MINERS IMPROVING.
Played with a
Up, but
Lot of Dash and
the Ponies Won
Out.
Get-
tn&tend of a paltry four or flve-hun-tlred
there ought to hnve been as many
thousand of the knockers and the faith
ful at Athletic park yesterday after
noon. The Miners lost the game, but
that (snH the point. The game ended
In a driving llnlsh nnd the Miners came
out of the hielee one run shy, but while
the mix-up was on, it was a thing"
beautiful to witness.
The ninth Inning opened with the
Miners at the bnt, and the tally 5-4 in
favor of the Ponies. When the first
lialf ended Meanoy and Daly had been
injected Into the game and two runs
pulled In on an error by Gilbert, singles
by Massey nnd Daly, nnd a force hit
by Morse. That gave us a lead of one,
but the Ponies in their half, with one
out, bagged the game on a base on
balls, a passed ball, a single and steal
and another single.
Your Uncle Pop Appendicitis Morse
dished out the shoots for Grlllln's men,
and though he had speed to throw
away and good control, his curves were
just to the Ponies' liking. They land
ed on him fifteen times. Only in two
innings, however, did they get as
many as three hits, and this scat
tering, together with Morse's good sup
port nnd a new lot of ginger In the
Miners' ba.se running, forced tho Ponies
to make the most of their hitting to
win out.
FULL OF SEA-SAW.
Barring a homo defeat the game was
n thing of beauty If not quite an ever
lasting Joy. The Ponies made the first
tally In the second. It was 2-1 ngnlnst
us In tho third The Miners tied it In
the first of the sixth but In the last
half Sprlnglleld made It 3-2. In the
eighth Grlllln's men made It 4-3 In their
favor, but nfter thu Sprlnglleld half
it was C-4 against us. Tho Miners tal
lied twice In the flrst of the ninth,
making the score theirs at C to C. the
Ponies making the most of their final
chance winning out by 7 to 6. If all
that wasn't an exhlleiatlng little argu
ment, there won't be another In Scran
ton this year.
Two very erratic throws and a missed
proundor by Gilbert was all that
marred the Held work of cither team.
O'Brien had an error, but it was on
a lly muffed after making n long, hard
run Into Walters' territory. Walters
appeared In centtr and did not show,
either by his bnss runnln;? or field
play, tho effects of a. long crippled
knee. Ills throwing was a little olllsh
but that was to bo expected after his
long period of Idleness. Ills two hits
made possible thrco of Scranton's runs.
Duncan's catching and Schemer's four
lilts were the fentuies of the Ponies'
playing, though Scheff's three-baser
would have been an out if Eagan had
not misjudged it.
AT THE BEGINNING.
In the first Inning a hit for tho first
man up on each side wis all that fell
'to the portions of the two teams. Bon
jier led oft with a single in the second
Intt the most he could then do was to
make a steal while tho next three men
were going out. The Ponies went
one better and tallied on Brouthers'
single, Smlth'n force and slngle.i by
Gilbert and Duncan.
i Morse got a. walk In tho third and
with O'Brien out Waltejs singled Morse
to second. Beard forced Morse nt third
tmt Gilbert returned the bnll wild to
Hucoml, Walters getting home. Smith
fielded the ball to third but with no
one there to take It, the ball rolled to
the visltlr.T bench and Heard tried to
uoorp, but vas thrown out at tho plate
by Duncan to Mains. In tho Spring
field Jiiif Mains singled, wsnt to sec
ond on a wild pitch, advuncod a bag on
Fuljer's saeiiflco and after (ire'sn had
fouled out scored on Scheffler'a three
baser over Kagan's head. Thrco fault
less assists by Eagan, Walters and
Magulro caught Bcheff by a yard at
the vlate. Score 1-2.
It was one-two-three with both fildPO
li the fourth and the name with tho
Miners in the fifth. With one out in
tho rast lialf Mooro and Mains singled
but the latter was caught by Gunson
jinjSnlns pff llrst and Fuller flow out
ttUKiird. t
O'Brien tripled to left-ccntor In th
tlxth and was rlngled in by Walters
Mho Btole, second and died thero. Green
lilt a high fly to right-center In the lost
licit and O'Brien muffed It while on a
dead, run, Green reaching second on
tho error nnd tcorlns on Schcfllti'is
single, Sooro 3-2.
orkl of
In tho seventh not a Miner and only
one Pony reached (list.
THE FINISH.
The fun began In the eighth on
Morse's single. O'Hrlen flew out and
Walters smashed one down the left
lino for two liases, Bearing Morse.
Beard's hit should have forced Walters,
but Gilbert made a,, bad error nnd Wal
tciB got home. Eagan forced Heard
and the former failed In nn attempt to
steal. In the Tony halt Schelller open
ed with a two-baser, and advanced a
bag- on Drouther's outfield lly. Smith
got a walk. SchelTlor scoied on Gil
bert's Holder's choice nnd Smith's
came In on Duncan's single. MooroV
single availed nothing, as Mains fouled
out to Magulre. Score, 4-5.
In the ninth Ilonner rearhed first on
Gilbert's error and second on Massoy's
single. Menney was put In the bat In
place of Magulre. but failed In two at
tempts to bunt nnd fanned wldo nt
the thltd one. Dnly, who was sent up
In place of Gunson, singled Bonnerhomp,
tying tho score, and Massey to third
Morse forced Daly, but brought Mw
sey In nnd O'Brien flew out to Schelller
Score, C-B.
The Ponies did as well and won out.
With Fuller out of the way. Oreen
walked, got n base on a passed ball and
came homo on Sehefller's single. The
old boy hypothecated second nnd sctu
cd on Hrouthci'a single.

