many valuable forty-acre tracts of
pine have been greatly underestimated

sold as containing 100000 feet, when
they actually had standing pine to
the amount Of 100000 feet in some

CarbOndaie Won Easily by the Score

Special to the Scranton tribune.
Carbondale. May 2O.-It was hardly
what could be called base ball weather
today. The air was raw and cold, but
despite this the cranks were not dis
couraged and quite q large crowd sat
on the hard benches at Anthracite park
and shivered and shook but neverthe-
less enjoyed the sound drubbing Car
bOndale gave the Hazleton boys. There
was a noticeable falling off In the at
tendance on "Deadhead" hill. and those
who gathered there hugged the fires
they had built to keep them from freez
ing. This very pleasant thing, how
ever, will not occur another day for as
soon as the ewather clears they will be
out in full force.
Jordan probably had an off day-the
fans will be charitable and think so
anyhow. The way his delivery was
knocked about was caution. Base
hits doubles and triples in quick order
was not q thing to give much encour-
agement to any pitcher. and 1t evidently
did not to him. Swifts men are be-
coming the terror of all the league
teams. Out Of the three games they
have played this week. sixty-five hits
have been placed to their credit
Much interest was centered in the
game, as George Westlake, the crack
third baseman Of last years team,
played with Hazleton. He disappoint-
| ed his admirers. however. as he did not
show up very well. making several er-
| rors. Massey carried off the honors of
| the game for Carbondale. In the Sec

tho ball amid loud cheers. Rafter, in

five runs. Hazleton went TO pieces and

MORE COSTLY ERRORS.
They Ratified Brown. Who Started Out
10 Pitch q Good Game and Buffalo
Had an Easy Thing.

Buffalo, May 20-Costly errors in the
field had a good deal to do with Scran-
tons defeat today. Brown pitched a
fair game for the first few innings. but
got such miserable support that he be-
came discouraged and went TO pieces IN
the fifth and seventh.
Scranton began the game by pounding
Cannon In the first inning. which. with
a few bad errors thrown In, netted the
visitors three runs. Then Stahl count
ed one for Buffalo on base on balls, a
steal and Wise's single. but Scranton
cut this off in their half of the second
on a single by Ward, followed by singles
by Huthinson and Flack.
II was right here that the reign of the
Coal Barons ended. Buffalo went to
bat in their half of the second, and as
sisted by the field errors of the visitors,
tied the score. Grominger went out on
= grsunder to the pitcher. but Ward let
Smiths grounder get away from him,
and Lewee singled. Ward got Gannon's
grounder but Stahl walked to first and
Rutland shot a hot grOunder through
Hutchinson, scoring all three men on
the bases.
In the fifth Ruhland landed a double,
Clymer three-bagger and Field a
single. These hits. with a bad muff by
Flack In center, scored three runs for
Buffalo. In the seventh Buffalo got
after Brown again, Wise drawing a
double, Field long single and Smith a
single. A couple of passed balls helped
in the two runs.
After the second inning Scranton
coul do nothing with Gannon's deliv-
cry and drew long row of goose eggs
In consequence. The score:

Some question has been raised wheth-
er Scranton has the right to Pitcher
Harper without giving Rochester first
choice, 1t being from that club that he
was drafted last year to the National
league. The question Is properly raised;
Rochester's consent must be obtained.
The clause in the new National agree
ment bearing ON the matter was meant
to block any International scheme to get
a player out of one team and into an
other In the same league through draft
or sale 20 u club outside the league.
In this case 1t Is plain there was no
such scheme and Rochester will prob
ably not Withhold its approval.
Scranton will be involved In the same
kind Of trouble II it Is decided to pur-
chase two other players now in the
National league and who were in the
Eastern last year But in these cases
also there was no precOnceived attempt
to transfer the players TO Scranton
when they were purchased by the Ma
tiOnal league.
A dispatch from Scranton states that
Tom Power submitted to the inevitable
and signed a Scranton contract yester-
day. And now Power will play just as
good baseball for Scranton as though
the trouble never had arisen. There are
