A base on balls, a wild pitch, and a
single was what gave Wllkes-Barre Its
only run In tho morning game. Four
singles and a three-baser was all that
fell to the portion of the Barons off
Harper's pitching and that very large
ly explains why they were Bhut out In
nil but one inning. While Sheeh'an was
hit for eleven singles he kept them dis
tributed so that when the contest end
"pd, the Miners had won by only the
close margin of 3 to 1.
It was circus day in Wllkes-Barre
and that attraction together with Its
atrei't parade thronged tho Alligator
city streets In the morning but there
were only 1,594 paid admissions at the
game. Of these, possibly two hundred
cast their sympathies with the Miner
team, et least tliat appeared to be
the right figure Judging from the vol
ume of their rooting.
HITS WERK SCATTERED.
At no time before the game ended did
the Miners have It safe, for SheeWan
was stingy in parceling out his hits,
with or without men on bases. Wllkes
Barre was llrst at bat. It was the
third Innlnir when the Miners made
their first two runs on Gunson's single,
Harper's life, Meaney's single, wh'lch
scored Gunson, Meaney's steal, O'Bri
en's life and Beard's single.
In the fourth the Barons tallied their
only run on a walk to Goeckel, a wild
pitch and Odwell's single.
The Miners sot their final run In
the sixth. Massey singled and' went to
second on a similar offense by Bonner,
though the latter's hit was stopped by
Smith. Maguire sacrificed and the two
runners got ach a base. Massey came
in on Gunson's slow grounder to Od
well which retired Gunson at first.
Harper fouled out to Digging.
The Barons made close attempts to
win out in the eighth and ninth. With
two out in the eighth Goeokel hit to
center for a base and O'Brien muffed
Botts' ily after a long run back of sec
ond. Goeckel went to third on the er
lor but Betts was forced by Odwell.
In tho ninth Mills got a walk and reach
ed second on Dlgglns' out from Gunson
to Massey on a dropped third strike.
Smith (lew out to O'Brien. Gondlng
was sent to bat in plaoe of Powell and
drew four balls which put two run
ners on the circuit. L. Smith was bat
ted in place of SUeehan but the best
he could do was to drive a grounder
at Harper which the latter liandled
successfully and fielded tho runner out
at first.
Y , 'MINERS' FIELDING.
." 'ji V9 Gupsoxi's fjrst same for over
-thrrc weeks, since his thumb wan
sprained by a foul tip In one of the
.names, with Providence. He backed
;?T.H,fQt Harper a.ntf (lagged Odwell, tho
flrat runner who tried to purloin sec
opd, sq neatly in tho second Inning that
W JKF,n.er attempts vyeiv made in that,
..olieetlon. The Miners' three errors coBt
nothing. Beard's was on u muffed tty
tn ajhwt left-center. Massey fumbled a
y.'SlPiY srounder and O'Brien muffed a
'-' after he had made u hard run for it
toward becond. Nearly all the infield
'vorlr fell on Beard who accepted nine
jp-ljjs ,ten chances.
. OdyMl and Mills were kept busy in
tho Baron Infield. They accepted 17
.chanccB between them. The former's
J'JayJng was particularly good. Neither
team had much opportunity tor star
riijdlvldiia plays.

(Jrcnt Is "Pop" Morse.
"Come, boys; hero we go Into sec
ond place," said Manager Sandy.
The "boys" came, nnd Into second
place they went. It was Just as the
second game opened and 1,059 pairs of
eyes were watching to see what would
happen. They saw fifteen hits made
ofi Coakley In one hour and forty min
utes and saw "Pop" Morse hold the
Barons down while his conferes did
the business.
For seven Innings only two hits were
made oft Morse, and then Umpire
Keefe went lame and rendered a bad
decision nt second, which gave the
Barons their only two runs, and pre
vented their being shut out, put an
error on Bonner In the midst of his
phenomenal fielding, and kept the Min
ers from having a clean error column.
It was not n holiday crow'd, for Scran
ton had its Decoration and circus fling
on Saturday, but the fans couldn't lot
pass unnoticed the Miners' three wins
from Wllkes-Barre out of four games
played, and they came out in goodly
numbers for a wash day. Two hundred
of the unterrlfled came up from Wllkes
Barre, a flattering testimonial to their
base ball representatives who are
hopelessly in the seven-hole.
It was a halt patchwork team who
wore 'Scranton uniforms. Massey had
received a Jostle at the plate In the
morning game, which so shook his big
frame that Boyd was assigned the in
itial bag. He covered It like a veteran.
Eagan's shoulder had not sufficiently
lecovered from the Injury of Satur
day and his bailiwick was looked after
by Meaney. The new combination
worked well, however.
AND BONNER, TOO.
Bonner was as fleet and snappy In
his field work as a. National star, and
accepted 13 out of 14 chances. His
record would have been clean but for
Keefe's decision that Coakley was safe
at second on n force hit. Bonner had
dropped the ball on Morse's assist, but
scrambled for It and lay on his stomach
with one hand on the sack, and the
other on the ball when Coakley reached
the base. Keefe couldn't see it that
way nnd so Bonner's performance was
spoiled, but through no fault of his
own. He hit at a .600 gait.
On Gunson, Beard and Bonner rest
ed Morse's chief support, and they did
their work well. A catch and a stop
by Powell and Mills second base play-
I Inc. wavA te fantilraa rt WMLao.
Barre's fielding.
The Miners made two hits In the
first inning and one in the second,
but In each case after two were out,
and they did not develope nny runs.
Four runs were made In ithe fourth on
Goeckel's muff of a thrown ball, Boyd's
single, Bonner's bunt, Magulre's force
hit, Smith's error and d single by
Morse. Meaney wound up with a single
but It only sent Morse to second and
the next two up were retired at first.
A single by Morse with two out wai
the nearest approach to scoring in the
fifth and sixth.
O'Brien's fast -base running made a
run possible in the seventh. He hit a
fungo over short that seemed good for
not more than a base, but he made
second on the hit, went to third on
Beard's life and scored on Daly's fly
to Betts.

