40WN GO THE BARONS.
They Were Never in a Way ol Making
"i More Riins Than the
, Miners.
.league Umpire Mason was too 111
"vWeidny to call' balls and strikes and
af absent fr6m the Athletic park,
wJlere Catchers Digging, of the Wilkes
Iarreans, took ctfre of the base runners
and Jtoyd, of the Miners, called balls
and strikes.
Wllkes-Harre . substituted Shortstop
Prow so from the New Ensland league,
for McMnhon and placed Gondlng be
hind the bat. Although Piowsp had
two errors, his stylo of coming- in to
hieet slow grounders and getting after
v.ldo ones was satisfactory and there
is reason to believe that McMahon will
liave to do some hustling to keep olt
tho b.nch. Gondlng caught a very fair
name.
The attendance was not as large as
it should be when tho visiting team Is
from down the vnlley and in view of
their falling prey to the Miners in Tues
day's gnme.
The fentuio of the game was the bat
ting of Manager "Sandy" who swatted
the ball up to the limit, one thousand
per cent., securing four hits and a base
on balls in ilve times. up. Walters had
Ills batting eye open, too, making three
very safe singles in live times at bat.
The visitors were first at bat again.
Ilottenus hit an easy grounder to Ma
gulre who cut tho runner's splinting
short at first base. Shannon made a
dean single to center and had a good
start for second when Meany sent the
ball bounding down to Bonner, who
tos.sed it t,o Hrry and the latter
thr.'W It to Maspy, executing a very
.shnrp double piny and, ivtlrcd the
tilde.
Harry reached first on an oiror and
with the aid of Massey'a strong diivo
to center made third base and a mo
ment Inter crossed the plate, -while
Illg Hill wns .tcallng second. Mns
rey was making great headway
mound the diamond, )ut started for
homo prematurely when Eagan hit to
Prowse who fumbled the ball long
enough to permit Peter to touch first
base, but Goeckel threw Massey out
nt the home plate.
The visitors did not score until tho
fourth Inning. The Miners, however,
continued their commendable work,
and added two In the second and two
more In the third. With this safe
lead they played rather listlessly until
the eighth when they added threo
runs, making a total of nine.
The Barom. secured three 1)1 in
the seventh inning, 'but they netted
only one run. They continued to hit
the ball however during the eighth
nnd the last .evening and scored once
in each. The Barons had one more
hit to, their credit than did tho Miners
cut Morse gave no bases"6n balls nnd
Kept the'hlttlng scutteied.

ington Star. "Nick Young may havo his
troubles with tho umpires, but wo'vo got
some dopo dreams and nightmares on
tho staff of indicator handlers In tho At

season at umpiring In this league would
niako a star 100-yard sprlntor out of poor
Charley Bennett, who lost his legs, or
old Jack Mllllgan, who never stolo a basa
In his life. I have seen moro sprint ovents

in Newark, N. J., we played to a crowd
largo enough to put Into a four-wheel

room on tho side. Tho weather was
threatening and tho -grounds wet, but tho
manager of tho Newark team wns stuck
on getting tho game in. Ho thought ho
had r. good thing In tho Rlchmonds. I
forget who tho umplro was. but as Orator
O'Rourko would say, ho had tho courago
of his ccnvlctlons and his heart was en
sconced In Its normal altitude. How's
that for an Imitation of tho orator. But,
ns I was saying, tho umpire was game
to tho finish. Newark wanted two runs
to win in tho ninth, with three, on tho
bosw), two out. nnd O'llagan, ono of the
heaviest hitters, at the bat. Tho umplro
called O'llagan out on strikes. Then tho
crowd split ur. One-half went through
tho gates and tho other half mado a break
to go through the umpire. I don't know
who umpired that day. Ho weighed about
300 and wasn't built for a sprinter, but
I'll bet ho smashed Wefers' record nt 100

Kid McCoy visited the Rogue's Gal

nati recently. Sergeant Kiffmeyer, who
Is an authority on tho Bertillon sys

measurements on. record. When the
Kid stripped for work Sergeant Kiff
meyer whistled and said tliat he was
surprised. He took accurate measure
ments of the Kid, and then reduced
them to Inches.
They wero then compared with Cor
tett's, Fltzslmmons's and Sharkey's.
McCoy's reach is one and a quarter
inches longer than Fitz's. His trunk
measurement Is very nearly one-third
of an Inch larger than Fltz's, but ono