which was only prevented by the active

Umpire Weldman narrowly escaped rough
usage nt the hands of tho angry Rich

Weldman declared McDonald out nt tho

McDonald grnbblng hold of the umplro

swarmed around the umplro, and while
tho homo players camo galloping In to

to tho scene of tho threatened fracas,
some oxcltcd spectators punched Stuart
nnd Steelman who had been particularly
demonstrative against tho umplie. No
blood was spilled cr bones broken, but
thoio was lots of excitement for a while.
It was a closo decision that called him
out, and It was what caused the kick.

Two games thl. afternoon.
Pop Lyttlo has been released by Hart
ford. Tho first gamo will bo called at 2.15
o'clock.
The ghost walked in the Miner camp
last night.
Harper nnd Boyd will bo the battery In
tho llrst gamo and WoJlner or Mcaney and
Gunson In tho second.
Wllkes-Barro hasn't won n camo from
Syracuso or Buffalo and Rochester has
not won from Syracuse.
Hughoy Jennings' batting sight Is
gradually asserting Itself, nnd Hughey
will bo among tho .300 within a month.
If half the team rhowed as much speed
on tho bases as did Walters, O'Brien and
Bonner, tho Miners would now bo nearer
tho top.
It was Ned Swartwood's first gamo hero
this season. Ho mado his bow under
very trjWng circumstances, considering
tho fluctuating score, but thero was no
yellow-hued color to his work.
It was poor coaching that mado Scheft
ler try for four hnscs on a triple hit, but
it wns pretty and accurate throwing that
put him out at tho pinto on assists from
Eagan to Walters to Magulre to Gunson.
It might havo been different if Meanoy
had hit in tho ninth. His strike-out em
phasized one of the peculiarities of tho
game. Patrick Is ono of tho best emer
gency hitters In tho business, but he was
called upon to hit on one of his bad days
and fanned at tho ball like an amateur.
If tho doachera had heeded Burns"
yells from the bench Gunson would not
havo snapped Mains out at first. Tho
Pony manager caught a signal and sev
eral times yelled vigorously "Watch tho
ball," "Watch tho ball," but It wasn't
watched and Gunson got It down to
iMossey In time to put Mains out and with
several feet to spare. Burns ought to get
In uniform. Ho could do better on the
lines provided ho doesn't wear a baby
plnk sweater, a la Irwin.
"Boston will win tho pennant, because
the Benneaters as a whole are a better
team than tho Orioles," remarked Perry
Werden "Last season they would havo
given tho Orioles a tusslo for that slip
of bunting were It not for tho number of
accidents to their plnyors. Jimmy Col
lins, who Is doing wonderful work this
season, was out of the gamo threo months
last year, and Bobby Lowo was also on
tho sick list for two months. This com
bination of ncoldents crippled Selee's ln
fleld. But this year his team Is corhplete,
the Infield being In good working order,
nnd they nre playing the-game that would
havo won them tho pennant last year
and will land It this season. Their pitch
ers nro performing miracles. I can't seo
how they can lose tro flag this season."

