The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-09-14
SLINTS FROM the DIAMOND.

There will not be game at the park
this afternoon, but tomorrow the Scranton
and Providence clubs will again play.
Patchen's hard work behind the bat
during the season is telling on him. He
can no longer bat or throw to bases in his
old time form,
The Hustlers cannot play the Sunset
Juniors, of Archibald, on Sept. IA, but
would like to play them on Sept. % or "A
on the Archibald grounds. Answer in to-
morrow's TRIBUNE
Somebody wants Won der Abe to secure
Umpire Tim Hurst to manage the st.
Louis Browns next year. Should the COM
bination be formed verbatim report Of
the first disagreement between Chris and
Tim will be startling, if not SENSATIONAL
Brooklyn Eagle" Manager Cahill, of the
Scranton club, may be in command of the
Browns next seoson.
Catcher Donohue, of the Kansas City
team, has broken the catching record
heretofore held by thinner. Up to Aug.
% he had caught 1875 consecutive games,
and never missed an inning Of one of the
games. He promises to finish the season
behind the bat, something no other
catcher has done since the days Of over
hand pitching.-New York Herald.
The Boston Globe says: "All of the
eastern clubs of the National league will
make good money this season. 1t is safe
to say that New York and Philadelphia
will clear from $4,000 to 5000 each, and
Baltimore not far from the last figure.
Brooklyn has done well, and Washington
extremely 30 with cheap team. The
| Boston club will certainly clear over $50,
| 700 on their investment, with a good
chance of getting back the money they
sunk in the New York club in 1890. The
west has made very little money outside of
Chicago and Cincinnati"
While Dan Brouthers does not stand
near the top in the batting list, there is
one important thing that Is very gener-
ally overlooked by those who are anxious
to have him regarded as 'has been.n
When all the rest Of the team are batting
| like tiends, it will be noticed that Dams
hits are few and far between. But Den
MIS- hits are the timely ones that come in
close games when the Others are being
fooled, and when hits are sadly needed.
And they generally come when men are
on bases and bring in runs that are badly
| needed.
Here is what Syracuse paper has to
say king Kelly and his aggregation did
not appear In Erie In time for postpon ed
game, and the game was given to Erie.
This is rank injustice to Syracuse, who
are fighting hard to win second place over
Erie. Scranton, through a drunken um.
pre-, stole two games. and now, through
bunder or collusion Erie is given the ad-
vantage of still another game over Syra-
cuse. This makes three games in all.
| Now, it is a little singular that ali three of
the clubs engaged in the affair are from
Pennsylvania. Is Pennsylvania engaged
in a conspiracy to beat New York out of
second placer 1t might be as well for the
Syracuse newspapers to keep reasonably
close to the truth. There is no conspiracy
on the part Of Pennsylvania clubs to pre-
vent Syracuse from finishing in second
place, neither was the Stars robbed of two
games in this city by drunken umpire
fact which Ruffianly Sandy Griffin and
his players we'll know.
