PT HE greatest effort Will be mace
to get a double victory this
afternoon. Not only will 1t
break the tie for third. but it will
bring the Tigers nearer to the leading
Hustlers. Rochester is dropping slow
y and surely. as each time it splits
wen with Buffalo the leaders lose
perez ntage and Buffalo does the same.
This eight-game fight between Buffalo
and Rochester certainly came in
handy for the other co%ntenders, and to
sum it all up THE TIGERS WANT
BOTH GAMES TODAY.
How would you like to be a MEM
Der of the Newark club and spend 20
morrow, which is an off day accord
ing to the schedule, drinking in the
ocean breezes and the invigorating salt
air and singing Wont You Come and
Splash Me2'' in the breakers at AS
bury Park? That is just what the
Tigers will be doing tomorrow. ar
engagements having been completed for
the entire squad to spend all day
Wednesday and until noon Thursday
away from the regular routine and far

There will be nothing for them to do
but to rest. and if a team ever de-
served that rest by hard uphill work

Bengals are that bunch.
II is rare. indeed, for a club owner to
take his team on such a haunt during, the

way. Jack Frill says, on the level. that
he's a diver" and that he can 20 down
under water with a silver dollar and come
challenge any other Tiger to a test of
stay-nnder-water ability. Jake Gettman
was OF the opinion that Frill was too
villainous w shall see; we shall see"
and went on his way.
The Game.
Something went wrong with the dope

well trimmed, by that collection of trained
orioles who chirp under the direction of
Jack Dunn, the prince of bird trainers. |
