ONLY TWO HITS.
That's All Buffalo Could Make OF
Young Yerrick.

Buffalo, June 25.-Yerrick, Wilkes
Barre's pitcher, Is entitled to the palm
for winning today's game. His work
was the finest of the season, breaking
all records. In the nine innings the
Blsons secured but two scattered hits
and had it not been for the very bad
errors of Earl and Mcmahon the home
team would have been shut out. Gray
started to pitch for Buffalo and was
batted all over the lot. Wadsworth re-
lived him in the third and pitched good
ball, but the Bisons could not hit. Belts
made a grand one-hand catch of Fields
long fly. Clymer also caught one near
the ground, turning a somersault in
doing so. Score:

The few, however, enjoyed the close
contest, although Stearns made it slow,
as usual.
In the ninth Scranton made five clean
singles and a safe bunt, but only got
three runs. With the bases full Ward
fouled out. Padden's two home runs
were straight drives to right and left
center. Dowse was taken out In the
second for poor work. Moran was SO
wild that Staley replaced him in the
third. Attendance 200. Score:
