Special to the Scranton Tribune. Rochester, June 10. Sandy Grlftln's ex-Rochesters and those other players who compose the present excellent Scranton team were beaten at River side park this afternoon through better bunching hits in the second and fourth innings and because Rochester landed on the ball In those innings principally for two baggers, a lilt, with a homo run and a three bagger, and a few singles as the exceptions. The Scranton team was warmly wel comed here because of Its ex-Brownies who are playing as good games today evidently as they did when they rep resented the only real city in the cir cuit. Pranky Boyd behind the bat and Ollle Beard at short looked out of place In Scranton uniforms at these points, while Jack O'Brien In center field has been away long enough to look at home In the Miner's garb. Boyd caught In fine style and made It such a dangerous task to steal bases that none of tho Brownies succeeded In passing through the ordeal which Frank Shannon tried but found It so much of a task that no one else tried seriously to solve it. O'Brien purloined one on Frary, by the latter hesitating before throwing, lie made an excellent throw when he did send the ball out, but O'Brien got between the sphere and Frank Shannon. Frary was as strong as i3oyd ever was behind tho bat yesterday and was good for n, two-bagger. Frary played an exceptionally good ijamo and Is fast getting fit. MINERS' HITS SCATTERED. Ollle Beard was fast and sure at short except In a play In the sixth when he dropped a ball Bonner sent him to head off Daley. O'Brien sig nalized his first time at bat by making a two-bagger but was unable to Jlii'l McFarlan after that. The Rochester pitcher kept tho hits well spattered. Rochester did no hlttlm except In the seeond and fourth, but In thoso In nings dealt mainly in two baggers and that Is how Scranton came to be beat en. The visitors scored In the opening In ning on O'Brien's two bagger and Meaney's" single, and In the third on Wellner's single, one by Eagan, 'O'Brien's sacrifice and Beard's single. Wellner and Eagan scoring. In the fourth Bonner doubled, but would not have scored had not Dooley thrown wild to third to complete a double. In the fifth O'Brien got first, stole second, went to third on a very excus able error of Mulvey's on Beard's hit, and Meaney's single scored Jack. In the seventh Meaney singled and was followed up by one by Massey and scored on one by Magulre. The grounds were rather muddy and slow on ground balls especially, but Mulvey played a sensational third base, his stops being electrifying, and his er ror was decidedly excusable. Frankle Shannon at short was In fine fettle and the outfieldera swlfe and sure. Magulre was the weakest point of the Scranton team and tho outfield was fast. ' KeefQ's umpiring was satisfac tory. By Associated Press. Rochester, N. V., Juno 10. The homo team bunched hits In tho second and J?urth ..Innings of today's game and tho runs scored then gave them a lead which Scranton could not overcome.

Here's what the Wllkes-Barre Times says about it: "There are rumors In base ball circles hereabout. The at mosphere is thick with them. One Is specially interesting. It Is to the effect that several players have taken a dis like to the genial Billy Goeckel. No one can tell why Billy Is unpopular with the other membeis of the team, but such seems to be the fact. At least rumor says so. They're knocking him as the saying goes which Is under standable English means that they, are taking every opportunity to mrow ulna down' in the eyes of Powell and the managing directors. Some say It's be cause Billy refuses to be tough; don't like to sit In midnight pinochle games and games that are not quite so inno cent and harmless and In which the 'chips that pass In the night' cut a somewhat observable figure; and that he never irrigates to such an extent as to awake in the morning with a very nauseating dark brown taste In his mouth. In other words they are making faces at Billy because he Is playing the game for all 'there Is In It, and when his work Is done he gets Into good society and participates In pleasures that are ennobling; music and conversation and all that which elevates rather than degrades. Billy Is a college boy and can hold his own in tho best of society. He believes he can be a ball player and at the same time live as men should who desire to associate with the better classes. Others don't believe that way. This difference of opinion has caused the friction spoken of. And some one, or two, or three, maybe more, are putting Billy through a course of sprouts some would call It discipline. Will they whip him Into line? Not much! He's too level-headed, and will be In tho game and earning a good salary when those who are trying to 'knock him are walking ties and scanning the horizon for something to do. The oth ers better fall In. A paragraph is contained In the Wllkes-Barre Leader, President Bo gert's paper, which sets at rest the rumor that tho Wllkes-Barro franchlso was to be sold to Hamilton, Ont. "Tho rumor originated in the imagination of some Buffalo newspaperman," says EEnnran the Leader. 