EIGHTEEN HITS.
Miners Pay Brnun and wild Interest for
His Performance of Last
Wednesday.
There are n few things that Mana
ger Murray and his tow-headed
Pitcher Braun ought to remem
ber; for Instance, tho story of
tho miller's flea, that every dog
has his day, that there's .many a
slip twlxt tha cup and the lip and that
sometimes history doesn't repeat itself.
Braun was probably reminded of this
fact in the second Inning when he was
found for six hits and seven bases and
gave two walks, a rather contrary sit
uation considering that Braun is the
individual who held the miners down
to a single and a two-baser in tho
Corbett game last "Wednesday.
When the game ended the Miners
had feasted on fourteen singles, three
doubles, a triple and live walks to first
and had only ono strike-out against
them while Gillon had made monkeys
out of the Champs. It was Gillon who
pitched for the Miners in the Corbett
game when he gave tho Champs the
same number of hits that ho did yes
terday, six.
ONLY TWO FAST PLAYS
The Miners' hitting was about all
there was to the game which wan
marked by an absence of fast fielding,
excepting a catch by Lyons of a ball
hit by Massey to the fence at left-center
and a running ono-hand stop and
assist by Welgand. O'Brien, after
fattening his batting percentage, re
tired In the fifth on account of a soro
knee and was relieved by Meaney. For
a similar reason Murray was succeed
ed by Coogan In the same Inning.
A bunched mlsplay and error by Ma
gulre in the first spoiled a chance to
make a double play und permitted the
Grays to scoro two undeserved runs.
"Welgand hnd singled and was followed
by Bossett's grounder which was hit
on easy bounds toward Beard. A doub
ling up was looked for but Magulrc
knocked tho ball into the outfield and
"Welgand went to third and Bassett to
second from where they scoted on
Knight's drive to centre. The side re
tired on a walk, n sacrifice, a force hit
and an infield assist.
In the fifth six of the Grays faced
Gillon and a run was scored without a
hit on a hlt-by-pltpher, a walk and
Eagan's error In a run after a high fly.
Drauby's three-baser and an outfield
fly gavo another unearned tun In the
eight, while tho fifth and final tally
came in tho ninth on a force hit and
Weie'ind's two-baser.
SCRANTON RUNS.
The Winers got after Braun In tho
first Inning. With O'Brien out on a
bunt, "Walters walked and camo in on
Beard's triple to right-centre. Eagan
forced Beard In a tag on tho third base
line, reached second during tho play
und scored on Bonner's single,
81x runs were made in the second on
singles by Magulre, Gillon and O'Brien,
walks to Walters and Beard. Eagan's
double and Bonner's single. Massey
wound up with a single but Bonner
had been flagged In an attempt to steal
and Magulru flow out.
In the fifth Gunson's single, Glllon's
sacrifice, O'Brien's two baser. "Wal
ler's and Beard's singles, Eagan's out
field fiv and a. single by Bonner earned
three runs. GlIlon'H single was tho
only Miners hit in the last three In
nings. Score:

It was the first time this season, on tho
Scranton grounds, that Beard has hit to

"Bill" Coughlln Is showing much im
provement at the bat and ho is hitting
tho ball with lots of strength. Paw-

Wellner's batting average Is .370 prob
ably hotter than that of any pitcher in
tho league who has pitched as many as
soven games.
Daly Improved his batting percentage
on Friday nnd Satutday. He quits Scran
ton with a batting and fielding percent
age of .3u2 and .9H0 respectively.
Gillon had a batting average of 1.000.
Beard and O'Brien, Eagan nnd Bonner
were next best. Gunson, Massey nnd
Meuney wero tho only ones to hit below
.033 per cent.
While watching a ball game Sunday on
the James Boyn" brounds, Gcorgo Ash,
of Mica street, thrust out his right hand
to protect two girls from a ball batted
among the spectators. The ball broke
two of Ash's fingers. Ho went to tho
Lackawanna Hospital for repairs.
Bonner batted In hard luck at that.
With even his threo hits he went out on
a liner to BasHett, sent another liner at
Welgand who knocked It down and made
a third out on It and hit a grounder that
look good for right field but was blocked
by Welgand In ono of tho two star plays
of the game.
Hanley, tho new Springfield catcher,
was once at b.it In the second game. He
made n hit and went to first with his cap
clutched In his hand, aa Goeckel usc4 to
do when ho first came Into the league.
Why an amateur or college player can
run faster with a cap In his hand Is a
problem unexplained.
Tno Big Threo have signed Catcher Mc
Aullcy, lato of Brooklyn, and according
to Corning more recently of that team.
Ho 1b due today Saturday). He Is said
to be a good catcher and a good batter.
Zahner has been released. It was re
ported last night that a member of tho
Big Three had said that Fraroy was due
to be released. If this Is sn, It would
have been an act which would havo soured
tho cranks most thoroughly. Bottcnus'
release bas not yet been forgiven. Ro

