O'NEILL ONE OF STARS Popular Minooka Native Features At Bat and Behind Plate for Big Leaguers. Playing the best article of ball they have displayed this season, the Miners yesterday treated the Cleveland Americans to a surprise by taking a fall out of the big leaguers, 4 to 3, in an exhibition game, viewed by some 4,000 fans at Athletic park. Scranton won out in the ninth inning, when two singles and two sacrifices were coupled witn a Cleveland misplay, netting the locals two runs.

Two were down when Gagnier ran home with the winning count. Lee Fohl brought most of his regulars here for the game. Turner, Gandil and Roth were the only steady performers not in the line up. Gandil is injured and was replaced by Howard. Roth is under suspension and din't don his The other missing regular, Turner, was given a day's rest by Fohl, the veteran going straight through to New York.

Tris Speaker and Steve O'Neill were the big stars brought on by Fohl. Speaker played in center field for six innings when lie withdrew. O'Neill, however, worked the full game 'and put up the kind of backstopplng that has well merited him the distinction of being one of the boss catchers in the big show. When Scranton Won Ont. Scranton was one run to the bad when its half of the ninth started.

Almedia promptly singled to center, his second hit. On Coles' bunt the Cuban advanced. Gagnier then singled to center. It scored Almedia and when Welsh made a poor peg home and the ball went through O'Neill, Gagnier took third. He scored a second or two later when Bren nan hit a line drive to right.

Smith had 'a tough time fielding the ball and when he did was so far out of throwing posi tion that he made no attempt to flag Gagnier scoring from third. That end ed the game. Duchesnil's pitching was one of the things that stood out prominently in his team's victory. The Frenchman seldom showed better all around form. In all he fanned eight Indians, and while he was found for ten safe blows only a few of them counted in the run getting.

Duchesnjl used a sweeping curve ball all afternoon. Wamby, O'Neill and Chapman were the only Indians to do much with him. The former had two singles before retiring. Chapman went out easily the first two times up, but in the sixth he lashed out a long drive to right center. The blow was an ordinary triple but poor relays and poor handling of the throws permitted him to turn it into a home run.

Speaker's only hit came in, the sixth juet after Chapman scored. On his two other trips to the plate the famous slugger was tossed out by Purtell. Scranton Tint to Score. Scranton was first to score. In the third Duchesnll sent a single to right.

Callahan then hit to the same spot. Duchesnil took third on the drive but Smith nailed Callahan at second trying Xor a double. Purtell also singled to right, scoring Duchesnil, but when he tried for second Smith flagged him, too. Strait then grounded out. Cleveland tied the score in the fifth.

He is a find sure enough, McElwee, Connie Mack's new third baseman, looks like a natural hitter.

Frank Baker will be in shape to play again next week, according to the latest report from the Yankee's hospital. Elmer Miller, the Yankees' young outfielder, is death on fly balls. He' also can run the bases much faster thau the average player. The present line up of the Browns includes Shotton, Sisler, Austin, Lavan and Severeid, who played under Branch Rickey's leadership last year. Elmer 'Myers, of the Mackmen, has learned a lot about pitching this season.

They know how to play for one. or two runs when they need them.

There's a persistent rumor that the White Sox are eager to secure Ray Caldwell, but Donovan will not let him get away, at least until the season is over.
