WILKKS-HAIIHE AT PnoVIDUXCK. HOCHKSTRIl AT SYRACUSE. lll'ITALO AT TOHONTO. WELL! WELL! AGAIN. Miners Play the Ponies (0 a Standstill in a Ten-Inning GameTwo Straight. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Rprlntrfleld, July 2. It would take a mathemntlclnn with an expert knowl 'dRO of spherical trigonometry to fig ure out why Springfield was nble to make today's game a ten-Inning light, for the I'onles were outplayed at near ly every point and did not deserve to be In the game at any stage. Lucky batting and some magnificent pitching by Jlalns at critical points made up for his poor Rupport. Italn Mopped the game at the end of the beventh with the score tied at :i-3. After a thirty-minute wait play was resumed. Olllon could not do much with a wet ball and the Ponies batted in two runs. IT OKTS INTERESTING. Gilbert's wild throw and Magulrc's single gave Scranton one in the eighth. In the ninth O'llrien's double, Gilbert's wild throw again and a base on balls tied the score. In the tenth after two were out the visitors won on Magulre's scratch lilt, Bloore's prror and Heard's single. Two sharp double plays In the ninth and tenth Innings by Ueard and .Ma- ;ulro respectively shut off what would Flipce been Inevitable scores off Jleany, u-no succeeueu union In the ninth. In lien case a run would have won tho i.'imo, but for the Miners' fast fielding. By Associated Press. Springfield, Muss., Julv 2. Luck and Mains' magnificent pitching In tight places enabled Springfield to glvo Scran ton a good argument today.

The most games won by one club from another aro tho eleven by Buffalo from Rochester. WIIkes-Barro hasn't won a gamo from Syracuse or Buffalo and only two each from Scranton and Toronto. Do Haas Robinson says that the Cleve land club will be transferred to Milwau kee If ho loses his suit In Cleveland on the Sunday ball question. Boston's shnro of the receipts for the three Baltimore gnmcj was $13,000, enough to pay all traveling expenses for tho sea son or nil salailes for a month. It was quite a coincidence that Jennings should get In tho game nnd bo hit by a pitched ball at a tlmo when that circum stance was needed by Baltimore to help win tho game. Tommy Bannon's having his troubles with Syracuse. Ho was tho only thing on earth soon after being signed. It was ever so with Tommy. Though of tender age, ho has played with more clubs than tho law allows. The News-Dealer suggests to the now AVIIkes-Bairo manager that he keep Gorckel, Kienan und. Bottenus and re lease tho rest of the team. What's tho matter with Hetts, Digging and Smith? Rochester Herald. High balls. Morso will pitch against Springfield to day.

Scranton la to date the heaviest hitting team In ino league according to correct figures. Wellnor. Harper. Meaney and Glllon will bo tho probable pitching order for 'Monday's Wllkes-Harre-Scranton games.

