The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-08-15
DIAMOND DUST,

Meaney will pitch today.
Massey. of the Carbondales, Is III from
malar!al fever.
Scranton, with the best team on the face
OF the earth. couldn't beat the AlligatOrs.
Scranton will soon be known as the New
York Juniors. We now have Bannon, But
Ter and Schriver. and each is q really-truly
good player.
Wilkes-Barre here today and tomorrow:
then Scranton goes to Wilkes-Barre for
three games. and will be away from home
until Sept. 10.
Dan Shannon never misses q point In the
game; he's every inch a player. and even
coached keenan, when the latter was al
bat In the last inning.
Hughey Jennings has made over 100 runs
for the Orioles so far this season. Joe
Kelley and Billy Keeler. of the same team,
have made more than ninety each.
Carbondale will give a trial to Sean.
pitcher for the Scranton Young Mems
Christian association, and Finnerty,
catcher for the Dunmore Morning Glories.
Touching on the umpire troubles In the
National league. .. p. Caylor.says in the
New York Herald nobody but President
Young is to be blamed for the condition of
affairs. He also advocates that Tim Hurst
and Charley Snyder. of the Eastern league.
be secured. To this suggestion all true
friends of the game will register their de-
c.ded Alternatives Washington Post. No
true friend of the game" will ever wish
to see Non Compus Mentis Snyder wear
an umpire's mask again. If he Is too In
competent for the Eastern, he is too in
competent for any league. As for Hurst,
he knows where his ability is best appre-
ciated and will stay where he is.
Jim Corbett. the pugilist. has been
"slgned" to play first base for Scranton
against Buffalo in today's game, and will
give a bag punching exhibition In front Of
the grand stand before the game. This Is
going little too far In hppodroming the
game. There are enough objectionable
features in base ball without ringing in
pr!ze-fghters to draw u crowd.
Any such Feature" as Corbett would dis
gust the high class Of patronage which
Springfield Is supported by. Springfield
Union. Scranton won the game and Cor
bett and his brother played well. What
the public thought of 1t was best shown in
the large attendance, which included n
larger percentage OF respectable women
than ever before attended ball game in
Scranton. 1t was Corbett the ball pleyer
and not a prize-ighter that the public saw.
Whatever may the opinion of the Spring.
field Union oracle or whatever may be the
customs of his somnolent town, Scranton
reserves the right to do as 1t pleases. pro-
vided no objection comes from the club
Immediately concerned, as was Buffalo
and not Springfield. The Implication con-
tained In the statement that the "Corbett
feature would disgust the high class pat
ronage which supports Springfield" comes
with mighty poor grace when Springfield
Is largely supported by the other clubs In
the league. Scranton Is doing fairly well
with a sixth position club, and Springfield
isn't doing much better with a winner
II II were in Scranton's place II might
need something worse than the stimulus
of disgusting" Corbett feature. Stop
chewing, Mr.. Oracle. and play ball.
