Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Toronto, Ont June G. The Miners'
defeat by the Canucks yesterday can
be directly traceable to Umpire
Knowles, who, after Scranton had
scored six runs In the first Inning, pro
ceeded to roast Harper on halls and
strikes nnd continued to rob the visit
ors on base decision with such flagrant
regularity that tho Canucks won the
game In the eighth by the score of 12
toll.
Knowles made .absolutely no effort to
be fair and disgusted even the home
crowd In his plain efforts to favor the
home club. Manager Qrlflln remarked
after the game that he would Insist on
two players umpiring tomorrow If
President Powers did not grant his re
quest and send another umpire hero.
HIT FROM THE START.
The Miners got after Gasten at the
start and he was taken from the box
with three runs In and one out.
Welthoff was substituted, but he, too,
was hit freely and gave way to Staley
In the sixth with the score 10-5 In tho
Miners' favor. One earned run wns
made off him In the sixth, but after
that he held the Miners down while
Umpire Knowles continued to roast
Harper on balls and strikes and gave
Torpnto everything on the bases nnd
allowed the home club to win out. The
spectators were not at all flattered over
their own club's victory.
The number of stolen bases as they
appear In tho summary had much to
do with the result. There were several
double steals, but they reflect no dis
credit unon either Harper's watchful
ness nor Boyd's throwing, as Knowles
declOed everything against them. Both
the Scranton Infield and outfield sup
ported Harper well, but their playing
availed nothing as indicated In the sec
ond Inning when Knowles sent three
men on walks and a run without a hit
was forced in by Freeman who was lilt
by a pitched ball.
A SAMPLE OF KNOWLES.
Toronto scored lis two runs In the
eighth and won the game on one little
single, which, aided by two bases on
bolls, traceable ip Knowles, -gave To
ronto the game. Score:
TORONTO.

