MINERS COULDN'T CONNECT
Had Seven Chances to Win Yesterday's
Game, but were Unequal to
the Task.
The Miners' Inability to bat when nn
outlleld fly or a hit would have resulted
in a run. accounts for the Toronto
farmers' victory over Griffin's men yes
terday. Inning after Inning snw Glllon
bowl Irwin's agriculturists over like
ten-pins. In only four Innings were
they on 'ho circuit, but In three of
those Innings they scored one run per
inning nnd managed to get the tally
necessary to win.
A phenomenal play by Smith with
one out and following Massey's triple
In the eighth robbed the Miners of the
tielng run.
There was only one Inning In the
whole came In which tho Miners had
no chance to score. That was in the
second, when they were retired one-two-three.
In each of four Innings
after the first, a hit was made; In two
Innings there were bases on balls, and
in one Inning there was a hit and a
base on balls, but never could Griffin's
men rise to the emergency and profit
by tho chances offered them. In no
other game could the ability of the
Toronto team bo better shown. They
had four chances to score In as many
innings, and in three innings they tal
lied one run per lnnlrg.
NO FAULT OF GILLON'S.
At the salt Glllon was pitching, tho
Miners should have won In a canter.
Only four hits were made off him and
one was a Texas league scratch over
first, which netted two bases and
brought In tho winning run in tho
eighth Inning;
Mnnager Irwin had objected to the
work of Umpire "Pop" Smith and so
Boyd and Staley were selected to ad
judicate tho game. They did it re
markably well. There were only three
kicks and, strangely enough, one was
against Staley by his own team for de
claring Smith out nt first, and tho
other was against Boyd for calling
strikes on Walters.
Toronto began the run-getting in tho
opening half of the llrst inning, when,
with one out, White hit for two bases
and scored on Bonner's miss of Mc
Oann's grounder.
-In. the Scranton half Walters hit a
low one' over tlrst for two bases and
Sullivan wa-s hit by a pitched ball.
They were sacrificed a base each by
Honner and came home on Massey's
grounder uetween snort nnd third.
Up to the finish, after the second In
ning, the smnll crowd of cranks were
hopeful. In the third Inning, with ono
out, Sullivan singled, Bonner flew out,
and Massey walked, but Eagan flew
out to center. Griflln opened the fourth
with n double, but Gunson, Magulro
nnd Glllon went down in sequence.
With two out in the fifth, Bonner
walked and Massey Hew out to center.
In the sixth, with one out, Griflln
walked, but was (lagged la an attempt
to steal after Gunson had gone out to
White. Walters made a single and
steal In the eighth with two out, but
Sullivan was retired on an outfield fly.
THE STAR PLAY.
The greatest disappointment of tho
game and the best play developed in
tho last of the eighth after Toronto
had got a lead of ono and the Miners
wore straining every nerve to win out.
With one out Massey hit ono of his old
state leaguers to tho fence at left
center and made three bases on It.
Kagan smashed one at terrific speed
down the left line, Just Inside third
base. Smith stopped It with ono hand,
after a slide on his knees, and almost
succeeded In touching Massey out.
Smith then regained his feet and shot
the ball to first in tlmo to catch such
a speedy one as Eagan. It was clearly
one of the star plays of tho year in
Scranton nnd earned from the crowd
the applause It deserved. Griffin, the
next one up, hit a fly to Freeman.
A piece of hard luck fell to the Miners
In the ninth. With one out, Magulre
singled, but Glllon forced Magulre at
second and Taylor got the ball to Mo.
Gann In time to double Glllon and end
the game.
Toronto's second run was made in tho
soventh inning. Mcllale walked and
went to second and then to third on
two Infield outs and scored on a slnglo
by Wagner, who was forced at second.
In the eighth Norton fanned and
Cov reached second on a single and
CUorlii of
Btenl, White was assisted out at first
nndj Casey scored on McOnnn's
scratched fly tt short right field for
two bases. McHrftc, the next one Up,
grounded out (q,'M,assey.

DIAMOND DUST.
Syracuso comes today.
Magulre possesses the only fielding
average below .900.
