race had it not been for the manner in
which The Orioles laid down to the
Grays after they had made sure of tho
pennant. Net that there was anything
rocked, but the Oriole players were
perhaps like a lot of schoolboys who
were wearing their first pair of red top
poots. and did not care where they
played.
1t is certain that the Baltimore play
ers did not show any real desire to win
in The four games played against the
Grays on the two last days of the sea-
son. The players shifted about as they
pleased. For illustration, in one of the
games Jack Dunn played centre field,
Bobby Hall was at first base, O'Hara
played shortstop, Pete Cassidy was at
third base, Jack Knight was in left and
Pearson in right. That was far from
being the usual ~impregnable lineup
which h Orioles had presented. How
ever, let the past bury the dead. 1t
was not the intention to hold any post
mortems n 1t Is 1909 that occupies our
attention at this time.
Stallings had the best team in the
league in the last two weeks of the sea-
son last year, but competent critics do
not figure that it had anything on the
present aggregation. Stallings had good
pitchers, but they were not working
better than the present staff. One year
today McIlveen was sold to the
Highlanders, but Demmitt soon made
the ans forget Spike" Some idea Of
the work of the "Stallingites" can be
CLEANED from the fact that from this
time last year until the close of the
season they won II and lost s games.
On September 8 the team completed
it's last swing around the western end
of the circuit, and started a whirlwind
dash, which threatened to land them
pennant winners. On September IL
there was great joy in Newark after the
Tigers had won two games from Provi-
dence by cores of 2 to 1 and 8 to 0.
However, it was the Grays that really
injured the Tigers chances most,
Duffy's team getting home some severe
blows at critical periods. 1t is hoped
that the coming series with the Grays
will not be one which will spell disaster.
The Newark team is going good now.
Is everybody happy?

TOM Eek MAY BUY
THE CLIFTON STADIUM.

Nothing doing at the Clifton Stadium
tomorrow afternoon. A change IS con-
templated in the management OF the
track, and until the deal is consum-
mated there will be 40 racing. 1t is ex-
pected. however. that the sale will go
through this week.
Tom Eek. the veteran manager of al
kinds of athletes and things athletic,
is the man making the bid for the fast
banked circle. and claims to have the
backing of a wealthy New Yorker, who
will put in a pile of coin to get the
professional sprinters up at Clifton.
The natural result of such an effort
viii be o war between the manage
ments, with the benefit going to the
riders. who Will be able to hold out for
choice money.

Providence was occupying second posi-
a merry fight for third place, the Bis
~. 1908. All OF the teams were well
punched as they are now. Local fans,
of course, sincerely hope that the
Tigers can repeat, and come down the
line with the speed of the men who
were then under the guidance of George
T. Stallings. The 1908 team was a great
o a aggregation, and when a team
shows class in the enemy's country 1t
is more than likely to be among the
~contenders for p%ennant honors. VOL
verton's charges have also shown tina
playing on the road is where they live,
and fans have good reason for viewing
the situation with a roseate field glass.
Newark finished third last year with
a percentage of $50; Providence was
second with .5S1, while Baltimore won
with a standing of .593. The Orioles
clinched the championship on Septem-
Der 10 by winning from Jersey City.
It Is always a matter of regret when
n has to even lightly i%nsinuate that
a wrong deal has been pulled off in
baseball. as the fact that the great ma
tional pastime has been conducted along
straight lines since the early '70s, when
Hall, Craver and Devlin were forever
banished from the game, has made it
h greatest field sport in the world.
That was the turning point, and since
then there have been few times when
any attempt has been made to place a
stain upon the sport. Newarkers will
always adhere to the statement that
Stallings's team would have had a royal
chance to finish second In last years

would be a good idea to r~eorganize the
West Hudson League with four teams,
as follows: Parkway A. c., Arlington

pendents. Saturday games would be
played at Kearny Oval and Sunday
contests at the Parkway Oval. The
league would be the means of drawing
large crowds, as the fans over there
would be interested in games among
their own boys. The managers of the
above teams may get together in the

Last Year Team Had the Same Place but Were
Fighting for Third; Now II Is Second Place.
Chances Better at This Time With Birds Out.

"a LITHELY plods the Tiger troupe upon it's glad
some way. The jungletown lads, headed by Harry
49, Wolverton, are surely making themselves con-
spicuous in Eastern League affairs. Friday, August IL,
supposedly ansunlucky day, had no terrors for the New
arkers and Casey's Royals were given the same treat
ment of other luckless visitors, who expected to be re-
ceived Hospitality at Wiedenmayers Park. Each Tiger
carried the left rear foot OF a rabbit which had been
murdered to order as the clock toled the midnight hour
in a lonely graveyard twelve miles from Compville,
Tenn; so there really was no possibility of the Royals
winning the game yesterday.
BY a rather strange coincidence, the Tigers had the
same percentage when they went into the game yester-
day as they had one year ago on August 13. They re-
NAMED Idle with the Toronto team on that day, however,
no game being scheduled. Their percentage was .525. Bal
timore was leading the league at this time in 1908 with
a percentage of .5sf, Whle the erstwhile Hustlers, who
are now in the va n only have a percentage of .553.
1t will thus be readily dlscerned that II the Tigers
can keep up the sprint they have started they will have
aking away with the spoons than last year. Today they
