SCRANTON TAKES ONE.
Paterson Defeated by Hard Hitting
and an Almost Errorless Game.
The Umpiring Was
All Right.

Scranton gave fine exhibition OF
ball playing at the park yesterday af-
ternoon. McDermott umpired and did
his work well. Every one was salts
fed; no one had a kick coming.
We won by clean, hard, fast ball
playing. If Scranton plays such ball
every day we are bound to draw big
crowds.
There were some changes in the bat
ting again yesterday. Knoll was
again in center field and Gallagher,
Third ward boy. was on second. Gal
laSher's playing won for him admira-
tion from those who witnessed yester-
days game. He played an crrOrless
game. made one run, had five assists
and one put out In the ninth inning
he was presented with "A beautiful
bouquet of roses. Gallagher will be
seen on the second bag again this af-
tcrnoon
Scranton was the first to face the
pitcher The starting was good.
Knoll got his base on balls, Dillon
reached first on an error by Frye. Eag-
an lined out two-bagger. Doherty
followed with single and McMahon
and Thackara did likewise. We closed
the inning with four runs to our credit
Knoll scored another in the second.
In the fourth and fifth we made one
each and then rested until the ninth.
when Lippert made a three base hit
and Dillon a single, which gave US
two more. Paterson did not score
until the third. Singles by Reilly.
Ladd and Frye and double by Thorn
ton scored for the Jersey men three
runs.
They stopped here and never saw
the home plate again. Keenan, pitched
fine, steady game for Scranton, while
for Paterson, Frye pitched equally as
well.
The game from start to finish was
base ball in every sense of the word
There was no kicking or fault-tinding.
The attendance was POO. The score:

DIAMOND PICK UPS.

Gallagher can play ball.
Gallagher will cover the second bag
again today.
What a difference a good honest umpire
like MCDermott makes,
"kasty" Wright Is out of 1t for good.
lie was not resigned as reported.
scranton ought not to be discouraged
We draw larger crowds than Paterson
and Lancaster.
The following compliment is credited
to the sporting editor Of the Wilkes
Barre Record: "Knoll, of Scranton, is
about rs lucky chap as one ever sees on
the diamond, Judging from his experience
on the bases last week
Scranton, commencing tomorrow, will
play abroad. The club will not return to
Scranton until we play with the Barons
on May %. On the morning of Memorial
Day the clubs will play here and in the
afternoon at Wilkes Barre.
Knoll was greatly missed in Thursdays
game. Gilbert played the position well,
but still he was not the faithful Knoll
Gilbert is gaining a reputation a. a field
er, but when it comes TO handling the
stick, running and stealing bases, he is
not in ltnolls class.
Tho Paterson club drew exactly forty
two paid admissions TO see the Lancds-
ters ON Wednesday, and the town seems
10 be dead, Frank Ward In coaching
yelled "the town must be ball crazy, see
the crowds" and the small bunch of
Cranks were obliged to smile The
Paterson club is severely criticised by the
home newspapers, who say the men play
without signals and use no headwork,
The Call gives this free advice: Get to-
gethcr boys, and start in with the de-
termination that you can win, and victo-
ries will come easy The result will
readily be seen at the box office, Win
today'5 game from Lancaster and then
get two out of three from the Maroons
on their own dunghill and the crowd next
