III ACK RYAN'S Shelters yesterday
made another desperate effort to
y nip the Tigers in the stretch, and
all but succeeded apparently. but just
as the Bob Davis Association was
preparing to gather their bludgeons
together n HE themselves across the
bubbling Passaic they heard the cease
less roar of the Tiger artillery and
found base hits to the right of them,
base hits to the left of them, finally
being compelled to emulate the six
hundred and rush into the jaws of de-
feat. The Tigers rallied in the eighth
inning and turned defeat INTO victory
by a score of s to .. About 5000 fans
were hurled into a state of frenzy. and
seldom has a victory at Wiedenmayer's
Park been received with more joyous
acclaim.
Chubby Manser, the pitching ''phe-
nom,'' who made I%rvington famous,
was delegated to do the hurting for
Jersey City. Manser recently twirled
a hirteen-innin tic game against the
McGlnnity cohorts. and there was
some anxiety upon the part of local
enthusiasts when Manser was an
nounced as the gunner. Jack Frill
started to do the f1inging for the
Tigers, but Jack had no frills on his
pitching. The visitors chased him from
the mound in the first inning. when
they garnered three tallies. Cy Par
klns succeeded him and did fairly we'll,
but was taken out in the seventh
frame to allow Louden TO bat for him,
Joe McGinnity finished the game in his
usual faultlcss style.
Those gladsoTne doings in the eighth
round were started by John Kelly and
Larry Schlafiy. and finished by that
irrepressible exponent of the national
pastime, Sir Jacob Getman. Mueller
had been disposed of and John Kelly
had received free transportation. Schla-
fly sent one along the third base line
which was too hot for Jack Hanniin
to handle. Gettman then strobe to the
plate and was greeted with joyous
shouts AZ the rooters. He doubled to
centre field, scoring Kelly and Schlafly,
and making the game a tic. Hats went
UP In the air, old men Rugged young
women, some punched their friends in
the ribs, others danced with all of the
eccentricity of George M. Conan. 1t
was indeed a happy moment Eddie
Zimmerman was the next nan up and
was found equal to the emergency. He
hit to short right field and Warner,
Billy Zimmerman and Calhoun raced
for the ball which dropped between
them and Eddie Zimmerman was cred
tied with a double while Gettman raced
over the pan with the winning run Of
the game.
Jersey City secured a trio of tallies in
the first inning on two singles. a triple
and an error by Sharpe. Another run
was added in the fourth and one also
came across in the sixth; IN fact it
looked to be a day of gloom for Tiger
followers, but many of the timid fans
forgot that a game Of baseball is not
concluded until the last man has been
retired. The Tigers broke into the run
column In the fourth inning, when
Mueller singled through the box. Kelly
was hit by a pitched ball, Schlafy sac
rificed, McDonough contributed a
passed ball and Mueller tailed. Kelly
registered on Gettman's out at first.
A run was secured In the seventh.
Gettman was passed, Zimmerman
singled. Sharpe did likewise and Jake
stamped on the rubber. The real pyro-
technical display came in the eighth
chapter as narrated above.
