S.wclat to tho Scranton Tribune.
Syturife, N Y, June IP. The Stnra
won out today lwcuise of bunched hits
In tho lliit tviij Inning. Alter the sec
ond only thii-i" itar.-i hit nifely. Mean
time (he Sctuutpii Miners hit hard, but
K.'ignn and l?ead did mo.t of that hit
ting and those who mm? ftr thnm
did nut help them along. The few
whom the Suirs had left on bates Jn-dlcatt-si
how luckily their hits were
placed.
The desperate effort uf the Miners to
catch up In the ninth was prevented by
the head work of Kaan nnd tha poor
base running uf O'Rilen.
In the first Inning Kngan Rot four
wide. Garry hit, and H.annon forced.
Then Smith singled In the two ahead,
but was caught trying to make fieoond,
and Lezotto's long rini'bta did not
count. In the Kecond SchfJbfk opened
with a hit. Ilyon cot hit nnd Lampe
b.if.rlflred. Then Kagan hit them both
In and Uuriy's loni; tilplo rrored
-Kagan. Garry wns run down on the
lln.- 0:1 Bannon's scratch, Hannon being
caught at second on the same play.
SOME GOOD "WORK.
After this hard hitting Wellner set
tled down to work. He allowed only
rollers to the Infield and with these the
Infield did fast work Magulre especi
ally distinguished himself. He stopped
hits nnd he picked two fouls off the'
bleachers fence
The Miners made thiee iuns in the
fourth on a hit by Heard, followed with
hits by lionner and Massey and a muff
of Boyd's pop lly by Bannon. In thesec
ond Massey's trlpl counted nothing, as
Kagnn, who had hit before, was doubl
ed by Uonnu-. Two hits weio made In
the fifth and two more in the seventh,
but they counted nothing.
The ninth gao promise of f-omethlng,
but the promise was not fulfilled.
Wellner went out, O'Brien hit safely
nnd Daly struck out. Then Beard sent
one along the (list base line for two
bases. The ball was fielded to home
and OBrleu was kept at third. Ryan
threw to Smith nnd the ball went
threw Smith. Beard made a dive for
wcond, but O'Brien did not make a
dive for home. The ball went to Eagan
10 natch Beard and when O'Brien atart
d for home this time he was allowed
10 take tho plate while Beard was run
down on the line for n third out.

FOR WOMEN RIDERS.
There Is a habit that many wheel
women have which! certainly does not
add to their grace, and is, perhaps, the
result of nervousness, and a con
sciousness of short skirts. It Is that
of seeming to arrange the skirts about
every one hundred feet. When a wo
man is on a bicycle, and her skirts
IroperIy made they will hang all right,
even though at times they may bo
lil.-.wu a little out of plumb by tho
wind. Met-t wheelwomen do this ar
ranging In an absent kind of way and
really do not help matters.
A leaning toward the short skirts'
ond golf stockings Is characteristic of
the fair riders of the bicycle this sea
son, While the bloomer costume seems
to be less in favor than In tho early
part of last year It Is still In sufficient
evidence to warrant the claim that It
Is by no means dead. The skirt, how
ever, has the doll, and no matter
whether It be long or short, full or
narrow, In company with the golf
stocklng3 It will constitute the up-to-date
and fashionable dress for lady
cyclists during the '97 season.
Ever since women took to cycling
the question of dress has beenatrouble
somo problem, and a couple of years
back most of the Journals devoted to
fashions were filled with designs of
strange and wonderful garments said
to be particularly adapted to the pur
poses of cycling. Why some of these
were never thought of It Is hard to
guess. Why some of them were worn
more than once Is a problem that can
best be explained by those who owned
them. It was also predicted that
bloomers would be universally adopted,
nnd that diamond frame wheels were
likely to become popular. But tho fair
sex soon settled the matter for them
selves. Bloomers nre stlllworn, and so
are divided skirts, and somo of the
other designs which were adopted In
the early days, but tho great majority
stick to the short skirt, which has be
come so popular aud which seems de
stined to remain. Tho Invasion of tho
territory of tho skirt by cohorts of the
bloomers was one of the features of tho
cycling record of 1S95. Tho bloomer
has come to stay, and thoso conserva
tive and sensible souls who fondly pre
dict the utter route of tho bloomers
squadrons next year are the victims
of a fatuous delusion. There Is ample
room for both sartorial devices. From a
purely aesthetic standpoint the skirt
Is beyond question preferable, and
thero is a class of wheelwomen which
has no reasonable excuso for wearing
nnythlng in the way of bifurcations.
