ayers COnntenance.
HOT SETTO AT BALL PARK
Decisions During the Game be-
tween Newarks and Buffalos
Riled the Local Owner.

Msnager George r. Stallings and Umpire
Sullivan had a lively setto at the Newark
ball grounds yesterday after most of the
crowd had left. The Rochester umpire, who
has been mixed up in many scraps in past
years, was pretty hard on the Tigers in
some of his decisions in the opening game.
Among other things, he permitted Mattress,
of Buffalo, to take his base. though only
three balls had been called on him. Yester-
day again he gave the Bisons a shade In
the decisions. and Pitcher Jack FriIl was
seldom favored with q strike on the "cor-
ners.''
Stallings doesn't permit anyone to walk on
him, and he told Sullivan as much during
the game. After tho session, as the umpire
went TO the dressing room, the argument
was renewed, and during a bitter exchange
of words, it is said, Sullivan hurled a vile
epithet at the Newark manager.
The expression said to have been used was
a personal insult, and Stallings, being a
fiery Southerner, was about to make Sulli-
van "eat his words" when, according to the
statement Of an eyewitness. the umpire
struck the Newark manager over the head
with his baseball mask.
Stallings came back with a blow and then
another. but at this stage the two were
separated by the bystanders. The local
is looking only for a square deal
from the umpires, for Newark has been up
against 1t in that respect in past years.

two. three order in five innings and struck
out eight men. but he had two bad rounds,
and 1t was in those that the Herd scored
its runs.
Mattress, the champion "waiter'' OF tho
league, was ticketed to first in the opening
inning. White sacrificed him to second
and he crossed the plate on Murray's single
TO left. Schirm came along with another
safe wallop and both men advanced on a
passed ball, but no further damage was
done for the time being.
Except. for the third inning, when Man
ager Smith sandwiched in a two-bagger,
the Bisons were kept well in check until
the eighth. Sensational fielding by Nah
ling and Engle robbed the visitors of a
quartet OF hits.
In the eighth the Bisons once more be-
came troublesome. Ryan started ar attack
with a hit to left garden and Vowinkle
walked on four wide ones. Mattress struck
out in trying to sacrifice. but White poked
cut another hit, filling tho bases. Mullen
made a good catch of Smiths fly behind
second. Then that man Murray. who has
broken up many n game in past seasons,
slammed out his second hit. sending Ryan
home. III sacks were still tenanted, but
Sehirm ended the inning with a tap to
Frill.
Mr.. Baerwald reached third base for
Newark in the opening inning on a pass,
a sacrifice and an out, and in the third he
was hit by Il pitched ball and stole second,
only to be left stranded. Engle tore off
Newark's first hit In the fourth. Then
not another Tiger planted foot on first base
until the eighth, when Stanage sneaked
in a hit.
Baerwald started the ninth with n clean
hit to right, but was forced at second
by Mailing. Mullen then drove a liner
into Keister's hands and the e~x-Skeeter
doubled Mailing at first, ending the game.

JERSEY CITY, April 23.-The East
ern League baseball season was opened
here this afternoon amid a blaze of
glory. when the Skeeters walloped the
champion Toronto team. in a fast battle,
by a score of 4 to 0. Fully 5000 fans
saw Pitcher Del Mason, the former
Yankee. WELD the whitewash brush,
and it was principally due to his mas
terly twirling that the Maple Leafs
succumbed.
Long before the game was to start
hundreds of fans had gained admission
to the grounds and at 4 o'clock, when
President Pat Powers, of the Eastern
League, and Mayor H. Otto Wittpcnn
stepped on the diamond there was not
a seat to be found in either the bleach
ers or grandstand. After shaking
hands with the players of both clubs
the teams were called to the home
plate by President Powers. The players
formed themselves into a semi-circle
and the Mayor walked out to the
pitchers box. After taking careful aim
he let the ball go and it sailed toward
the players, who had to duck. The
Mayor got plenty of applause for his
effort just the same.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock both teams
assembled at the hagpole in centre field
and, while the American flag was being
raised. the band played the Star
~Spangled Banner" while all the a n
stood up with heads uncovered. On
account of the burial of Henry Chad
wick, Father Of Baseball" today, the
flag was raised only to half-mast.
AS soon as the and had finished
playing the national air, twelve guns
were fired and the march to the plate
was started. AS the teams neared the
plate the crowd stood up and gave
cheer after cheer for their favorites
After the regular preliminary practise
the Mayor threw the first ball and the

Dame Fortune, tickle as ever, after
smiling upon the Tigers in the opening
game of the Eastern League season, gave
them a frown yesterday, waived her magic
sceptre in the opposite direction and de-
creed that Buffalo was TO win the second
battle, 2 runs to 0.
Here was another instance of showing
that a pitcher can make a team look like
n troupe OF m or vice versa. ON
"Wednesday Al Pardee was the whole
show" and the brilliancy OF his work
threw n spotlight on the entire Newark
team, causing the Herd to appear weak In
comparison.
Yesterday a chap wearing the label,
rip" Vowinkle, somewhat younger than
the old gent who took q nap i'm the Cats
kills. did the "Pardee act' for Buffalo
and the tables were completely turned.
Tigers Couldn't Hit.
This time the Tigers were let down with
three stray hits and Buffalo collected six,
just the reverse of the count of the open
ing game. Inability to hit was the sole
secret of Newark's defeat. Otherwise the
game was a corker. both teams putting
up n peppery article of ball and fielding
without an error.
There was one change in the Tigers
lineup besides the pitcher. Outfelder
Harry Mcllveen, whom Manager Stallings
considers a minor league wonder, made
his belated appearance and was detailed
10 left field, taking the place Of Del Drake.
The newcomer failed to get a hit, but
then nobody broke any records in welding
the willow.
Before the game Outfielder Joe Bell
stepped up to the press box and asked the
reporters to change his name to Rudolph
Baerwald, his correct handle. The eX-
Yankee explained that he disguised his
name at a time when he jumped the Jop-
1in club to join the Butte team, but now
that that affair has been Strengthened out
he wanted to drop his nom de plume. So
it's Rudolph Baerwald hereafter.
A crowd of 5000 witnessed the game.
Things went along peacefully during the
game. though Manager Stallings had a
number of occasions to call" Umpire
Sullivan for what he considered a raw
deal in his decisions on balls and strikes

SOCCER FOOTBALL.
Players Are to Be Selected for
an Interstate Eleven.

On the Clark athleuc grounds, East
Newark, tomorrow afternoon, two teams
selected by the American Football Asso-
citation will meet in a trial or exhibition
game of soccer football. This trial game
has been arranged by the association for
the purpose of enabling it to select a
representative clever to meet an eleven
selected by the Pennsylvania League in an
Interstate game, which will be decided in
Newark, Sunday, May 3.
The two teams which will play tomor-
row represent the cream OF the soccer
talent in this section and should furnish
a good exhibition. The teams will line
up as follows:
Team A-Goal, Hanlon (west Hudsons);
backs, Kettles CWest Hudsons). Murray

National League Race.
Owing to the difficulty of securing
grounds, nearly all OF them being used
for baseball now, It is doubtful whether
the National League will be able to decide
the championship this season. Three clubs,
the Paterson Rangers. Newarks and True
Blues, have a chance of first honors, the
Paterson Rangers having the best position
at present. Only one league game is
scheduled this week, the Clan Mcdonald
eleven meeting Hollywood Inn Sunday at
Brooklyn.
