DIAMOND DUST.

Jesse Burkett allows a fiery tongue to
impair his playing value.
Jack Barry is needed right here in
Buffalo and he should under no circum-
stances be released or traded" says the
Buffalo Enquirer
1t is reported that the Reading club,
of the Atlantic league has signed A.
Maui, the famous Pittsburg wall flower.
Dick Harley has a broken finger.
Swartwod is as good an umpire as there
is in the business. He makes mistakes,
but as general thing he's on the Gin
side" of every play.-Toronto Globe. The
Globe knows a good thing.
"Scranton's energy in staying in the
league is to be commended, but 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the team can
go another season. "-Sprlngfield Repub-
lican. The Republican is respectfully in
formed that Scranton will "stay."
Tommy johnson will today make his
1897 debut in the box for Scranton The
nature of his work will cut quite a
figure in the future makeup of the pitch
ing corps When Johnson is Johnson
there's none better Here's luck to him.
Beard played In yesterdays Syracuse
disaster. Scheibeck's appearance in left
field in place of Bannon confirms the sus-
picion that the latter Is TO be benched or
released In favor of Jack O'Brien, who
Joins the Stars in Toronto today. We
told you so.
In general comment on farming, and
in reference to Beard and Boyd, the
Springfield Union recently says: ITS q
ten to one shot their names will be found
on the reserve list of Rochester's Big
Three this fall And that's farming "
The release of Beard to Syracuse Friday
night is sufficient answer to the Union s
comment. This paper has several times
this season been responsible for the
statement that there was not a farm
hand on the Scranton club. We reiterato
it.
Everyone will be glad to hear that the
Scranton management will cling to the
franchise until the season is over. Direc-
tor Brooks is one of the best fellows in
the business and deserves great credit
for the nerve displayed at this critical
time. The team has been doing poor
work, and with better coaching would
have proven one of the strongest aggre-
cations in the league. Nearly all the
men are hard hitters, but unfortunately
they have played a loose sort of game

JOHN L. SULLIVAN TO UMPIRE.
He Will Steer the Scranton-SprlnS-
field Game Tomorrow.

After untirng effort the Scranton
base ball club management has sue
ceeded in getting John L. Sullivan's
name to contract to umpire the
Scranton Springfield game tomorrow.
The role of umpire is comparatively
new 10 Sullivan. His work in Scranton
will be his first appearance in an East
ern league city. The big fellow has
been wonderfully successful with his
umpiring Players all over have been
quick to preceive that his eye Is as
quick and accurate as ever, and he has
thoroughly mastered all the details of
the game.
The time was when John L. Sullivan
used to come to Scranton that no hall
could be found large enough to accom-
modate the immense crowds. Popular
as he was in those days of his prime,
he is equally so today, and he has a
warmer spot in the hearts of the great
American public than either Corbett
or Fitzsimmons.
The game will be called at 3,45 p. m.

O'BRIEN AND WELLNER RELEASED.
The Former Has Been Signed for tn G
Syracuse OutfieId.

Jack" OBrien, rightfielder, and
Pitcher Wellner were released from the
Scranton Base Ball club Saturday
night. O'Brien has been secured by
Syracuse and left last night to join
that club at Toronto. Wellner has no
immediate engagement in prospect.
O'Brien's and Wellner's releases, fol-
lowing that of Boards Friday night.
confirm The Tribune's recent declara-
tions that there was to be a general
shake-up on the team. O'Brien has
not. however. been released for dissipa-
tion. Recently he has not been play
ing good ball and that fact together
with Manager Griffin's determination
to get in the outfield made O'Brien's
retention on the club impossible. His
record to date is as follows: 73 games,
2S3 at bat, GA runs, S5 hits, 134 outs, %
assists, q errors; batting average,
9OO fielding average, SS1.
IT is presumed that O'Brien Is wanted
to take the place of Bannon in the
Syracuse outfield. Bannon's fielding
has been very poor of late and his STICK
work has been anything but good.

AMATEUR BASE BALL.
Observation-Disclosures.

The Harmonies defeated the Lacka-
wannas yesterday afternoon. The Lacka-
wannas have not this year put up such
a poor fielding game, and they were like
ice wagons on the bases, while the Har-
monies played the best game they have
this season, playing snappy ball from
start to finish. The Lackawannas could
have won the game in the ninth inning
ment at the plate. The star feature IF
the game was McGinnss' work in left
field. The Lackawannas claim they did
not get the benefit of close decisions.
