BASE HITS.

Buffalo is coming-down.
Wellner and Boyd will do the battery
work today.
None of the visiting teams can brag
much anyhow on their showing during
the present trip.
Meaney, If he does not pitch today in
Syracuse, will probably be in the box
here on Thursday.
Scranton is below 800 per cent. for the
first time since the season opened. Ihe
Miners won't be there long.
Now is the time when knockin or
rootin' tells. Every club has its slide.
The Miners are havin' theirs now. Keep
a rootin'!
Jesse Burkett's batting lamps are be-
ginning to burn brighter, and they will
develop an X ray CLINT before the season
has reached the half.
There are likely to be several important
switches in the Baltimore club next sea-
son through the medium of deals to be
made through the winter.
Jimmy Donnelly promises to be sta
tionary after he RECEIVERS from his period
ical. In the interum the Pirates are de-
bilitated at the third corner.
Billy Lush is the idol of the sun gods
on the Toronto grounds. Billy has given
up his attempt to cultivate left-handed
hitting, and is batting from the right side.
Jack Fallon, the pitcher released by
now been released from the latter club
and has returned to his home in this city.
In touching the runner on throws to
second base little Ritchey, of the Reds,
refuses to break ground even for the
heavy-wsights, such as Bill Lange or
Delehanty.
Earl is hitting just at present a little
harder than any other man on the Star
team. AS his fielding is of superlative
orfer the brace in hitting is very apropos,
Syracuse Standard.
The Stars, on their own grounds, have
won two straight from Scranton, but the
fact should not be forgotten that we
trimmed them three times running in the
opening games at Athletic park.
Pop" Morse was very sick when sent
home on the Black Diamond express from
Rochester Saturday, but he has improved
since reaching home and may be able ia
pitch a game this week or early next
week.
Owing to the fact that Doheny, the left
handed pitcher of the Giants was guilty
of characterization, he was suspended
Sunday by President Freedman until such
time as the latter thinks the player has
been sufficiently disciplined.

WALC0TT.TRACY BOUT.
COlored Boy and Australian Put Up
n Lively Battle.

Philadelphia, June 14.--Joe Walcott,
the Boston colored boy, and Tom Tracy,
of Australia, We're the star attraction
at the Arena tonight and fought six
lively and interesting rounds. Walcott
showed up the smaller, but both men
appeared to be in good form.
Throughout the bout the colored boy
was the aggressor and succeeded in
landing his faVorite swings on the body
and neck a number of times. Clinches
were frequent all through the fight, but
in the breakaway both men fought
clean. In the third round after a
clinch and breakaway Walcott landed
heavy left on Toms wind and sent
him to the floor. Tracey was on his
feet q moment afterwards and seemed
glad when the gong almost immedi-
ately announced the close of the round.
The fourth round ended with honors
almost even and in the fifth, after a
number of light exchanges Tom got in
| number of uppercuts ON Wnlcott,
which seemed to anger the colored boy,
A rafting hot exchange of blows fol-
| lowed and both men fell to the floor
| together. The last round ended after
several clinches and a light exchange
| followed by Walcott pushing Tracey
hard, the latter putting up a good re-
sistance. There was no decision.
A number of preliminary bouts pre-
ceded the fight between Tracey and
Walcott.

THE FREAK WHIST HAND.


Concerning the Scranton freak
hand, discussed last week. the follow
ing additional opinions have been re-
ceiVed:
Major General A. w. Drayson, the
noted English authority, says: IF I
decided to play a daring game 1 would
lead the diamond-five, a safer lead
would be the heart-four." This opin-
ion as to the safe or conservative lead
Is opposite to the general idea of our
American whisters, who regard the dia-
mond-flve as the most conservative.
The following by f. G. Howell, in the
Boston Herald, is a most thorough dis
cussion of the hand:
"Some weeks ago the Herald whist
man received a request for an opinion
on the best opening from the hand:
Hearts Ctrump), ace, king, 9, 4; clubs,
ace; diamonds, ace, jack, s, 5, 2; spades
ace, 8, 2. Since the request was re-
ceived several able players have been
consulted on the subject, and their
Views have been so diverse that the
Herald whist man has been able tc
gather little definite from them. Thers
are not less than six plausible open

STILL THEY LOSE.
The Miners Were 10 the Game, but
.. the Timely Hitting Was
by the Stars.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Syracuse, N. Y, June 1.-THE Stars
defeated Scranton today by timely hit
ting. Willis was found by the Miners
during the first two innings, but for
the remaining seven only two hits were
made off his delivery. Harper was wild
to open on, but his wildness cost only
one run.
In the third and eighth Harper was
hit but still would have won his game
could the Miners have found the ball
at critical periods. The first four men
at bat in the first inning took first on
balls. Harper could not steer them
over straight and slow. That made a
run and promise for more, but a pop
up and q double play kept one the
total. After that first inning Harper
let only two men to first on balls.
SCRANTON RUNS.
While the Stars pegged the first one,
Scranton pegged twice by hard hitting.
Eagan made a two-baser on the first
ball pitched, and Beard sent him home
with a single.
In the second Bonner doubled and
Gunson singled him home.
O'Brien singled in the third and stole
second, but no one after could help him
along. For three innings every Scran-
tonian at bat went out on infield hits
and for three innings more Mcguire
was the only Miner to hit. The only
