DIAMOND DUST.

The third game in the Wilkes-B Barre
Scranton series will be played here this
afternoon. On account of the circus, the
game will not begin until T. 10 O'Clock. This
will permit an attendance at both at
fractions, as the circus grounds are but a
minutes walk from the park. At the hour
named the circus performance will be
nearly ended.
Harper is due to pitch, and according to
the Improvement shown in his last game
ought 10 pitch Sheehan or Roach, the
Wilkes-Rarre twirlers, to a standstlll
Easan has about recovered from his boil
attiiction, and will return to left field
Manager Griffin said last night that Fallon
Will probably pitch one of today's games.
Gllon, who, like Eagan, has been suf-
fering from boil for nearly a week, was
able to walk about during yesterday and
will probably pitch one of the Monday
genes.
Concerning the Stars, the following ap-
peared in the Syracuse Courier: ALEX
Whitehill has been relased Kuntzsch
and Buckenherger both say that every
thing is lovely between them. Grove goes
on the bench and Tommy Bannon goes
back into left field. Horton. the Balti-
more twirler, will probably play with the
Stars, I1eZotte will continue to play first
until new man is signed. Meanwhile
Shearon will stay"
Manager Rowe, Of the Buffalo Base Ball
club yesterday dispensed with the SER
vices OF two of his twirlers. Kid Greg
ory who is now et his home in Indiana
where he was called by the Illness of a
relative, has been released outright, while
Pitcher Bailey has been loaned to the
Palmyra team of the State league. 1t Is
understood that Manager Rowe reserves
the right to recall Bailey at any time he
may need him, but II is not thought that
II will be necessary to Insist upon this
privilege, as 1t is believed Wadsworth

MEANEY AGAIN.

Meaney distinguished himself again
by making an unexpected catch OF
Sharrott's fly and doubling Coakley at
first.
O'Brien singled and Beard followed
with smash toward third and at
Smith who was pardoned for his failure
to stop it. O'Brien reached third on
the hit and Beard reached second on
the throw-in. Daily hit to center for a
base, scoring O'Brien. Beard could
easily have reached the plate but mis-
judged the distance of the ball and
slowed down. He was put out on
Belts assist to Diggins. Daily reaching
second on the play and going to third
on Massey's ont from Coakley TO
Goeckel. Bonner was thrown out at
first.
Score &c.
The HaronS began the ninth with
slight hopes of scoring the needed run.
Goecl1el famed and Belts singled but
was forced by Odwell at second on
MaEuire's speedy assist to Bonner. Cd
well went to second on Mills fungo
over short and scored on Diegins' sim
gle. Smith went out from Bonner to
Massey.
With Mcguire disposed of, Boyd sim
gled and went to second on passed
bail. Wellner flew out to Belts. Mea-
ney hit what seemed would be a safe
one over Sharrott's head but the latter
got it with his two hands upstretched
and thus ended the game.

1t is current rumor in Wilkes-Barre that
number of the Jolly Ten" a coterie of
well-to-do business men, are ready to as
sumo the ownership of the club at any
time. The present team is not by any
means as strong as that OF last year and
1t Is being given poor patronage, SO poor
in fact that the proceeds ere falling way
below expenses and the club Is kept going
only by public subscription
When Bonner first went to bat yester-
day he received from Umpire Keefe
fine silk umbrella encased in leather and
with a sllver-tipped natural wood handle.
A card attached to the gift indicated mere
ly that 1t was from IAN admirer." Bon
ner failed to respond with safe hit, but
he did the next best thing, made what
should have been a force hit but, whlch
coaxed az error from NILS.
Coakley admitted after the game that 1t
was "a lucky win.
The paid admissions in Scranton exceed
ed those in Wiikes-Barre by 247
Quite a number Of Wilkes-Barre people
rooted a%ainst their own team.
Scranton and Buffalo are the only clubs
that have won at least one game FROM
every other club in the league.
Manager "Billy" Barnie says he Is more
than satisfied with the present place, and
believes he has a team that Will make
much better showing than any other
Brooklyn club has for many seasons. 1t
never did take much to satisfy Barnie.-

The Wilkes-Barre directors box and its
group of chewing occupants, continues to
be one of the sources of amusement at the
Wilkes es-Barre-Scranton games. One of the
curiosities of the Eastern league circuit
Is the speaking tube which leads from the
box to the home bench.
That man Eagan in the left garden for
Scranton is fast enough for the big league
all right. He covers remarkably large
territory and covers it accurately and
gracefully. More than that, he can hit
the ball with the best of them in this
league. And better yet, he is a quiet,
unassuming player minding his own busl-
ness all the time and paying attention to
nothing but the game. We're stuck on

stlll continues to deny as persistently as
ever that there IL any truth in any of
the many rumors that Buffalo will enter
the National league. He says that no
National league club can be located in
Buffalo without his consent, and that has
not been asked, let alone given. 1t Is very
probable that Brush and Talbert, the two
theatrical promoters who are looking after
a transfer of the Cleveland franchise,
would like to get a club in a city with such
prospects as Buffalo.

PECULIAR PLAY.

In the Scranton half, Bonner flew
ont to center and Mcguire hit one
through the infield for a base. Boyd
flew out to Belts and Wellner smashed
long grounder between Goeckel and
first base the hit netting two sacks
and advancing Mcguire to third. Then
developed a peculiar play In which a
run was made. Meaney hit a grounder

ball 10 first and retired the side but
he took chance on swapping tine bail

Wellncr. The latter, however. had

is hard at work. Threshers report
that the general average for wheat
can be placed at about twenty bushels
with rye not quite so good. Core for
the most part is of vigorous growth,
and promises we'll. A good rain Mon

tire county, almost insures the early

prices, it is better to have a big crop
with no prices, than to have no crop
