PROVIDENCE AT SPItlNGFEILD.
DOWN GO THE GRAYS.
Miners Gave Harper Superb Backing,
and Won in Jthc Last
Inning of Game.
The Miners yesterday made It three
straight from Providence and bagged
the fifth game out of six played since
the return from the mournful trip up
north. Although Egan, the Providence
plteHer. was hit with surprising regu
larlty after the Initial Inning, he pre
vented any bunching excepting tho
third nnd up to tho ninth nndrunnlng were responsible for the defeat
and it was not until that Inning that
the Miners had the game safe. The
Grays led until tho fifth when tho
Miners tied tho tally. They put one in
velvet In the seventh and In the ninth
batted In four runs on two doubles and
a slnsle, aided and abetted by a hlt-
by-pltcher and an error by Cooney.
Harper attended to the pitching end
of the game for the Miners and permit
ted only three hits after the third In
ning, but he wns found for seven all
told and presented bases on balls with
nerve-racking generosity at times
when the Grays were prevented from
tcorlHg by the fastest of fn3t field work
nnd good luck.
In but few If any games at Athletic
Park this season has a pitcher been
better supported than was Harper yes
terday and In but few games have the
Miners pulled themselves out of tighter
holes. Mnssey, Beard, Bonner nnd
O'Brien In his one chance did phenom
enal work In tho field nnd Bonner
' took the bouquets for fast baso run
ning and timely hitting.
THE STRUGGLE BEGINS.
The Miners were first ntbat and with
O'Brien out Walters and Beard got on
the circuit on errors by Welgand and
Drauby. Eagan Hew out to Coogah, ad
vancing the two runners each a base.
Bonner was retired at first. For tho
Grays Welgand hit a lucky one direct
ly In fiont of tho plate nnd not even an
attempt could bo mudo to assist him
out. He reached second on Basset's
hit and scored on Knight's triple to left.
Drauby singled Knight home, but was
the starting point of n double play by
Bonner, Beard and Massey on Coonoy's
force hit. Score, 6-2.
In tho second Massey singled, but
was flagged nt second. Magulre put
one down the left line for two bases,
but Gunson and Harper flew out. In
the Providence hnif. Lyons singled nnd
Coogan sacrificed. Dixon hit n wnrm
one which Mngulro juggled nnd wound
up with a high throw to first, but Mas
sey Jumped In the air and made a one
hand out. Lyons had wandered oft
third and toward home and attempted
to score on Massey's return of the ball
to Magulre, but the latter snapped It In
to Gunson and Lyons was made tho
fag end of a nent double play.
With one hnnd out In the third, sin
gles by Walters nnd Beard, Eagnn's
fly to right and Bonner's two-baser
over third brought In two tallies and
tied the' score. The Grays made one In
their half arid with two out. Harper
gnvo walks to Bassett and Knight and
Drauby singled. Bassctt scored on tho
AIL which Eagan let go through him
and Knight took leg ball for home on
the' error, but Waltera had backed
Petef' and .nss(t,ed the ball to Beard,
wll'p.ltt.turn g,qt It to Qunbon In time to
nip, Knight at the plate. Score, 2-3.
THREE ON BASES.
Mngulro singled In tho fourth.
Af
ter. Gunrion had sacrificed and Harper
had fanned the bases filled on
0,'Bplen's single and a walk to Walters,
l)i Iho slde-'r'etlred on Beard's fly to
Knight. Tho Grays' got threo on bases
In their half on a walk, a sacrifice, an
other walk, plxon's life and a hit by
pitcher, but Welgand had the third
strike railed on him.
Eagan's triple to left and Bonner's fly
to centre brought In a run and tied tho
score In tho fifth. A base on balls with
two out was all that the Grays obtain
ed jn their half. Score. 3-3.
In the sixth Gunson tingled and Har
per sacrificed, but O'Brien forced Gun
sou at third and Walters fouled to Bas
sett. The Grays went down one, two,
three.
Beard led off With a two-baser In tho
peventh, got a base on LEagan'R life and
peored on Bonner's Blnglo to right.
Mas3cy singled Bonner to third, where
liej'Was thrown out by Eagan, and Ma.
Billre flew out to Knight. An outfield
fly and two asslstB to Mousey disposed
of the Champs. Bcoro 4-3.
It Is hard to understand how two
doubles don't make a run but that Is
what happened In the eighth. With
OunBOrt out, Harper hit to left center
fop two Backs and O'Brien hit a high fly
to sh6rt left cfentoV. Lyons, Cooney
and Welgand went for It but Jet It fall
BfirvPr JjienJ. Hwpr going to third
nn&O'nrleri sliding for his second baso
on the1 hit. Walters forced Harper In a
tagtbetwtcu thlhl and tho plate and
Vard flew" out to prauby. For Proyl
t
WorM of
denco, Knight opened with a single but
was forced by DrauDy' and tho latter
by Cooney. Lyons went out on a ilnor
to Bonner.
FOUIl IN THE NINTH.
The Miners opened the ninth with
good luck. Engan was hit by a pitch
ed ball arid. Cooney made a mlscuo
on Uonnar'fl grounder, Peter going to
third and Bonner to second. Massey
hlf td right for two bases, scoring Pet
er and advancing Bonner to third.
Mngulre's two baser to left brought
Bonner and Massey In. Ounson fouled
out to Knight. Maculro went to third
on Harper's life and scored on Waller's
fly out to Knlclit.
With one out In the Champs' half,

permitted to feteal. Bassctt went out
from Beard to Massey. Scone 8-4.

