MINERS AT PITTST0N.
They Had n Little Exercise Off the
Amateur Keystones.
The Miners had an open-date yester
day and played the Keystones, nn am
ateur club, at Pittston. Soven innings
were played at the Driving park, and
at tho wind-up tho tally was 23 to 7
In favor of the professional team.
About 400 spectators were present.
The grounds bore a greater resem
blance to a cow pasture than a ball
field, and tho game developed Into a
contest of lilt-nn-run, with good work
by either team out of the question.
Jack Fallon, of this city, who was
signed by Scranton as an amateur early
In the senson and then released, pitched
for the Keystones, and was found for
28 hits. Out of this number Barry,
Grlflln and Massey had five each, 11a
gulre and Harper four ench.
Johnson pitched for the Miners as the
opportunity was considered a good ono
to give him much-needed work.

ECHOES OF WILKES-BARRE MEET.
Tho Trlbuno Intended to present a most
full nnd completo report of tho big meet
from a stnff corrcspordent, who attend
ed for that purpose. His report was
properly forwarded, but for some unac
countable reason did not reach this city.
Tho report printed In yesterday's Issue
was from tho Assoclntcd Press, nnd nl
though a good one, was not so extena vo
a? had been Intended for Tho Tribuno's
readers.
CharlesColeman's work was of tho high,
est order, nnd fnr superior to tho other
Scranton riders. His sprints were as
steady nnd strong as tho best of thoni.
"Chic's" win in tho handicap was ono
of tho most popular of the day, as was
shown by tho rounds of applause ho re
ceived. Harry Strong's error In tho two-mllo
handicap ruined his chances for n ehara
In tho plunder for that event. Harry
beenmo mixed In his count, nnd broke
from tho bunch on tho stretch In the fin
ish, of tho third lap, thinking It tho last.
Ho sprinted In llko a raco horse, cross
ing tho tapo yards ohend of tho bunch,
thinking ho hnd won out. Ho was very
much chagrined upon discovering his er
ror. Rob White and Ben Keller wero evi
dently "way oft" In their riding. Thcro
wns a total absenco of that ' dash," which
has previously characterized their work.
Tho Electric City Wheelman's racing
team appeared for tho first time in their
new suits. Tho team consists of Cole
man, Dunn, Strong, Oswald and Hall.
Not a bad combination either. Keep your
cyo on 'em. Thcso comerr.
Major Taylor, tho colored professional,
who at present is winning as much as
tho best ones on tho National circuit.
Is according to Fred Iloyt, "tho fastest
man in tho country.'" This is tho major's
flrst season as a circuit chancr( and ho Is
Just a llttlo lame on head work.
Tho Scranton contingent was unusually
large. Scranton faces could be seen ev
erywhere. Probably tho most noted character on
tho track, excepting Frank Deltrick, ot
courso, was tho veteran trainer-manager,
Tom Eck. Mr. Eck is Indeed a hnndsomo
looking man with iron gray hair and
military mustache. He looks about 53
years of age, but ns a matter of fact Is
only 40 years old.
Fred Longhead Is Justly termed the
"most erratic rider in tho country." Ono
day ho brats them all, and tho next, as
was tho case nt Wilkes-Barre, ho seems
entirely out-ciassca.
Frod Deltrick, the popular member of
tho West End Wheelmen, who Is re
sponsible for tho good management of
that organization's raco meets, is gaining
a national reputation as a raco meet pro
moter. It must be ndmitted that "Deety"
handles things like a man who knows
how. Another thing that adds to
"Dcety's" success Is tho fact that "all
Wllkos-Barro is with him."
Wo noticed that Fred Titus Is back to
his old love, tho "Spalding." Whllo Fred
Is not riding In exactly winning form,
ho Is certainly riding well, when the fact
that ho did no riding last season, and Is
therefore a year behind, Is taken Into
consideration.
"Bobby" Whlto didn't win any prizes,
but ho says ho got his money's worth,
inasmuch as Tom Eck. Eddio Bald and
Earl Klzer posed for him, while ho
worked his camera on them.
Tho Green Rldgo Wheelmen rooters
wero thero In force. Their riders dldn 't
win a thing, which Is indeed unusual
but tho Green Ridge Wheelmen's crowd
nro good losers, and didn't seem un
usually sad.

