SCltANToN AT WlLKUS-UAItnK. l'llOVILMCNCK AT SPRINGFIELD. .Made it three straight. . Scranton Won From the Barons by a Dashing Finish Features of y the Contest. Scranton made It throe- straight from Wllkes-IJane by winning out yester day's game In the ninth inning by a Garrison llnlsh. With the exception of nbout one hundred ladles who took advantnge of free admission offered on indies' day, the attendance was about the same number as on the two previous days. Wllhes-Uarre failed to score In their flrtt innlns, and also in their second although they secured two of their live lilts in this inning. The prospects of run getting for the visitors was not very favorable until the seventh, when lietts made it possible, by a strong two-base drive to right Held. Massey tried to throw Hefts out at third, but made it so high that Magulre could rot reach It with a ten-foot pole. The little German slid Into third, but soon recovered himself and crossed the liome plate. That enddd their scoring and this error prevented them from the humil iation of a shut out. Again they se cured more hits than Scranton, but failed to bunch them. The feature of the game on thu part of the Wllkes Barre team was the hustling after leng, high fouls by Goeckel and the batting and ileldlng by 13etts. "WORK OP THE MIXERS. Scranton began to lilt the ball in the third inning. "With one maii'out Magulre made a long three-base hit to center. Johnson, who followed him nt the bat, reached first on four balls, and then Walters took a look at Keen nn's curves and picked out one which ho drove into the same territory as Magulre. Two hits with a total of four netted one run, and an earned one, too. The score was now tie and remained so until the ninth, when the Scranton boys gave an exhibition of what they can do when necessnry, and when cheered en by the lusty voices of the faithful rooters on the bleachers. Carry was the first man up and hit a short fly to center, midway between Shannon and IJetts, the latter tried for It but over ran it after making a desperate reach for it, Barry was giv ing all this time an exhibition of hit the ball and run that would mako the Baltimore's, envious. He stopped at second long enough to allow Atherton to make a wild throw of Bonner's grounder and then sprinted home, but Massdy's single would have earned the lun. NO ONE OUT. The game was won, and still no one out. Score: SCRANTON. A.B. R.

"BOBBY" DOBBS WAS THE WINNER Defeated Hughy McWInters at Music Hall Last Night. WAS A BRG0ZV 20-ROUND AFFAIR. aioWlntcr Did .Most of tho Knrlv Work nnil Hnd tho Audience with Him but Dobbs' Knouicdgo ot tho (imno .Undo Him tho Winncr--Knno, of .Minookn, Gets n Decision Over Gibbons, of l'lttston, in Six Hounds, In what was probably tho best box ing bout for a decision ever witnessed in this city, "Bobby" Dobbs, tho col ored boxer, of Minneapolis, and tho lightweight champion of the west, last night defeated Hugh McWInters, ot New York city, also a colored boxer, In twenty rounds before an American Sporting club audience In Music hall. They weighed In at 135 pounds. Nearly 400 spectators were present and they saw the club management keep Its promise to give tho very best kind of entertainment In the llstlc line. McWInters did most of tho early fighting, but his superior strength and splendid condition were outclassed by Dobbs' experience and knowledge of every trick nnd ruse known to the pugilistic trade. Dobbs' famous right was scarcely used nnd never with great effect until the eighteenth round, when he landed it full and clean on McWInters' lower Jaw. That was tho beginning of the end. During the remainder of the round and through tho nineteenth and twentieth McWInters by repeated clinching only saved himself from be ing put out. When the twentieth closed he was as near to sleepy-land as a man could possibly be and still be able to finish. CLAIMED A FOUL. " A foul was unjustly claimed by those In McWInters' corner In the eighteenth round. Following Dobbs' effective right cross on the Jaw he rushed a straight left Into McWInters' chin and sent him to his knees In tho latter's corner. McWInters quickly regained his feet and stood bending with one glove on his knee and the other stretched toward the floor. He was In this position when Dobbs administered an upper-cut. Cries of "foul" fllled the hall and Mc WInters' handlers chimed in, but Ref eree Pat Murphy very properly Ignored the claim as no part of McWInters' person touched the floor, his belt ex cepted. In Dobbs' corner were his trainer, Ed, Bowman, of New York city, and "Kid" Brown. McWInters was at tended by his backer, Matthew Ken nedy, of New York city, who looks out of place in a ring; Harry Kyle, a New York colored lightweight of promise, and"Bllly" Gibbons, of De troit. Eddie Coleman and Domlnlck Gibbons, both of this city, were time keepers. McWInters was a splendid example ot the athlete and showed a remark able hitting power up to the time he felt the right, which, In the eighteenth was the beginning of his quietus. At