James J. Corbett "Jim," Gentleman "Jim" and Scranton were unable to shake oft their hoodoo yesterday. Jnm cscy enmo all tho way from Now York city in a parlor car just to help hla friend Sandy win a game, but tho game wouldn't bo won. for Scranton. Of com Be the $400 Ruarantco had nothing to do with Corbett's presence hero or of Manager "Billy" Brady's watchful xioss at tho Rate, ns those were only the things usually Incidental to Cor liett's appearnnco for the benefit of a Raping public. Corbett played first base for Scranton and played it wcl' hut he went down with the rest of tho miners because the whole lot of them could gather only two hits off Braun In nine uneventful innings. Financially the thing was a suoues-J. A few more than 3,100 persons paid ad. mission at the gates and 1,000 of theso bought seats in the grandstand nt 23 cents per. That netted a total of $1,015, out of which there was a divvy of $400 to Corbett nnd $100 to tho Providence club. So the day was not altoge'.her bad even though tho champion Grays did bag tho victory. CROWD TO MEET HIM. Corbett reached here on the 1:42 Del nwaro, Lackawanna and Western af ternoon tialn fiom New Yotk. He waa accompanied by his manager, W. A. Brady; his sparring partner, McVey, and E. W. Roberts, a young gentlernan who earns a fair salary as valet fie chambre and rubber-down to the eist whlle champion. The depot plattoim was Jammed with people when tho train rolled In. When the Corbett par ty alighted they were surrounded by a pushing, clamorous throng and It waa only by extreme difficulty that they made their way to a cab and were driven to the St. Charles hotel. The ex-champion was dressed fash ionably, but In extreme good taato. He wore a tight fitting dark blue sergs Back suit, a straw hat with a fancy band, white linen and patent leathe.it), carried a cane and was putting a big black cigar when he arrived. After be ing shown to his room at the hotel to received a party of reporters and talked freely with them befoie dressing for the game. When Corbett entered the park he was held up by a tioop of gamins and a chorus of "Hello Jims," "You're de Ftuffs," and tho like. Ho gathered a little fellow under each arm and with the other young admirers clinging to every loose spot on his uniform trotted to the dressing room entrance to the field. Ho admitted early In the afternoon that he had practiced this season only one day and that at the polo grounds last week. A little dally exerciso with dumb bells and pully-welghts, he 3ald, bad been his only manual work since the Cat son City matinee. It was x sur prise then that he played such a good game. His peitonnanee was not on tho professional order, of course, but he covered the initial bag with as much ginger and proficiency as would a crack amateur first-baseman. SPARRED THREE ROUNDS. At 3.45 o'clock McVey and Corbett sparred three tounds of Irregular lengths nnd waits. McVey was at tired In a maroon colored suit of tights and Corbett in his base ball uniform. The spatting had evidently been planned to show Corbett instead of his partner, but it pleased the crowd and the lameness of the affair was les eened by the sight of a trickling of blood from McVey's nose, at the con clusion oj the exhibition. Corbett had ten fielding chances in the game and accepted each of them. All were putouts on infield assists and two were difficult plck-up3 of fast field ed grounders. In his three times at bat ho first went out on nn assist from Welgrand to Diauby, was fanned the second tlmo up and finally went out on a pop fly to Cooney. But tho game: Tho Miners' hit col umn shows why they didn't win. Only two hits were made off Braun and it was charitable scoring that gave Daly his two-baser. Coogan had the fly in Ills hands near tho fence nt right center, but the ground is bad at that point 'and he was on a hard run and so was exempted from an error on general principles. Besides tho lilts, nil that fell to tho Miners' portion we two bases on balls and Drauby's errc. which permitted three men to get on the circuit. Not a Scrantonlon reached third. It was the first tlmo this season that Scranton has been shut out, but with an absence of hitting it would bo hard to figure how the result could have been different, although a little sharper fielding would lmvo pi evented the Grays from getting two of their sev en runs, Glllon puzzled them more than tho result shows. Six hits for eight bases is pretty good pitching, but Glllon's bases on balls were costly 08 wcro the bunched errors of Bon jior and Maguiro in tho sixth inning. That's about all there Is to tell about the game, excepting tho work of Knight, Coogan and Cooney, whose fast playing made unexpected outs and Vossibly robbed tho Miners of chances to ta)Iy.

