LANKY BOB TO
VISIT OLD HOME AND
MEET YOUNG BOB

1t may be a bit of choice news to'
Americans to learn that Hugh Nc
Intosh, according to a cable just at
hand from London, has signed a con-
tract with Bob Fitzsimmons, himself
an Australian of the old school, to
leave San Francisco in September for
a tour of that country. Fitzsimmons
met with marked success in his theatre
cal work in England last spring, and
there is a very general desire to see
him in action there.
Speaking of Fitzsimmons, another
member of the same family who is in
the limelight there at present, is a
nephew of Lanky Bob. 1t was the orig
inal intention of those back of the
17-year-old Timaru boy to hold him
over until next season, but the temp
tation to get some money has proven
too great and a challenge has just been
issued in his behalf to meet. any man
of his poundage-152 poundsZfor ESQ or
ESQ a side. Young Fitzsimmons's hacker
and ponsor is Martin Taylor, who
introduced the late Otto Crib to the
boxing world. 1t may very reasonably
be inferred. therefore, that Taylor
knows what he is doing when taking
up this sprig of the Fitzsimmons
family.

DAY E WFiEELMFN
OUT TO BEAT TIGERS
Will Meet Sunday Afternoon at West Side Oval-Manager Cort
Has New Players-Nationals to Play Newark A. A. at
Heidelberg-St. Benedicts Versus ~Valsburgs at
Wright Street-0ther Notes.

After an absence of three weeks from
their grounds in South Fourteenth
street, opposite West Side Park, the
Bay View Wheelmen will return Sun
day afternoon and meet the Tiger B.
3. c. in a City League game. 1t will be
the final meeting of these teams in a
league contest. Each have won a game
and as 1t will be the rubber there is un-
usual interest centred in the result.
The Tigers have won their last four
games, and as kid" Kurfess and
Eddie" Uslar are both going a la
Krause, Manager Geiger claims a vic
tory.
Hughey Cort, who is at the helm of
the Wheelmen, has a different opinion,
and he has announced that with O'Neil
hack at third and several other new
faces in the lineup, and with Reilly and
Rau on the mound, the prospects for the
Tigers are not very bright.
Like Stallings's Yankees, everyone is
puzzled at the showing of the B.. VS..
They are a fast aggregation and with such
sluggers as Girtanner, Carroll, Dauber
and Fax in their lineup it's difficult to
figure how they will finish outside of the
hrst division. True, they have lost more
games than they have won. but fortune
has been smiling on their opponents and
that point is thus settled. In the game
with the st. Benedicts last Sunday they had
the game clinched until the eighth. when
the Saints rallied. tied the score and won
out in the ninth, a sample of the luck
that has been bounding Manager Cort.
Come OIL, you Bay View ~rooters, get out
to the game Sunday afternoon and en-
courage the aggregation which is sport
ing your colors and which Is Il credit to
you.

CALDWELL AND
|RONS|DES READY
FOR BIG GAME

All records for interest in a baseball
game in Caldwell and vicinity are being
broker over the coming game between
the Caldwell and Ironside A. C. teams
at Caldwell Saturday. 1t will be the
second game of the series n as the
Caldwells won the first, 5 to Z, after a
stubborn fifteen-inning battle. the sec
ond contest Is bound to be full Of ex-
element.
The teams will lineup the same as in
the first game. A number of Newarkers
and followers of the 1ronsides will take
the trolley to Caldwell, not to the pen,
but to the battlefield to root for the City
League champions.
On Sunday the Ironsides will meet the
Broad A. &C. in a City League game. 1t
will be the final one between the two
teams, and Manager kriston has secured
Jansen, a twirler from Jersey City, who
had the National Turner's at his mercy
last Sunday, to be on the mound for
the Breads.
Lang. or Knoth will be in the points for
Casey's team and Joe Harter and his big
stick will also be in evidence.
In the afternoon the team will play at
New Brunswick, and for this reason the
morning game will be called at 10 O'clock.

Play Royals Again Today.

den. Corcoran thought the drive was safe
and started for the plate. Gettman made
q good throw to Louden for double-kill-
ing.
Neither team scored after that until the
third and then the Tigers sent one run
and MeGinnity both flied to Jones. LOU
den then worked Bobby Keefe, whom
Manager Casey picked to win from the
Tigers, for a free ticket. Stealing second
in quick order, he counted on .Kelly's
drive 10 left for two bases. In the fifth
for the Royals. after two were down,
Colvin and Keefe hit safely and Joyce
was dead-headed to the initial bag. 1t
was then up to Cockill and he hit a hard
drive to right that Meyers kidnapped after
q short run, and the inning was over, with
the bases populated.
The sixth was the next round of scoring.
Kelly was an easy infield out. When
Colvin played tag will Meyers's grounder
the batter was safe ut first. Then some
Trims happened. for Gettman connected
a clean home run to right field. O'Neil
made the throw home. but Krichell, try
ing to stop Jake from scoring, was
knocked off his feet by Gettman. who
was travelling at a fast clip. The former

Krichell came In for a roast" In the
Royals's turn with the willow Corcoran
started with a double. After O'Neil and
Jones had been retired Krichell hit through
short. scoring Corcoran. From then on the
locals went out In order.
Crisp got a life when Keefe fumbled his
grounder in the final round. McGinnity
sacrificed. third to first. and as no one
covered ,third base Crisp kept on going
up safe at third. Louden then responded
with a double to left and Crisp scored run
number four.

Jake Gettman broke up the plans
which were prevailing in the
first game of the series with
the Royals yesterday, when Joe
McGinnity and Bobby Keefe were hav-
ing a duet, by landing on one of the
Scots benders. 1t went sailing, sail
ing, and as Benny Meyers walked home
ahead of Quick Jake"i naturally
enough 1t broke up the game and
blasted Bobby's hopes.
1t was not the first homer for Jake,
nor will it be the last.
The game was practically ours from
the start. for McGinnity had a shade
on his rival and the Tigers outplayed
Casey's men in the field.
The same teams will meet again to-
day. and it viii likely be Mueller or
Frill against Smith or Winter.
The Tigers will be home Sunday and
play the third game of a series with
McGraw's Giants. Although not a
league game the fans remember the
peppery game the Gothamites play
every time they strike this burg.
There was nothing doing in the run-get-
ting for the Tigers In their turn at bat in
the first, although Iouden started off with
a single to left. The Royals got one run
over in the first on a double and an error.
Joyce started off with pounding the first
field for a double. After Cockill had been
retired Louden fumbled Corcoran's
grounder and Joyce. scored. O'Neil then
hit into a double play, Gettman to Lou

RIVALS, TO PLAY

There will be some tall doings in the
little town of Watsessing Saturday aft

team meets its greatest rivals, the

four games. That the game will be for
blood will be putting it mildly.
Both mines have taken the scalp of Mont
clair A. A. in the annual series and 1t is
difficult to judge who is who. Larry Hes
terrier, who has pitched Bloomfield to VIC
cory In every game but one, will be on
the firing line, and Ernest Wolf will oppose
him. Ernie Is certainly there and may give
the former Eastern Lacquer a surprise be-
fore the battle ends.
Both teams will nave out thek regular
