ELEVEN INNINGS.
Barry's Error and Singles by Massey
..;.. and Mcguire Gave the Min.
...... ers The Game.

After getting an easy lead and hold
ing 1t up to the eighth with the excep-
tion Of one inning the Bisons were
beaten out in a bruising finish in the
eleventh inning yesterday afternoon.
Excepting the threatening weather
which delayed the start twenty minutes
It was the most evenly contested and
one of the most exciting games seen at
Athletic park this year.
With the score 5-5 since the eighth
inning Barry fumbled Bonner's easy
grounder and the winning run was
scored on singles by Massey and Ma
guire after two hours and fifteen min
utes of play. In some respects it was
a peculiar game. Up to the finish it
was a toss.up as to whether Wellner
or MCPartlin had pitched the better.
Each had given hits for the same
number of bases but the Bison had
permitted a punching in the fourth
and eighth and gave the Miners an
accepted chance to tie the score in
each case.
Probably in no other instance this
year has there been a game with no
putouts for one of the outfields; GER
tainly not in an extra-inning game
like that Of yesterday and in which the
Scranton out-gardners had nary an
opportunity to make an out. In fact
there was only one chance, an assist
by Eagan. The two errors made were
of the unmistakable kind and there was
not doubtful piece of scoring in the
whole argument.
SOME FAST WORK.
1t might have been all over for either
club in the customary number of in
nings but for the fastest kind of fast
field work early in the game by ely
mer and Gilboy for the Bisons and
BEARD, Bonner and Massey for the
Miners. In the first three innings Cly-
mer had four and Gilboy three of the
rine putouts and when the game closed
those two wonders had by unusual
speed and good judgment made nearly
half of their teams thirty putouts.
There was another peculiar feature.
Up TO the seventh inning Beard and
Massey had made all but two of
Scranton's eighteen outs and the two
exceptions were strikeouts.
The Miners tried to change their
luck by going first into the field
Fields single was Buffalo's only ac-
complshment in the first chapter and
Scranton was retired with an equiva-
lent honor, a hit by Walters. Glboy's
single, Greminger's sacrifice. Barry's
life and Zahners single gave Buffalo
one in the second. In the third Cly-
mer and Grey singled. Fields and
Grey were material for a double play.
Clymer was on third when your Uncle
Samuel got a walk. Clymer got in and
after accomplishing his object your
uncle was tagged out on a double steal.
Meanwhile in the second and in the
third the Miners had gone down one
two-six on five outfield flies and an
infield assist
Gilboy singled but got only as far as
second in the fourth.
The Miners tied the talley in the last
half of the fourth on doubles by Wal
ters and Beard and Eagan's single
with one out. With two out in the
fifth Rowe's crowd tailed twice on
Grays double. walk by Diamond
Jim" Fields and Uncle Wise's two
baser to left-center. A single was the
Bison's only portion in the sixth and
seventh. The Miners singled twice in
the fifth and might have scored but
for a flash of Gilboy's red hair and
splendid catch of foul fly near
the left field fence. The locals could
only muster a single by Eagan In the
sixth and one by Bonner in the sew
-enth.
Wise tailed one and made the score
5-2 In the eighth on his double, Gil
boys bunt and fielder's choice on
Greminger's grounder.
TIED BY MINERS IN EIGHTH
The Miners did better and got three,
tieing the score. With one out OBrlen
singled, Walters made a two baser and
the circuit filled on a pass to Beard.
EagHn singled in two runs and Bonner
few out. Beard scored on Massey 3
single, but Eagan was caught off third
on Massey's steal.
, Only three Bisons faced Welner in
the ninth, In the tenth Wise flew out
20 Beard, Gilboy singled and Gre
minger flew out to Bonner. Barry
singled to left but Gilboy tried base
tco many and went out on a tag be-
tween second and third. Boards sin
gle in the tenth was all that developed
for the Miners in that and the pre-
ceding inning.
The eleventh opened with Zahner at
bat. His fly to Bonner and assists
by Beard and Mcguire retired the side.
A frightful din was being made by
the crowd when the Scranton half
opened and Barry fumbled Bonner's
grounder 1t was an easy chance but
Barry could not recover the ball I'm
time TO even attempt an assist. Massey
singled Bonner to second from where
