The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-08-17
DIAMOND DUST:


Miller and Keenan, will be the opopos-
ing pitchers.
Washington Is after Hill, of the Har-
risburg club.
Meaney and Eagan have yet to make
their first kick.
Meaney failed to get a hit. but he
sent the ball to the outfield twice.
Rusie is being hit tremendously hard.
A don't care feeling has probably set
tied on his curves.
Joe Cor'bett, the pugilist's brother,
will be given trial in the infield by
the Washington management.
Excepting Miller, Stearns, Johnson
and Ward. the club Is composed of re-
leased or farmed New York players and
State leaguers.
President Bogert. of the Wilkes
Barre club. wanted two games played
today. With only three pitchers on
the club? Nay. nay.
Johnson. the pitcher, engaged in a
street row last night and carries a
lump on his head and a discoloration
beneath one eye in evidence of the
event.
Sweeney will not be put back at
short as long as Stearns can field as
we'll as $50 per cent. And three out of
four chances Is pretty good for an
emergency shortstop.
Aleck Smith continues to bat in hard
luck. He popped two up for Earl,
reached first on an error and hit out
two high ones that forced Griffin to get
back within few feet Of the fence.
Meaney is cut out for q ball player,
and will yet be heard from in the big
league. As a batter. base runner,
fielder and pitcher he is away above
the average.-Wilkes-Ba Record.
"Give him a slow one" said Shannon
to Belts while Schriver was at bat in
the eighth. Belts did so and Schriver
smashed 1t for two bases. There We're
two out and Butler flew out to Lezotte.
On account OF the trouble at Spring
field, Umpire Doescher's assignment
for Providence has been cancelled and
he has been ordered to Wilkes-Barre
for the series with Scranton. Hurst
goes to Providence.
President Belts, Of the Scra nton club,
refuses to raise the Luby suspension
Marty Swift was here yesterday and
argued In vain; ne wants Luby for
CarbOndale. Manager Barnie was
neutral In the matter.
won from Wilkes-Barre. OF the series
among the other clubs Syracuse won
two out OF three from Buffalo. Toronto
won two out Of three from Rochester,
and Springfield won two out Of three
from Providence.
Ward and Johnson only are left Of
the original 1895 team And 1t Is a po-
tent fact that Of the many released
players none have since played sue
cessfully, excepting Brady and possibly
Delaney. who has yet to prove that he
Is valuable to Syracuse.
Following Eagan's mistake in not
running for the fly which AZ caught
would have won for Scranton Wednes-
days game. Pete was given fatherly
talk by Manager Barnle. The effect
was shown yesterday. Pete was as
lively as hen with a brood Of chick
ems and made two goodness gracious"
catches.
Here's how the wilkes-Barre News
Dealer explains It: "Chalrles Simth
ne was running In from third and was
5eered and hissed for the play, al
though Smith intended nothing In
The Rne Of dirty ball playing, as ne
was running down the Zine to cover the
plate"
Says theWHkes- Barre Record: "Char-
ley Smith In the seventh inning, while
running to cover the plate, happened
TO interfere with a base runner unwit-
tinRly and was severely criticized and
Missed. He was unaware that Eagan
wac coming In, and assuredly did not
deserve the censure he received, al
though It may have appeared as though
ne intended to trip Eagan."
