BY BERT DODGE.

. Eastern League baseball began in
most auspicious style. The season is
bound to be a great one.
While the record-breaking crowd of
about 1900 was an indication of the
marvellous interest taken by the New
ark public in the baseball teams do
ings, it is plain that the enthusiasm is
not confined to Newark or Essex
county.
Over in Jersey City. with a team
which appeared to be anything but a
pennant- winning combination. the
fans turned out by the thousands.
They rooted and a~pplauded and they
gave the boys who represent Skeeter-
vile to understand that they were with
them.
And what was the result? McCann's
boys, encouraged by their supporters,
went to work and beat the mighty
Bisons, heralded all along the circuit as
one of the strongest teams in Pat
Powers's organization.
It's a lesson for Newark fans" to
learn. The Tigers were beaten yester-
day. They didn't lose. however, because
they didn't try, or because they made
any mistakes. Giving the Torontos all
the credit due them, and admitting that
they played yesterday fully as well as
the Wolverton pant did, yet it Is sure
that it was only because baseball
luck favored the visitors that they
were able to score a victory.
There is no reason at all to make
= criticisms of the Tigers for their play
Yesterday. There is practically nothing
to criticise. They batted well, when 1T
is considered that such a clever twirler
as Rudolph was in the box. They
fielded in almost faultless style. They
ran bases with lots of ginger and got
around in good style.
McGinnity showed that he possessed
every bit of the skill he has been given
the credit of having. To be sure, he gave
batter got in the way of a pitched ball al
most Immediately afterward. But the "Iron
Man was over-anxious in his desire to
have Joe Kelley bite at a couple of drop
curves and crafty Jimmy Mullen, in try
ing to avoid a curve, really stepped in
front Of ii and thus won Il base.
Then that Texas Lacquer two-bagger,
which brought in a run, would undoubtedly
have been captured by Jack Kelly had
the field been dry. Louder made a fine
Bud Sharpe, following Jake Gettman's
sturdy smash. would have broken up the
game had ,his line drive been a fraction
Of an inch higher. so Kid Mailing would
have failed to reach it in his lively jump.
All this goes to show that the Tigers are
worthy Of all the support they got yes
terday. To the critical eye they certainly
look better than the Torontos. With more
attention from Miss Fortune and not so
much misfortune they will win today and
tomorrow.
To resume the review of the opening in

the anxious outfielder tried to make
third. So the Kid got an assist and
an error on the same ball.
There was but a single stolen base
in the contest, Vandergrift getting
away with second, due to Krichelrs
poor throw to Louden. But Paul more
than made up for this by nipping@ W
men, Wiedensaul and Rudolph, off first
in the seventh and eighth innings, with
absolutely perfect throws.
Now for the tragedy In the seventh.
after the fans had complied with the CEN
tury-old custom of rising for luck, Jake
Gettman, the premier swatsmith of the day,
got his second hit, clean as n die. Wolyer-
ton. seeing that It was up to him to lay
one down, did so TO the queens taste, and
10 and behold. Jake was on second. Now
comes the play to which the loss OF the
game can be directly laid. Bud Sharpe
picked out a nice one and sent it sailing

NEWARK HIGH is
HANDICAPPED BY BAN

League season openings are an the go

scholastic League season will be opened at
Montclair and Hoboken. Newark High
School and Stevens School will do the trick
in Hoboken, while East Orange High

seen in a contest at Montciair.
Fast Orange High School has a veteran
battery also. and as nothing much has
been heard or seen of the Montclair High
School nine, which is practically an en-
tirely new nine this year. there seems to
be little doubt that the East Orange
schoolboys will have an easy time of 1t
with their Montclair opponents.
Since Principal Stearns asked N. w.
Brooks TO resign and put a ban on Cap
tain Rachlin's playing for a while, the
local High School nine will 90 into the

essary to mention that the Baltimore and

Adkins and Roy Beecher, the former Tiger,

no regret in Newark on hearing Of this
downfall, for the local 'fans, figure that
the Tigers really earned second place last

only because the Baltimores presented two
games 70 the Grays in the wind-up double
header last year that Hughey Duffy's men
were able to be the contenders.

LAYING game and snappy ball, but with what
baseball luck there was dead against them, the
Tigers were forced to bow before Joe Keney's
Maple Leafs yesterday by the score of 2 to 0. McGinnity
and Rudolph were the opposing boxmen and both were
in fine fettle. The Iron Mans work would have re-
turned his team the winner in nine out of ten battles. but
Dame Fortune butted in on several occasions, much to the
discontinue of the "Maneaters." Rudolph, the Toronton-
ian, had his splitter working to perfection and was In
trouble but seldom during the game. But one Newarker
got as far as third-Larry Schlafy-and his daring at
tempt to pifer home was baked by tho interference of
McGinnity with Vandergrift, the Canucks catcher.
Torontos two TALES came one In the fourth and the
other in the ninth. In the fourth chapter, Mailing. who
was very much in evidence during the game, popped out to
Schlafy, and Manager Joe Kelley took four chances and
