EASTERN LEAGUE
49,. DROPS

Getting out of Providence with an even
break was not bad; that Rhode Island
burg has SO often proved to be a hoodoo
for the Tigers.
Rumor has it that the umpiring handed
out in Providence did not help the New
arks any. But, then, we have heard that
sor1 of thing before.
They do say that it was an excellent
thing for Mr.. Byron that yesterday was
Sunday He. would not allow a run that
tismond brought home by a daring steal
Byron declared that Merritt. who was at
the bat, interfered with the play.
Sammy Smith. a. New York boy. who
has gained considerable fame in the metro
poiitans section. Immediately made good
with the Royals this season. and now II
is said that he is to be sold to the Detroits.
The scouts which Hughey Jennings sends
out reported very favorably on Smith and
negotiations We're Immediately opened.
What a great thing that Eastern League
race is. The teams are shaken up every
time that a round of games is completed.
Two defeats in n row are usually enough
10 send a team from near the top 70 a
place not far fram the cellar.
It's now for the Orioles. Inasmuch as
the Baltimore champions are now holding
down second place, and we want 1t. 1t
will be I'D TO us TO get about all of those
five games thGtswc are going to play with
Jack Dunn's pets.
They are going to bring the Tigers. back
to Newark sunday and give them a chance
to beat the Giants. These exhibition
affairs used to take pretty well In this
town. but there is a suspicion. that the
average Newark fan would prefer to see
the Tigers play championship games. II
he can't get that, he likes to 20 over-to
New York and see the Giants take part
in games that mean something.
Byron was In bad at Jersey CITY when

claring Merritt out for Interference at the
