COULDN'T HIT SAFE.
Miners Swatted Hard and Often, but the
Bait Was Always Caught.
Almost Blanked.
Providence, It. I., June 29. The Rnmo
between Piovlilence and Scranton to-
day wai one-sided because the homo
team was hitting the ball free with men
on bases. The Scranton's swatted the
ball haul and steadily but Hodson kept
them hitting- In the air and with dash
ing fleldlns support was able to hold
them down to live hlto.
The Miners would have been shut out
but for a line drive over left fence In
seventh.
In the third Hodson was hit by a
pitched ball and Weljrand pot called
balls. They advanced on a clever sac
rifice by Lyons and scored on Knight's
triple. Knight scored on a hit by Dixon
which Homier tried for but It bounded
away.
BONNER'S FINE CATCH.
A fine one-hand catch of a line hit
was worked by I?onner for a double
play In the fifth nnd It shut out runs.
In the sixth a hit by Diauby, a bunt by
Cooney, which Glllon failed to pick up,
with Iiassett's sacrifice, a wild pitch
and a hit by Murray produced two
runs.
Dixon's single nnd doubles by Drauby
and Cooney In the seventh made the
score 7 to 0. The lead would have been
bigger but for Massey's Jump In the
air and a capture of a drive from
Knight that would have been good for
three bases.
Then Eagan opened for Scranton with
his homer. "SVelghand put his homer
over the centre fence In the eighth In
ning. Three singles with a sacrifice pro
duced the ninth run for Providence.
Scranton had men on second and third
Jn the eighth nnd ninth, but were shut
out.
By Associated Press.
Providence, II. I., June 29. Providence
baited in championship form today and
defeated Scranton. The Miners would
h.ivo been shut-out but for a home run In
the seventh inning. Tho game was re
plete with brilliant features in .fielding
on both sides. Scoic:

Dan Shannon, released by Itochester,
has been engaged to manage the U'llkes
Barre club, according to tha Wllkes-Barro
New.s-De.iler of yesterday, which con
tained the following:
"Daniel Webster Shannon, Esq., Mon
day afternoon ulllxed his delicate. Spen
cerlan bisnaturo to a Wllkcs-Uairo Base
Ball association contract. Dan says there
Is good material in the Coal Barons und
ho will make them play better ball than
they aro doing now. Two years ago when
Dan and the Wilkes-Uane management
had a disagreement Dan said: 'I wouldn't
play under tho present management for
$10,000 a month." Tho management has
not changed and Dan is getting well, not
quite $10,000 a mouth. Shannon will Jo.n
tho team at Springfield on Wednesday."
According to the contract Shannon is to
play second baso and manage tho team.
It Is not likely he will play until It Is cer
tain that Sholta is too light to cover sec
ond bag.
Those Montreal enthusiasts haven't lost
hope of securing the Wllkes-Barro fran
clilso as Indicated in the following Asso

"Montreal, Quo., June 29. With a view
to securing admission of Montreal into the

Ball clubs, the Montical Base Ball asso
ciation has been formed with a capltul
of $10,000. Tho Intention Is to buy out
tho Wllkes-Barro franchise, which, It is
understood, can be secured on reason
able terms."
Thera may havo been some now deal on
tho quiet with tho Wllkes-Barro associa
tion, but the engaging of Manager Dan
Shannon doesn't Indicate it.

Is utterly unfit to olllclatc in that position.
Ho said to nn Express reporter that out
of thirteen games umpired by Gruber the
Ilochestcrs had lost cloven. Previous to
Grubcr' nppenrnnco on tho diamond they
had wop five or six straight. Grubcr may
occasionally glvo Rochester tho worst of

Buffalo. As a matter of fact, it was Just
tho other way. In Filday's gnme, for ex