Toronto comes for games Thursday, Friday ami Saturday. Buffalo, Rochester and Syra cuse will bo next hi tho order named up to und Including July 21. Tho Wllkes-Barro Recoid says that the Toronto, Providence and Buffalo teams aro apt to be tho chief contenders for tho 4ennant, with Syracuse as runners up. -Toronto Globe. That might come true If Providence h&d to play only tho Wllkes Barro team, but there are other clubs In tho race. Scranton certainly has ns good u chanco for third place as has cither Provldetico or Toronto The Wllkes-Barro Record's sickening, oft-rcpe'nted irfercnces to "our" Hughlc ought to bo called In. Hughlo Is all right; If ho wt-sn't it would not bo surprising that Wllkes-Barro had a right to dub him "OUR" llughle. Jt happens, though, that tho famous shortstop's homo Is nt Avocn, four miles from tho Scranton city line. If .1 freight car stands In your line of vision ut tho Avoca station ono cannot see the town, Jennings on tho road says he's "from Scranton Just outslde."It Is hardly probable that he is flattered by tho Wllkes-Barro slobbering nnd tho en dearing references to "our" llughle. LAST RACE DAY AT DRIVING PARK Best Meeting In Years Brought to a Successful Close. SIX HEATS IN TUB 2.34 TROT Kvont Wns Won by Josephine--Annie .! Wins tho 2.20 Trot or l'nce, Red Roso the Running Race--Und In hibition by ltowdy Joo--Trnck Hlcyclo Record Broken by Keller und Grcgory--Accldcnts to thu Ruunci s. Threatening weather yesterday prob ably cnused a reduced attendance nt the third nnd last day of the Driving park races, but there .was a large crowd present Just tho snTne and It got its fill of entertnlnment. The after noon saw the close of the best meeting In Scranton In mnny years. Rowdy Joo acted badly and failed to reduce Raven's track record; Kcllernnd Gregory, the tandem bicycle pair of the Green Ridge wheelmen, made a new paced nnd unpaced track record, and with the horses there waa a run ning race of accidents nnd two good 2.34 trot nnd 2.29 trot or pnee events. Starter Fred Smith, of Buffalo, again ofllclated and had with him ns Judges, -J. D. Carpenter, of Tunkhannock, and J. W. Houser, M. D., of Taylor. Out of ten entries In tho 2.34 trot there were six scratches. Of the four who started Topsle R went to the post a prime favorite. The other three were Josephine (K, R. Hucklcv), Julia R. (F. W. Cook), and Bessie Madison (W. C. Norton). Those withdrawn were Sarnclnesca, Daisy, Cal, Little Rose, Alice Wilton Nand Prospect. Topsle R drew tho pole nnd wns clearly superior to the others. She broke badly at the wire In the first half, but recovered on the first turn, was oven with Josephine on the upper turn and won handily by a scant half length, Josephine second, Julia R third nnd Bessie Madison a bad acting last. Time, .39, 1.17, 1.57, 2.34. A FAST HEAT. The second heat was faster by four and one-half seconds, Topsle R keeping the lend throughout and Josephine and Julia R lighting for second. The latter two broke on the last turn, but Joseph ine lecovered the quicker and wns sec ond a length behind Topsle R and the same distance before Julia R. Time, .3S, 1.151,4, 1.G3, 2.30. There was some queer driving over Topsle R, Julia R, nnd Josephine In the third heat. The officials saw It from the Judges' stand, but as the unfavored li-irse was driven out and won It was decided not to caution the other three until before the fourth heat. Topsle R led the bunch with Jo sephine and Julia R close up for three quarters. In the last turn Topsio II broke nnd the next two had a good chance to win, but they broke In suc cession and Bessie Madison came up on the outside. Topsle R had never re covered her stride. Josephine nnd Ju lia It with the hent cinched were not dilven out until Bessie Madison showed to the front. It wns too late then to beat the latter and she won by a hRlf length. Julia R, second a head In front of Josephine, Topsle R last by five lengths. Time: .38, 1.10. 1.36, 2.33. F. W Cook and E. 11. Buckley, the divers of Julia R, and Josephine were cautioned to drive out the fourth beat just before It was started. Bessie Madison with the pole advantage was first around the turn and tip the back streteh. Tho quarter wns turned In .3S',. Bessie Madison broke on the up per turn nnd Josephine got the pole and held the lead to the finish. Topsle R was breaking at all points in the race and was a bad last. The half was made In 1.17, the three-quarters In 1.56 and the mile In 2.34. Josephine showed first by a length. Beside Madi son a length before Julia It, third. The fifth heat showed the best horses first and second, Josephine nnd Julia R. All four broke at some point but Josephine nnd the place horse trotted the steadier heat and were entitled' to their positions. Bessie Madison was third and Topsle It fourth. Time: .c7',L. 1.15, 1.53, 2.33Vi. JULIA It OUT OF IT. For not winning one out of five heats Julia It went to the barn before the sixth heat. This left only Josephine, Topsle R nnd Bessie Madison to com. rere. Josephine went nt n gait which was plainly one of skipping. She did not trot a square mile. Topsle R did and would have been awarded the heat but for a break In tho home stretch. Josephine finished first by a length and a half. Time: .38, 1.15, 1.53i,i, 2.32V.