Harper and Boyd will try and curtail
tho Stars' base hit column this after
noon. Tho Miners have mado a total of 259
errors mi against 249 by tho clubs op
posed to them.
Harper, Morse and Glllon have each
won 13 and lost 12 games; Johnson has
won 3 and lost 1.
Eagan. Walters, Bonner, Massey, in the
order named, have been tho best run
getters on the team.
Massey's catch of White's foul fly In
the Blxth with one out was n wonder. It
was a moro difficult play than that of
Freeman.
Manager Sandy's batting nverago to
date Is .438 per cent.; he has played In
19 games. Mrancy, in 22 games, had an
average of .311.
Sullivan has had 29 fielding chances
and but one error since wearing a Min
er uniform. Ho has a hitting aycrago
of .333 per cent.
In four games Johnson has had but
threo fielding chances, ono of which was
accepted. Ho has been 11 times at bat
without making a hit.
Bonner, Massey and Eagan aro tho
only Miners who have passed the cen
tury mark In hits. They have mado 137,
123 nnd 107 respectively.
Magulre opened the seventh with what
seemed to be a three-base drive to right
center. Freeman pulled It down with
ono hand while on tho run.
Magulre has played throughout all tho
94 games. 'Bonner Is credited with tho
samo number, though he was ill and
forced to retiro from ono of tho games
with Wllkes-Barre.
If Toronto had only Seranton to play
tho rest of tho season that pennant would
bo a cinch for Irwin. Springfield Union.
And, tho Union might have added, if
Scranton had only Springfield to piny
the positions of these two c'.ubs would bo!
reversed that's a cinch, too. .
It Is said that tho real reason why Barry
waa recalled from Scranton at tho pres
ent tlmo was a quiet tip that ono of tho
Natlonalleagueclubs.sald to bo Pittsburg,
Intended to draft the promising young
player. As that meant $500 In somebody'a
pocket, Mr. Franklin didn't Intend to
take any chances on Scranton putting In
a claim for the money as It is the osten
sible employer of Barry. With the rulo
pgalnst farming it might stand a show of
winning out. Buffalo Express.

UNCLE ANSON TALKS
ABOUT BASE BALL
Says (be Prospects of the Great Sport
Were Never Brighter.
IS NOT A DEQRADINQ PROFESSION
Success on tho JFlold Meant DUtlne
tlon In Other Callings Late in Life
if the IMnvon Have noon .Moral nnd
TomperntoCollogo Players, Snys
Anion. Knnk Abovo Their Fellows
in Speed, Ilrnlns nnd Discipline.
"Uncle" Anson and his Chlcngos
have, of course, been familiar figures
here for these many years, tho former
changing little In appc-arox.uo from
year to year, while his heard of young.
Btcrs Is apt to vary greatly with each
annual round-up, eayn a recent Chi
cago dispatch to the Sun. Still, ther
is an ever increasing Interest appar
ently to see the "grand old man" of
base ball and shake him by the hand.
Consequently he Is much driven to
holding Impromptu levees, and when
the Sun reporter approached him this
morning he wag surrounded by the
usual circle of admirers.
Anson wa turning his attention to
his correspondence, regardless of the
waiting group. The way ho was do
ing his correspondence might be taken
ns characteristic of the veteran dia
mond general'. He was writing his
letters on the low counter of the Gibson
Houso office, necessitating tho labor
ious stooping over nnd doubling up of
tho upper half of his stalwart framo
and the bracing and sprawling far out
behind of his long and muscular legs.
In due time the Sun reporter said.
"Mr. Anson, what of base ball of to
day? Is It on a solid basis and ad
vancing with other professions, or in
dustries?" GOOD PROSPECT.
"It certainly is," was the reply. "Tho
most earnest and enthusiastic patrons
and well wishers could really not hope
for better present conditions or bright
er prospects for the national game. It
is conducted on business principles as
exact and substantial as those of bank
ing. Tho game is here to stay always,
that is as certain as is tho future of
any line of business."
"Is ball playing deslreable as a call
ing for a young man?"
