Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Buffalo, N. Y., June 4. Buffalo saw
the best base ball of tho season to date
this afternoon when the Buffalo and
Scranton clubs met at Olympic park.
.Two games were played and each club
won one.
Tho Bisons took the first nnd the
Scranton's the second. In the first
Souders and Wellner did the twirling
for their respective sides and there
was but little choice In their work. The
features were a home run by Clymer In
the first Inning when he put It over the
left field fence and a sensational catch
by the same player.
"Grandpa Morse was a prize-winning
conundrum In the second game and
had the Bisons' guessing up to tho
very last inning with his south-paw
curves. Up to tho eighth Inning but
two safe hits were made off his deliv
ery and these by Urquhart. Then two
safe hits were made, but both bats
. men were retired before reaching tho
home plate.
In the ninth Buffalo scored two runs.
Ollle Beard's slashing homo run
. over tho left field fence was the prize
peach of the game. 1'op Wlso undo
a great fielding record accepting six
teen ehanevs without an error.

SOME COHING BASE BALL STARS.
Hop wi IfifeMl
"Pop" Morso would pitch tho second
game, the Buffalo Express remarked:
"Grandpa Morae will do tho honors for
tho Scrantonlans. Morso belongs in
Globe-trotter Billy Earlo's class, as ho
has played In pretty nearly every league
that has been organized In this country
within tho last decade, and In nearly ev
ery club. How ho managed to keep nway
from the Eastern league bo long Is a
mystery." Borne ono has been "Jolly
ing" tho Express man. Morse Is over
soven, but has seen very little of tho
base ball world, having gained most of
his experience In tho Now England and
ono other minor league.

Philadelphia, June 4. XTmpIro McDon
ald forfeited today's gamo to tho Phillies
because, as ho s.ild, the Pittsburg men
were throwing the ball around tho Held
for tho purposo of delaying the gamo un
til a threatened rain should arrive. Tho
trouble began when Pittsburg was at the
ba't In the fourth Inning. Smith hit a
ball which McDonald called foul, but
which dovlslon was vigorously protested
by tho Pittsburg men. McDonald finally
fined Donovan and put him out of the
game, Kuhns taking his place. Davis
and Klllen wero also fined. The PIratjs
took the Held and Klllen, In warming up,
threw a ball at Davis, which went Into
the seats. Boyle, of tho Phillies, claimed
that tho Plttsburgers were delaying tho
game In the hopo of rain, nnd McDonald
thereupon gavo the gamo to Philadelphia
by the score of 9 to 0. Tho actual scoro
was I to 0 In favor of Philadelphia. Rain
fell heavily a few moments after play

Sandy will got spoiled while on tho trip
if the writers of other cities hurl bou
quets nt him as did tho scribes In Buf

Grlffln, Buffalo's old centerflelder nnd
ono of tho cleanest players that ever
walked out Into tho diamond. Is In
charge of tho Scranton cohorts this year,
Sandy has not been forgotten by tho
local fans nnd he was given tho hand
with a will when ho made his first ap
pearance yesterday. Sandy hns a likely-looking
lot of ball players with him."
m
Hero's what tho Buffalo Times said af
ter Wednesday's gamo: "Sandy Griffin
and his Miners made their first appear
ance hero this season, and they put up
an nrtlclo of ball that made tho Bisons
hustlo to win out. It was a fight from
tho sound of tho 4 o'clock gong till tho
last Miner had been declared out by

Don't think thoso Scranton fellows
don't play the game because they wero
beaten yesterday. Boyd got the
glad hand' when ho went to bat for tho

Four of tho clubs havo gone through

with much of a shifting. Rochester has
Installed Shearon In tho outlleld, and
Lynch may bo set down In favor of
somo ono else It he doesn't begin to hit.
Tho veteran Mulvey Is on tho vcrgo of a
benching and Manager Dan will have to
take an obesity cure if ho keeps In tho
game.
Wllkes-Barre has changed Its Infield by
releasing Mills, putting Odwell on sec
ond nnd signing McDade to play third
If Charley Smith doesn't liven up a bit.
Manager Powell's days aro numbered If
tho club doesn't strike a winning gait.
Tommy Bannon has put Into tho Star

possessed In abundance, while Toronto
ought to do better with Smith ot third
and Lush at second vlco Ulrlch who was
a disappointment,
"Freeze" Bogert forgets that last sea
son ho positively declined to consent to
a reversal of the order of playing the
Decoration Day games. Ho did decline
to do so and that had something to do
perhaps with playing last Saturday's and
Monday's games as scheduled. His snarl
Ings over tho matter como with poor
grace from ono who refused to give out
rain checks or to give Providence a sharo
of tho receipts after a game In Wllkes

fourth Inning,

Tim Hurst and Hughey Jennings wero
tossing such posies as "dub," "stiff" nnd
tho nameless etceteras with trimmings
in ono of tho games between tho Colts
and Orioles In Chicago on Monday. But
tho two little Pennsylvania Turks wero
as enamored of each other as a bridal
team, and on tho way from Chicago
Hughey told Tim what a lovely gamo
tho rusty-faced Tim had umpired In Chi
cago, and Tim responded with tho bou
quet that Hughey was tho only short
stop In tho Major league.
"A comedian In the grandstand at Chi
cago gavo Joo Corbett an lnshoot in that
last gamo of ours with tho Orioles," says
Undo Anson. "In tho fifth tho Colts
mingled with Joe's ourves nnd whacked
out two triples and a single. Joe's heart
began to beat as speedily as Snapper
coming Into tho stretch, and ho delib
erately quit and walked to tho bench.
As ho scuffled 'to his scat, a fog-horn
bnrltono In the rear of tho stand did tho
Georgo Slier act over Brother Joo and
counted him out. But Ed Hanlon wouldn't
havo It that way, .and he mado Brother
Joo finish tho game."
