JOHN L. AND FlTZ.
Police Prevented the sparring Bout
Between the Two.

New York, July 5.-The exhibition
sparring bout between Robert Fitzsim-
mons and John l.. Sullivan, scheduled
for this afternoon at Ambrose park,
Brooklyn, did not take place. Martin
Julian announced to a large crowd OF
spectators that the police had forbid
den the contest and that therefore the
principals had concluded to withdraw
rather than violate the law.
After Julian had made the announce
ment Sullivan walked on to the plat
form. A warm reception greeted him.
He spoke in about the same strain as
Julian but added that both he and
Fitzslmmons were ready and anxious
for a contest but they would do moth
ing In violation Of the will OF the au-
thorities.
The veterans remarks were roundly
applauded. Fitzsimmons did not make
a speech, but he gave an exhibition
of Greaco- Roman wrestling with Ern-
est Roeber.

DANGER.
Keep to the other side OF the street.

The crowd caught the idea at once
and gave the paraders a glad hand.
This was the experience all along the
streets from the time they left the
building where the sign and bricks
were borrowed
With a blast of bugles and fusilade
of pistol shots, explosion OF cannon
crackers and burst of wild cheering
the game was inaugurated.
Scranton went to the bat but what
they did early in the game isn't worth
chronicling.
In the last Of the third Bottenus got
base on balls. Bonner missed Belts
high fly on a difficult chance. Goeckel
brought both home with as pretty
home run as ever was hit. 1t went
over Meaney's head before he scarcely
knew 1t had started. 1t was certainly
beauty drive. Then, following this,
Walters made a running catch of Cd
wells threatened homer that fairly
set the crowd wild. 1t was catch
| that only comes every Fourth of July.
Score to 4.
In the fourtha bad bound fooled Belts
and made three Dagger out of Boards
single. Bonner's single, Maguire's
| two-bagger and Gunsons single net
ted three runs. Wilkes-Barre couldn't
do anything in their half. Score to 4.
JUST A FEW.
In the fifth the Miners continued the
cannonading. Meaney hit one through
| the pitchers box and scored Walters,
who had forced O'Brien at second on
| bunt. Then Massey scored on a
three-bagger and was himself brought
L. Mo- nbe, cd a1 &c
ee-bagger landed Mcguire.
Massey Muffed Maguire's lightning
throw to catch Belts. Goeckle was hit
| by a pitched ball. Odwells daisy CEN
| ter got through Maguire's legs and al
lowed Belts to score. Goeckle came in
on the double play which put Diggins
and Oddwell out. Score to 6.
| For the remainder of the game
| Wilkes-B Barre did not score, Harper
having them completely at his mercy
and the support being gilt-edged.
Scranton on the other hand kept bang
ing away as the detailed score will
show, until at the end of the ninth
when the smoke had cleared away and
| Harry Merrill was resuscitated. Nine
more earned runs had been added to
| the score.
| Meaney's single in the sixth was
straight through the pitchers box
again and as in the previous inning
Massey's triple scored two men.
In the seventh inning Manville was
substituted for keenan,. Five singles,
a double and a triple was all that was
made off him in three innings.