COLLEGE GAME. Brown Defeats Ilnrvnrd. At Providence Brown university, Harvard, 2. 13; IS BRADY BLUFFING ? Snys IIo Is After tho St. Louis I'rnn chiso for Corbett. "Billy" Brady, Corbett's manager, announced to a group of friends last night that lie had made an offer for the St. Louis National league base ball franchise and was dally expecting an answer to his proposition. Brady remarked that It was his pur pose to make Corbett the manager and first baseman of the team. It was his opinion that Corbett would not only prove a money making drawing card, but would develop into a fine first baseman. The Corbett party remained at tho St. Charles hotel last night and will leave for New York city this morning. Corbett, Brady and Manager Griffin played billiards In Backus' parlors early last evening and later at the Wide-Awake parlors on Penn avenue. Corbett is being booked for a num ber of base ball games In minor leagues. Brady tried unsuccessfully for Corbett to play in Wilkes-Barre, but the Wllkes-Barre management declined to deal. DIAM0NDDUST. Walters Will Return to Ccntorficld Toduy nnd O'Brien Will Succeed Duly in Rlght--A Littlo Lecture for tho Players Is on tho Programme. Some Figures nnd a Comment or Two on the (James Away from Homo There Is going to bo a shifting and a loctuio on the Scranton team today. Daly will be benched and succeeded by O'Brien in right Held and Walters will be Injected into tho game at center. That will bo tho shifting. Manager Sandy will have a few remarks to make to the player audience In the dressing room after practice this morning. That wll bo tho lecture. Wal ter's appcaranco In the gamo Is expected to she tho team a little moro dash and speed, something It needs badly. On the trip the club played good ball and nt Buffalo and Toronto undoubtedly lost games that should have been won, but tho "good" ball played wa not fast "good" ball, the' kind necessary to win games. Moro speed is what has been lacking. Walters twisted his leg In a slide to soc ond baso In the second Inning of tho sec ond gamo of tho season, with Syracuse at Athletlo park on April 30. He had to bo osslstod off the field. When It was plain that ho could not play for many weeks ho agreed to a proposition to ac cept half pay until ho recovered rather than bo released, Walters batted out a porcentngo of ,371 with New Bedford of the New England league Inst year, rank ing sixth; ranked fifth In fielding, and was a run-getter. Neither Daly nor Meancy has been re leased nor has that point been decided, Meaney several days ago consented to pitch and since then has been devoting all his tlmo to unpacking tho curves nnd things which havo boon stored away tor a year, but which once mixed tho best batters In the league. This fact Indicated that Manager Grlflln will hold Patilck for a reset vo pitcher and extra player. Harper and Morso aro elated to ladle nut the sheets this afternoon to tho Springfield Ponies. More has not fully recovered from his appendix trouble and It Is hardly prob&b'. that he will pitch. Harper's forearm Is not In the best of shape, nor has It been, as a result of a strain received In tho early games of tho season. If the weather Is not warm today, Harper will be sprung on tho Ponl later and Mewiejr "will do the turn In tho box. Following is & rablo showing the total runs, hits and errors mnde by the Miners and opposing clubs while on tho trip: R. H. B. Bcranton 48 or, is Opponents 63 106 23 That Is nn average of about G runs, 84 hits and 1 errors for tho Minors' per gamo, and 7 runs, 10W hits and 2 errors for their opponents. With such a record in figures, but with 9 games lost out of "0 played, tho only conclusion is that tho other clubs have played tho faster. In Buffalo and Toronto the Miners wero ex cused for not winning Instoad of ono of the flvo games played ns an clement of hard luck did. enter Into those j,imes, but on tho wholo tho club has been wrong somewhere Griffin should and probably will uso the axe without fear or favor In setting things to rights. BASE HITS. Sixth place. Ladles' day. Kill the black rabbit. Glllon has Ditched in nlno games nnd Won flvo. Bonner yesterday made his first error In ten games. The Miners have lost two of flvo games played with Providence. Swartwood will be hero to umplro tho series with Springfield nnd Providence. Bonner, Board nnd Magulre have played in all tho thlrty-Ilvo games and O'Brien in all but ono, Washington, Juno 16. The management of tho Louisville baso 'ball tenm has re leased Jimmy Rodgers, tho captain of the team, owing to certain disagreements. Knight hit a grounder so hard In tho fifth that after It had taken a bad bound nnd hit ICagan In the shin It bounded oft Into center field from whero O'Brien handled It. At a meeting of tho Wllkes-Barre stock holders Tuesday night financial plans woro made which suggests the probability that tho club will finish tho soason. The Wllkes-Borro papers say so, anyhow, Whitchlll, the Springfield pitcher, was selected to umplro becauso President Powers failed to rccclvo Manager Grif fin's telegram of Tuesday nsklng that someone bo assigned for tho game. White hill was not so bad. The wall of tho feeble-hearted crank who has a vision of last place Is abroad in the city. A month ago tho club waa the real, thing, but the long string of de feats Is more than tho weak-kneed fan can bear. Knocking Is his only rosort. A dynamite explosion could not disturb tho equanimity of tho Providence team, fo old and well-seasoned are the players. Few minor league teams can boast of such a galaxy of veterans as Drauby, Cooney, Bassett, Knight, Lyons and Murray. Buffalo Express. Tho Syracuse Standard eays of Ma gulre: "Young Hamlet Maguiro has no superior on third base In the Eastern league.

