HUMBLES TIGERS
BY SCORE OF So
Marquard Badly Spiked by
Merkle-Had to Retire.
Was a Fair Game.

. Newark had a good look al the
$11 900 beauty, RUDE Marquard, and
they saw u patched-up New York
aggregation of ball-players come over
to rounc the Woodworking Tigers by
the score of 5-2 at Wiedenmayer's
Park. Despite the defeat, everybody
says that there is a bit of class to the
youngster who was picked up in To-
ronto and held the Giants to five scat
tered hits. kid" Heuser, as he will
henceforth be known, is a. frail young
chap, and when he took the mound it
was said that he would last just three
innings. But he lasted the three and
he went the nine. AS each inning went
on he seemed to get stronger.
The New Yorks in their practise per-
formed some wonderful stunts of field
ing which had the b~leacherites cheering
all the while. The Beauty started in
to pitch for the visitors, but a bad ac-
cident that will keep him out of the
game for some time. compelled him to
retire. He was spiked as he crossed
first base to head off a runner by
Merkle, and had to be carried from the
field. His place was taken by Merkle,
who is somewhat classy as a pitcher.
a feature of the game was the home
run of Fail to Touch Second" Merkle
In the ninth with one on base.
The game was very interesting con-
fair. The constant Kicking of the
New York men and some of their
decidedly ungentlemanly acts were no.
ticeable. Merkle seemed to be the
chief offender, and after being called
out on strikes-and they were strikes,
too-he attempted to spike the umpire.
In walking away from the plate an
other of the .pennant offenders picked
up a handful of dirt and threw 1t at
the face of the indicator man.
Josh DeVore, a former Tiger and
pride, started off for New York, and
obliged with a clean single over Heu-
ser's head. Heuser acted strangely for
a and threw the next ball owe
Lapp's head, Josh going to second.
A FOUNDER from Schaefer. which gave
Wolverton "a bit of trouble, put Devore
on third. but Schaefer was out on first
Devlin hit one to Wolverton which
looked good; Well 1t was, for Josh
throw to first. Seymour, who has been
out of the game for some time. showed
that he needed the rest, and he hit
O'Hare hit an easy one to Sharpe.
Marqurd started in to show that he
was worth $1,000, and on five pitched
balls retired Louden. Kelly flied to Sey-
lliOul, anu NltNClo gave MtlhAO ILL easy
fly. The second was quickly over.
Merkle struck out, Fletcher and Wilson
hit g%rounders to Loader and Wolver-
ton. Gettrnan, first Up, mad three
fierce wallops a the ball and then sat
down. Wolverton and Sharpe hit the
ball but not safely.
The third gave the Giants another
goose egg, but it looked as though the
Tigers were about to score, but the hit
was lacking. Loudenslager fouled to
Wilson. but Lapp was safe when Snod-
! grass dropped the ball. Heuser put
/ down a perfect sacrifice which sent
Lapp to second. but Louden was not
there and went out on a %grounder
Fletcher to Snodgrass.
There was nothing doing till the
fourth, and then the Tigers got busy,
showing the, Giants how to run bases
and scoring two runs. Snodgrass made
his second error and Kelly was safe
on first. Meyers then hit through short
for a single, taking second on the
throw in, while Kelly had easily got to
third. Gettman put a beauty over the
head of Snodgrass and both men scored.
Gettman was advanced a base when
| Wolverton sacrificed, but died there as
Sharpe and Loudenslager were easy
outs.
In the eighth the Giants scored two
more when Gettman made an error,
! which would have retired the side. In
the ninth O'Hare was safe on first on
an error by Loudenslager. Then Merkie
made the homo run whih ended the
scoring. The Tigers tried to start q
rally, but it was no use, as they went
ont in one. two, three order,
