BASE BALL GOSSIP.


Harper will pitch for Scranton not
withstanding the kick registered by
Rochester. The latter's protest was of
no avail, and President Powers on Sat
urday night wired the Scranton own
ers here and Manager McDermott at
Syracuse to put Harper in the box at
any time. He will probably pitch
against Syracuse today.
All the hue and cry about Tom Power
feigning illness or that he is sulking
and don't want to play with Scranton
Is pure rot. Power has been very
sick man, and now he is not well by
any means. Since he agreed to play
for Scranton he has been honest In his
wish to get in the game and he was
more than anxious to do so after he
learned of what the Scranton owners
had done to protect him against the
Wiles of Euntsch. What this favor
was is now a piece of unwritten his
tory, but Tom Power isn't the kind Of
q man who spits on a kind Office. He
looks the shadow of his former self.
but sits on the Scranton bench each
day and practices occasionally. He Is
supposed to be recovering from seri-
Gus attack of gastric fever.
Manager McDermott is to be dismissed
or that negotiations have been opened
with anyone to succeed him. The ru-
more started from paragraph in
Sporting Life to the effect that Con
,Strouthers was on his way here to
take charge of the team.
Said one of the Scranton owners last
night: ",rhe story is false. 1t is a
| difficult thing to state what may at
| any moment be done to change the ca
| reer of a losing team. Often seeming
| ly good players are released, seemingly
! bad ones signed, managers suspended
and scores of other things happen. We
have decided on none of these. we
have simply given Manager McDermott
| unlimited scope and have assisted with
| every means at our command. Re-
| Gently changes were made In the posi-
| tions and personnel of the team and /
suppose that is what gave rise to the
rumor Of McDermott's prospective re-
lease. We have not announced our
selves ready to make any such sweep
ing change as that
There is still third rumor to deny.
Scranton Is not after five players OF

ton management heard Of Carbondale's 8

opened for First Baseman "Bill' Mas
