' ' UOCIiESTKR AT 1MIOVIDENCB. ":" ' TEN INNINGS. Miners Win in the Last Gasp from -"" Wilkes'BarrcA Very Fast Finish. The Miners were a little off their feed again yesterday and narrowly misled defeat by Wllkes-Barre. The result was otherwise, but It required ten Innings for Grlflin's men to do the trick and after the Vllkes-I3arreai8 had missed many a chance to bag the grime. The visitors made a ticklish brace in the final half. OUIon was on the rubber for the Sllners and earned every penny of his salary. He was at times poorly sup ported and occasionally was well sup ported, but the particular credit for the victory goes to the diminutive pitcher. ' Keenan was in the box for the Wllkes-Unrreans and though he was touched twelve times for eighteen bases he ketft the hitting distributed up to the tenth inning when, with the score 4-4 a double by Homier and Mas sey's single developed the winning run. Maguire, followed with a three-baser, but Maspey had been put out at sec ond in an attempt to take a base too many on his single and in consequence the Miners won by only the narrow margin of one tally as Iloyd and Gll Jon, the. next two up, were easy outs at first. McMahon, Smith and Goeckel gave Keenan the kind of backing one reads about or the Miners might have accom plished their object in nine Innings. CASEY, THE UMPIRE. There was no umpire present, and Casey, ,of the Toronto club, which reached the city early in the morning, was agreed upon to adjudicate and to Incidentally earn five dollars. Casey did his work well. The crowd could hardly be distinguished as such for not more than 300 of the faithful were within the gates. They witnessed, how ever, an intensely Interesting game. A hit by Walters and a like of fense by Shannon was all that devel oped for either side in the first in ning. In the- second Homier scratched a ilngle, thanks to lietts" mlsjudgment, but Massoy fiew out to Goeckel, Ma guire forced Uonner and Boyd Hew out to center. Wllkes-Barre made clos er connections, but no runs. With two out Smith walked. McMahon hit a grounder that should have forced Smith, but Bonner fumbled it and the two runners were safe, Keenan forced 'McMahon. The Miners drew first blood in the third on Gillon's single, scratched over second to short right field, O'Brien's sacrifice and Walters' single. Beard forced Walters and Meaney got a pass. With two on bases Bonner popped an easy fiy for DIgglns. In' the Barons' half, 'with two out, an unearned run was scored on Beard's miss of Betts' grounder, which put the latter on second, from where he scored on Goeckel's single. Odwell was re tired at first. Score, 1-1. TWO SCRANTON RUNS. Massey hit a warm liner to Smith in the fourth, but was thrown out at first. Shannon fumbled Magulro's grounder and then threw wild to first, Maguire reaching second and coming homo on Gillon's double to right center after Boyd had fouled to Goeckel. O'Brien hit n safe one In front of the plate, ad vancing -Gillon to third. O'Brien stole 8tlfily.- A fourth, wide ball to Walters M:W;'& Passed b'al, on which Gillon spp.red and- O'Brien went to third. Iftard flew out to Betts. With two out again and In their last halt the:Barons earned one on McMa hon's" double and a single by Keenan. Score, 3-2. Jn the fifth, with Meaney and Bon ner .'disposed of on outfield files, Massey srdrrnhef'(nnpther at Smith and reached first before McMahon could attempt to field the ball. It had hit Smith In the chlfo and !"d Jarred that player's an atomy to quite a considerable extent. Bill stole second, but wao forced by Bayd at third. Shannon opened with a. .single, for Wilkcs-Barre. He was forced 'by Betts and the latter was flagged In an attempt to steal. Goeckel flew out to Meaney. Tjlllcra', O'Brien and Walters were con. secutlvely disposed of In the sixth. The Barons tied the score In their half. Od- well singled, was sacrificed to second and. cavao. In on Smith's two-baser to right center. McMahon was retired at first on Heard's good assist and Keenan flew" out to Walters. Score, 3-3. TIED AGAIN. ISnch' side tallied one in the seventh.