RICH PRIZES AT DIG MEET.
L. A. W. National Itaccs Will
Ho
Vnluublo to tho Winners.
Philadelphia, Juno 18,To tho rac
ing man bo he professional or ama
teurthere is something particularly
alluring about a big, fat prize. Tho
knowledge of this fact, while not
confined exclusively to Philadelphia,
has been more often, practically demon
strated by the Quaker City's race meet
promoters than by those of any other
city in the country, Last season, at
the races promoted by the Associated
Cycling clubs of Philadelphia (which
organizations has charge ot the ap
proaching national meet, scheduled for
August 4-7), plucky little Earl KIs
er won the largest money prize hung
up during tho entlro '96 national cir
cuit. This liberality on tho part of the A.
C. C. resulted In the presence at Tioga
on, that occasion of one of the largest
and most representative fields of crack
ajacks that over faced tho starter.
The attendance of spectator wns cor
respondingly largo and representative,
nnd tho coffers of tho A. C. C. were en
riched to tho extent of nearly tlEOO
In consequence.
This costly but withal profitable
expcrlenco has naturally strengthened
tho confidence of the '97 National Meet
executive commltteu (composed of
practically the same men as managed
last year's races) in. tho wisdom of
again hanging up unusually largo
purses, and for that reason tho sum
of $2500 was last week voted to the
committee, whloh will havo charge
of the Willow Grovo races.
EARL 0ETS JUDQMENT.
Tho Present Hvrncnso First llmomnn
Wins from Wllkcs-Barre.
Howard Earl, tho Syracuse first
baseman, is taking a fall out of his old
club, Wllkes-Barre." In rriunlclpal court
yesterday morning, through hla attor
ney Frederick Kuntzsch, Earl was
granted a judgment of $79.84 which
Earl alleged wns due him in salary.
Last season Earl covered first baso
for th'e Barons. He was to get a sal
ary of $225 a month if ho captained tho
team and $175 if he Just mado himself
useful around first base. Earl got In
to a dispute with the directors of tho
club. Something was Bald about Earl's
trying to throw a game, and this the
llrst baseman resented. Later ho wns
suspended and not notified when tho
team went away from home. It sim
ply meant that Earl was left in tho
lurch. Hence the action which ter
minated so favorably for Earl yester
day. Syracuse Standard.
STALLINQS AND PHILADELPHIA.
Hill Hnllmnn Snys Harsh Things
About the Quaker Manager.
"They do such things and they say
such things In that farce comedy show
that Stalllngs is making at bluff at
stngeing over in Philadelphia," re
marked Billy Hallman. "I haven't
heard Stalllngs accused of going
against gaa with his breath, but I
wouldn't stand good for hl3 losses If
there was a shell game on the same
block with him.
"When we wero practicing down
South I was a Quaker, one of the
Stalllngs galaxy of comedians then
we had a likely youngster, a pitcher,
named Flfleld, who had won thirty
games this season, according to Stal
llngs' dope. IStalllngs used to discount
the future by figuring on the number
of games we had landed for '97. That
dope of his was about as true as some
of Jack Crooks' sure things at Chris
Von der Ahe's circus ring race track
in St. Louis. But Flfleld stood ace
high with Stalllngs. He won a few
exhibition games in the South, and
Stalllngs was working him three and
four times a week.
"The youngster filed a kick at over
work, but Stalllngs gave him a fath
erly pat on the back, and said: 'My
boy, I work you because you are a
favorite. The public like you, and I
