BUFFALO, Aug. 26.-The speed at
which the Tigers are going just now
cannot be better shown than by a look
at the batting figures of the bengals
for the three games played in Roches-
ter, two Of which they won If the
team does as well In every city there
will be every kind of joy in McGin-
nity's camp, for with winning the ma
tority on this trip and the long stretch
of games at home there won't be many
teams to beat them. The boys are in
Buffalo today ready to TAXI a whack at
President Potter's team. That there is
something coming to. the Bisons is
made sure from the fact that Mr.. Pot
ter has threatened to deny the use of
the dressing-room to the Tigers unless
$40 be paid him for some damage done
the door during the Tigers last trip.
MIR. Potter hasn't much use for Jake
Gettman an, named him as the mar
who broke In the door Jake indignantly
denies the charge. The upshot of the
affair may be that the Tigers will dress
at the hotel instead of the grounds. For
the Rochester series just closed the
Tigers outplayed the leaders in all de-
~partments. The Newarkers as a team
batted .256, while all John Cancels
crew could do was .231. Five men in
the Tigers hit from 300 up, Kid Mueller

LEWIS AND WEST MEET
AT LONG ACRE TONIGHT,

Willie Lewis and Billy West will
represent the east and west sides of
New York city in a boxing bout at the
Long Acre A. A, in West T~wenty-ninth
street tonight. They will meet in the
star bout and will endeavor to show
their respective adherents just which
side of the big city can produce the
best real scrapper.
Lewis is in great condition, as his
victory over Sailor Burke showed, and
West, since defeating Johnny Carroll
at the Long Acre last Saturday night,
is confidence ~personifed.
Besides these two boxers nearly
every other pugilist in the city will be
at the Long Acre tonight to help make
the stag a success, as the proceeds of
the entertainment will go toward the
support of the family of the deceased
sporting writer, Patsy Kenealy.

counted for something. Louden's .43
points were timely. too, and Osborne,
the Hustler outfielder. kept Joe Crisp
from breaking into the hit" column
in both the games he worked. So far
as fielding goes, there is no comparison
between the teams. The Hustlers made
three errors in each game, while in the
entire series the Tigers had but as
many as they had in one. The Hustlers
had but four extra base hits, the Tigers
had just as many. So there you are.
The Tigers came out of hat Rochester
fray in fine style with Rochester a
beaten crew. It looks to me as If New

that the Ganzelites must finish the sea-

The new record for a mile is 2:O1iz.

Hamburg Bellies time is 2.oI and
2:01%.
The betting at first was at even
money, but when the pools first opened
the Hamburg Belle money came in a
stream. Finally the Uhlan packers be-
came so scarce hat the odds dropped
to SIS to SIS in favor of Hamburg
Belle.
Hamburg Belle got away with a head
advantage at the start. She drew
away from Uhlan until she was a
length ahead at the quarter pole.
Ghlan sped up in the next quarter, and
at the half he was but a neck behind
Hamburg Belle, but the mare came

Blair's fingers. and he had to leave the
game. Camel and Simmons were easy
money after all the damage had been
done.
Except that Mueller walked in the
sixth, it was Indian file for the Tigers.
The same can be said of the Hustlers
for their part, for Batch's walk was
the only thing that broke up the line
of march from the plate to the bench
for them. The Kid famed Mcconnell,
with Batch on second, and he was Civ
en- a hand for it.
Osborn saved the game in h seventh
inning for the Hustlers by another
great catch. Kelly had singled and
was sen to second when Mcconnell hit
Schlafy a fierce blow on the back. Mr..
Camel got busy at once, signalling for
Cy Barger, and out went Mac and in
came Cy. Things looked rosy for New
ark at this stage of the game, for when
Gettman laid down a pretty sacrifice
bunt to Barger Camel missed Cy's
throw to get Jake.
Jimmy who had hit ICY" pretty
hard Monday, lac a harder job cut out
for him when the proposition o. clear
ing the bases was put up to him. He
put up a high fly to Osborn Kelly
thought he'd take a chance scoring,
but the former big leaguer's throw to
Erwin was a peach, and there were
two out. Bud Sharpe had made two
hits out of three times at bat up tc
this time, so ICY" took a chance or
him and filled the bases. Benny
Meyers, tina whom there INT a more
earnest man on the team, came to the
bat with blood in his eyes. He waited
OUT ICY pretty well, drawing three
balls and two strikes as his lot. "Cy'
had to put it over, and when he did
Benny landed on one that sailed away
back in centre. E~yerv0ody was count
ing up the Newark .uns, when, all OF
a sudden, hat fellow Osborn, going al
full speed, took the ball and there were
three Newarkers out and three of them
left on bases. That was enough to
take the heart out of a stone.
But foul men faced Mueller in the
next round, and the Hastlers were
certainly docile. In the eigf 1 Crisp
tried to start something, but that fell
low Osborn was there again with his
legs and his hands. For he ran over
to right field, and with his glove hand
caught a fierce wallop from Crisp's
bat that was bound for automobile row.
The Kid waited out Barger for an
other start, but Louden struck out
and Kelly forced the Kid at second.
The fifth and last Rochester run
came in the eighth inning, when SIM
mons, who had singled and had been
sacrificed to second and had got to
third when the Kid gave two bases
on balls, scored on a long fly by An
derson to Gettman.
There was a nance for more Roch-
ester runs, with two on base, but the
Kid frightened up n made Pattee
force Erwin at third. There wasn't a
chance in the ninth, and GU went the
Bengals in regular order. Osbor
brought his days work to a close with
another wonderful catch of Zimmy's
hard-hit fly.

80 RIyEs that would aid in amasslng a grand total

feat of the Tigers by a score of 5 to I. If the Broncos
did not carry horseshoes in the game then they are
marvellous players, most phenomenal seen in many a
day. osborn in particular played a great game. Time
ana again he brought the anxious Rochester rooters to

mor2 prominent and popular man last night in this
