Qruber mado his bow as an East

circumstances, but he seems to have
done himself credit. His work In the
11-lnnlng game Is a pretty sure sign
that he will do tor tho more ordinary

and that Is that ICnowlcs, tho robber,

frightful experiments In Uic Eastern.
The Tribune's early season predic
tion that Toronto was a farm for
Harle Wagner'a Washington team wm
contradicted very emphatically at tho
time. Toronto's first call on Catcher
MoAtiley, of tho Senators, gave some
evidence of correctness to the farm
statement. 1ater Toronto obtained
Ullly Lush, of tho Washlngtons, and
now it developes that Harvey Smith,
the Toronto third baseman, has only
been farmed by Washington for the

taken for granted that Toronto Is a

ashamed of tho fact. It was a contest
that reflects os much credit on the loss
as on the victory and It will bo a
while before Torontlans will witness a
similar contest.
For ten Innings neither team could
work a man across the plate, but In
the pleventh the Torontos took advan
tage of a burst of generosity on tho
part of Glllon who gave Lush and
Whtte liases on balls after one man
had been retired, and they succeeded
In working the double steal.
TORONTO'S RUNS.
The first run was sent in on Mc
Gann's slow hit to Uonner who waa
late in getting the ball to Gunson.
Then McIJale punched out another
grounder of tho same kind and "White
scored, McGann going to second. A
lilt by Casey brought him in.
The Miners made a great effort to
pull the game out In their Half. Daly
batted for Glllon and drove out a
double, and Eagan a triple after Gun
con had gone out, but neither O'Brien
nor Beard could hit safely.
GHlon pitched a great game. Three
of tho four hits mado by tho Toronto's
were very scratchy. He was liberal '
with his gratuitous walks to first,
however, and this cost the Miners the
game. Dlneen had fine control and
Matched the bases in great shape. He
nailed O'BrJen and Mossey off first
after they hod each mado clean sin
gles In the second.
MEANEY THE STAR.
Meaney signalized his return to the
Fame by making two fine catches of
difficult Mies pulling In with one Hand
a ball that looked good for tt double
and digging another out of the dirt
after a hard wprlnt. Both teams field
ed finely, and not the semblance of an
rror marked their work.
McHale deprived O'Brien of a triple
In the first Inning by pulling In a ball
with one hand from the ton of tho
fence. Qruber umpired a perfect
game. In the ten Innings Scranton
only got two men as far as second,
whilst the Toronto's succeeded In get
ting around third once.

this way to begin on the 17th games
at Wllkes-Barre and Scranton respec
tively before going home. It will be
a postponed game and tho result will
count In the league percentages as
President Powers' permission to give
the attraction has been obtained.
Corbett In '95 played first baso for
Scranton in a game won from Buffalo.
In addition to being a clever fighter he
plays a very good first base and there
Is little danger of the game being a
burlesque. There Is to bo no Increase
In the price of admission; It will be the
same as on regular days, 25 cents to
grounds nnd as much to the grand
stand. Ladies will not be admitted
free to the grounds, however. Tickets
will be on sale In advance at Florey's.
Before the game Corbett will give
ono of his Incomparable bag-punching
exhibitions. It will take placo In front
of the grand stand and where a good
view may be had from all parts of tho
grounds.
THE GAME IN-'Oo.
When Corbett and Brother Joe played
here In 1S95 a crowd of nearly 5,000 per
sons saw tho game. Billy Barnle was
then manatcer of the Scranton team.
The proceeds of the game came In very
handy just then as the old association
was pulling In mighty hard luck and
tho dollars that came from that big
crowd were very useful. Scranton won
by a score of 0 to 3.
Tim Hurst was umpire. Pat Meaney
pitched for Barnle's men and Wads
worth for Buffalo. The Bisons made
only six hits off Pat but played with
a clean error column, while Scranton
hit Wadsworth nine times for thirteen
bnses and made two errors, one by
Brother Joe, who played short and
wns at that time being tried by Ned
Hnnlon, and ono by Piggy Ward at
second. The then champion Jim struck
out the first tlir but when tho game
ended there was -corded after his
name four times at bat, no runs, two
single hits, twelve putouts, no assists
and no errors.
The present arrangement was mado
by Manager Kerr, of the Lyceum thea
ter, representing the Scranton club,
and William A. Brady, the cx-cham-plon's
manager.