FOUR SCRANTON SINGLES.
Bonner's single, DIggln's bad throw
to catch him off first, Magulre's out
field fly and singles by Gunson, Meaney
and O'Brien earned two in the eighth.
Two more were manufactured In the
ninth on Boyd's walk, Bonner's single,
Magulre's outfield Jly and Gunson's
slnglp.
Wilkes-Barre's modest portion up to
the eighth had been only two hits, and
three bases on balls. The nearest they
came to tallying up to that time was
following Sharrott's three-baser with
one out In the third, when he was
forced at the plate.
In the eighth, with one out, Coakley
hit one which struck Morse's tip
stretched glove and shot high in the
air above his head. Morse couldn't lo
cate the ball until Coakley was safe
and had made an undeserved hit. He
teached second on Bonner's unde
served error In handling Morse's as
sist of what should havo been a force
hit by Sharrot. Goeckel's single scored
Coakley and sent Sharrott to second,
from where he scored on a single by
Betts. Odwell's force hit and Mills'
fly to Boyd ended the Inning.
Powell's single In the ninth was fol
lowed by a double play on him and
Smith by Beard, Bonner and Boyd.
Dlgglns' hit to left-center for two bases
was unavailing for Coakley was an
easy strike-out.

Tim Keefe h done well, remarkably
well, In hlo umpiring the present series.
He ban not always been correct, but that
t nothing to hla discredit, for the umpire
who la faultless is yet to be discovered.
Hla work docs not ahlno os does Gaffney's
but beneath the surfaco it has been every
whtt as gorl a would have been that of
tho "king" If he had been selected to do
tho adjudicating It Is a remarkable fact
that not'onco during the five games has
there been a moment's delay over one of
Keefo'u decisions. In Wllkes-Barre yes
terday morning he recalled Sharrott, who
was purposely hit by a pitched ball, and
In the afternoon he erred in calling Coak
ley ,af at socond. Theso two cases were
the only onen'whloh cauned the sem
blance of- a kick and neither one lasted
very long. There are many wprso and
fow more competent than this some Tim
othy Keefe,
Tomorrow tho Miners go to Buffalo,
Toronto, Rochester and Syracuse in tho
order named1 for three games each, ro
tuning homo for games with Springfield
and Providence from Juno 17 to June 23
Inclusive. Win or lose today, Griffin's

the enemy with a well cttabtlehed place

Harper is himself again.
Four out of five with Wllkes-Barre.
Bonner had two chances and three hits
In the morning nnd fourteen chances and
three hits in the afternoon. His batting
average for tho day was .667 por cent.
In tho attention thero wero no passed
balls, wild pitches, stolen bases br hit by
pitchers.
Keefe goes to Syracuse after today's
game.
Gunson begins well,
Qlllon pitches tomorrow at Buffalo.
Tho Wllkes-Barro outllelders havo
something to learn absut how not to
waste their throws with men on' bases.
Manager Powell did not sign to play.
His contract Is for managing only.
Massey Is not badly damaged and will
likely be In this afternoon's game. ,
Keefo thinks well of Wellner.
Wo're a'comtng, Buffalo. And we can't
bo kept back. Springfield News. Can't
you?
Howard Earl, last year's Wllkes-Barre
first baseman, and who has been umpiring
in the Atlantic league, has eignod with
Syracuso and played his first game yesterday.
DIAMOND DUST.
This afternoon In Wllkes-Barre will be
played the last of the present series, of
which tho Miners have won four and
Wllkes-Barro one. We will have to bag
today's game 'In order to hold second
place, unless Springfield and Syracuse
each lose. It Is an even chance on the
result ot all three games.
Wellner is due to pitch today. Either
Roach, L. Smith, or Keonan will do tho
act for tho Barons, probably ono of the
two former, aa Keenan will be reserved
to pitch, tho opening gamo for his team
at Toronto.
Tho Wllkes-Barre directors raised, a
"holler" about the division ot Saturday's
and yeterday' gate receipts. They want
ed to share equally Saturday's proceeds
In this c4ty on tho ground that It was a
holiday, but during last week Managera
G rutin and Powell agreed to abide by the
schedule's indication that Monday was
the holiday and to take chances as to
which club would profit by tho arranso
ment. When this was made known to the
WJlkes-Barre directorate they admitted
they would havo to abldo by the agree
ment between the two managements. Tho
Scranton club's share of the gate receipts
of the three games was 950, and Wilkes
