j. W. sHANNoN's EXPERIENCE.
Has Marrow Escape from Dangerous
injury in Runaway.

John w. Shannon, the well-known
merchant, is thankful that he Is alive,
or, at least, not dangerously injured.
Yesterday afternoon he was placing
some merchandise in a wagon In front
of his stone, on Salem avenue. His
horse became frightened and made a
dash to go west. Mr.. Shannon gave a
clutch at the reins and hung on. The
horse tore down Salem avenue to River
street. disregarding all of the restrain
ing influence exerted by the dead
weight of the man, who held fast while
he was thumped over the pavement. At
Main street, Mr. Shannon was forced
to leave go, and was thrown heavily.
Near the new coal chutes the animal
collded with a pole, which checked his
speed and called a halt on his wild
career.
When Mr.. Shannon and his friends
took an inventory of his condition they
discovered lacerated flesh and bruises
about his arm and limbs that will cause
him some discomfort and pain for sew
eral days. He suffered considerably
from the shake-up he received by be-
ing thrown when he became entangled
in the reins and had no way of pre-
serving himself from the inevitable
toss.

year or any future year. Armors are
being polished up and Saturday the

The Indians this season will be better
than ever if signs count for anything
and already defiance has been issued
to any team in the state. AS for

the canallers down to six hits during
the nine innings he pitched. 1t was a
12-inning game. Dougher was hit for

cREscENTs TO PLAY TODAY.
A Strong Team from Scranton to Be
on Duffv's Field.

1t will be good news to the cranks
to learn that there will be 81 game on
Duffy's field this afternoon between
the Crescents and a team from the
central city, Scranton. The game Will
start at the customary hour. o'clock.
Just who the Pets will go up
against is hard telling. They have
played every kind of combination of
a team from the Electric City that
could be arranged by the "Foxey
Grandpas" of that town. Every team
that has come from Scranton this sea-
son has had one or more players who
were on the team that came before.
The men in the Electric City who seem
to have it in for "Our Pets have sent
us the best they had down there, to be
trimmed: SO it will be good guessing
that will name the players of todays
team. At any rate it will be a good
one, and the cranks are assured of a
good afternoon of the national game.
1t will be the best kind of news to
the cranks to hear that it is the ex-
pectation to- have mickey" Walsh in
today's game. He will fill one of the
places made vacant by the loss of
Roster and Lotus. Flannery will come
in from center to go behind the bat, and
Walsh and Jimmie Crane will so in the
outfield. With Cuff to complete the
field, we will have an out garden that
will be unapproachable. with Walsh
heading the list, we will have a rat
tling batting order in Emmett, Cuff,
Flannery, McTierney, Crane, Murray
and Morris. "Our Owney''" will pitch.
The presence Of Walsh on the team
will be additional inspiration to the
team and will give spirit to the game
that will be sure to delight the cranks.