'A possible transfer of tho Wllkes-Barre team and franchlso to Hamilton. Ont., has never evon been consider by tho Wlllte-Brro. manage, ment, and la not now under considera tion. Tho only thing that could have set such a rumor afloat Is tho fact that the patronngo hero this year has been light and It has been stated that unless tho attendance Bhould improve the team might havo to bo dispensed with." Concernlns "Dick" Brown, tho ox Baltimore farmer who was for two years with Bcranton but who has been sold to Cincinnati, tho Post of that city comments on his first game as fol lows: "Dickey" Brown's debut de serves to be rated as a full-jew-but deserves to be rated as a full-Jeweled, stem-winding success, despite the fact that It was attended by tho Reds' first goose-egg rolling of the season. With anything like proper support and an even break at the Judicial end tho Phillies would nlsohnvo all been pranc ing around with Red-trimmed horso collars on when the gamo ended, in stead of gloating over the possession of four runs." BASK HITS. Meaney and "Wellner made about half of the Scranton hits. Morse will pitch today. If two games are played Harper will pitch the sec ond. The Wllkes-Barro shake-up didn't bear any print yesterday but it began to blossom. In two years the St. Louis Browns won four games from the Baltimore Orioles. Three- of the four victories wcio won on tho Baltimore grounds. "What college ore you from, Fish er?" asked a Minneapolis fan of the clever Columbus pitcher. "Me? I'm from the Keeley Institute," was tho reply. One victory out of six games on the trip. If the Miners should win two to day and three at Syracuse they would have a percentage of only .545 since they left home. According to Pat Tebau, the Phillies are run, or rather walked, on the oatch-as-cntch can basis, and lire ut terly bereft of consistent team work. In this regard Pat's contemporary, Hanlon, Is of tho same mind. Wellner has pitched two winning games out of five played. Morse leads with seven out of ten. Glllon has won four and lost three, and Harper h'as won but three out of nine. Keep your eye on the latter just the same. George Smith, of Brooklyn, who laid off last week on account of a pain In his back, was not aware that one of his ribs was broken until a doctor exam ined him on Sunday. He will not be able to play for ten days. Moss, who was so weak a hitter with Scranton and Syracuse In the Eastern League that his place In the batting order was at the foot, below even the pitchers, has a showing on paper of a batting average of .370 with the Paw tucket club. Jim Fields Is discouraged with Ills lot In Buffalo over the way the boys roast the home team and particularly himself at times. It Is said he wants his release. That's tho usual way on a winning team. Many victories spoil the cranks who are severe on the players If they lose two games running. Clymer, the center fielder of the Buf falo team in the "Eastern league. Is tipped ns a future member of top lof tloal baseball society by Elton Cham berlain. Elt says the major League club that lands Clymer will make one of the finds for next season. Cham berlain prefers Clymer to the much touted Gray. Washington Star. CITIZENS' MATCH SHOT.

Dunn, of Boston, and Immediately started on a hunt for Champion Bob Fltzslmmons. The rival pugilists came together at the Lyceum theater. Sul livan wanted to talk fight right away, but was prevailed on to wait until the conclusion of the performance. At 11 o'clock Sullivan, Fltzslmmons, Dunn, Martin Julian and a host of local sports met at the TIfft house. Sullivan issued a formal challenge to Fltzslmmons to fight for a finish for the world's championship and a side bet of $5,000. Dunn produced $1,000 to bind the match. Fltzslmmons at first declared that he thought heTind earned a rest, and did not Intend to fight again for nt least a year, but on Sullivan urging him strongly to arrange a match the cham pion promised to take the matter Into consideration and give Sullivan a def inite answer shortly. The meeting between the two fight ers was quite friendly. NEVER TOO OLD TO RIDE. Wheeling Benefits Elderly Women ns Welt ns tho Young. Many women who have turned the corner of thirty years conclude, un thinkingly, . that they are too old to learn ito rldo a bicycle. This Idea Is without any foundation in fact, of course.
