trivial offense n tell tales out of
Sshool. It would seem almost the height
W folly to believe that Jack Ryan
rould be a party to a laydown arrange
Nsnt. He has been too long in the
game, but 1t is known in Newark that
Ryan saved Red Waller n Ford to do
battle against the Tigers in the last
yeries. 1t is also known that this same
Red Waller never worked harder in his
baseball career for the last W vic
torier which he gained over the
Bengels. 1t was perfectly roper for
Waller to pitch his best game against
Newark. That's baseball. Yesterday

wa one of those bad days that a
ritcher has now and then, but 1T seems
10 unfortunate from a Newark view
POINT that Waller should be so bad at
his time, when conceded to be pitch
hg as good baseball as any twirler in
lie Eastern League.
Either baseball fate is unkind to
Newark or there is something about the
city that incurs the enmity of other
players. So far as known, Newark is

performers. Nowhere are the people
more hospitable, nowhere do they for
give the Inevitable errors of the game
more readily, are more reasonable
or inoJ6 charitable to visiting play
S~yT5-@than in his city. Last year
Newark was beaten out of second
place because Baltimore had the cham
pionship safe and the players bowed
low, 80 prAx,idapca uh0 ttp dphfinp Or for
the place with the Tigers. Jack Dunn
said at the spring meeting of the East
ern League in New York that he was
censured for it, but that after his
players knew that they had the PEN
nant cinched he could do nothing with
them, and they shifted about in
positions so as to make the games a
farce. 1t would seem as though a
square deal should be included in this
baseball repertoire. On the last swing
of the Bengals around the Eastern
League circuit they had to play so per
cent. better baseball han the other
teams In order to win, and, apparently,
the opposing ag~gregations played so per
cent. better than usual against the local
diamond representatives. The position
the Tigers occupy today has been at
tanned by the most consistent and
faithful work. If they lose the pennant
they will not have any stigma placed
upon their record for the season. Per-
laps. that is more han some other
teams can have the satisfaction of
thinking aboutSf1ring the coming win

|t&striu1ppBT. Powers, president of the
Eastern League, Is said to have at
tended the game in this city yester-
dav. 1t is regretted that he was not
In Jersey City. so that IL there was any
cause for suspicion Mr.. Powers would
not be compelled to rely upon the testi-
mony of spectators. The best evidence
in the world up to date is that the
Jersey City players were subjected to
shouts of derision by their own friends
and on their own stamping. grounds.
Few Newarkers witnessed the game In
Jersey City yesterday. Local fans
were too much interested in the game
with Toronto. Stories about the alleged
d~isgraceful baseball farce in the Skee-
ter CITY yesterday come from residents
of hat city. Boil Davis, owner of the
club. was SO indignant that he did not
discuss the matter behind closed doors,
but said that certain players would
never wear a Jersey City uniform again
If he had anything to say about the
way the club should be conducted. Cal
houn and Foster are two classy infield-
ers, in fact, two excellent baseball
players. but IL reports are to be be-
lieved, Calhoun held fast to a thrown
ball and allowed Goat Anderson to
score all of the way from second base.
Anderson must have it. all over Ty
