Some 1000 odd fans braved the
chilly atmosphere at Wiedenmayers
Park to see the two last official East
ern League anne for the season OF
1909. To mark the final appearance in
championship contests a double-header
was played, and the Newark Tigers
did the brotherly act with the Buffalo
boys by dividing the dual card. The
loyal fans who were on hand saw gofd
and Indifferent baseball, as the mem
bers OF neither team played n harder

Lloyd was then sent TO the mound,
and although his mates batted behind
him in great style, the said Mr.. Lloyd
was very wild. When not giving bases
on balls he was curving the ball over
in the groove, and the Buffalo sluggers
were hitting the pill to all corners of
the lot. When Lloyd was taken out
