ANOTHER VICTORY.
Harper Was Poorly Supported, but
TOrOnto's Errors Were More Costly
and Scranton Won.

In superb pitching contest between
Harper and Moran. the Canadians were
Saturday defeated in a shallow score
game. The score was 6 to L. 1t was
chiefly through the very costly errors of
Delehanty the Toronto shortstop, that
Scranton won. although our own errors
made it possible for the Canucks to get
three of their four runs.
The weather was threatening until
few minutes before the game was called,
but at 4 o'clock the sky cleared and al
most perfect base ball weather was pro-
vided The audience was large and
filed each set of bleachers and was rep
resented by generous sprinkling in
the grandstand. 1t was a typical Sat-
urday crowd, disposed, of course, to
root for home victory, but always
ready to applaud the good work of the
visitors.
Moran. who pitched for Toronto, has
almost clean string of victories since
the season opened and was looked upon
to keep Scrantons heavy hitters guess
ing. He did so and Harper was obliged
to do his best work In order to keep
things even. Off Moran Scranton got
only five hits for as many bases, but
eight walked to first and two were hit
by pitched balls; Moran was credited
with six strke-outs. Harper permitted
but five hits for nine bases, struck out
four batsmen and walked four to first.
So the pitching honors were about even
ly distributed. Off Moran but one sin
gle and a bunt were made after the
third and off Harper but one hit, a
triple, after the second.
MANY UNEARNED RUNS.
Latham got in the way of one Of
Moran's shoots in the first and limped
to first and reached third on wild
pitch, scoring on Meaney's single. To-
ronto made four runs and got lead Of
three in the second. With one out
Smith reached first on Rafferty's fun
BILE of the formers hunt. Smith stole
second and went to third on Harpers
wild throw to catch him off the bag
and scored on O'Bren's triple. Casey

reached third on Meaney's failure to
stop the hit. Casey came in on Morans

Latham on Griffins single to left, the
latter reaching second on the play.

HE FOUGHT HYENAS.
Harlo Northrop's Exciting Experience in
an Open Crge In Circus Parade in
the Streets Of Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, June 1.-THE
throng attracted by the parade Of Bar
mum e. Bailey's show yesterday morn
ing witnessed thrilling scene on Main
street, opposite the Postal Telegraph
office. Harlo Northrop, the keeper In
charge Of cage Of hyenas. beat into
submission four of the savage brutes
which refused to obey and finally at
tackled him.
When the parade left the circus
grounds and proceeded down State street
Northrop noticed that his charges wsre
restless and ugly and occasionally
snapped at each other. He kept a sharp
watch on them. All went well until the
corner of Main and Wall streets was
reached. There dense crowd had
congregated. At that point the largest
of the four hyenas made a jump at
Northrop.
The keeper was on the alert for just
such a move and stepped aside, at the
same time dealing the animal heavy
blow on the head with the loaded whip
he carried. He followed this with other
blows and drove the brute to the conner.
While this was going on another hyena
made an attempt to pass back of North
rop He prevented this, and after q
struggle drove the animal back into the
corner with the others.
The hyenas first subdued by North
rop had recovered somewhat by this
time from the effects Of the blows. and
all became greatly excited and began to
pace up and down the cage. The par
ade had already passed into Main street.
Northrop is a native Of Bridgeport, and
had many acquaintances and friends In
the crowds along the streets.
After the first attack the crowd had
followed the cage in which the hyenas
were, and the sidewalk and street were
filed.
"Get out Of the cage!" "Givc them the
whip!", and all sorts Of advice were
given to Northrop by his friends. The
young man stood firm, however, and
backed into a corner Of the cage.
At Wall street the four animals made

Wilkes-Barre was the only home team
which failed to pull out victory Satur-
day. OF the winners, Scranton had to
work the hardest to stave off defeat.
The Scranton victory and Wilkes
Barre defeat does not put the former in
sixth position. Such would have been
the case, however. If there had been no
forfeited game Tuesday. Two wins will
have to be credited the Alligators for
that day, Notwithstanding the Scranton
protest. 1t is a matter of record that
Scranton suffered two defeats until the
league directorate decides otherwise.

not end until tomorrow. Syracuse and
Rochester seem due to win today.

THE duty Of the Venezuelan Com
mission is quite simple. 1t is to decide
for the American people just what
territory Spain and Holland respectively
held in the 18th and 18th centuries.
Fortunately, this was not indicated by
any shifting and arbitrary boundaries,
but by great natural marks. The pres
ent belief is that the line accepted by
the two was the eastern bank of the
Essequibo River IF this be true then
there is no doubt as to the lower part of
the line, and the only question will be
to determine which was the principal
tributary of that river, so as to continue
the line to the ultimate headwaters. On
the other hand, England has claimed to
cross the Essequibo, and take in its
whole basin. Then, growing greedier,
she wanted to take in the basin of the
next river. The Venezuelans have never
conceded that she had any rights be-
yond tie eastern bank of the Essequibo.
If the Commission finds this to be true
then we are committed to combining her
to that boundary.

THE attitude Of Congress toward many
appropriations depends upon the fate of
the Revenue Bill now before the Senate.
IF it should pass that body and receive
the approval Of the President, it will at
once put the Treasury in an easy con-
dition, and permit greater llberality in
appropriations than Congress will in
dulge in with our finances as they now
are. Really, everybody wants this, even
the Democratic Congressman, who are
inexpressibly weary of the ECONOMY "
which they have industriously preached,
and which they may still think it de-
sirable to descant upon. They have
sense enough to see that little liberal
ization of the Governments policy now
would do much good toward restoring
confidence and prosperity.
