SPniNGKJBMJ AT AVlhKUS-BAUR. CAN WIN HERE ALL RIGHT Scraiilon Did the Trick on the Home Grounds with Neatness and Dispatch. As an adjunct to dressing room lec ture's. Manager Sandy Orlllln might do well to ring In a directorate meeting now and nnon. They nre certainly helpful. After a disastrous two weeks' trlpT unmnrriid by a single victory, the Scranton team returned home yester day morning and In the afternoon, with their nerves at a Damocletlan tension, played the Providence Grays to n standstill. Their lleldlng was nothing to brag of, and the batting was about what should be expected of them, which is saying much for the batting. In base running, however, they showed the effects of the directors' meeting, their evident desire to maKo runs even at the expense of a little exertion being a sort of revelation. There was a dash and a to-the-deuce-wlth-recards gait about the play, too, that bespoke the club having awakened to the fact that they are being paid to play the best ball they know how. Harper's work was enough to win the game In Itself, but oven though he had pitched only an ordlnnry game the team would have won. Hut be that as It may, ho pitched great ball and if there was any assurance that he would continue to do anywhere near as well It would' be a loss to part with him. Heard, who was released last night, put up his best game of the season, -He covered all the territory staked out for him, helped Maguire In two Instances to cover the region to the right of him and assisted In the run-getting very materially, among other things beating out a bunt and stealing a base with a heady start and greafc slide. Mnssey, nnothet over whom the blade hangs, shows n very commendable desire to do something for his country, lleldlng his position with snap and vim nnd letting himself out a little on the bases. Kagan didn't get n chance to do any lleldlng, but he batted like a man that was getting sleep enough to keep his eye in condi tion. Maguire didn't make tho sem blance of an error or do anything else that was remarkable, leaving aside his creat thro.ws. Not a little of the ginger of tho game was due to the coaching of our long lostTqtnmy Johnson, who. In response to calls "from the bleachers, came out on the line and did his little turn with all Jils old-tlma voice and energy. Providence was sent first to bat. Lyons got to first on O'Hrlcn's mis Judgment, and the muff which ensued In consequence but two (lies to "Wal ters made three out. With two out Heard started the fire works for Scranton, driving one down tho left flqld line. Homier helped him to thlrtMvlth a hard hit grounder over second,, nnd Massey drove him In with a singUv .Eagan sent a single to left und'Massey, took a chance on reaching third. Knight throw wild to catch hlnv nnd-'-he, scored. Boyd's easy out Rtopf'd, what prom.ised to be a sorry JnnJnjj.-fQr lir'aun. In tho second, Scranton got another on Jlarjier's. cqrklng single to right, Wajf,ii,' weo one that did not travel ovei-elght feet altogether and O'Brien's Iong. drive to center. "Walters was caujibt at third on an attempted doublff-'steal, but it was a good at tempt; and the fans wero satisfied. In tho third Egan hit one to Bassett that dt 'was simply Impossible for hltn to hold. He was helped to third by Boyd s -single and his own good run ning. Magulro fulfilled fondest expect ations by. going out on a weak InOeld hlt.-r.i Harper opened up the fourth for Scranton with a bat-smasher over sec-ond,-..Hnd. -receiving no assistance died t first. Providence all this tlmo had been do ing. absolutely nothing. In the fourth Drauby made what would bo under ordinary circumstances a safe lilt, but Magulr's one-handed stop and Beard's lightning' nlclc-up and throw ended In an .out. It was a very pretty and creditable play, The only score mado ly the.'Qrays came to them In the fifth. 0'Hffjn; muffed Cooney's lly and "Wal tars made hla first muff of tho Beason on Bajssett'a hard, low drive. It should bo sad, -hfrwever, that it would havo 'beenra-ntar'out had he held It. Cooney eamo in from third on Coogan's out froirt.