Fifteen were scratched In the 2.29 trot or pace, hut n good field of six and anybody's choice remained, Annie J., Mark Anthony, Myrtle S Hilly If., Bellman and Clay Cross. At the post Myrtle S and Clay Cross proved to be very troublesome. After five trials Starter Smith remarked to tho drivers of tho two horses in question that he could not hold four good horses for two bad ones and that ho would send them away on the next attempt. Billy II., the polo horso, wns slow In scoring and it was not until tho seventh trial that they got the word with Myrtle S. nnd Clay Cross bad lasts, tho latter break ing. Billy II., Annie J. and Mark An thony showed first at tho quarter In 311,4. and at tho half In 1.10.

He won the 2.10 pace with Prince Al bert In the rcmnrkablo tlmo of 2.11 Vi. 2.08V4. and 2.07. This Is tho fastest record of the sea son to date, and Is great speed for this early In tho year. Probably because Hlrney is so well known hero his driv ing at Readvllle was generally dis cussed at tho Scranton Park yesterday. TRUE, GAME, CORNELL ! Won the Race, but Offered to Row University of Pennsylvania the Dis tance Again Today. Poughkcepsle, N. Y., July 2. Tho second 'vaiBlty race upon the four-mile course, between the elght-onred crews from Cornell, Columbia nnd Pennsyl vania came off this evening. Cornell won, Columbia second, about eleven lengths and a half to the rear. Penn sylvania foundered Just after passing tho two-mile mark. The ofllclal time: Cornell, 20.47 4-5; Columbia, 21.20 2-5. All of the expectations of those lov ers of American sports that by estab lishing new records Pennsylvania and Columbia would be entitled to demand admission Into what promises to be an Intercollegiate rowing combination of three colleges, Yale, Harvard and Cornell, have been rudely shattered. Tho contest on the Hudson this after noon which had been heralded as promising a close and exciting finish, nnd which each college conch declared would bo a record-breaking contest, turned out to be the merest sort of a procession nnd an apology for a race. It Is true that the water conditions were not favorable to fast time, nnd that men like Dr. Walter Peet and ether boating experts alleged that It was not a proper time to start a race, but it Is also true that once having started the chances were certainly equal for each crew. There was really no race to describe, at least not after the second mile. During the first three quarters of a mile the contest wns rath er pretty, Pennsylvania took tho wat er first, Columbia following nnd Cor nell hanging to the rear. At the quar ter of a mile Pennsylvania had a lead of one-half a length over Columbia, and Columbia one-half a length over Cornell; Pennsylvania was, however, splashing badly. At the three-quarter of a mile Penn sylvania had three-quarters of a length still over Cornell, who had pulled on beyond Columbia for about half a length. It was here that the trouble seemed to begin In the Pennsylvania, boat. They had caught considerable wash from a passing steamer. By the time the crews had reached the mile and a. quarter the Pennsylvania boat was lumbering nlong, filled almost to the gunwales, but the men continued bravely pulling, although falling far behind Columbia, who In rowing In shore to avoid the swells, had lost con siderable distance to Cornell. From a mile and a half down the almost lu dlclous procession began. Cornell fin ished an easy winner. To the pitiable fizzle of the afternoon there wns one bright side nnd that was the true American sportsman spir it displayed by Cornell. On the ref eree'e boat, Just after Pennsylvania was swamped, Professor Wheeler, of Cornell, turned to James Bond, of Pennsylvania, and said: A marvolons euro for DKUMtE.NNKSH, can bo given eecrotly at bume. It Is harmless. n. . . . i?" "utKuw, ur ffrua itenovai nemirai i;a, no linwi'viw, :sw York. FULL IHFORMATIOn GLADLY MAILED FREE. "mi BA ANTI-JAG BICYCLE. IDE BY SCRANTON WORKMEN ASP GUARANTEED S. G.