The Excelsior Athletlo club boxing
exhibition was attended by about a
hundred spectators. The club intend
ed to put on two preliminary "bouts, the
first of which was to be between James
McQouldrick, of this city, and Billy
Gibbons, of Philadelphia, but tho lat
ter refused to meet McQouldrick, and
tho only curtain-raiser of the affair Was
a three-round set-to between captain
P. J. Durkln and John Boland, of tho
Excelsior club. Tho exhibition was
lively and creditable, although Durkln
was much the heavier man.
The star feature of tho show was an
nounced by President Joo McNally as
a 20-round sparring exhibition between
Ellwood McCluskcy, of Philadelphia,
and Michael McManus, of Albany, N.
Y. Tho timekeepers selected wero Ed
ward Coleman and Joe Drlcsen, of this
city.
When tho selection of a referee was
mentioned the manager of MViManus
wanted Joo Bernstein, of New York,
who recently won a decision off Fred
Wright, of Fcabody, Mass., but Joo
Wllllscheck, pf Philadelphia, McClus
koy's trainer, objected on tho ground
that he was treated unfairly by New
York and Brooklyn sports in previous
exhibitions. The name of AL Rose, tho
hatter, was suggested, but he was also
ohjected to. Finally both parties
agreed upon James McGouldrlck as
referee.
CONDITION OF MEN.
McManus entered the ring at 1S5
pounds nnd was eight pounds over
weight, while McCluskcy weighed In at
the limit, 128 pounds. Owing to the
former being over-weight, ho agreed to
forfeit everything and tho only guar
antee h'o was to receive was $25 in case
he put McCluskey out, while McClus
key was to receive $& If tho match was
a. draw, $75 If he was defeated, or $83
In the event of his receiving the deci
sion. In McManus' corner were Tony Gor
don, of this city, and Billy Gibbons, of
Philadelphia, and Joo Wllllscheck, of
Philadelphia, and Patrick Hopkins, of
this city, wero in McCluskey's corner.
The foimor chose the corner at the
southeast end of tho stage, and Mc
CluM;f's contented himself in the
northeust corner. Joe Bernstein, was
accepted as advisor.
Time was called nt 10:02 o'clock.
Both men sparred cautiously for an
opening, and after several light ex-
changes McCluskey landed a heavy
left-hand body blow on McManus and
followed it up with a right Jolt on the
Jaw, staggering his opponent and
knocking him against the ropes. He
sank to the floor and Referee McQoul
drick counted ten seconds and Mc
Manus was still down. His handlers
rushed Into the ring, and were about
to assist him to his feet when he arose
and stuggered to his corner. The re
feree gave his decision, awarding the
fight to McCluskey, but tho latter
vaived the referee's decision and
agreed to continue tho fight iipon the
requests of McManus' friends-.
McCluskey anxious.
Several minutes elapsed before the
contestants came together for the sec
ond round. When they -advanced to
the centre of tho .ring, McCluskey ap
peared anxious to put his opponent
out in short order. This ho did. With
several terrific swings ho landed on
McManus and forcsd him to tho ropes,
and when the latter stumbled back
Into the ring he was a beaten man.
Ho fell to tho lloor and was counted'
out. The fight lasted about ten min
utes. Several well known sporting
men in tho audience who aro familiar
with tho boxing fraternity stated that
the contestant who was supposed to
have bten McManus was not Mc
Manus, but Joe Mack, of Clnclnatl,
who camo hero in place of McManus.
After the fight friends of McCluskey
wanted to arrange a match with Joe
Bernstein, but as the latter is under
contract with Manager Jack Skelly to
fight Hugh Fitzsimmons In Brooklyn,
N. Y on the 30th of August, a match
was out of tho question. McCluskey's
friends wanted him to fight Bernstein
In private tonight for $200 a side, and
they assembled at tho St. Charles ho
tel to make arrangements. When the
question of weight, money, clubs, etc.,
were mentioned, the parties could not
agree upon anything definite, and tho
patty was dispersed without making a
match.
MACK USED UP.
McCluskey was not punished in the
least by his opponent, while Mack re
ceived a blow which blackened his left
eye and another that cut him on tho
bridge of his nose. This bled consid