Harper made the third out by fooling Welgard tltrco. (lines. In tho scverith Providence again threatoiftd'to. make some runs, and would havo dono bo but for a piece of unusunl good luck. Drauby's single to leftunnd Bonner's mqff and bad throw of linssett's hard drive put the former on third ard the latter on sec ond. Two were out. Hraun drove a stinger along the third base line. In stead of trying to get It, Magulro held up his hand to Indicate foul. The ball made a boldfaced prevari cator out of Mas til re. for It plumped straight Into the bag, took a straight up bound and landed square in Mo gulre's uplifted distress signal. As soon as lie felt the ball In Ills paw ha Closed: bit .It JUnd with one of his wonderful catnpault shoots landed the ball at first three feet In advance of the runner. Scrnnton scored two In the seventh. Coogan's mUlf of O'Brien's high lly, and Hoard's safe bunt and nice steal, Uonner's out to deep right and Eagan's single to rlcht scored. SCItANTON. A.H. It. II.

Has Been Signed. Ollle Beard, shortstop and captain of tho Scranton club, was released last night. He was released on notice from Mannger Grlflin from Buffalo that he had signed Barry and that tho latter would play In th'ls afternoon's game. Beard is the first to feel the effect of the owners' purpose to release the high-salaried men. Ills pay was $250 per month, the $30 above tho league salary limit "being for his services ns captnln. His record for the season Is n3 follows: 77 games, 33G times at bat, 54 runs, 110 hits, 1G3 outs, 29) assists, 30 errors; batting average, 327; fielding average, .938, probably the best general avenge of any shortstop In the league. Manager Orlffln failed In his attempt to sign Fields. DIAMOND DUST. Tho threatened shake-up had tho de sired effect. The newspapers have been accused of being too lenient with tho Miners. John L. Sullivan will umpire tho game with Springfield hero on Tuesday. The Miners have now won seven out of twelve games played with Providence. The Baltlmores and u picked team of tho leagua players expect to go to Call, fornla next winter. Ed Dolehanty says It Is tho actual truth that the Philadelphia team has mado only three double plays on ground balls during tho entire season. Umpire Tom Lynch was presented with a diamond stud valued at "$200 and a handsomely bound testimonial by his fel low townsmen of New Britain, Conn, Manager Selec, of tho Bostons, Is said to bo after Pitcher Kennedy, of the Brooklyns. It Is reported that he stands ready to give $10,000 for Kennedy's re lease. That was timely hitting In yesterday's Buffalo-Syracuso grme. All of tho eight runs wero earned. Tho Stars made four orrors and not 0110 was at all costly, Syracuse and Buffalo have each won eleven games firm Montreal. That Is the record of games won by one club from another. Tho nearest approach to It Is Toronto's ten victories from Scranton. Norfolk, Vn., Aug. 6. Pitcher Newton has been fold to Manager Hanlon, of tho Baltlmores for $700. Newton will remain with Norfolk until tho closo of the pres ent sear.on. The deal was made throush I President Barrows, of tho Atlantic league. Patsy Tebeau was asked to buy tlcke'.s for a benefit for McQunnlgle. Ho wrote bask this brlof but pointed messago: "Tho Clovclands used nil their money paying fines In Loulsvlllo whllo ho was manager." It Is high tlmo that Tim Hurst should awaken to tho fact that tho .base ball field Is not a prize ring. Hurst stems to think when ho Is umpiring a gamo of base ball that ho Is In tho midst of a hot, ten-round contest. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. The Buffalo Express was generally cor rect yesterday In its story of the Fields Barry and Masscy-Boyd deal, but accord lng to tho Information given the Scranton owners by Manager Qiiflin the proposi tion was first made by President Frank lin and not by Griffin, ns tho Express In timated.

