DIAMOND DUST.

| I.orttt ANA Berger today.
| Griffin faced Belts four times and made
| three hits and 4 sacrifice.
| That lob BAH of Belts is the easiest
| thing in the world to hit--iD the air.
| The only college trait about Goeckel Ia
his long hair. He plays very much like u
| veteran.
| OF the eleven games played between
them, Scranton has won seven and Wilkes
| Barre four.
| 1t looks as though Meaney had at least
| one good eye a sacrifice, a triple and a
single out of four times mp isn't SO bad.
| Coakley has been fined So and suspend
ed. Bonner charges him with Indifferent
| pitching and characterization while in
| Providence.
The boil on Gillon's leg was sufficiently
| troublesome yesterday to prevent his
running after reaching first on a single.
| Massey ran for him.
| Wilkes Barre one" said the office
hoy. Scranton won you IDIOT" yelled
| the editor. mo, Scranton three" groancd
| the kid-and he hasn't felt like sitting
| down since.
| Little keister has returned TO Ba1ti-
more He is an active player but lacked
the seasoning and steadiness which would
make him valuable. Scranton will not
| need him next season.
| Joe GnnsOn. Scranton's new catcher,
| is in the business for fun. He owns
| Philadelphia real estate which furnishes
| him a handsome income. sufficient to sup
| port him II he should see lit 10 abandon
the base bah business.
| Manager Hanlon says that while ii was
true that Donnclly had not done himself
| justice in the Cleveland series, he attr!b-
| utcd ii very largely to the fact that the
| crowd had been calling time and again Tor
| McGraw, and that that disconnected Dom
nelly, and made him nervous.
| 80 far as looking after the smallest de-
| tails OF his position is concerned" says
| Nick" Young, "Emslie Is the best man on
| the staff. He comes here before the sea-
| son opens, gives me a list of the twelve
| hotels at which he will stop during the sea
son, receives his instructions and Is off,
and from that time until the close OF the
season it is not necessary for me to see
| him again
| Umpire Curry has had nine years expert
ence. lie was in the National league and
| American association prior to his year
| in the Eastern league in 1891 after which
| he abandoned the business and has since
| been employed in the Philadelphia Bureau
of gas. He is umpir,ng now as a part
means of filling in u months vacation.
| He will return to work in the Philadel-
phia bureau on September IL. He was AT
one time manager of the OSwego base ball
| club.
| McGraw threw the ball into the grand
| stand at Baltimore. and it was thrown
| out again by II spectator. Doyle got It.
threw it to Hoffer in the box, who threw
to Robinson, catching Lyons at the plate.
The champions claimed that 1t was plain
| blocked ball. and was again in play when
it was returned to the pitcher. Umpire
| Lally thought its going in the grand stard
and being handled by u spectator made ii
| equivalent to Il bah that had been driven
| ont of the grounds. and allowed Denny to
| tally.
| President Powers got tangled with his
printer, the schedule and Labor Day. The
official schedule can be interpreted to mean
| two games between Wilkes Barre AMI
| Scranton either tomorrow or OH Monday.
Monday, being Labor Day, is supposed to
be the date for the two games, one here
and one In Wilkos-Barre. kilograms were
| sent from here ana WilkeS-Barre last
| night i'll an cndoavor 10 straightan the
| matter. 1t Is almost certain that the mis-
| understanding will result in one game to-
| morrow afternoon in this city and two
| gaines Monday. Whether the Monday
game here will be played in Inc morning
Or afternoon will depend on the Labor Day
