Double Bill of Double Headers
for the Newark
Fans.

IL the Senate would only pass a bill
prohibiting hitting at ball parks it
would not be hard for the Tigers to
i've up to h law. But would Provi-
denee fit as easy? Well, not much.
Hughey Duffy and his bunch have been
hitting like a house afire since they
struck our village, and we won't be
sorry when this afternoons double set
to is over.
Ii ever a team showed up about 100
per cent. faster thar they did in past
performances it is the Clam Diggers.
Not for an instant did it look as though
we would get more than a look in in
the two games played here.
Yesterday big Jack Cronin. who al
ways manages to slip it over on a
Newark team, performed wonders in
the box. The big fellow had his big
smile with him, and his u~ndershoots
never worked better. He had our
Tigers pretty we'll under his hip for
the greater part of the course. With
Big Jack handing over those breakers
no team in the league can beat him.
This afternoon the Grays are with
us for the final frolic. A double bill
of baseball good things is on tap.
Mueller n Frill will probably be tile
mound workers. Hugh Duffy still has
Slime and Barry to use yet.
Tomorrow Joe Bean will be here. 1t
will be a day of revenge, though The
Shelters are confident that they will
break their losing streak at the ex-
pense of their old-time rivals. Moore
and Laftte will very likely be used in
the double bill.
Erroneous reports are easily circu-
lated. The one started about Roy
Hartsell not being the property of the
Tigers is baseless and has no founda-
ton. Hartsell is the property of the
Newark club and Manager Stallings
has paid the price for his clever third
baseman, and only sickness and acct
dents following the St. Louis players
has kept Hartsell from reporting here
before.
Manager Stallings, in speaking of
his matter, said: "Hartsell is our
property by all the laws of baseball,
and he ought to be here now"
The Newark fans need not look on
the new man as a piece of property
simply loaned here, for he is not. More
than this, Hartsell is willing to come
here, and when he does he will add a
tower of strength to the team.
SANDY" McDermot, who was handed
to the Tigers by Arthur Irwin, of the

there are other games and we will
get these fellows yet" Now, what
would a pessimist say?s Why. he would
go around with a crouch and wouldn't
speak to his best girl if she came to
the ball park gate for him. Hes. let
all look at these losing games with a
grain of common sense and be cheer
full and hopeful. Let us all join and
sing that old refrain: Better days will
be here"
Must BE Optimistic.
To succeed in this world of ours,
where we are only a few years at the
longest, we must be optimists. We
must all look ahead and view the posi-
bilities n forget the probabilities. The
chances that we all have ma have
foated by IS %unnoticed, but these will
return with the fiotsam and jetsam Of
time. If they don't we will know Moth
ing of what we lost, and in that case
our ignorance is certainly bliss, and 1t
would be f~oolishness to be wise. Just
resolve, you fans, that no matter what
happens you will look on the brighter
side of the game. Take it from me,
we will be near the top of the league
this time next month.
A Practical Illustration.
To cut this optimism short for to-
day let me give you one more sample
OF what an optimist really is. l met
Manager S%tallings this morning on the
-Four Corners" waiting for a Hamburg
place trolley. "Double-header tomor-
row" said he, and I guess he was
thinking of Conway hen he spoke, for
he was somewhat flustered. didn't
say a word, and finally he blurted out,
'Shucks, what is the use of complain
ingI We will win both games today
and take the two tomorrow, and then
we will be up lee the top at that"
and he went laughing. Is there any
wonder that the Tigers are all opti-
mists? Not a bit.
We Want the Four Games.
A doubie-header this afternoon and
another doubler tomorrow ought to
bring us the four games. Nothing less
will do, although If we only get three
of them the fan and us ought to be
satisfied. Don't you think so? The
season is young yet. and three out of
four will do. And by the way, if VIC
break even we will be all to the Merry
Widow gaiety thing. So what is the
use of complaining as long as there is
life in the team and the mead of it gets
put out of the game now and then
There Is always hope. Get on the OPP
timistic wagon. 1t runs through every
street that leads to the ball park, and
be one of the loyalists. Just one more
word. l didn't hear a single knock
handed out to a Tiger yesterday, AMI
THAT is GOING SOME. Keep it up
boys, and we will all pull together, In
rain or sunny weather.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Over $4,000
invitations have been issued for the

fact that many of the men picked for
the Yankee team for the Olympic games

Rector, the Southern flyer, will not
compete, owing to college examinations,
but his absence will not take the edge
off the meet. Harry Hillman is expected
to meet J. b. Taylor, the great colored
runner in the quarter-mile run. For
two years these men have lodged each
other at this distance. The race will
be the most interesting of the year
to the followers of the sport if they do
come together. Hillman is in great
shape,and thinks he can peat the negro.
In the mile rum will be seen Halstead.
of Cornell, who Trainer Mike Murphy
thinks Dis capable of doing 4:15. He is
regarded as the greatest miller since the
days of Tommy Conneff. J. P. Sullivan,
the national champion, is out to re-

feat at the Olympic try-outs last week.
Sheppard will start in the half-mile,
and he will try to break Kilpatrick's

He will have a good man to force him

CRIMSON EIGHT DOES
MILE IN FAST TIME.

REDRTOP, Conn, June 13.-Harvard's
splendid varsity eight reeled off a mile
in five minutes thirty-five seconds last
night, the fastest record for the distance
shown by any crew this year. The var
sity and!freshmen raced the entire dis
lance. the regulars squirting ahead and
winning by three lengths. Harvard's
fine time was accomplished by a thirty
six-strokeain the third quarter-mile, and
for the last furlong a thirty-eight clip
was maintained.
This is the fastest stroke shown by
crew on the river in years. and in
dicates that Harvard, after defeating
Annapolis n Cornell. can claim the
American championship by beating
Yale. If this is done it is practically
certain that Harvard will cross the
water and race for the English and in
tern ational championship.
