The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-07-09
Right From the Bat.

IT HERE WAS plenty of excitement
on the diamond during the week.
n and it was probably the scrappi-
est period of the season. July was cell
ebrated in great style by Jack Doyle of
the New Yorks who assaulted Umpire
Emslie. who in return inflicted con-
siderable damage on the peppery first
baseman's countenance, and at
Rochester by a lively tilt between
Manager Buckenberger of Rochester
and Barrow, of Toronto. The two men
had a red hot argument over the for
feiture of the morning game to
Rochester, in which Barrow called
Buck several names which, to say the
least were not pet ones. Later he
struck the Rochester man in the face
with his fist. The case was settled be-
fore local magistrate.
In Detroit, July 3, there was con-
siderable excitement also, in the game
with Buffalo. Dick Harley, as gentle
manly a player as is on the diamond
electrified everyone by being put out
of the game for using violent language
to Umpire Dwyer.
Little kid" Elberfield, also con-
tributed a good deal of excitement to
the general melee by engaging in sew
eral alterations with Second Baseman
Atherton of the Bsons. The big ex-
Wilkes-B showed the little
Detroit man off second base several
times pretty roughly, and once flung
him completely off his feet, at which
the scrappy little fellow made a jump
at Atherton, making a vicious attempt
TO spike him.
Frank Dillon is playing magnificent
ball at Detroit, and is fielding first
base in grand style. Tho eX-Scranton
boy is also hitting the ball finely.
Milligan, late Of Scranton, is having
hard luck at Buffalo and has not won
a game yet. In every game he has
played he himself has batted splend-
idly and in Tuesdays game at Detroit
lined out a great three bagger.
Schreckengost, who caught last wear
for Cleveland and st. Louis is being
played in right field by Buffalo during
Jake Gettman's absence from the
game. The man with the barbed wire
name is playing a good fielding game
and hitting the ball like another
Lajoie.
There was remarkable game PLAYED
at Richmond, Ind, last Sunday he
tween the All Kentuckians and the
Richmond team. 1t took twenty innings
to play the game and in all that time
not run was scored up to the twen-
tieth inning when the colonels scored
three. The Kentucky first baseman
accepted thirty chances having twen-
ty-eight put outs and two assists.
Dries. second baseman on the same
team had eight putouSs, twelve assists
and one error Catcher Haberer had a
two-bagger and five singles in eight
times at bat and four put outs and
eight assists. The Richmond team had
eight hits and five errors, while the
victors had eleven safe whacks and
but three errors. The game was wen
by Dries, who smashed out a home
run, when two men were on bases and
there We're two out. Pretty good work
that for amateur teams.
Archie Stimmel, the elongated, slim
pitcher who twirlad for Allentown this
season has been signed by Cincinnati
and made his debut Tuesday against
New York after Bccitenstell had left
the box. The man with the smile, as
Scranton fans knew him. pitched
Bplendidly and held the Giants down 10
one run. Stimmel certainly is a good
pitcher. He has ilne curves, terrific
speed and excellent control. In Tues
days game he also made himself
solid with the fans by making a time
ly single which sent in two runs.
stimmel proved a mystery to the
Scranton team for a couple Of games
this season, but in the last two times
lhat sA faced Burnham's men he re-
