that between Buffalo and Rochester.
The Tigers have today to rest up for
the strenuous session with h Skeet-
ers, which will m tomorrow
and continue for eight games. In order
to insure the boys a good rest n
also a change of scene for the day,
Owner MeGinnity and Manager VOL
verton arranged to spend the time
from last night until Thursday morn
ing at Asbury Park, there to forget
their baseball cares entirely and the
time will be spent in swimming, fish
ing and resting. 1t will be altogether
a fine lay-off, especially as the weather
is of the best. When they return to-
morrow, the lucSless Insects will run
IN against a big snag and will find
&Aat a day off now and then is good for
the best of men, especially bailplayers'
The trip, though only for a day, proves
one thing conclusively. There Is no
parsimony in the Newark club this
year. Anything hat can be done TO
give the players a good time and make
them contented with their lot (though
no member of the team could be any
more contented than he is now) has
been done, and will be done through
out the season. 1t is very seldom IN
deed that a team is taken away for a
days pleasure jaunt, at the expense or
the club. and it all goes to show that
McGinnity and Wolverton are the two
best men in the world TO have a team
in this city or in any other, for that
matter.
II will be a great struggle when the Tig-
ers and the Skeeters hook up for those
eight games. Although the former are verv
close to second place and the "Stingers
are all alone In the cellar, the boys from
Skeetertown are nevertheless capable OF
putting up a stiff argument, and, when the
undertainty of the game is taken into con-
.iderstion. the fights are bound to be CLASSY
end we'll worth seeing. Five Of the eight
games will be played in Newark, instead
of four in each city, as scheduled. ms
happens because it was thought wiser to
transfer next Sundays game, when was
scheduled for Jersey City. to Newark, to
avoid trouble that might be caused by
noisy roofing. Sunday baseball Is JUST
about hanging on the safe edge In our
neighboring town, and here the fans can
veil and be as enthusiastic as they IKE,
without fear Of being disturbed or having
future games stopped
The trouble with the Skeeters seems 10
be In their pitching stan. which. with 2
or two exceptions. seems TO be woefu.ly
weak. There are purchases to be MADE,
however, which viii probably boost Lnsm
up and allow them to put up a sitter ngnt
against the other teams than they have
been.
The Games.
That wa certainly a strenuous baseball
aession al Wiedenmayer's yesterday. q
even though the Tigers should have
the first game, they DID take the Second,
SO that VIII help some. Until the eigntn
inning. the opener looked Ike & w~alk-oyer.