In the eighth and ninth tho Miners went down ono-two-threo, Tho Bar ons were likewise treated In the eighth. In the ninth, with one out, Bottenus reached second on Mnssey's missed grounder," but tho next two, Shannon and Betts, were unrqual to the emer gency and were retired at first and on an outfield fiy. After the Miners had obtained the winning tally on Bonner's double, nnd Mnssey's slngledn the first of tho tenth, tho Barons worked up a scare. Goeckel was retired at first.

A slngls would have tied the score and a double would have won the game, but the best McMahon could do wns to hit an easy fly to O'Brien and that ended the game with two on bases.

Will Go to .Mexico nt tho End of tho Scnion. The Baltimore players are discussing a proposed trip through Mexico nftcr tho championship season. The plan Is to have the Orioles nnd nn "All Ameri ca" team play n series of exhibition games through the west and afterward tour Mexico. Miinnzer Boncroft, of Cincinnati, has been asked to manage Hie "AH America" team, and will pro bnbly j;lvo a. favorable answer. The All America team wilt be the pick of the league players who are will ing to mako the trip. A number of prominent playcro have expressed their willingness to go and several members of the Boston team have nlre'ady post ed forfeits which nro provided for in. order to guard against the collapse of the scheme. The start will be mndo from Baltlmoie and the- first game is scheduled for Cincinnati. Games will be played In St. Louis and Kansas City, after which the teams will leave for the City of Mexico. President Diaz has consented to act ns a member of the reception commit tee nnd tho series will as a consequence become a .loclsty function In the McxU ran capital Manager Hanlon thinks that this alone will insure the financial success of the trip. The tour will be conducted on a co-operative basis and all receipts will be divided among the players, who will likewise share the losses If the plan proves a failure. BASE BALL DICKERS. It Is PlnVers Wanted, Not .Honey, Says Enrl Wngner. "Any one versed In base ball dickers during tho past three years must know that it is players, not money, that the club owners are after," remarked Earl Wagner. "A few days ago I offered Von der Ahe $3,000 for Donohue, nnd Chris asked me if there were any rod ents in the region of my attic. I would pay that price for any fnlr to middling pitcher; not one of the youngsters, but a seasoned man, who has faced tho major league batsmen at least twice." An offer that Ed Hanlon made tho New York club is a case that shows the value of a, seasoned pitcher. Ed wants another pitcher, and he Is will ing to pay as high as $3,000 possibly $3,500 for Dad Clarke, but Scrappy ad vised Freedman not to accept. Per haps Scrappy thought that Dad would strengthen tho Orioles enough to give them another pennant, and, on tho whole, it wns a wise move on Freed mnn's part to refuse Hnnlon's offer. Perhaps any other team club that has not got a look In for the pennant would stand a better chance of landing Dad than Hanlon did." Signed bv Springfield. Springfield, Ma-ss., July 7. Jimmy Rogers, the former Louisville manager, has been signed to play second base for the Springfield team. DIAMOND DUST. Toronto hero today, Friday and Satur day. Only ono error has been charged against Tiernan In the last 3S games. Morse and Ounson will bo tho battery opposed to Toronto in today's opening game with the Canucks. Tho Miners will be at homo until utter July 21 and will play Toronto, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, as named, thrco games each. Brooklyn Is after Pitcher Joe Yeager, who has been on the Lancaster team for the past three years. Mr. Byrno offered Pitcher Chauncey Fisher and a good sized bonus for Yeager. Baltimoro and Philadelphia would also like to sccuro Yeager, but he has refused several offers to play at Baltimore, which Is his home. Baltimoro was most successful with tho '.oulsvlllo team, with which they won six straight. Out of 25 games with the Bos ton, Cleveland, Pittsburg and St. Louis teams thej won no less than 20. This year, however, the Cincinnati had tho best of them up to date, while New York had won a majority of their games with them up to date and' the champions had little to brcg of with tho Brooklyns. The freaks of fortune In base ball are attested in tho case of Gene Do Montre vlllo and Joe Corbett. De Montrevllle wns but a so-so hitter In tho Eastern league, but he suddenly paralyzed tho critics and set the form players awry by continually lighting on the shoots of the twirlurs In the big league till he Is now acknowledged one of tho host natural bastmen In tho business. Joe Corbett, tho other case In point, was farmed out to Scranton by Ed Hanlon last summer, and the Eastern league hitters dtiMed so fieely with Joe's curves that he was set down as a fail ure by many of tho players. Today he Is tho winning pitcher of the Orioles. AMATEUR BALL NOTES. The Lackawannas would like to play the South Side club, July 11, on Dun more grounds.