SATURDAY'S GAMES.
Now It's Pop Morse Who Is Delight
ing the I'nns Abrond nnd rnklng
Iloquots from Snndy-Umplro
Knowles' Robbery of Saturday's
Onmc at Toronto.
It will Interest tho fann at hem a to know
what Is being written, about "Pop" Morao
on tho trip. "Pop" won everybody over
to his sldo at Buffalo, and tho writers
there forgot all about Manager Sandy
and began to spread It on "Pop" In this
wise:
In the box for Sandy Grlffln's crack
Players wbb a left mltted Individual named
fliorse, 110 sports a sweater with a. wide
collar and every time ho went to bat ho
wore his pitcher's glovo hooked to his
waist like an Indian warrior with a string
of scalps. He pitched tho finest game of
ball seen on the local grounds this year
and gave tho Bisons but two hits up to
the eighth Inning and both of these wero
secured by Chief Urquhart. Enquirer.
A tall, hujky, middle-aged man whose
name Is Morse, pitched tho second game,
and tho Bisons, famed far and ,wldo for
their hard hitting, wero unabla to make
but seven hits off his speedy delivery In
nine innings and two of tho four secured
In tho last half, when the lanky twlrler
had tired himself out shooting them over
the plate. Mr. Morso gave tho hottest
exhibition of pitching seen at Olympic
park sinco Wadsworth's nist game here
Inst season, which Is well remembered as
the nnest artlclo of twirling put up on a
Buffalo diamond for mnnv aummnr.
Morae had nathlnir hilt smpml nml ilrvoa
His straight ball, even, was too fast for
tho veteran Wise, who struck out In tho
sixth Inning. For seven Innings he held
tho Bisons down to two hits, striking out
four men. Then he let down a hit and
Rowe s men wero saved tho disgrace of
being shut out. Urquhart was the only
Bison who could rick em out. Times.
In tho second game. Southpaw Morse
was put in the box by tho visitors, nnd
his pitching was a revelation to tho
fans. Ho had speed te burn for eight
Innings and shoots and curves to throw
away. The home batters were com
pletely at sea, except Urquhart, and
fanned the air industriously whllo 'the
ball cut the plate In half, without even
a whisker being taken oft of it. It looked
decidedly llko a shut-out for Buffalo un
til tho ninth. News.
Buffalo went to its Waterloo In the sec
ond game and Grandpa Morse, tho pitcher
with a strong southpaw and a bucolic
look helped It not a little In reaching that
goal. In fact, ho was almost entirely re
sponsible for tho discomfiture of the
Blscns. Mr. Morse, as has been remarked,
is pretty nearly as much of a globe-trotter
as curly-headed Billy narle, having
played all over the country. That ho has
not done so in vain was proved by the
masterly and unctlous manner In which
he served up shoots and curves which the
Buffalo aggregations could not fathom fo
eight long innings. They were as much
of a mystery to them as are the French
a shes of the tablo d'hote to the Bowery
girl. Mr. Morso has tho ah- of a simple
rustic swain, but Is as wise as Solomon
in base ball ways and wiles, as the
Bisons discovered to their snnw in
appearance Morso forcibly reminded
many of the spectators of big Ed. Cush
man, tho left-handed twlrler who was
with Charlie iMorton's Erio pennant win
ners several years ago. Express.
Knowles has cono nnd ilmrn it. -w.-it
satisfied with umpiring poor ball, he has
" 'iui even a poor umpire doesn't do
roasts the visiting team to such an ex
tent that even tho home crowd Is ashamed
of the spectacle. So he must bo worse
than a poor umpire; he's a dishonest one.
Wherever lio has appeared he has been
severely criticized and so belabored by
tho press that President Powers can now
do nothing but dismiss him, and that
quickly. Probably the beat game he has
umpired and the only good ono was,
strangely, tho ono camo in Srmntnn.
whcn Sprlngtlejd, was here. The Ponies
won uy a score or 9 to 3 and Knnwloa
wasn't seen at his worst. After his de
liberate throwing of Saturday's game to
Toronto ho ought to be chased off tho
earth. If President Powers hasn't ano
ther experiment In stock, the players and
public would feel better satisfied If two
players umpired tho games.
Tho mere fact of the Miners' defeat en
Saturdny with Harper In the box should
not encourage a revere criticism of the
latter. Telegraph reports of the game In
dicate that the Miners would have won
but for Knowles' partiality and down
right crookedness. Harper has not pitched
good early-season ball, but from now on
he will be found to be tho peer of the be3t
In tho league. There wero many things
to handicap him at tho start, among
which was his own plgheadedness in not
reporting and thus beginning the season
In poor condition, but he is regaining the
form which made him a star In '93, and if
he doesn't win at least two out of every
three games ho pitches wo shall be disappointed.
Saturday afternoon on tho Country
club grounds. A largo crowd was
present and much enthusiasm was
shown.

COLLINS & HACKETT,
220 Lackawanna Avenue.
They nnd Tighonnd Rose Will Meet
tho Night of Juno 21.
Toby Gardner and Joe Allen, who
are easily the two cleverest of the
very few clever bantams In this city,
have been matched to box ten rounds
on the evening of June 21. Another
bout that may be witnessed that night
will be for four rounds, or more If the
referee so decides, between John Tlghe
and Christ Rose.
Between Allen and Gardner there
has for two years been considerable
dispute as to superiority and the dis
pute was not by any means settled to
the satisfaction of Allen and his friends
a month ago when the two met In a
4-round go at Music hall. The deci
sion was given to Gardner, but If he
had anything In his favor it was only
for doing the most leading and the
bout ended with each lad more confid
ent than ever In his ability to whip
the other. The present match Is the
result.
Allen Is only 18 years old and Gard
ner is but a year the other's senior,
They fight at about 108 pounds, though
they are to meet at catchwelghts on
June 21. Tho winner Is to take all
the proceeds. With the fast methods
that both these youngsters, particu
larly Gardner, usually employ there
ought not to be any question over the
refereee's decision at the end of the
tenth round.

They don't seem to llko Knowles out
In Syracuse and Bochester. We don't
blame them. Tho visiting team that runs
up against him stands a poor showing of
winning. Springfield Union.

ficiated on a ball field In the Eastern
league. Time and again his decisions on
bases were hissed by tho crowd and when
a Bochester gang sides with the visitors,
something must bo very rotten. Syracuse