"I think so, provided of course that
he has ambition and talents for dia
mond achievements. The standard of
character Is being advanced right along
in the base ball profession, and tho
salaries paid are good, considerably
better than those to be expected at the
start In almost any other calling. Tho
yearly recruits from the colleges Is
having effect in the way of raising the
standard of character or those quail
ties commonly supposed to make up
the outfit of the gentleman and model
citl3en."
"Do you think that following the
base ball calling disqualifies In any de
gree, or is generally considered as an
obstacle in tho way of persons with
ambition to sh'lno socially?"
AN HONORABLE PROFESSION.
"No, I don't. I have never found
it to be considered otherwise than
strictly an honorable, much admired
vocation. Of course, I don't supposo
that T could mingle with the 'Four
Hundred,' nor do I believe that I want
to."
"How about qualifying f0r business
or professional life could a young man
spend, say, five or ten years as a pro
fessional ball player and not injure his
prospects In other directions?"
"Of course, he would lose the years
from the actual application to his other
calling, with all that that means, but if
he was a success as a ball player I
cannot think that he would be perma
nently handicapped for the average life
struggle. Qualities that win on the
ball field count in any sphere in life."
"How about college men as players
pure and simple do they rank In skill
with the players with the untrained
minds?"
"College men rank rather above the
others, even from the standpoint of
'fast' playing. In the first place, they
aro easier to manage. There must be
discipline, you know, and the students
are accustomed to it and also are nat
urally more ant to be courteous and
considerate of conduct. Then they un
doubtedly think faster, with all that
that implies, in all stages of diamond
work. Again, the men of trained minds
are not so apt to go to the dogs; there
fore, are more apt'to put up good ball
all the time, and for a long time. It is
the opinion of many that had Mike
Kelly been a college man, or a man
with a disciplined mind, he would have
been better able to withstand the temp
tations that beset him, as they par
ticularly do all persons engaged In en
tertaining or amusing the public.
"Another thing In favor of college
bred players Is that they are gluttons
for physical training. No ball players
or other class of athletes train as hard
nnd conscientiously as do college boys
preparing for their games and races."
"How would the players of the early
days of the game, say of twenty-five
years ago, rank with those of today?"
OLD AND NEW PLAYERS.
"Well, there were players then that
were stars, perhaps, of equal magni
tude with those of the present. But
they were fewer. Teams then had prob
ably two or three stars each; now they
have all stars but two or three, per
haps." "Don't you think that if It were pos
sible to take & player like George
Wright, for instance, and wipe out tho
twenty-five years of age, placo him in
the midst of the best players of today,
he would hold his own with them?"
"Jle certainly would. There never
will be any better players than George
Wright, Ross Barnes, Mike Kelly, Fred.
Dunlap, Ed, Williamson, and quite a
number of others almost equally promi
nent In their day."
"How will the championship struggle
end this year?"

At reduced prices, still continues. We have $100.00 Bicycles ranging in price from
$50.00 to $75.00. You can buy department store bicycles at any price. We have none.
It is bad policy to buy a bicycle that will turn out to be a neck breaker. Remember,
we are the largest dealers in the city, and can offer you better inducements than any
one in the city. Not in business for one year, but here to stay.

"Tho Bostons will most likely win out
and strictly oh their merits. Baltimore
will be second, and Now York nnd Cin
cinnati will fight It out for third."
"How is the Windy City for base" ball
now 7" .
"Crazy for a winning team, which wo'
have unfortunately been unable to give
them."
"Do you expect to be with tho team
and to play ball next year as you have
for tho past twenty-flvo years or
more?"
"I expect to play first base right along
next season and for the Chlcagos, of
course."
RACING AT RGADVILLG.
Joo l'ntchon Was Ono of tho Fenturot
ot Amusement.
neadvllle, Mass., Aug. 27. A largo
crowd saw good racing at Rcadvllle park
today, the star attraction for many be
ing the attempt of Joo Patcheu (2.01H)
to beat the world's pacing record of 2.00Va.
Owing to tho brisk wind that swept up
the stretch the trial was delayed till 6
o'clock nnd then there was still a stiff
brcozo that probably added one or two
seconds. Tho record was not broken, but
tho time mado was very fast, the quar
ter being paced In .31, half In 1.02H. three
quarters In 1.31 and the miles In 2.0!.
