DIAMOND DUST.
Rochester today.

Rochester today
It's getting interesting.
Bad days for the first division.
WilkesBarre has released Jim DAILY.
Springfield was the only home club to
lose.
Morse and Boyd will be this afternoons
battery.
Wilkes-Barre won it's first game from
Syracuse.
The successful pitchers in the big league
are pitching every third day.
Stafford is playing an excellent sho-t
field for Louisville and is batting hard.
Fred Peffef, dropped by Chicago, is
wanted by Kansas City and Louisville.
Bonner may make his hundredth hit
today. He had 81 to his credit last night
Herman Long, of the Bostons, is play
ing by far the best shortstop in the big
league.
Considering that Doescher has umpired
but a few games this season his work
yesterday was all right
The recall of Danny Friend from a
minor league has greatly strengthened
Chicago's pitching corps.
1t is a strange fact that in almost ev-
cry game Mcmahon pitches for Brooklyn
he receives ragged support.
Lynch got hit and two bases on a ball
that dropped back of third. 1t fooled
Mcguire and he started for it too late.
Dahlen, of the Chicagos, may not play
on his leg, and an operation is necessary.
Arlie Latham, after unsuccessfully try
ing to umpire in the Western league, has
concluded to give up base ball for the
vaudeville stage.
Buck Ewing has written a letter to
Nick Young. asking to have his old bat
terry partner, Tim Keefe, given another
chance as an umpire
Massey made a difficult catch of a foul
fly in the eighth inning that may have
had much to do with the result. There
was runner on second and but one out.
Hanlon has released all of the pitchers
who helped Baltimore to win the cham
pionship in 1884, They are Hemming, Nc
Mahon, Gleason, Esper Clarkson and
Brown.
Boards three hits out of four times at
bat and twelve accepted chances earned
his salary and more than made amends
for his absence from the first game on
Wednesday.
"Scrappy" Joyce sends word to New
York that the Giants will pass Baltimore
next week. But "Scrappy'' is a diplo-
mat. Has any one ever caught up with
next" week?
The Syracuse Courier thinks that Far
mer Brown is just a bit too good for the
Eastern league That's certainly a good
guess.-Buffalo Express. But this para
graph would look better If Brown hadn't
pitched for Providence yesterday.
Sullivan will not be here to umpire Sat
urday's game, as was intended. He is
booked to umpire at Providence Sunday
and would be unable to make railroad
connections. He may be able to be here
next Thursday, an open date, to umpire
game between Scranton and Syracuse.
Mcguire is the only Miner who has
played all the innings in the sixty games
Bonner has played in all the games, but
retired in the eighth inning of one of the
games with Wilkes-Barre. Beard was
injured during the first of Wednesdays s
games with Buffalo and was unable to
| play I'm the second game.
| We will gladly exchange Swartwood for
| Gruber. We cannot get a worse deal
| In not single instance on record dur
| ing the past three years has Swartwood
given Scranton the best of it.-Scranton
Republican. So Scranton must have 1.-The
| best OF it, to be satisfied? Swartwood
never had stronger Endorsement than this
| statement gives Springfield Union.