It is such gibes rs these that havo taken tho nervo nnd talent out of many a promising young player, and, by tho way, where has Jimmy landed him self? Exchange. MAY END HURST'S CAREER. National League Magnates May Bring Up Old Troubles. Cincinnati, Aug. G. John Cartuyvel les, the fireman who wag struck on the head with a beer glass Wednesday by Umpire Tim Hurst during a gamo between Cincinnati and Pittsburg, Is reported to bo In n critical condition. A charge of assault has been made against Hurst, nnd ho was released here on a bond of $300. He was re arrested In St. Louis Thursday and charged with assault with intent to kill. New York, Aug. 6. Whatever provo cation he may have had, there Is no doubt that Umpire Hurst's outbreak, at Cincinnati Wednesday will termln-' ate his career n n National league umpire. President Young may not re move him, but his reappointment next season Is quite out of the question. As a matter of fact, it is said that Hurst's fate In this respect was set tled some time ago. ' It will be remembered that In 1895 President Young sprang a sensation by falling to renppolnt Tim on his staff of umpires. Hurst hap always been a great favorite with Mr. Young, and It developed that a majority of the clubs had entered a vigorous protest ngalnst the little fellow. At that tlmo It was said that Hurst's language and actions toward the players were behind the protest, as well as his prize ring connections. Since then Hurst has. had a great deal of trouble with ball players. Tim Is an aggressive, square-Jawed fire brand, with absolutely no control over his temper. He knows nothing of poli cy or dignity. Absolutely fearless as far as personal courage Is concerned, he lights the roughs of the bnll field with their own ammunition. As a re sult of this system tho newspapers have teemed from time to time with accounts of personal altercations be tween the umpire nnd pugnacious players and Hurst has gained quite an unenviable reputation. RACES REPLETE WITH SURPRISES John It. Gentry nnd Joo l'ntchen Aro Vnnquishcd---Son of Pntchcn Wilkes Equals tho World's Grand Circuit Record. Columbus, O., Aug. G. Today was replete with surprises at the Columbus driving park. The greatest surprise was the free-for-all pace. There were four starters, Joe Patchen, Star Point er, Lottie Lorraln nnd Badge, and last night Star Pointer sold In the pools at $100 to $20 against tho field. It was tho judgment of nearly every horseman that Pointer would win In a walk. But Pointer did not win. The much lauded conqueror of John B. Gentry nnd Joe Patchen was vanquished by tho great son of Patchen Wilkes In one of the most exciting races ever witness ed. Patchen not only won the race on it merits, but paced the fastest mile ever made In the grand circuit, equal ling tho world's record of 2:0P, made by John R. Gentry at Glenns Falls. Had It not been for a Btrong breeze that blew across tho track, a new world's record would undoubtedly have been established, as otherwise the con ditions were perfect.

Among the amateurs, honors were more evenly divided, with the best racing done by Peabody, Johnson, Mld dtmdorf, Schade, Krlck and Miller. PERFECT DAY IN RACING. The day was perfect for racing, the nun not up long before hundreds of cyclists were pedalling along the his toric and picturesque York roads to wards Willow Grove, and even greater numbers were taxing the railroad trains and trolley cars to their utmost. Notwithstanding many of the vistllng wheelmen did not get away from last night's smoker at the national head quarters until nearly daylight, most of them were astir early. The heat from the sun was tempered by a cool northweserly breeze and there was an almost total absence of humidity. There were early morning runs to League Island navy yard, at the lower end of Broad street, across Rope ferry bridge to Paschallvllle, returning by way of Woodland avenue, West Phil adelphia, to Broad street, where the columns merged into the army of wheelmen who had gone through I'alrmount park and the Wlssahlckon drive, nnd the big scheduled run to the track began. When the head of tho lino reached Old York road, four miles from headquarters, there were many who had not mounted their wheels. All the track was bustle among the racing men. "Johnny,, Johnson, who was hurt on Wednesday but unable to rldo today will probably make an effort to start tomorrow. The other men were being rubbed down or were taking preliminary spins on the track. This was specially constructed for the meet. It Is of wood, entirely surrounded by seats with a capacity of 25,000. TRIALS BEGIN. The trials began promptly at 0 o'clock, with several thousand specta tors. At 12.40 there was recess for lunch. Meanwhile, the seats were rap Idly filling and long before tho hour for resuming, it was evident that the crowtt would be enormous. At 3 o'clock the track was cleared and rac ing began again, continuing until G o'clock, without the slightest hitch. During the entire day there were but two or three spills and nobody was hurt by these. Tonight Willow Grove park was given over to the wheelmen and the visitors saw exhibitions of trick nnd fancy riding, a display of fireworks, and a general good time. Tomorrow promises to be tho ban ner day and the seating capacity of the track will bo taxed to the utmost. The races will begin at 9 o'clock under the same officials, with the exception that ex-chalrman of the Racing Board Gideon will be relieved by Albert Mott, of Baltimore, the present chairman, as referee.