the start he was the aggressor and probably on account of his lesser re pute, earned the sympathy ot the au dience. It was not their fault that Dobbs won. DOBBS' GAME. Dobbs was content to take an oc casional dose In the ribs or high on his head from both left and right In order to escape by clinches or bnck stepplng scores of McWInters' blows directed toward a vuluerable point. It was this plan of battle, up to the eleventh round, which kept Dobbs fresh while his opponent was wasting steam, although McWInters" work did not fag him to the extent expected, In the twelfth round Dobbs began to work, and finished the round with several lefts on the face. He later continued his rushing, and in the con stant clinches revealed his knowledge of how to worry and weaken his op ponent. Time 'and again he was cau tioned by Referee Murphy about his elbow, head and knee. There was not u mark on either man .until the sev enteenth, when a slight trickling of blood started from McWInters' nose. The flow quickly stopped, however, and when the bout ended neither con testant bore any evidences of the bat tle. McWInters occupied more than half the alloted time to rlsi after feeling Dobbs' right in the eighteenth. Clinches paved him from going out. He con tinued to clinch during the nineteenth rnd ducked himself out of the path of reveral swings that might have ended tho tout. In the twentieth round Mc WInters was sent to his knees four times, but always on ln-flghtlng nnd within reach of Dobbs' legs. When the last gong sounded the New Yorker was all but out. KANE VS. GIBBONS. Tho preliminary C-round event be tween Pat Gibbons, of Plttston, and Mike Kane, of Minooka, 135-pound men, was Justly decided in favor of the latter. He did not, however, ap pear to be as clever as reports had in dicated, though he Is a strong, well built young fellow, and with proper handling may develope Into a good one. In place of the "battle royal," which failed to materialize, owing to the weakening of the live candidates, a brief bout for purely amusement pur poses was put on between Harry Courtrlght and a colored fellow, who had expected to win the "royal," but who wbs glad to use Courtrlght as a substitute for the other pleasure. LOCAL BICYCLE CHAT. Some one of tho local racing men wroto Chairman Mott. of tho Leaguo of Amer lena Wheelmen racing board, question ing tho amateur status of Robert V. White, tho local racing crack. As Is tho usual result of such enses "Boby" re ceived ono of Mr. Mott's "love letters," suspending him, pending Investigation, nnd Incidentally Inclosing somo thous and and one questions to bo answered by tin falr-halred boy, Tho offalr doesn't worry White at all, Inasmuch ns he can prove his amateur standing, Tho com plaint was evidently made by somo Jeal ous competitor, If the local racing men would do less "knocking" nt ono another, It would bo better for nil concerned. The general gamo of "roast" now being played by many of them Is not only discreditable to themselves, but to tho sport as well. Less talk and moro speed would become them better. Charles Coleman, tho star member of tho Electrlo City Wheelmen's racing team. Is taking a week's rest. "Chick" has been doing much hard work of lato, nnd thinks a lay-off will greatly benefit him. Ben Keller, of the Green llldge Wheel- Idge men's team, has gone out of training. Ho hasn't been right slnco tho Ber wick races, July 3. He will leave to morrow for a two-wcoks vacation along tho Now England coast, and may again go In training early in September. From tho .present outlook no race meet will be held hero this season. A blcyclo girl who rides with low-drop bars, n high gear, and too clips, Is at ttactlng much attention about town. She Is a sprinter of no moan ability, iml has run away from several male riders who speed on North Washington ao nuc. Tho Electric City Wheelmen havo made remarkable progress slnco their organization, a few months ago. They occupy a handsomely furnished club houso on Jackson street, and arc repre sented on the track by nn unusually fast racing team, consisting of Colsman, Dunn, Dawklns, Strong, Hall and Os wald, Thu police officer nt tho cornei of Sfruce Btrcot nnd Washington avenue i.as nis nanus run, keeping cyclists down to slow paco at that point. Past riding through busy thoroughfares Is merely a habit, and a dangerous one, too. The sooner It is stopped tho better. Much Interest Is being centered In the thirty-three mil's match raco between Michael nnd Starbuck, to bo run at Man hattan Beach tomorrow. Each contest ant will have thirty-two pacers, mount ed on tandems, triplets, quads and sex tette nt his disposal. Tho porso Is J1.C0O, tho winner to tako nil. If the weather Is favorable it is believed that tho entire distance will bo covered In one hour, thereby making a new Aracr' lean record. RECORDS LOWERED. A I'ino Trotting Exhibition nt Bond ing Ycstcrdny. Reading, Pa., Aug. 19. Records Were lowered at the second day's races of the Reading driving club on the three mile house tracks.
