man home on a base On balls and 2
triple by joyce, whereas Newark had
four men who planted their spiked
shoes on the home rubber on a com
bination Of hard hitting and one or two
misplays by one Coreoran. The Tigers
have al last put on their seven-league
boots and have struck . stride which

place looked like a very easy matter
for the Bengals yesterday. as Jersey
City had Buffalo two runs II the bad

Sutton blew up with a loud noise and
enabled the Bisons 20 win ont III the
ninth inning by q 8 to ? seore. i
seems as though our Skeetertown BROTH
CTS might have risen to the occasion
and handed the Herd something SO that
Woiverton's boys could continue their
climb, but fate had deereed otherwise
and they were forced to he content
with third place for another day. 1t is
remarkable what a few victories <ill
do for a team. and this has beer very
clearly shown In the last few days. At
present the Tigers o far and away
better thar any other club in the
league and have vindicated themselves
and proven that the hard luck that was
claimed for them In their bad start and
on their first trip. was truly hare luck
and nothing else.
Imbued with a fighting spirit by Harry
Wolverton, the prince Of managers. the

but It showed that Schlstiy WAS out to do
everything in his power TO help along his
team and the batter. These small points
go to make up a great-ba1l cam, and this
Is a good time to make a prediction. and
that Is that If Newark doesn't win a
ipennant with the present Tiger crew. the
largest city In kew Jersey will never raise
the championship banner. And this all
goes.
The Bengals simply get the jump on
every team that they play, and II II sc
happens that. by reason Of an nnfor-
tunate error. the thing is turned the other
way around and the visitors get away
in the lead. why, the Ben.ats bide their
time and then concentrate all their efforts
with the result that something breaks,
and it's usually with the other fellows.
