Wilkes-Barre here this afternoon.
Gillon and Gunson will be the battery.
Wilkes-Barre has won but two out of
six games with Scranton.
Manager Griffin was the middle man in
deal which lands Scott Stratton with
Reading. Stratton is the Outhelder
dropped by Springfield ia this city last
week. Stratton was pitcher when IN
the National league and may do some
twirling for Reading.
The Wilkes-Barre Record In cogitat-
ing upon the light attendance in Scran-
ton is consuming q lot Of energy that
might better be turned toward the
Wilkes-Barre attendance. There We're
less than 400 persons on the grounds yes
terday. It's a sure thing that twice that
number will pay admissions here this af-
ternoon IL the weather Is as fine as 1t
was at WilkesBarre yesterday.
The Rochester big three are going to
play Jim Corbett on first against Toronto
Wednesday. This cheap gag made
money for Scranton and so Rochester
tries II. We trust Syracuse will not
obliged to. The Stars can play Sunday
ball and juggle the schedule and make
a few extra dollars without a Corbett at
traction. If the Standard believes Cor
,bett is a "cheap gsg" it is mistaken.
"Of all the stupid and inconsistent
rules, and there have been many or them
in the base ball statute the earned run
farce is the worst have ever encoun-
tered" remarked Captain Tom Brown.
This rule is supposed to serve to show
the ability of pitcher, but II does moth
ing of the kind. We will take, for ex-
ample, a young pitcher fresh from the
minor league ranks, who has one of those
slow, hayseed swings that give a base
runner plenty of time to steal bases.
This pitcher with the hayseed swing
looks like a BOBBY when fast men are on
the bases, and enough stolen bases are
made off him to materially aid In giving
the other side a victory. But as stolen
bases are no factors in earned runs, this
job lot twirler from the minors may have
less earned runs made off him than off
Mercer, Griffith, Nichols or any of the
leading pitchers in the major league. One
thing or the other ought to be done with
the earned run rule, suppress 1t entirely
or make II consistent"

cORBETT AND JOHN l..
Washington Player Discusses Them1'
and Wakes Reminiscent.

Jim Corbett and his scranton per-
formance was commented upon In this
wise by Mcguire, OF the Washington
club:
$50 Jim Corbett has switched from
the ring to the emerald diamond, eh?"
remarked Jim Mcguire. Il suppose
Corbett thinks he will draw enough
money during the summer as freak
ball player to turn him a few thousands
till next show season opens. hear he
drew a pretty fair crowd at Scranton
in the game he played as first baseman
on the Scranton team the other day.
But he will not draw the money on the
ball field that passed the turnstlle when
John l.. Sullivan, in his flower OF glory
played in exhibition games. 1 caught
the Boston Big I'm in game at
Rochester during the brotherhood year.
when the Rochester team was in the old
American association. l guess he drew
5000 TO that game.
John came on the field after the play
ers of both teams had finished their
practice He wore one of Jimmy
Knowles uniforms. The neck OF the
shirt fit him about at the wishbone OF
the chest, and ends of the sleeves FIN
ished at the funny bone on his elbow.
John had trained at the hotel bar for
the performance, and when j passed
him the ball this speech came out of the
corners of his mouth, Say, there, Mac;
there are going to be some stiffs car
ried off this lot today, so you might as
well ring for an undertaken at once
The first ball he sent up to me sailed
over my head and mingled with the
whiskers of General Brinker, the owner
of the club, who sat in the grand stand
behind the back stop. Look out, there,
whiskers, or I'll give you another
shaver yelled John to the general,
when he found that the old gentleman
! wasn't hurt.
John has a record in that game that
stood for the season in the associa-
| tion. He struck out nine men in three
innings, and hit the next three with
the ball. 1t wasn't Johns command
| of the ball or curves, but fear of los
| ing a row of teeth or a nose, that
prompted the batsmen to strike the
| wind with their bats. John quite at
the end of the sixth, and as he walked
off the field the crowd called for a
speech, and John got back with his
yours truly finish.
Ladies, gentlemen, ushers, peanut
boys, and ball players he began, I've
gone six innings. and have been pitch
ing all kinds of balls to these fellows.
I'm a pretty rotten actor but a worse
pitcher. To be on the level with you
couldn't put a ball over sewer
top or a clothes basket, AS I've got
through pitching balls for the rest OF
the gang. ] guess I'll go to the bar and
throw a few high balls in yours truly,
John J.. Sullivan
