SPRINGFIELD AT WILKES-BtRRE. . TORONTO AT ROCHESTER. BUFFALO AT SYRACUSE. HOODOO TAKES A REST. Anil the Miners Had a Batting and Took Two from the Ponies. Bee Th'o Ponies, or, rather, their pitchers, ran against It good end strong Satur day. They were hit until the Miners were tired and it was no disappoint ment to the 1,200 spectators at Ath letic park, or the players for that mat ter, that Swartwood called the second game at the end of the eighth on ac count of Impending darkness. Neither contest was remarkable for its good playing, excepting the work of the Tonles In the first ngony. In that game all hands. Gilbert and Moore in par ticular, earned their salaries by fast and almost faultless work, but it availed them nothing against the odds shown In the Scranton slugging. FIRST GAME. Harper was considered to bo about duo and was selected to do the trick in the box for the first game. For seven innings, during which the Ponies feot two undeserved runs, Harper held them down to four scattered hits for five bnFes. In the eighth and ninth he got the llutters and lost control and with tho two errors behind him tho Ponies came dangerously closo to breaking up the game, but Schefller got a little greedy on tho bases and his being out out at the pluto ended the contest with the score 0-G. McGlnnls was a very easy thing. More than nine runs would have been recorded against htm but for unwlso lmse-runnlng and an unusual number of force hits and outs by tagging on the fosne lines, which in part accounts for tho Ponies' many assibts. Tho ex Torontoian was good for a walk and four singles In the third but for only two runs. In the sixth he was found blx times for nine bases, and for six runs. In tho first inning Fuller singled, Green sacrificed and Schefller fanned. "With two out Brouthers hit a long drive to Eagan, but the latter erred. Tuller scored and the big captain reached third fiom where ho scored on a wild pitch. From the second to the fceventh' Inclusive the Ponies only got eeven men on the bases, on three sln glifi, two enors and an occasional walk, but they couldn't bat In the iuns, Tho eighth opened with the tally 9-2 in the Miners' favor. In that Inning elnglcs by Green and Brouthers and liognns, error netted a run. Stratton was sent In to bat for Mooore in tho ninth and responded with a single and steal. McGlnnls fanned. Stratton K-orrrt and tho sacks filled on errors by Bonner nnd Magulre, a walk to Green and Schemer's hit by pitcher. Brouthers' outfield fly scored one, but Gilbert's single forced Schefller at tho plate. At' nil times the Miners were f own ing rt close acquaintance with' McGln nls and bunched their hits on him to the extent of four singles In tho third and six hits for nine, bases in the sixth.

Tho Miners had meanwhile put Woods out of "thoEame. Ho was relieved by Whitehlll In tho fifth. WhltehlU gave four hits for six bases In the last four Innings. In the first inning with Fuller out Green tripled over O'Brien's head, but was forced by Sch'elller at tho plate. Two bares on balls filled the circuit nnd a run was forced In by Gilbert, who was hit by a pitched ball. Dun can flew out to O'Brien. Fuller singled In the seventh. With two out, Brouthers Fmashed a triple to right for threo bases and camo In on Bonner's wild throw to third. Smith flew out. Tho batting of Eagan and Massey was a feature. Massey singled in two runs 'In tho first, mado a homer with' two on bates In tho third and cleared two of the threo sacks by a two-baser In the fourth, making a total of seven runs batted In and not Including two of his. own three runs.

Princeton de feated Yalo yesterday afternoon at HfWtlHIimillllitllMHHI MltlttHlttlt'ttlllt HOW TO Hero aro some good pointers from a sporting exchango and might bo fol lowed with beneficial results by peoplo generally, though they aro particu larly applcable to amateur athletes: Stop smoking. Tako plenty of sleep. Stop drinking alcoholic and malt liquors. Walk with tho chest out, adbomen In, and swing the arms briskly. Takes a sponge bath and a rub down every time you finish oxcrclstng. Avoid all pastry, sweets, food with rich sauces and fresh mado bread., lard crusts and hot biscuits. . Dovoto fifteen minutes to arm exercises after rising, In order to clear out and help strengthen the lungs. The hotter the lungs tho better tho endur ance. Don't begin with n thlrty-mlle ride tho first day, if you are training for bl cyclo work, or a ten-mile walk, if you are getting into condition to run. Just a little exerclso for the first week will be enough. Alter that you can lengthen your forced nyirches, .Roast beef, plenty of soft boiled eggs, plain soups, graham bread,, fresh garden vegetables, oatmeal, fish of any kind, not fried; not too many pota toes, neither coffee, nor tea, and a glass of nlo now and then after dinner will be found beneficial. Chops In tho morning and at luncheon aro easily digested. Let veal alone. Follow these rlmple suggestions whether or not you want to train, and you will feel better for doing so. 44-M-M4-M-4 444444-44 Manhattan field In the decisive game for the college base ball championship.

