was cut off at the plate by one Of the
most accurate throws from the outfield
ever seen on the grounds. Hogan was
on third and Rogers batted u fly to
left field which Donoghue captured.
As soon as he saw it trapped Hogan

ball started in the same direction pro

give it.

outstretched hands Of Catcher Cote,
who received it when Hogan was two
feet from the home plate. Had the ball
been thrown q fraction less accurate
the run would have been scored.
During tho fifth inning it began to
rain, and in the sixth when Westlake
was at the bat the rain descended sc
heavily that the players and spectators
had to seek shelter. The score then
was as follows:

Rain Nercifully Prevented Scranton from
Winning Another.
Scranton won its sixth straight game
Yesterday, by defeating Alex. Dom
Oughe's Altoona aggregation at the park
in the afternoon in a gam that was cut
short in the sixth inning by a severe
rain storm
But for the perverss character Of the
weather during the week there is no
doubt that scranton would stand sew
eral points higher in the league race,
for the home Team has been playing a
brilliant article of ball since its return
home, Notwithstanding the miserable
weather.
The boys are evidently determined to
wipe out the errors of the past by de-
monstrating hat they are capable Of
playing the national game in splendid
style. II is unfortunate, therefore, that
ut this time when the weaker CLUBS of
The league were scheduled to play in
this city the weather should persist.

Ia the second Higgins and Swift
made corRing base hits and Flanaghan
sacrificed in brilliant style, advancing
the runners to third and second. At
this critical moment Hogan stepped to

Pottsyillc, received a telegram stating
Tint the hackers Of the club had deter
mined to quit.
This has been 4 poor season for Els'
ton. The attendance has been poor
owing TO the fact that the club has not
oeen playing winning ball, and to add
20 the trouble, tho rain has played
havoc with the scheduled games.
Much money was lost in that way.
Another thing that worked injury to
the club is the feeling which prevails
in Easton with regard TO Allentown.
The E~sstonites will not tolerate a club
shat cannot at least pull an ven stroke
with the representatives Of Peanut
town.
Manager Smith, of Pottsville, has Sc.
cured Pitchers Hughes and Wilson of
the disbanded CLUB, and Short Stop
Ellis, who is one Of the best in the
league. Easton's place will be prob
ably filed 10y admitting either Lancas.
ter or Shenandoah to the league.
Allentown defeated Reading yester-
day which permitted the Scranton to
tie that club for filth place. Harris

TuAT sECoND QAlIE.

For twenty-five minutee the rain
continued to descend and then came a
rift in the clouds and Manager Don
oghue asked Umpire Ketrick to have
the game finished. 1t was ten minutes
later before the players could go on the
field. and then Manager Swift asked
that the second game be called. a
long and vigorous kick was made by
Mr.. Donoghue, who SAID the first game
would have to be finished before he
would undertake to play II second. It
was pointed out to him that the time
for calling the second game had ar
rived. aud that according to the rules
the five innings of the first constituted
II game.
In the meantime sawdust had been
literally applied to the grounds and at
4.40 Mr.. Donoughe consented TO pro-
coed with the second game. The
grounds were sloppy and Pitchers
Schiebel and Flanagan who were put
in to pitch the second game found it
difficult to control the ball. 1t prom
ised to be a game OF heavy hitting but
while the second inning was being
| played the downpour Of rain again be-
! gan and Umpire Ketrick called the
game. The score stood 2 to Din favor
OF Scranton.

And why are all bachelors objects Of scorn,

Why is the lone widower so promt to revive,
SO quick to take notice, so ready to wive?
Then why is the widow, just free from her

Always waiting around to be captured again !
Pray, why did not Adam, with sarcasm glib,
Daily gibe at poor Eve for the loss of his rib
And WHY didn't Noah, when closing the ark,
Forget his dear spouse in the dampness and

Why did not good Lot, in his fight from Go

TIE ORIGIN OF THE JAG.
This Expl essiye Bit OF Slang Had Iogi-
cal Birth,

Jag is brief but expressive and
unusually popular word, which has
obtained general vogue in modern
slang. The Century Dictionary de-
fines it Z: 'As much liquor as one can
carry as, to have IA jag on; hence,
drunken condition." This definition
is not adequate or satisfactory. A
jag is different from load. When q
man has as much liquor. as he can
carry easilyit Is jag; when he has
more than he can carry it Is load.
A jag Is Il term of intOxication a
load is pure drunkenness. A jag can
be any degree from the happy condi-
tiOn OF few drinks to the danger
point, when the pOssessor of the jag
knows that he must walk in straight
tine or stagger. When he staggers his
jag becomes load. The words are
not attractive, but their universal use
gives them Importance. This was
recognized by DR.. Edward EgglestOn,
the eminent historian. who is lectur-
ing at the Peabody Institute, says the
Baltimore American, and in his very
interesting address Tuesday evening
he gave some new information on the
history of the word. In the last cent
ury most OF the inland transportation
was done by pack horses. When he
was visiting England last year he
was in Il section Of the country where
the pack horse was still in use. The
local name for transportation by this
method is tagging. A Jag is pack
horse load. So he found the same use
of the word in the early history Of
this country. Itisstill heard in some
sections, and it has come to mean q
part of load For instance, il q
man brings to market quarter or a
half Of wagon load it is called jag.
The jaeger wagon is a wagon that
carries on W pack horses load. Thus
it went on until some inspired genius
applied it to certain alcO-
holic condition, and finally We have
the result that "A jag is small load,
but that real load is equal to several
Tags.