Connelly will go to New York for that purpose. Maher will go against the California for a side bet of J5.000, 110,000, or any amount above that may bo agreed upon. CORBETT SCARED HIM. Riley Edwnrds' Horso Runs Away with n Pnir of Trousers. Riley Edwards, tho Linden street livery man, had a runaway yesterday. Bauer's band and its music Is at the bottom of the whole affair. Mr. Ed wards had his horso tied to a post on Plttbton avenuo yesterday afternoon while ho was inside a house. A street car camo along in which was Bauer's band, making a go-to-see-Corbett tour of the city. The flying banners, the rumble of the car, the name of "Corbett!" and the music was tooo much for tho horso so be escaped, breaking tho strap. The animal ran down Maple street to Cedar avenue, to Lackawanna ave nue, nnd disperse. The buggy struck a telegraph pole and was demolished. The horse was cut up a bit. Mr, Edwards could stand all this, but a choice pair of trousers also dis appeared from tho buggy en route. BODKIN'S WHEEL WAS SMASHED. Wants to Recover $71,05 Dnmngcs to Make Good His. Loss. William Hodkin made another effort yesterday to obtain pay for damages dono to his bicycle last April on South Main avenue, West Side. Hodkin was riding along when ho was run down by Antonio Pasco, who was driving a stone wagon, which ran over Hodkln'a wheel, Hodkin sued Pasco for tho damago done, but Alderman Howe dismissed tho case. Now Hodkin sues Salvator Magnotta, who at that tlmo was the employer of the boy Pasco. Hodkin wanted damages in the Bum of $74.55. A great part of this was for "car fare" paid by him while his wheel was being repaired. Attorney Dawson appeared for Mag notta and Attorney Dale for Hodkin, Alderman Howo reserved Judgment, YESTERDAY'S "BIKE" ACCIDENTS. Two Prominent Citizens Injured Whllo Hiding lllcyclos.

Special to tho ecranton Tribune. BInghamton, N. Y Juno 16. The state circuit bicycle meet held forth hero today. This circuit offers races throughout tho state each day this week and Is. on account of the exceedingly short Jumps, a very desirable one. All tho cracks except Earl Klzer are fol lowing It. Bald today again defeated Cooper In the mllo open, winning out with ease. Cooper was second, with Church a closo third. Tho Scranton men were unable to land anything in the two mllo handicap and the only short mark rider able to win in this event was Louis Callahan, of Buffalo. Ho rode with the short mark men, who mado repeated efforts to closo the wide space between themselves and tho fellows away out. . Bald, Church and Stecnson followed by Cnllahan, tried tlmo and time again to catch up, but to no avail. In the first third of the second mile, however, Callahan worked up a. wonderful spurt, leaving the speedy ones and catching tho limit riders, who were up to that tlmo having things pretty much their own way, at tho tape on the beginning of the last lap, finishing second, with little Teddy Goodman first. Ray Dawson, the champion college crack and collegiate champion, won the mllo orjen for amateurs, with B. C, Haynes, of Buffalo, second; Powell, of Columbia college, third. xne amateur handicap was very much like the professional event, the short mark riders suffering at the hands of the handlcappers. On account of the extra large field of entries and tho narrow track the mile open professional was run in five heats, two qualifying In each heat. In the two thirds mile amateur four heats were run, two men qualifying In the two slower heats and two each In the faster ones. THE SUMMARIES: Two-thirds mile open, amateur First heat, I. A.