DIAM0NDDUST. Itightficlder Jim Dnly Is Uolcnsed nnd Will Go to Kondlng--Two Re leases on tho Springfield Team. Jim Daley has been released. He is released to Reading, of the Atlantic league, and will Join that club on re ceipt of advance money and a railroad ticket. While Daly failed to strike his hitting gait and was on that account a big disappointment to Manager Grif fin and the fans, he was long overdue and ought to begin to stir up the At lantic pitchers os soon as he enters that league. It was with a great deal of reluctance that Manager Griffin let him go, but it was a choice between him and Meaney, and the latter was considered the more valuable on ac count of his pitching ability. There is an Important fact In con nection with Daly's release. A base ball team Is in one particular similar to other aggregations of paid employes. They all have their friends and If a question arises which means a division of good and bad fortune, between two of their number, the whole outfit is unsettled and undecisive until the thing Is at rest. For three weeks It had been known that If Walters' leg recovered, Daly or Meaney would be released, Until that point was settled the team was unconsciously divided, nnd the re sult appeared In the Indifferent team work on the trip. There was not, how ever, any outward sign of disagree ment. The players were unrestful nevertheless, and without any blame on Daly, but now that the cause has been removed, the team may be ex pected to be more of a. unit nnd tho result will be shown in better work on the field. ... , Thero were two releases on the Springfield team yesterday. Scott Stratton, outfielder, and Hanley, the Philadelphia catcher, who was tried for two innings on Saturday, are tho unfortunates. Stratton is a veteran and an ex-National league pitcher, while Hanley has hardly graduated into the professional ranks. ... Hurper's streak of bad luck is broken, Tho Miners may bo In third place beforo sunset. Providence plays hero this afternoon, to morrow and Wednesday. The Miners' hitting percentage was .3GG In the first gamo and .433 In the second. Scranton and Wllkes-Barro will play at Wllkes-Barro Thursday and Saturday and here on Friday. If the Ponies had played without an error or ml&play thoy couldn't have won against those 31 hits, aillon and Gunton will do today's bat tery work against the Grays. The champs got but six hits off GUlon in the Corbett gamo last Wedr.esday. If ht does nearly as well today and the Miners hit a bit, the champs will lose. In bdomlng tho fast fielding and hard hitting outfielders of tho league, the writers In cities other than Scranton have overlooked Jack O'Brien, who, on the bases, at bat and la the amount of terri tory covered stands about equal to any outfielder in the league. LOCAL BICYCLE GOSSIP. Local racing men have another proposition to contend with in tho 'person of Harvey Strong. Younsr Strong did his first racing nt the Green Ridge wheelmen'H meet last wesson. Ills ridjng at that time did not attract any special atten tion, but his development so far this season has been wonderful. Ho has a sprint of the cyclonic variety, which la bound to be a source of much an noyance to his competitors. Ho rides in good form and displays remark nbly good hard work for a beginner. Taking all things in consideration his future as an amateur racing man ap pears bright. This season promises to oxccll all previous ones for race meets, Never before slnco the inception of the sport has so many sanctions been npplled for and granted at this time of tho season. Tho "West End wheelmen of Wilkes Barre, are making elaborate prepara tions for their national circuit races on August 12. A national circuit meet is always an important affair in cycle circles, but tho "Wilhes-Barre event will be doubly so, In as much a3 two national, and one stato champion ship, will bo decided during the after noon. It will bo a rare occuranco and a big concession from tho racing board to secure these three big events at ono meet and which alone will bring together tho cream of both professional and amateur racing men. Tho follow ing is the list of eventB: Ono mile op en, one mile handicap, one mllo stato chcrmplonshlVy half mile national championship, two mile handicap, pro fessional; one half mile, 2:03 class; two mile national championship, one mllo open, half mile handicap. A largo crowd of wheelmen will ac company tho local racing men to Dallas on July G. Tho West End TRAIN. 4-M-Mt--t--t-4 HtlHMHH wheelmen of PIttston, under whose auspices the race meet will be held, proposes to make an all day celebra tion of the affair. The event has been well advertised throughout the surrounding farming country, special railroad rates have been secured from Wllkes-Barre and PIttston and a reg ular county fair attendance Is expect ed. The real racing will occur in the afternoon, but several minor events may be run in tho morning, together with dancing and a general good time. The affair will not only be a race meet, but a sort of a picnic for cyclists. ... Strong, "White, Keeler and Dawklns secured about all the plunder at Pitts ton Saturday afternoon. ... Many collisions and accidents, which are constantly occurlng throughout the city would bo averted If the "rule of the road" was moro strictly ob served. There seems to be a natural tendency among wheelmen and wheel women to ride on any old part of the street. Keep to the rlghtl The Elmhurst Boulevard company Is doing a good ""business with the wheelmen of this locality. Contrary to the general Impression, the average BUY THE "BARKE BICYCLE.