O'Brien In tho third Inning was run-
nlng botween second and third and be
hind Bassett who wos handling Beard's
grounder, It made tho third out, but
Basaott couldn't resist tho tomptation
to i. trot eh a leg behind him and send
O'Brien to the turf. Jack had a thing or
two to remark to the veteran third base
man and the latter may be able, after the
present series Is over, to compare notes
with Jud Smith snd Billy Goeckel on how
1t feels to get paid back again. Bassett
did the trick on the wrong colt yesterday.
Of Dick Brown, tho ex-Scranton pitcher,
the Pittsburg News says: ' 'Stub' Brown
meets the Bostons: Red Ehret lasted four
Innings, and then Buck Dwlng let him alt
on tho bench and throw bouquets at him-
self, while Mr. Brown, late of Baltimore,
was sent In to make the running. The
Boston men were real glad to see Mr,
Brown, who Is a tall, athletic-looking gen
tleman, who pitches a baso ball from tho
port side. iMr. Stlvetts. late of tho New
England league, slammed a harder liner
out Into right field, and Mr, Lowe just
to show Mr, Brown that hu was welcome
dropped a neat home run over the left
field fence. That put Mr. Brow'n perfect
ly at ease, and he showed It by giving Mr,
Collins a base on balls. Hamilton got 14
hit that ssored Collins, and only Corcor
an'a splendid left hand stop oft Tenney
stopped the reception Boston was tender
ing Mr. Brown, late of Baltimore."
TOBY GARDNER
GETS THE DECISION
Defeats Joe Allen fn Ten Rounds at
Music Hall.
DOTH STR0NQ AT THE FINISH
Gardner Wns (ho Mora Aggressive
nnd Wns on That Account Declared
tho Wlnner--Allon l'rovod llimsolf
n Clovor Llttlo Iloxcr nnd Landed
the Oftcncrof the Two--John Tluuo
Hnd iUitllov Nenrly Out.
Toby Gardner received tho decision
over Joe Allen In a ten round bout at
Music Hall last night. The result as
announced by James Judge, tho referee,
did not meet tho approval of Allen's
friends In the crowd of between three
and four hundred spectators and thero
was a nolBy howl of disagreement at
tho finish.
The referee had an unusually difficult
Job on hand and would undoubtedly
have declared tho contest a draw but
for on agreement mnde in tho ring that
there must be a decision. Gardner's
advantage, If any, was in his aggres
siveness and leads, but he received nt
least two telling blows for each one
that he delivered nnd appeared tho
weaker of the two at the llnlsh. They
fought at 112 pounds.
Gardner and his friends won a hun
dred dollars and the house proceeds.
From tho beginning of the fourth
round the battle was lively enough to
satisfy the most greedy ringside en
thusiast. The exchanges were fre
quent and vigorous, the clinches were
few and brief and there was more than
the usual amount of blood, something
your real admirer of ring events an
xiously awaits as a side relish to the
main business In tho ring.
THE EARLY FIGHTING.
Early in the fight Allen was as clear
ly on the defensive as was Gardner on
tho offensive. Each of the first four
rounds was a repetition of the round
preceding. Gardner was always leading
with left for the face and trying with
the right for tho body, but he missed
both oftener than he landed and re
ceived returns of Allen's lefts on the
stomach and rights In tho face or neck,
neck.
Gardner did better in the fourth, Af
ter falling to gain anything by his
early style of fighting in the first min
utes of the round, he encouraged a
clinch and was quick to follow the
break with a rush and right on Allen's
ribs. He repeated the trick before the
gong sounded.
The fifth round was the fastest up to
that point. Two clinches were follow
ed by rushes by Gardner and In each
case he found Allen's ribs with his
right, but just before the round ended
Allen made a neat parry of one of
Gardneer's rlb-roastcrs and returned
with a clean and telling right swing on
the neck which staggered Gardner. It
wns the cleanest and best blow up to
that time, but the bell halted Allen in
his Intent to follow the advantage thus
gained.
FIRST BLOOD.
Allen scored first blood by landing
full on Gardner's nose with his left
early in the sixth round. For the first
time In the fight Gardner was wary
and chose the defensive. Allen count
ered on the Jaw and in the clinch
Gardner Jammed his right into Al
len's ribs and with much force. Gard
ner uppercut with his right and Allen
landed his left on the stomach.
In the eighth there was a quick ex
change, Gardner finding the body with
his right and Allen sending his right
twice on the face. Gardner rushed Al
len to the ropes, the latter protect
ing hi? face with his glove nnd slit
ting the bridge of his own noso- with
tho knot which fastened his wrist sup
porter. A steady stream flowed from
tho wound up to the close of tho fight,
and painted the gloves, bodies and
faces of both contestants a vivid red.
In the eighth Allen landed his right
on body and neck and received an up
percut. Gardner began to fake grog
glness, but Allen detected the ruse
and would not be drawn Into a mlx-
UD.
The cut on Allen's noso was tho
source of a great flow of blood when
the ninth opened. He seemed the
stronger of the two, however. There
were several rushes by each and two
even exchanges of rights and lefts on
face and body before tho round closed.
THE LAST ROUND.
Gardner did tho forcing In tho final
round. His was all body work. He
missed two right swings for tho head
and received a left on the stomach and
another In the ribs for his pains. Gard
ner uppercut with his right and Al
len landed on tho body with his left
as tho bell rang.
Referee Judge was slow to make a
decision. It was fuly half a minute
before ho walked to tho ropw nnd
said:
"Gardner, having dono tho most lead
ingI declare him the winner."
There was a pandemonium of cheers
from tho Gardner faction, and of howls
and cat-calls from Allen's supporters.
The noise lasted at least a minute.
Among tho impartial spectators thero
was a division of opinion on the decis
ion, but tho majority wero inclined
to the belief that a draw would have
been tho proper conclusion.
Gardner's handlers wero Mlko Con
ley, Dick Eavers and John Trghe,
while Allen was seconded by John Mc
Fadden, Gus Rledenbach and Harry
Mitchell. John T. Brown nnd Eddie
Coleman were time-keepers and Larry
Ketrlck announcer.

