Standing of Tigers in
Stars Baseball Contest.

Jack Frill is coming with a rush in
the STARS contest to determine the
most popular player on the Newark
team, the southpaw twirler making a
gain of 200 votes yesterday. and jump
ing into the lead by a fair margin,
Jake Gettman is i'm second place, hav-
ing also passed Joe McGinnity. who
gained twelve votes. Gettman's friends
turned in ffty-one votes for him, while
Meyers and Sharpe received six votes
each.
1t is again requested hat coupons be
turned into the baseball editors office
as early as possible. There is a dispo,
sition upon the part of some of the fans
to hold back ballots for their favorita
players, and this only makes the work
of counting a long and tedious task ar
the finish. The five leading contestants
at present are almost sure to be in the
thick of the fray until the close of the
race. but there are players farther down
on the list who will bear watching.
After the Tigers return home the battle
will be given added interest, as the
players can then muster their forces
and conduct a vigorous personal cans
paign to win the coveted diamond
studded medal offered by the STAR.
The voting coupon is printed on page

The decision was certainly strange
from the fact that before Byron called
Joe out not a Toronto player had made
; q kick. The writer saw and heard the
whole thing, as follows: Crisp had
popped a high one to third. Mitchell
went steaming after it. Frlck, the
Leafs third sacker. went after it also.
Benny Meyers had been coaching on
third, He said, "I1l take it," but
Mitchell did not stop for that. When
the Toronto catcher was within five
feet of the ball Frlck, who was going

Mitchell stopped like a clock. He
looked at Frick after the ball a
dropped safely. and turned away from
him disgustedly. Byron a moment
later called Crisp out.

that he would protest the game. The

Final Game with keiley'S Band Today.

IVItO-N y DVE I.
7 required thirteen rounds of the most strenuous sort
of baseball to down the Tigers yesterday by a l to 0
- score. Joe Mcciinnity and jeff Pfeffer INDUCED in a
pitching war which carried excitement with it from the
time that the teams got away from the barrier until
Wyatt Lee came across with the winning run for Joe
Kelley's hired men in the thirteenth frame.
The extent of the Tiger binsling was three safeties,
but the Canadian team garnered nine safe hits, How
ever, McGinnity's work was grand. Time and again a hit
would mean that the Tigers chances would go aglim-
merin', but the Iron Man was always equal to the
emergency, using the best OF judgment ana cutting loose
his famous "Old Sal' with great speed and unerring ac-
curacy.
The game has been protested, and to a fair and i'm
partial observer it would seem as though the board of
directors of the Eastern League cannot do otherwise than
allow the protest.
The game was played under protest from the sixth
INNING, when Umpire Byron, by d weird decision, called
Catcher Joe Crisp out because he claimed that Benny
Meyers, who was in the coachers box, yelled out: "Ill

but the red-topped boy could not win.
Zimmerman continues to play a fast
game for the Tigers, and is said to be
attracting the attention of major league
scouts.

McGinnity because of a. decision at

Crisp was called out when apparently
safe by two city blocks.
The Orioles had no difficulty in get
ting to Bobby Keefe yesterday at Mon
treal.
"Bumpus" Jones was good enough to
win from the Bisons yesterday. The
sale Of Jones to Providence by Mon
treal is probably legitimate. brt it does
not look very good at this stage Of
the running.
Weidersaul may not be the most bril-
liant player in the Eastern League, but
his work is always steady and con
sistent.
Jake Gettman was the only Tiger to
reach third Ease yesterday. Pfeffer
pitched an excellent game of baseball.

gives the Bengals a good hustle for
supremacy.
