SCRANTON DEFEATS
PlTTSTON BROTHERS
Best Game Of the Season at Athletic
Park on Saturday Won by a
Score Of 81.

The Scranton semi-professionals won
their best game of the season at Ath-
letic park on Saturday by defeating the
strong Pittston Brothers team, in one
of the cleanest and sharpest contests
ever witnessed on a local diamond. The
thousand or more spectators were kept
busy applauding clever plays and fast
fielding, and there was no let UP until
the winning run was scored in the last
half Of the ninth inning, with one man
out. Then followed succession of hits
which set the fans going, and the end
ing was exceedingly pleasing to all
except the Pittston boys supporters,
who bet heavily and lost on their favor
ties.
The Brothers only run was scored in
the fourth inning when Ed Schmaltz
hit safely, stole second, went to third
on Wirth's passed ball and scored on
an out at first. The features on the
Pttston side were catches of foul flies
by Toy and Ernest Schmaltz. Their
pitcher weakened in the ninth, and al
lowed four hits in succession. Their
all-around playing, however, was the
best seen here this season by visitors.
their two errors being on hard chances.
Gallagher and Griffin were easily the
stars of the home team. The former
made three hits, accepted eight chances
and assisted in two double plays. The
latter allowed but three hits, struck out
five men, had four assists, and made
one of the hits that helped win the
game. The only error was made by
Owns on throw from McCue, and 1t
was an excusable one. Manager Wirth
also played a good game, but his passed
ball was really responsible for Pittston's
only run. However, he deserves much
credit for the excellent games provided
so late in the season, and should be
encouraged in his endeavor to provide
clean base ball for this city.
The correct detailed score Of the game
is as follows:

WILKES-BARRE IS DEAD.
Secretary Seamans Says Business Is
at a Standstill.

"If you want to see a thoroughly dead
town." said Secretary Seamans of the
board of trade on Saturday you want
to take a run down to Wilkes Barre.
Our business here may have fallen off
somewhat because of the strike but the
condition here is not to be compared
with the existing conditions in Wilkes
Barre. Business men are Respondent at
the situation and seem certain that it
will take months for the town to re-
cover after the strike Is over.
This city Is not dependent upon the
coal industry to as great an extent as
Wilkes-Barre is and for that reason we
have not been so much affected by the
suspension of work. We have other in
dustries here, thanks to the foresight
of the board of trade, and our business
interests are therefore safe"
Secretary Seamans had just returned
from an interview In another part of
the state with gentleman who is
ploying about 100 hands and who favor
ably considers the advantages of this
as site. He Is expected on this week
to look over the ground.
Mr.. Seamans believes In the advan-
tages of securing a number of small
industries which will have an opportun-
ity for growth rather than one large
industry with growth already attained,
~ would rather have ten industries
employing 100 men each established
here" said he than one industry en-
ploying 1000 men. The smaller indus
tries. If successful will gradually en-
ploy more hands as the demand in
creases and the final result will be much
better for the city,"

GENERAL PARADE ABANDONED
c. T. A. U. Could Not Get Satisfac-

The parade of the Catholic Total Abb

Scranton Diocesan union, which was to
have been held in West Scranton on
October 10, has been officially declared
off by the board of government because
it has been found impossible to secure
what the board considers Il reasonable"
rate Of fare from the railroad COM
panies.
The Delaware and Hudson company
agreed to sell tickets at half fare from
all points within a radius of fifty miles
of this city except where such reduc-
tion would make the price of ticket
fall below twenty-five cents. No COM
mission whatever on the sale of tickets
would be allowed.
1t is possible that parade of the
local total abstinence societies may be
held on October TO-
meeting of executive committee of

action on the board of governments re-
port, and to decide whether or not the
