QUARLES WEAKENED.
Tic Had the Best of Pitchers Battle Until
the Seventh Inn!ng-Then the Ponies
Lined Them Out by the BarrelfuI.

Lined Them Out by the Barrclful.
Pitcher Callahan, of the Springfield
Ponies, made one of his star efforts
yesterday so did Charleston six in
nings, and then the Ponies solved his
riddles and Scranton dropped with a
dull and sickening thud. Until that
fatal seventh the two twirlers duelled
after fashion that threatened heart
disease for the chronic bleacher.
In the first six innings five hits for
seven bases were made off the youthful
Callahan, while only four singles were
made off Quarles But during that
interval the Ponies brouht in two runs
and Scranton one; Quarles sent two on
a walk to first and struck one out, Rad
ford and Stearns each made an error,
Callahan hit a batsman and sent two
to first on balls and Shannon made an
error. Such was the even contest which
for the time sent Scranton stock up
above par and kept the somnolent
spectators eyes open.
But beginning with the seventh chap
ter the fatality came and during the
balance of the game nine hits for twelve
bases We're made by the Ponies and six
runs scored. Errors by Johnson and
Stearns and two bases on balls helped
the ruin along.
1t was a coincidence that third bag
for each club was occupied by a left
fielder whose old-time position had
been on second base. For Scranton
Brady was on third in place of White
head, who has been released. Stearns
was in left field and Delaney in right;

place of Captain Donnelly. who has n
bruised finger, and Catcher Leahy
frisked about to Scrantons sorrow in
left garden.
Work in New Positions.
Brady did not have an opportunitv to
show his real ability on the bag. but he
accepted successfully two easy chances.
Stearns misjudged one easy hy and
muffed another. Delaney played with
out error and owing to the novelty of
his new position cannot be .censured
Tor not making greater effort to
catch one fly which developed a hit
Stearns' errors We're hardly excusable
put there Is consolation in the fact
that he seldom falls from grace. Brady
ana Delaney will probably do all that
IS expected of players in new posi-
tions.
Aside from the even honors during
he first part of the game, the crowd
mad other excitement not down on the
score card. but which for the time was
good return for the price of admis-
sion. At the beginning of the sixth
inning Hurst. who had been in the
field. changed places with the only
Caffnnv yryhn
The grandstand would not realize the
wisdom of the change, but guyed
Hurst as soon as he began to show his
PAGES on balls and strikes. After one
of the many outbursts of disapproval,
Hurst faced about and said:
L want you people to understand
that am not here to be insulted, and
II any of you do it again I'll have YOU
put out of the grounds" The irate UNI
pire walked toward the plate and the
guying continued. He turned and said
why don't you yell when I'm looking
at you?" "
"Well, we WILL" said an individual
in shirt sleeves.
Hurst spotted him and ordered Man
ager Barnie to see that the person was
elected.
Some Of the Details.
The Scrantons We're retired one, two,
three in the second, fourth, eighth and
ninth.
In the first we failed to score with
Ward and Radford on bases and none
out. Stearns grounded out to first, and
Clark was caught mapping at first af-
ter forcing Ward at the plate.
