TIIU WOHK of the Si-runton baso
ball team for the past week has
been of the gllt-edgo order, und
four straight victories Is tho rec
ord. It is too early In this sea
son to gain a very clear idea of tho
strength of tho league nines, but from
a comparison of tho work already done
Burnham's men show up very Ktrong.
In the two games with Elmlra they
made tho New Yorkers look like an
t aggregation of amateurs, nnd by win
ning from the strong Allentown and
Wllkcs-liurro teams Increased their
stock Immensely In tho eyes of local
fans. Comparing the team with last
year's nlne.tho present Scranton repre
sentatives appear very much stronger.
The chief trouble ' last year's team
was the fact that the ... il could not
bat. In that respect, this year's nine
is .surely not at fault. In the course of
the week they batted fiercely every
pitcher who faced them, and their bat
ting did not consist of singles alone,
but Included a generous sprinkling of
long drives, home runs, three-bagger3
and two-baggera all being made. Fer
guson, Knox and Shefller -constitute a
hard-hitting, fast fielding outfield and
during the week batted at a terrific
lato, while of the lnflelders, Doherty
and Mclntyre hit the ball hard, nnd
the two O'Hrler.s also did their share
with tho willow.
Tho men are fast, gingery playem
,and fight hard for every game, as wa3

evidenced in Thursday'- nmtih ut Al
lcntown, when the unfortunate little
occurrence happened, as a icsult of
which Kennedy anil Second Uaseman
O'Brien were put out of the game.
Every man on tho team played his
gamo during tlie week, Toft and Mll
lerlek catching In splendid style, und
the entire fielding staff doing good
w oik.
Another game is played at Wilkes
Bane today and then two games with
Klmlra, after which Scranton comes
home to play Wllkes-Barre. At least
one of tho Klmlra games ought to bo
won.
Base Ball Brevities.
PITCHER JACK KEENAN, last year
with Scranton, left for Syracuso
Tuesday, and will pitch for that
city's Eastern league team.
Latlil, the big fellow who played left
field for Paterson last year and is
now playing the same position at New
ark, is batting the ball at a terrific
rate. Wednesday he had a single, a
double, a triple, and a homo tun, and
Thursday In a seven Inning game, two
dobles and a three bagger were his
share.
Tho work of "Hubc" Wnddell, who
last) year at Louisville, with a second
rate team back of him, won nearly
every game he pitched, has piood a
big disappointment so far at Pitts-

burg, with a fast fielding, terrific hit
ting aggregation of players back of
him, as ne has only won one of tho
games ho has pitched. It Is probably
the coolness of the weather that has
worked havoc with the young fellow's
arm, and when it begins to grow a bit
sultry he will probably have the bats
men all guesblng again, ns he did last
summer.
The littsbuig team seems to have
boon having troubles of Its own at the
first base position. Now that Cooley
has bi-on signed, however, the difficulty
has been done away with and the
hard-hitting ex-Quaker will prove a
tower of strength to the Pirate Infield.
In Beaumont, .Manager Fleisehman,
of Heading, seems to have ncitltrod a
star of the first magnitude, If his work
during the past week ran be taken as
a fair rrlteiinu. lie has fielded his
position well and batted the ball at a
rate which will land him near the top
of the league batsmen.
"Kid" Cross, brother of Monte Cross,
of Philadelphia, is putting up a fine
game at shortstop for Beading.
Dick Hurley is playing a star center
field for Detroit in the Ameilcan
league, and It oughtn't to bo long be
fore tho hard-hitting ex-colleglan Is
back again In the big league ranks.
Walsh, tho Mayfield boy, who plays
left field on the Gorgetown university
ball team, In, Wednesday's game with
the Carlisle Indians hit four singles
und a home run.
Shaw and 'Ryan, both of whom for
merly caught, at the same time, on
the Syracuso Eastern league team, are
now with Detroit. Shaw is catching
and Ryan holds down first base.
Ralph Seybold is making a strong
hid for the American league home run
hitting honors and has three or four
to his credit alieady. Tuesday, at Buf
talo, he sent the ball over the fence,
and drove two otheis which cleared
the fence, but woie just Inside the
foul line.
"Ducky" Holmes has lieen signed by
Detroit to play left field.
Schrec-kongost, the man with the un
pronounceable name, who last year
caught for Cleveland and St. Louis,
Is now one of the Buffalo backstops.
Dick Knox, of the local team, seems
to be a batter of the Buck Freeman or
der, Inasmuch as with him iti is Ken
dally nn extra baso drive or nothing.
In his first three league games he
made five hits, of which four were
two-baggers.
In Miller, Kennedy nnd Koivln,
Scranton certainly has a trio of pitch
ers who can hold their own with any
In the league as regards batting abili
ty, at least.
Kennedy's game against Elmlra,
when he held the Now Yorkers down
to one run and thiee hits, Is the best
pitched game of the Atlantic league
season so far.