The pluck of tho young- ladles was ful ly demonstrated In u way that pleases everybody. Tho two girls wcro out riding recently, and while resting on tho roadside, near Ilayosvtltc, saw a tramp scatter eomethlnc on the road In front, of them, and then dlsappcnr In tho bushes which bordered the road side, The girls were forced to ride by tho place nnd saw that the tramp had scattered pieces of broken glass along the road with the evident Intention of puncturing the tlrea of their wheels. Looking about, they caught sight of the tramp hiding in tho bushes. "Ynu did thli," exclaimed Miss Hill, pointing toward the man; "come out here at once and pick up the glass." The tramp laughed insolently and ut tered a course remark. The two girls held a brief consultation. Then one of them walked coolly over to a willow tree, from which she broko oft two small branches. The two then advanc ed resolutely toward the tramp, who at once capitulated and picked up every bit of glass he had strewn on the road a few moments before. Then lie slouched away, but when at what he regarded as a safe distance he hurled hack a volley of abuse. The girls Jumped on their wheels and in a min ute had overhauled the rascal, to whom they administered a -thorough thrash ing with the switches. A now field for women has been open ed In London, In tho shape of bicycle re;alrers, and Instructors In riding. The city has been Invaded by women in thl res-pect. They have a Ions list of customers, and instead of having patronn come to a. shop the women re pairers visit the house or place of busi ness once a week. These women are familiar with the different parts of a wheel, having studied and graduated at u bicycle school, and are competent to make all needed repairs. Their work appears to give satisfaction. Miss Porter, who recently left Chi cngo for a ride to New York, covering a number of centuries during her trip, Is a good nnd enthuslnstlc rider. She is not a professional rider In any sense of the word. Her long ride proved ex tremely pleasant, because, she said, it was so nicely planned. Her first three centuries were made over roads of tho roughest character. She did not lack for company all the way. She never had less than two pacemakers, and some times had as many as thirty, all vol untary. She was so nicely and gentle manly treated by her escorts that she became provoked when she heard peo ple talk of the demoralizing Influ ence of the bicycle. Any pastime or companionship may be made demoral izing Just as readily as can bicycling, she said, though she always found more gentlemen than loafers riding bi cycles. Miss Porter was dressed en tirely in white, from a white cap to white shoes. Including white bloomers, and as a result she attracted consider able attention all along the route. The attention of some of the female riders of Scranton Is called to nn act committed unthinkingly by them, but which does not cause them to present a pretty or graceful figure. It is the practice of standing In the street rest ing with one foot on the ground and the other foot on the outside pedal. Seme girls have acquired this habit and do It regularly. It Is best to take the foot immediately off the pedal when dismounting. Blind riders are novelties, and some time ago a paragraph was published in this column regarding the wonderful accomplishments of Helen Kcllar. There Is another blind wheelwoman, and she Is Miss Kate Helmke, a teach er of the Missouri Asylum for tho Blind at St. Louis. Her first effort wns on a tandem, and after a month's practice she rode unattended, confin ing herself, however, In the asylum grounds. Not satisfied with this she determined upon a trip on the streets of the city. After being attended over a smooth course of several blocks she went unattended over the route. The tour was made without mishap, her keen sense of hearing warning her of the approach of vehicles, Mrs. A. IX. Lawton, of Savannah, Ga., will erect a church in memory of her deceased husband, which will cost some thing like $25,000. In agreeing to es tablish this church, Mrs. Lawton has made several lnterestlngprovislons. She stipulates that It must at all times be opsn to itinerant, ministers and lectur ers whose objects aro worthy ones. There is no church or building In the city now which provides for this ob ject and Mrs. Lawton has always held that there should be. Mrs. Lawton Is also a believer In bicycling, and she wants the Lawton Memorial to be popu lar with bicyclists. With that end In view she also stipulates that there shall bo a room In tho basement of the church In which the wheels of