"When iwn commissioned Napoleon Col
umbus McCloskey to go forth In tho tali
of 'K In quest of players we instructed
him to sign every promising youngster ho
met," remarked .Magnate Pulllam, of tho
Colonels. "Mao found enough lights con
coaled under minor laague bushels to bluff
tho glint of tho day god, O, Sol. There
wore twenty-eight of these sun bluffers
on tho roster of tho Colonels, enough un
derstudies to go around in a, grand opera
production of Abbey nnd Grau's.
"Whon McGunnigle took charge of th9
team last season he stnktd himself to n
rake and began weeding tho deuces out
of our deck. Eighteen were farmed out
to Texas league clubs and the others re
leased. MoGunnlglo compiled a directory
that looked like a Bcrtlllon system, show
ing tho color of tho hair, tho birthmarks,
position at the bat, and tho number of
beers each one was capable of stowing
away per diem.
"Lato In the season it youth with his
face in a Bllng and his left leg on the hos
pital list, pulled up at tho grand stand
gate in Loulsvlllo and applied for admis
sion on tho ground that he wns a ball
player and one of the farmed out handi
of tho Loulsvlllo club. Jimmy Rogers,
who wns on tho gate, looked ovor tho
mussed ball teaser and said: 'Go and re
peat that pipe to Bill Evcrltt or some
other Far-down. I'd like to get n picture
of you doing a tneak to second with
that sprinting gear. WJiy, you couldn't
stent a baso on Anson.' But the tatered
kid argued so plausibly that Rogers sent
for mo.
"Then tho youngster gavo his name,
Jack Glcason, a pitcher farmed out to
tho Dallas team and released. I looked
over McGunnlclo'9 Bertillon dope book
on the farm hands, and found that aiei
son tallied with tho description given
in the dope, excepting his eye, which had
enough crcpo on It to graco a states
man's funeral. Gleason conflded to me
tho cause of his funeral orb nnd wobbly
shaft. Ho arrived In Lcursvllle the pre
vious Sunday and approached' the mana
ger of an amateur club, offering to pitch
a game for a five-dollar note. The ama
teur manager signed him.
"The game was a hot betting event, anl
tho farmed out pitcher held the other sldo
down to three hits up to tho seventh In
ning. In the seventh one of the playerv
on tho other sldo discovered that Jack
vas a ringer. Tho whole team, re-enforced
by a mob that had a bet on tho
other pitcher, transformed Jack's shape
into a medicine ball, and passed him sll
over the field till the arrival of the police.
This confewlon was enough for me, nnd I
gavo Gleason his release the noxt day."
If Manager Burns always abuses his
plnycra as he did during the two games
Saturday he ought to be satisfied with tho
Ponies' present standing. A call at the
proper time and place Is all right, but
we cannot agree with tho Springfield
manager that abuse from the bench has a
good effe:t.
