DIAMOND DUST.
Scranton at Wilkes Barre today.

III W To-Day.
Springfield could no; solve Holson.
Scranton and Wlikes-R Barre were :he
only Eastern league clubs that did not play
yesterday.
Scranton has won ten out of the last
thirteen games played. Willes-Barre has
dropped i've of the last seven games on
their own grounds.
In yesterdays game with Rochester.
Syracuse knocked Duryea ont OF the box
and then lost the game by one run, thus
repeating the performance Of the first
game with Scranton on Saturday.
The reason for Sunday ball games is
forcibly given by the attendance figures in
Rochester yesterday: over 7.G0o persons
saw the game with Syracuse If q losing
club draws such crowd, what would q
wipn,ng club do?
Milt Whitehead, released by Scranton,
played third base for Rochester yesterday.
He made made two outs and two assists
and was the only one on the team who
failed TO get hit. He was five times at
bat and sacrificed in the last inning.
Some time ago Manager Barn.e ascer-
tained that late hours and other things
We're Interfering with the mems playing.
The result was 4 severe lecture and the lay
ing down of Il code of rules on morals and
bed hours. Manager Barnie has an op-
portrn!ty to repeat his former action.
Brady was caught at the plate in the sew
enth inning of tn. second game, but he
would have been declared out in any event
owing to Smiths attemp; to confuse
Rafter. Smith and Brady came In on
Wards ls n pivh nd
the rubber Smith turned about and ran
in front of Rafter just before he received
the ball.
There Is no truth In th- rumor of Wards
prospective release. Including Ward,
there are only twelve players on the team
and with Ward released. the clubs extra
list would consist of only one catcher and
two pitchers. New York may recall
Tommy Bannon. In such an event Rad
ford would be played in the field his old
position and Ward returned 10 second.
He Is vauabl. player and Is not benched,
but Manager Barnie keeps him out OF the
game because 1t would not be good policy
to change the present makeup OF the
team. with Ward released and Bannon
recalled. the club would be badly crippled.
