Magulre singled, but Boyd and Glllon went out on a fair and a foul fly respectively. Keenan had to pitch but three balls to retire the side In the seventh. The eighth Inning saw the Miners fill the bases on Daly's single and safe bunts by Massey and Bonner. They failed to score, however. Magulre hit one on an easy bound to Keenan. The ball was fielded td Dlgglns and by him to Goeckel, forcing Daly at the plate and doubling Magulre. There was plenty of time to make the play. Boyd went out on Odwell's assist. The Miners' seventh run was made in tho ninth on Glllon's single, O'Brien's life with one out and a rlngle by Beard. Daly fouled out to Goeckel. After scoring a lonesome run In the first Innlns the Wllkes-Bnrreans got eight runners on the circuit up to the close to the contest, but were able to only tally one more run. Massey's excusable error In mufllng a wide throw with two out gave Dlgglns a chance In the second, but Keenan, wan an easy prey and struck out. GILLON FOOLS THEM. In the third with two out Betts sin gled, and in the fifth with two out Keenan and Goeckel got on the bases on the former's Single and Massey's muff of a thrown ball but In neither case did Glllon permit the much needed hits to develope. A single In tho sixth with one out was followed by a double play by Bonner, Beard and Massey, and In the eighth with one out Bonner blocked Goeckel's single over second base, the side going out on a force hit and Mngulre's assist to Massey. "Finally in the ninth Magulre's error gave the Barons their second and last tally. With Mills disposed of on a fly to Daly, Powell made a single, reached second on Smith's life and came home on Mngulre's failure to stop Dlgglns' grounder. Keenan was assisted out ,by Glllon.