Philadelphia, Aug. 13. Tho first day's
races In tho silver Jubilee regatta of
tho Nntlonal Association of Amateur
Oarsmen were rowed today over the
national courso on the Schuylkill riv
er In Falrmount park. Today's events
consisted of trials Intermediate singles,
senior four shells, Intermediate singles,
senior singles, International four
shells nnd tho final and only heat In
the Intermediate eighths. Of theso the
feature events wero the two senior
four heats and the final Intermediate
eight. The Ariel club, of Baltimore,
won the flrst of the former by a halt
length and tho Institute club, of New
ark, tho second senior four heat In a
magnificent dash.
In tho eights tho Worcester high
school athletic association took the lead
at tho crack of tho pistol maintaining
it throughout with the Montrose nnd
Falrmount clubs, both of Philadelphia,
following closely in the order named.
In the remaining events, tho Wau
chusett club and the Columbia Rowing
association, both of Massachusetts,
won the flrst two heats In tho inter
mediate singles and the Naragansett
club of Providence, the third heat.
The Pennsylvania barge club, West
End Boat club, of Boston, and the
Bradford club ot Cambridge, Mass.,
won respectively the three heats In the.
senior singles, whllo in the Interna
tional fours the Institute club of New
ark and the Argonaut of Toronto, each
won a heat.
CONDITIONS WERE PERFECT.
All tho events, with tho exception of
the International fours and the inter
mediate eight were of a mile and re
turn. Tho exceptions were 1 miles
straight away. The day was perfect
for sculling and the courso skirted on
either side by the picturesque river
drives of Falrmount park, was almost
without a ripple on its surface. There
was a light breeze.
laery precaution was taken to pollco
thef course and keep It clear of river
craft and In only one Instance was there
any Interference with the racing. This
was during the intermediate eight. Tho
New York Athletic club had the out
side water nnd had passed the 3-4 flag
in a close race for third place, when
a yawl boat shot across Its bow and
struck it hard slightly bruising Bogert's
arm. The crew stopped rowing and
claimed the action was deliberate on
the part of the man In the yawl. Tho
police Immediately placed him under
arrest. The Judges did not call the oth
er crows 'back and New York was un
able to finish.
Much comment was Indulged In over
Ten Eyck's decision not to compete in
the senior singles.
The flrst race, tho Intermediate sin
gles, wa3 called for 2.30 o'clock. By
that time tho river was crowded on
both sides and the Columbia brldgo
and bluffs on the east river drive wero
lined with spectators.
The greatest interest was centered in
th" three heats of the senior singles.
Juvenal, who won the first, pulled a 32
stroke throughout and finished an easy
winner. Whitehead was a winner from
fctart to flnlsh in tho second heat and
Magulre, rowinf. strong, took the third
heat by several lengths.

DYINQ OF PARESIS IN BALTIMORE
Said to Ilnvo Been tho First to Intro
duce tho Curved Unit Successfully.
Thou Boston Secured Him nt n Snl
nry of 83,000, n I'ubulous Price in
Thoso Dnys-.Retlrcd nt tho Closo
of the Brotherhood War.
Thero nro few of the present genera
tion of base ball patrons who do not re
member "Bobby" Matthews, tho old
time pitcher who I3 now dying of par
esis In a Baltimore hospital. In Pitts
burg, says tho News of that city, wo
recall him better In tho later years of
his diamond career when ho was with
tho Athletics, of tho new American
association.
With that team wero big Jack MUII
gan, Harry Btovcy, tho premier hitter
and baso runner, Lon Knight another
great hitter and outfielder, and Judd
BIrchal, the wonderful leftfieldor whom
we have seen leap tho low railing that
separated tho old Exposition ball
ground from the encircling horse track,
nnd take flies. Greatest among them,
however, so far as games went, was
"Bobby" Matthews. He had been
"resurrected," but was for some years
their great pitcher. The pitching dis
tance was considerably less In those
days, and tho speed consequently
greater with speedy pitchers than now.
HE WAS A TERROR.
In the days of the old association
Allegheny club, Matthews was a ter
ror. The great big fellows who made
up that club were able to hit the fast
pitchers, but wero absolutely helpless
before Matthews. He never was speedy
In comparison with the really swift
pitchers but relied upon his curves.
He was one of the Tim Keefe typo of
"heady" pitchers, and it was that
which kept him In base ball so long.
There was no desperate wearing out
of muscle. It was the killing habits
which Anally drove him from the field.
The pitching which made h'm a fa
mous ball player was done years be
fore, but even In his association days
ho was a formidable man In the box.
There are few things wnlch exasperate
a hard-hitter as do those slow, wide
curving balls which seem t - have no
landing place, and of those he was the
great master. Matthews was a man
who was said to have always "pitched
with Ills tUfad."
He was the greatest pitcher of his
day, and was really tho flrst man to
effectively Introduce tho curve ball into
tho national game. John Cummlngs
has been credited with discovering the
possibilities of a curved ball, but It
was Matthews who flrst made a suc
cess of It.
Matthews and Cummlngs put their
heads together and agreed that a curve
ball was a possibility. The former spent
several hours a day for weeks practic
ing the throwing of a ball upon curved
lines, and soon became proficient. The
flrst came that ho pitched was sensa
tional. The heavy-hlttlng batsmen who
had been rolling up home runs off thn
swift underhand pitching were impot
ent as Infants against Matthews' curve
pitching. A few scratch hits were
made and the Baltlmores won by an
overwhelming score. Other pitchers
took up the problem of curve pltchlrg,
but Matthews was alone In hl class.
The year after the discovery of the
curve ball the famous Boston team se
cured Matthews' services at a salaty
of S3.000 for the season. Tha: wns a
top-notch flcure In thoso days. Mat
thews later Joined the Providence
Orays, played with the Now York Mu
tuals, and was with the Philadelphia
Athletics when they won the pennant.
When the American association brokf
up Matthews became an umpire in
the Players' league, ani when tne
Brotherhood war ended It also saw the
retirement of the once great pitcher.
