RECORDS
PLACE TIGERS Up
AMONG LEADERS

President Powers's official fielding
averages of the Eastern League, issued
today, show that the Newark Tigers
were well up among the leaders,
Johnny Kelly leading the left fielders,
and Sharpe being tied with Whitney, of
Buffalo, for first base honors among
their regular initial guardians. Smith,
of Buffalo, is the real leading second
sacker.
Engle did not shine at third base. though
he made only S. errors In 400 chances,
which is good, considering that he was
out of position.
Kid Mailing took part in more games
than any other shortstop. He accepted 100
chances and booted but 81. Mattress, of
Buffalo, had but 6J6 chances and made 46
miscues. He ranks just ahead of Mailing.
Little Josh Devore was not the real noise
In the centre field bunch, Anderson, of
Rochester, leading the middle gardeners
and Josh bringing up the rear end. Devore,
how ever, had more assists than his rivals.
Frill, Pearson, Moffitt and Donahue had
perfect fielding records for pitchers.
Oscar Stanage was the iron catcher of the
circuit, participating in 1903 games. The
veteran, Wilbert Robinson, of the Orioles,
lead in this department.

a bowling match was quite a feat. They

game was improving some.

S|X-DAY RIDERS
''DOPED" FOR LAST
SPRINT OF RACE

Almost every rider Who was put on
the track at Madison Square Gar
den today to relieve his partner
showed the effects of stimulants. AS
they were placed on their machines and
started off on the oval they would
burst forth into a heartbreaking sprint,
only to falter and fall back after half
a mile of sprinting.
The appearance az one or two of the
men was enough to excite pity from the
most hardened spectators. They looked
like ghosts as they rode on silently in
the smoke-clouded half light. The joe
ular spirit of early days in the grind
had entirely disappeared, they
pedaled around the never-ending track
silent and grim, but intent on hanging
on.
The effects of the stimulants o n the
riders were plain. ''Pedlar' Palmer. the
courageous little Australian, rode like a
mailman, and furnished The pace for the
other riders for hours. Notwithstanding
the terrific strain that he has been forced
to undergo, he raced around the oval at
Il twenty-mile gait, until the thousands of
spectators burst into tumultuous applause.
Demara will surely be one of the CON
tenders in the final sprint tonight. His
rivals VIII be Rutt, of Rutt and Stol. and
Mcfarland, of MacFarland and Moran, I'M

the leaders.
The followers Of Walthour and Root still
hold a forlorn hope that this team may
regain the coveted lap that separates them
from the leaders. But those who have
kept in close observation of the men hardly
hope that Walthour and Root will try to
get the Jap.
Drobach is in very poor condition, ms is
Moran, whose shoulder was strained and
cut by a severe fall during the early
hours. MacFarland, his partner. looks
drawn and weary, but he never fails to
follow any speed that the others may
establish.
A sensational rumor during the early
morning hours was that Stol, the partner
of Rutt, was suffering from stomach
trouble. This had the effect of raising
the odds on mcfarland to 6 to5in his favor.
The same odds prevailed on Rutt and Stol.
Demara and Hill, strange as it may seem,
were placed mt ! to 4 in the battling, but
1t was predicted that the odds against them
would drop a great deal before the end of
the race.

Eastern League pitchers had a fat
season in 1908 with the batters, and the
official average of the Pat Powers's
twirlers show why there were so few
800 hitters this season. In the official

most remarkable feats ever known in
baseball, that performed right here in
Newark last year by Arthur Mueller,
the boy twirler of the Tigers, who led
the league in pitching his first season
in league baseball.
To win eighteen and lose but seven
games against the best class A batters
in the country, is what the Frankford
phenom did last year. Mueller's per-
Torrance is all the more remarkable
because he had never pitched a league
game before coming to Newark.
