Then Is Batted Hard.
EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING.

In spite of the threatening weather
yesterday afternoon there was good
attendance at the Providence Wilkes
barre game at Adelaide Park The Grays
were defeated. but they played re-
markably strong game and kept the
visitors hustling all the time TO main
tain their lead. Evans for four innings
pitched In fine form, but after that he
weakened and the Coal Barons batted
him pretty much as they pleased. Pat
ton, who was on the slab for the visit
ors was effective until the sixth,
when the Graybacks gauged his de-
livery successfully and did some enec-
tive stick work. A single base on balls
given by Evans to Coughlin. In the last
half OF the second inning was followed
by fly from Smiths bat, which struck
on the top OF the left field fence, and
went for two bases, sending Coughlin
in with the only run that was scored In
the first four innings Evans struck out
five different men OF the Wilkesbarre
team In those four innings. and all but
one were struck out with men on bases.
Three singles and two bagger were
the result of Evans weakening IN the
fifth Inning and on them the visitors
scored two runs. The home team tied
the score in the first half OF the sixth
inning, which .Canavan opened with
hot grounder to Mcmahon. The latter
fumbled IL an instant, and when he
looked up saw Canavan going like
streak OF lightning down the base line.
He made a hurried throw, and the ball
went to the bleachers, and Canavan
went to- third base. Murray tapped a
clean hit to left field. and Canavan
scored. Crisham sent fly to right
field and IL was mufred. The ball was
thrown in to the diamond, but Murray
went right on to third base. and when
the Barons saw what he was doing.
they seemed TO be ratified. Murray gain
ed third base, and Crisham went down
to second with the ball on the ground.

Frank Phillips, Is years OF, age; an

lost his life yesterday afternoon by the
capsizing of a rowboat at HilIs wharf,
and he was drowned before assistance
could reach him. Owing to the fact
that there was no work for Phillips
after 10 a. IN. he was at leisure to
amuse himself, and In the afternoon, in
company with Thomas Mulvey. IA years
of age. who resides at No. So Crary
street, he decided to row on the river.
The two lads started from the west
gas house about O'Clock. and had gone
but a short distance when they were
hailed from the shore by Michael Nc
Cam. OF No. 142 Globe street. and they
turned the boat toward the shore TO
take him on board, at Hills wharf.
Just as they were about To make the
landing the boys got too near the same
side OF the boat and II went over
throwing them both into the river. Null
vey struck out and found no trouble In
reaching the shore.
Phillips. however, could not swim a
stroke. and he went down before assist
ancc could reach him, although Nc
Cam leaped into the water and did
what he could to save his friend, but
he only succeeded in almost losing ms
own life, for he became so week, nam
pered as he was by his clothes, that he
had barely strength enough TO grasp
board that was thrown to him from the
wharf The tide was running very
strong at the place where the accident
occurred and the body of Philips
quickly disappeared.

notified. and Lieut.. Lawrence and Oh

was kept up we'll into the might no
trace of the body could be found.
At $50 o'clock this morning James

Tried to Assault Detective Parker, but

Detective Parker late yesterday af-

is, according to the statements of the
police, pretty hard character, for
making brutal assault with black
jack on John j. Beard, the proprietor

descending upon his head. Stunned
and bleeding he turned upon his as

panion fed. Beard at once rushed to
the door and called for aid. Detective
Parker happened to be passing at that
moment and taking in the situation in
an instant, rushed by Beard and start
ed after Taber. The latter was over
taken and attempted to again use ms
blackjack but Mr.. Parker made short
work of him. and he was soon behind
the bars.
Mr.. Beard had his wounds dressed by
DR.. Budlong, who found two gashes on
his head, one OF which required two
stitches TO close 1t. The victim thinks
Tabers motive was robbery. but Taber
says Beard used insulting language to
him. and that was the reason he struck
him. The police place very little faith
i'm Taber's story, for they claim that
he has served considerable time for
burglary and larceny. and was once
sentenced for five years for entering
Julia Bullock's residence. He escaped
from the prison, was recaptured and
was given an additional five years.