all who desire to attend services can be kept. The congregation has agreed to the provisions. L. A. WNATI0NAL MEET. After six weeks of hard work S. Spencer Chamber, chairman of the transportation committee of the eigh teenth annual meet of the League of American Wheelmen, which will bo held In Philadelphia, August 4-7, has oillcially announced that a ono-fare-for-the-round-trlp rate lias "been se cured from nil points east of St. Louis during the meet. Tickets are to be sold and good, going, August 3 and 4, and returning from Philadelphia to August 0, Inclusive. This Is indeed good news to league members throughout tho country, for the one-faro concession will undoubt edly bo allowed by all tho passenger associations In the United States. This Is the first Instanco In tho his tory of the L. A. W. that such a favor able rate has been made, and It argues well for a record-breaking attendance of c,clers In this city during the first week of Aucust. Not one Is better qualified to speak authoritatively on matters connected wllh the League of American Wheel men than Abbot Bassett, Its long-lime secretary. Recently, In a letter to a prominent league official, Mr. Bassett, In speaking of the coming national meet, had the following to bay: "From my point of view it looks as though MADE ME A MAIM AJAX TABLETS POSITIVELY CURE A LI 2irvou Jiucaie Falling Mem 'prr, I m potency, Bleep to whom, etc.. caused llT AhuM np ntliar KtraiuM nnrt InAim cretions.

Prom which it limy be seen that the execu tive committee's- claim that ?.0,000 out-of-towners will attend next August's moot 13 not an Immoderate one. "Popular" prices will be tho rule at the now Willow Grove track during the two days' racing which will decide the national L. A. W. championship for 1S07. With a minimum charge of 2f cents for the "bleachers" (which will accommodate 16,000 people) tho prices for ressrved seats will be 50 cents, 75 cents and $1, according to location. The seats are so arranged that an un interrupted view of the entire track may be had from every seat within the inclosure. Applications are com ing In at such rt rate as to warrant the belief that the entire reserved sections will bo sold out lefore the opening day of the races, August C. It therefore behooves clubs and parties who desire Bcntu together (out-of-town orgunlzn t ons especially) to file their applica tions immediately. C. P. Weaver Eighth nnd Dauphin streets, has charge of this matter. Communcla tlons nddressed to him will receive a prompt response. BICYCLE BRIEFS. A resident of New Jersey proposes to avoid the annoyance and delay caused by broken spokes, by securing the ends or the spokes In removable slotted lugs, n the rim, so that a new one may be Inserted in a moment. When a mnn walks a mile It Is said he takes on nn nverage 2.2G3 steps, lift ing the weight of the body with each step. When he rides a bicycle of the average gear he covers a mile with tho equivalent of only C27 steps, re quires less force, bears no burden and covers the distance in less than one third of the time. A Jersey rider has invented nn ap paratus for towing a cripple bicycle, which Is done by means of an appli ance detachably secured to the frame of one machine and carrying an auto matically winding tow line, which Is attached to the disabled wheel. A bicycle attachment, consisting of two frames, which aro so arranged as to form a foot rest when coasting, to hold the machine In a vertical position when not in use, and which may be locked securely to prevent the wheel from being stolen. Is ithe invention of an incenious Texan. A patent has been granted on a ma chine to be used for street cleaning purposes. It Is a bicycle with a roller brush attachment, and Is Intended for city use. It Is claimed that the In vention can do the work of six men In less time. A new Idea in bicycle bells that will surely give a loud alarm Is composed of three bells mounted on the handle bar. with three hammers, all operated by one lever, the bells being tuned to sound like a chime. To prevent the balls from dropping out of the bearings when the wheel Is taken apart, a new device hns a metal washer which locks Into the outside of the cup and projects out far enough to hold the balls In place without in terfering with the cones on the shaft. Two bicycles can be solidly coupled together by a newly patented coupler, consisting of three X braces, one set being attached to tho rear hubs, and the lower braces of the wheels near the crank shafts, a second from the back upright braces near the top to the heads, and tho third set across the heads of the machines.