Didn't Like Criticism.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune,
Wllkes-Hnrre, Juno 23. Centerllolder
Urott, who writes "M, D." after his
name, Jumped tho Wllkes-Carrre East
ern league base ball club tonight and
left for his home at Waterloo, Ohio.
In the eighth Inning of today's game
with Springfield with ono out Drott was
on first and Manvllle on third. Bot
tenus wont out on a fly to right field
and Manvllle would have tied the
score, but Brott tried to make second
and was thrown out by Schefller.
Brott's poor base-running lost a chance
to tie the score and possibly lost
Wllkes-Barro the game.
Ho was criticised after the game and
on that account decided to quit the
business. He left here, bag and bag
gage, on tho midnight Lehigh Valley
train and with nearly $50 salary duo
liltu. Ho had two hemorrhages of the
lungs a week ago and has not been In
good condition since.

BOXING IN BELLEVUE.
Number of Ring Events in the Tourney
of the Arlington Athletic
Club.
A crowd of nearly ono hundred
sports, a number of them from the
central city, witnessed a series of box
ing bouts under tho auspices of tho Ar
lington Athletic club in Goldcn's hall,
Bellovue, last night. Tho only trood
event was between Bartly Mangran
and Henry Woods, of Bellevue, but
theirs was of the exhibition order for
three rounds nnd with tho understand
ing that there would be no decision.
John Tlghe, of tiho South SId was
refereo and John Barrett, of Bellovue,
time-keeper. Tho Arlington club offi
cers who managed the affair were
John Malloy, president: Michael Re
gan, secretary; and Michael Golden
treasurer. All the bouts were of threo
rounds duration and wero marked by
slugging nnd the tender ages of the
contestants. The first event was be
tween John Nallln, of the flats, and
John Dunleavy, of the West Side Ath
letic club. They were 110-pound lads
and boxed three rounds. Nallln.though
the shorter and with a disadvantage In
reach forced matters In the first two
rounds. It wns a vicious fight. In
the final round Dunleavy met Nal
lln's rushes and landed several right
swinge on the body and head. Both
wero weak at the finish and the bout
was declared a draw.
John Sheridan and Patrick Ford, 110
pound youngsters of Bellevue, met In
a three-round go and each put up as
fast nn argument as was witnessed
In tho preceding bout. It was a
punching exhibition In which the bet
ter boxing ot Ford was balanced by
Sheridan's greater weight and reacto.
Ford drew first blood In tho third
round. They were unwilling to box
un extra round for a decision and
Referee Tlghe declared It a draw.
MALLOY-M'LOUGHLIN BOUT.
The next pair, William McLaughlin,
of the West Side, nnd Patrick Malloy,
of the Aldingtons, appeared In trousers
and sleveless jerseys. They weighed
about 125 pounds, and sparred three
rounds. Malloy Is a brother of the Mal
loy who was nearly put out by Tlghe
In Music Hall Mondny night. He had
a little science nt his command, while
McLoughlln had none, but he wns a
strong, husky boy and gave Malloy a
hard battle. The latter did most ot the
leading In the last round nnd got the
decision. McLoughlln drew first blood
In the second round.
Patrick Sheridan, of the Arllngtons,
and Thomas Ruddy, of the West Side
Athletic club, met at 118 pounds. Sheri
dan showed a very fair knowledge of
the game nnd outclassed Ruddy a mile.
They tapped one another In a fashion
which made It plain that they were
fondling each other. An Inebriated
spectator began singing "Comrades,"
but It did not encourage the pair to
any faster work. In tho second round
Sheridan hit Ruddy at will, but pur
posely avoided many chances to finish
him. Claret was flowing from Ruddy's
noso before the round closed. In the
final round Sheridan warmed up a lit
tle nnd after shoving his right Into
Ruddy's faco several times the latter
said: "That's enough," and the bout
was ended by the referee and 'given to
Sheridan.
By far tho best event of the night
was that between Henry Woods, of
Bellevue, nnd Bartley Mangan, of tho
Arlington club. They were very ovenly
matched at 140 pounds and boxed three
rounds. Theirs wns an exhibition
event and concluded the entertainment.