This class Is a large one, and Includes
all of the wheelwomen whoso moderate
enthusiasm Is fully satisfied with
boulevard spins and short Jaunts, and
never prompts them to extend trip or
prolonged tour. With these fritters
within tho possibilities of cycling tho
bloomer has no lot or part. 80 far,
this class of wheelwomen Is In tho ma
jority and tho continual domlance of
the skirt Is the natural consequence.
The neatest hat worn by tho wheel
women Is a light-weight felt, of a
shude to match tho dress. Tho shapo
or tho hat Is on the sugurloaf pattern.
It la natty and dressy, and It 1b not
disturbed by a Btrong wind as eoine
hats and caps are.
Tho girl who would look neat on her
bicycle had better purchaso what la
called face cloth for her suit. It Is a
little more expensive than serge and
flannels, but It Is positively dustproof.
Somo of the material looks ntmost like
satin, nnd Is very effective In plaids.
Brown, with a touch of yellow, nnd red
makes nn exceedingly stylish blcyclo
dress.
There aro women who rldo whlto bi
cycles though the streets are muddy.
They do so on the samo prlnclplo that
they wear white skirts though tho
walks bo dusty. They do so becauso
they like white. Let thoso who feel
thus take heart of grace, for there Is a
cycling material that withstands dust,
though It Is white. This Is serge. Not
the coarse, rough variety, but tho
Bmooth, thin sorgo. It Is said to wash
well, too, In tho hands of a skillful
laundress. Tho plainer tho dress Is
made tho better. Threo bands of braid
around tho skirt and bodice makes a
pretty trimming, and for tho lnpels
thero can bo stiffening In nny desired
color. A whlto straw sailor, bound
with braid to match the dress, makes
a cool, pretty hat.
SHARKEY AFTER IIAIIER.
Posts 92,500 for a meeting to Tnko
l'lnco Within 81x Months.
New York, June IE. Tom Sharkey,
of San Francisco, hnB challenged Peter
Maher to a boxing match of an unlim
ited number of rounds for $5,000 or $10,
000 a side, as Maher may prefer. Dan
Lynch, Sharkey's manager, has put up
$2,500 with Al. Smith ns a forfeit.
The challenge stipulates that the
match Bhall take place within six
months before the club offering the
largest purse. Sharkey Balls for Ire
land tomorrow to visit his parents, and
will be absent five or six weeks.
PALACE A. C. BOUTS.
There will bo a mix up of Africans
at Manager Brady's Palace Athletic
club Friday night, which will be great
sport for the followers of the fistic
game. C. C. Smith, "Muldoon's Thun
der Bolt," and Charley Strong, will be
the cbony-hued. stars of the evening.
Smith has always been regarded as a
dangerous man, but recently jumped
Into prominence by giving Peter Maher
a hard battle for six rounds. He had
tho big Irishman on the Jump to keep
up during tho entire six rounds of the
bout. Strong Is a dangerous man In
any company. When he met big "Bob"
Armstrong, although fighting ngainst
terrible odds, he put up a desperate
battle, and came within an ace of win
ning the contest. His match with Smith
Is an even thing, and It Is a toss-up
who wins. Two ten round ptellmlnar
les have been arranged as follows.Bob
by Wilson vs. "Con" Donovan, and
Mlko Houser vs. Dan McConnell at 130
pounds.
