not the slightest doubt that she had the
1909 Tigers in mind when she chose
that title for her dramatic vehicle. We
have been home just six days, and in
that time we have engaged in five
games-three with Baltomore and two
with Jersey City. The Orioles We're
extremely lucky to get away with n
of the three. and we have taken two

Idon't mind if Wolverton goes ahead and
takes four out of every five contests
waged for the rest of the s~eason-and
1t is by no means a safe bet that he
won't either.
In other words, the team, which has all
along had the class, but which has lahored
under handicaps of sickness, bad weather
and awful playing fields on the road. has
found Itself at last, and is moving and Will
continue to move as smoothly as any team
until they get where they belong. and that
is where Rochester is summing itself at
present. The hitters are hitting and the
helders are fielding and the coaehers are
coaching and the pitchers and catchers
are pitching and ea~tching-an in the top
notch of form-so what more can any fan
want.
In the last two games with the Skeets.
Newark has amassed q hits and seventeen
runs against hv pitchers; four runs and
four hits off the redoubtable Red Waller.
eight runs and thirteen hits on Goetfei;
four runs and four hits Oft Del Mason ant

the Irvington lad. The only two pitchers
who have not been used against the Tigers
by Mccain, are Ford and Merritt, Fnd
they were due for today. From the ter
rife smuggling done by Wolverton and his
men, both are due to be very much used
up today
The fans are supporting the team IN
roval fashion. which is as 1t should be. for
there is no reason why that pesky pen
nant. which has always managed TO es-

from the staff at Wiedenmayers early IN
1910. Anyway, If we ever had a chance
for its capture 1t IS right now with tne

EASTERN LEAGUE
49,. DROPS

There is some class to Del Mason as an
imp. In a recent game between the
Shelters and Providence he and Matty
Fitzgerald officiated and Del put Manager
Duffy off the grounds. What d'yuh know
about that?
One of the queerest baseball happenings
of the season took place In the last Balti-
more-Newark game. Hearne, playing first,
was credited with an error in the ninth,
when he caught the ball. This is the story:
Meyers slammed one into the infield and
was off with the speed Of a greyhound.
The throw was perfect, but at the very
instant that Meyers touched the bag the
ball bounced out of Hearne's mitt and then
dropped back again. Umpire Kelly was
right In his decision, and not a murmur of
protest was heard.
Starnagle has been sold by Toronto to
Montreal and will assist Buelow and Clark
behind the bat.
Malarkey has rounded into form for Buff
falo, and is looked upon as one of the
mainstays for the Bisons in the box. The
former Giant had a bad start, but Is now
travelling at a fast clip.
Those Montreal scribes are very generous
with their hits, Camel dropping a perfect

our fielding averages, but, oh, you hits

In every city that he has played this

play. And he isn't getting any more than

Providence is the next on the bill of fare

easy picking for the voracious Tigers.

series. On this basis. their average Will
not get fat very quickly, and somehow or
