days, and, all of them victories,
are what the Tigers are pulling
fol against the Buffalo Club, whica
OPENS aNseries here today. This is the
revenge the Tigers seek against the
Bisons, who handed the Wolverton
crew a double defeat Saturday at Buff
falo.
The Tiger players are very sore over
their double defeat of Saturday at the
hands of the Buffalo team, for Just
when they were beginning to draw
close to the flying Rochester Club taey
were handed a severe setback. The
Tigers will remain in this city until the
middle of August, meeting Buffalo,
Rochester, Toronto and Montreal in
order. All of these four clubs are play
ing good ball, and all of them, outside
OF MONTREAL are in the first division
and are contenders for the flag. Two
out of three from Buffalo would help
some and would give the Tigers plenty
of confidence for their three-game
series with the Hustlers, which start
on Friday. The locals have the
Hustlers' goat" that is sure, and it
would not be at all surprising for the

Who is the new catcher and when is
he going to report to MANAGER Wolver-
ton are the questions that the baseball
fans are asking? The catcher that the
Tiger management is after is a big
league player. and as soon as the
waivers are made on him which are ex-
pected to be before this paper is out
on the streets, the new man will be
sent to this city. From what club or
what league he is from Is being kept a
secret. Manager Wolverton, who was
in Philadelphia yesterday and this
morning, very likely called upon Con-
ME Mack to see what chance he had
of getting Catcher Lapp back. There
is not much of a chance of getting
Lapp back if he keeps up playing the
way he did Saturday. Should Manager
Wolverton land the man he is after the
Tigers will not be weak in the back
stopping department, for with Crisp
and the big Lacquer the Jungle tribe
will nave two of the classiest catchers
in the Eastern League. Crisp is going
finely and since being in his league he
has improved wonderfully in his work.

Benny Meyers, the right fielder of the
locals, is playing a good brand of ball
nowadays. He is fielding better, bat
ting better and doing better all around
work. During the past week he has
robbed batters of hits by throwing
them out at first after they had hit APP
parently safe to short right field. BY
his fast fielding he has taught the
players of the other teams to respect
his speed and arm. 1t is a cinch that
hereafter batters who hit to Benny's
territory will run down to first base
just a fast as they can, instead OF
trotting down, as they do sometimes
when they think that by hitting a
grounder to the outergarden that they
have registered a safe hit. Twice in a
week Benny has thrown men out at
first base after they hit a grounder TO
his territory. The password around the
circuit is now Look out for Meyers.
for he Will get you at first if you loaf
on your hit to his territory"
