The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-09-20

went down behind the clouds, especially
after 1t became known that the Jersey
City team had engaged In a farce ex-
hibition with the Rochester club, en-
aiding the Broncos to win by a score of
10 to @. However, the bell lap has not
yet been reached and the Tigers are
the same hard working and reliable
baseball aggregation that they were
yesterday, and all of the season for
that matter. There Is no denying the
fact that the Jungle denizens wanted
to annex that game yesterday, but
there Is no complaint to offer. Toronto
did not lay down and every we'll mean
ing baseball fan is glad that the Cana
dians did not resort to any slipshod
methods and allow the locals to gain
a victory not deserved.
Pete Wilson was delegated to act
as gunner by Joe McGinnity, and
despite the fact that Wilson was der
ricked after the fourth inning, when
the visitors secured four runs, the
Highlander twirler was not in bad
form. There was but one really good
hit secured while he was on the firing
hill, the others bordering on Lone Star
State bingles. AS 1t was, Wilson would
undoubtedly have zone the route had
1t not been for an unfortunate error by
Walter Blair, who dropped the ball
when he had Mcdonald out at the plate
by nineteen yards. After that chance
to retire the side had been lost Wyatt
Lee doubled, scoring Houser and Null
len. The fourth frame proved to be
the undoing of the Tigers, as Mckinley
pitched as though his life depended
Upon the result and held the Tigers
safe throughout. Joe McGinnity was
in his best "go-to-meetin'" clothes,
but when he discovered that the enemy
had garnered four tallies the hero of
many a hard fought diamond battle
ran for the clubhouse and soon emerged
attired In his soldiers uniform. Nc
Ginnity has not been well for several
days, but he has pitched three days in
succession, and the quality of pitching
which he has dispensed could not be
surpassed in either of the major
leagues. He held Toronto to one hit
and no runs after jumping into the
fray yesterday, but his followers could
not get to Mckinley when hits would
spell runs, and the contest was neces-
sarily not pulled from the blaze.
In that fatal four period Joe Kelley
doubled, Eddie Mcdonald took a swing
at the ball, the bat just grazed 1t and
the sphere dropped Lead. Before Will
son could field 1t Mcdonald was on first.
Houser then uncorked a lively drive to
left, scoring Kelley. Wilson then
showed his class by whiting Mitchell
and Grimshaw, leading batters of the
Eastern League, and 1t looked for all
the world like a tie score, but Jimmy
Mullen sent a safety to left. Mcdonald
hot-footed for the plate. John Kel1y's
throw had him down and out, but Blair
dropped the ball and a chance to retire
the side wasmissed. Leethen came along
with his double smash and two more
Toronto tallies resulted. That was The
END of the run-getting for the after
noon.
The Tigers registered their only run
of the game in the first inning. Muel-
Ter was given free transportation,
Kelly doubled, Schlafy hit to mckinley,
the Toronto twlrler, getting Mueller at
tho plate. Subsequent events proved
that II would have been better for the
Kid to have remained on third base, as
Gettman beat out "A hit to Vaughn and
Kelly tailed. Zimmerman hoisted to
Joe Kelley and Grimshaw eorralled
Sharpe's high one. Red" Mann, Tiger
mascot, was benched yesterday. Many
of the fans thought that If Red" had
been In the game the Tigers would
have So far as known Red" has
only had one error this year. He fell
off the bench once.
