Miners Lost Because Rochester Excelled Them in All Departments of the Game. The detailed score and summary very clenrly Indicates why the Brownies won in a walk from the Miners yesterday. Yerrlck pitched superb hall and made amends for his weakness In the wind up of Thursday's game and would have nhut the Miners out but for nn error by Dooley with two out and following Boyd's three-baser In the fifth inning. Aside from their Inability to hit Yer rlck the Minors discouraged the local fans by their poor base running and Bonner's errors early In the game, which gave the Brownies their lead. As on Thursday, Dooley and his hit ting cut quite a figure In the contest and made four of Rochester's nine runs possible. Bonner fumbled Shan non's grounder nt the start and by his wild throw when the latter was safely on first made a double error, Shannon going to second and scoring on two IHch to the outfield. In the third Shanno.i walked, got second on "Wellner's fumble of Lynch's bunt and the two runners advanced on Shearon's sacrifice. Dooley fouled to Massey. Shannon ran out of line on RIchter's force hit and after the ball was thrown to Bonner to catch Rlch ter, Bonner threw the ball to first, but Massey was not there to receive It and Lynch scored. ROCHESTER MADE IT SURE. With two out In the seventh, singles by Shannon and Lynch and a walk to Shearon filled thesacks. Dooley cleaned the circuit by hitting to left center for two bases. In the ninth a walk to Yerrlck, a hlt-by-pltcher on Shannon, Lynch's sacrifice, Shearon's single and Dooley's triple over Eagan's head scored four runs and made the tally 9 to 1. The Miners could nevpr connect with Yerrlck for more than one hit in one inning and for only five hits at that. Three good chances to score were lost by Beard's nan. off first, Massey run ning on a fly to Rlchter with only one out and a doubling of Walters and O'Brien on the latter's liner to Mul vey. There wore a number of golden op portunities for scoring missed by tho Miners before Wellner weakened and while he was holding the Brownies down to two scattered hits up to the seventh inning. In the second Eagan reached first on Shannon's fumble hut was flagged in an attempt to steal second with none out. Bonner walked. Massey singled nnd each advanced a base on Magulre's life but the side retlrrd on Boyd's fly to Rlchter. O'BRIEN SINGLED. With one out in the third O'Brien singled tnt was forced at second by Walters and Beard flew out to Henry. In the fifth, with one out, Boyd hit to 1,qft-center for three liases. Shan non's...asslst made Wellner tho second out. O'llrlen lilt a grounder which Dooley missed and Boyd came in with tna pnly, Scranton run of the gamo and an unearned run at that. Walters was assisted out at first. ISeflrd opened the sixth with a sin gle. Hasan went out on a bunted foul to '.Mulvey and Beard was caught nap ping oft the base before Bonner struck out. Massey led off with a single in tho seventh hut mad?, the mistake of run ning on Magulre'B fly to Rlchter, the latter getting tho hall back to Dooley In time for a double play. Boyd flew wit: to Shrnron. In the eighth with' one out O'Brien got to first on Shannon's fumble and pqor throw. Walters lilt a liner to Mujvey and a double play was made on O'Brien at first.

Franchise Has Been Transferred to Montreal, CanadaFire Destroys Rochester Grandstand. Montreal, July 16. Manager W. H. Rowe has secured the franchise of the Rochester base ball club of the East ern league for Montreal. There Is said to be plenty of money behind the Mon treal club and tho team will be mater ially strengthened. The team will open here on July 23 with Wilkes-Barre, playing thirteen home games. Rochester, N. Y July 1C Fire today destroyed the grand stand and other buildings on the Rochester base ball grounds. Loss, $9,000. It is probable that this will end base ball in Roches ter for the season and that no more Eastern league game3 will be played by the Rochester base ball club. Manager Weidman, of the Rochester club, which Is now playing in this city, was last nisht asked for Information concerning the Rochester fire and the proposed transfer of the club to Mon treal. He had heard nothing of the transfer and had learned of the tiro only through the evening papers. Several days ago P. T. Powers, presi dent of the league, wrote the league's directors in several cities asking their consent to a proposed sale of tho Roch ester franchise. Scrnnton's consent was given and it is presumed from the reported transfer that a majority of the directors approved of the deal. That is all that is known of the matter here. For feeveral weeks It had been rumored that Montreal parties wanted to buy the Wilkes-Barre or Rochester franchise, but from both these citiss it was given out that there would be no transfer. Toronto will now bo paired wit:i Mon treal and Bulftlo with Syracuse. DIAA10ND DUST. It Is "Montreal" today. Two games will bo played this after noon. Morso and Becker will bo the op posing pUcheis in tho first game and Harper and Gannon In the second. Tho first game will begin at 2.15 o'clock.

Boston has two. Bllleagan has not yet received his bill for tho Springfield fence. By use of ono base ball Bill Is alleged to have totally demolished 300 yards of fence In seven minutes, smashing 800 boards Into small splinters. Bill has offers from several Adirondack sawmills to turn tho forest Into kindling wood Syracuse Standard. Eastern league papers continue to in cludo Scranton In their references to clubs with farmed players. Who Is or who are tho farmed players on tho Scranton team?

Ing and fielding aro marvellous, and until our players Improve In thoso branches of the sport they cannot hope to compete with Americans," said Manager Mus grove, of tho Australian team, as It shook tho duet of tho United States from Its heels Friday and started for England on its tour of tho world. It Is generally conceded that this will bo the worst base ball year financially slnco the beginning of the twelvo-club circuit In 1892. Of course, thero will be exceptions, Boston promises to make mora money than it has made for years. Cincinnati is bound to do well. New York will make more money thnn It has for many yoars.

In tho Henley regatta today the famous dia mond sculls was rowed, and for the first time In tho history of thla great race, it was won by an American. E. II. Ten Eyck, of the Wachusett Boat club, of Worcester, Mass., defeated II. T. Blackstaffe, of the Vesta Rowing club, of London, in eight minutes and thirty-fivo seconds, Ten Eyck's victory means that the diamond sculls will 'be rowed in America next year. In the semi-finals Dr. W. S. Mc Dowell, of Chicago, was defeated by Blackstaffe; while Ten Eyck won his heat with B. H. Howell, Trinity col lege, Cambridge, also nn American. AVhen Ten Eyck and Blackstaffe got away on the final heat Ten Eyck was slightly In advance of Blackstaffe, and ho was never headed. He won easily by two lengths. When Blackstaffe finished, Ten Eyck rowed up to him and shook him by the hand. While there was some np rlause, tho victory was, on the whole, highly unpopular, the more violent sec tion asserting that it is only an old ttlck of professionals coming over as amateurs.

Thursday morning at 7 o'clock Patrolman Haggerty picked up a man on Linden street who was acting In a very disorderly manner and put him In the central station house. He was so drunk that he was not fit for a hearing until evening. When he was arraigned he stated that his name was Prank A. Stanley, his residence Pittsburg, and that he was a physician and surgeon by profession. A $3 fine was promptly paid and he walked forth a very meek and crestfallen man. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Ser geant Delter, Detective Dyer and Patrolman Goerlltz brought in a very boisterous prlsoner.who had been found at the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western station insulting people and raising a general disturbance. Tho night officers recognized in him at onco the Pittsburg doctor who had been dis charged the previous evening. He was very much the worse for drink and last night was being given liberal doses of "Jag cure" to prevent threatened de lirium tremens. a BOTTLE WITH A SAD STORY. Found by I'ishcrmun It. C.