Washington farm. Witness what the
Boston Herald has to say about it:
"Washington has turned over Harvey
Smith, who played third baso last'
season, to the Toronto farm. At the
first part of the season Arthur Irwin
waxed Indignant when It wns alleged
that Washington had any Interest In
his team, but It Is altogether too pal
pable when player after player is
turned out to pasture In ills club."
That Bob Fltzslmmons would "um
pire the Eastern league game in Scran
ton on June 16" Is an item that has
begun its rounds in the Eastern league
papers. The Item does not contain thf
Information that Pompadour Jamesey
would play first base for Scranton on
that date, but he will and thereby is
precluded the possibility of Lanky Bob
figuring In the gamo. It Is really
thrilling to think of how interest in
tho game would cease If Bob should
drawl "Strl-k-c-r's out," on James af
ter a third bad ball, or If James should
be declared out in a close decision
nfter filling the wnl&t of his knicker
bockers full of dirt on a five-yard steal
to second. If Corbett so for forgot
himself as to be . good player and
shook his fist under Bob's nose, the
crowd might be treated to a reversal
of the Carson City argument. Lanky
Robert's services will not be needed on
the 16th.

the points today at Rochester.
How tickled Shannon and Bucken
berger must be to think we're going
to pay each a visit.
It's all right 'to get credit for having
played good ball and ror having kept
Buffalo and Toronto In a perpetual
state of nightmare, but tho pleasure U
a little nasty without any victory for
a wash.

Miners Have Now tho Distinction of
Ilnting Played the Two Best Games
of the Season in the Ensteru-. About
Tommy Gillon.-Grubor ns nil Umpires-Shorter
Paragraphs of Baso
Bull News.
The Miners now have the honor of
what will be admitted as having played
tho two best games of ball In the East
ern league this season. Reference Is
mado to yesterday's game and the 13-
Innlng, 1-1 struggle with Provldenco at
Athletic park on May 20. Yesterday's
game must have been more brilliant
than the score and errorless columns
show. The Miners made six hits for
nine bases and accepted all of their
fifty-four chances. Thu Canucks made
four hla for five bases and accepted
forty-eight fielding chances. It must
have been a game fit for tho gods, but
like the 13-lnnlng contest with Provi
dence the best club did not win. In the
latter game the Miners made one error
and eleven hits for fourteen bases
against the Grays' errorless game and
seven hits for nine bases.
It Is a coincidence that Tommy Gll
lon pitched Jjoth theso games. Yes
terday ho gave but one hit up to the
eleventh inning. Tho undeserved de
feat makes his record four games won
out of seven played. Only five put
outs are accredited to the Miner out
field, while thirteen went to the Can
adian outgardeners and this compari
son, aside from the summary of tha
hits, shows which pitcher had the worst
of It. Only eleven putouts for McGann
and eighteen for Massey Is another

takes placo at the Palace Athletic club
tomorrow evening, Increases as tha

Immense crowd will witness the gladi

Yank Sullivan will accompany a big

and 500 enthusiasts from Boston have
engaged seats for the show.
Of the little belting that haa been
done to date, Maher Is the pronounced
favorite. Dick Ryan, a New York
sportlri: man. today hot $V0 to $?50
that the Irish champion would win.
Maker and Sharkey aro both in the
pink of physical condition, tho result
of four weeks' hard, faithful training.
Maher U so confident ot winning; that
he told Jiie friends that it would be
all ovir in ten rouid.
Maher flgurca that he is much clever
er than tho sailor pugilist, and that
he can also hit a much harder blow
than Lynch's protege. He says that
Sharkey Is a rushing, hurricane fight
er, and ho has always been able to de
feat any man who fights him, and In
proof of this statement ho points to
his fight with. Choylnskl. While the
Callfornlan had a long range, honois
between them woro about oven, but as
soon as Choylnskl rushed, Maher
quickly put him out In tho sixth
round, '
Sharkey is also very sangutno of suc
cess and saya he la sure ho will make
very short work of Maher. He figures
that the contest will be over In six
rounds and that he will be tho victor.
Sharkey saya If ho defeats Maher ho
can secure backing against ntzslm
nions for JIC.OCO, so he has everything
to gain and nothing to lost".
