Hitting of Schlafly, Kelly and
Ganley Give Bengals a
3-2 Victory.

n Quality is IN our midst today,
the blue-blooded Royals from
far-off Montreal being quartered
in our fair city. The enemy who treat
ed us SO unmannerly and subjected us
to three discourtesieS in a row at the
Canadian city on the Tigers last trip
to foreign soil is within our gates, and
woe to them ere they depart hence
Sunday evening.
Half of the Tigers home games on
their present stay have row been COM
pleted and the Bengals nave won foul
and lost three. The other contest,
which was with Toronto. had to be post
poned yesterday because Of the rain,
after the first game had been decided
at the local park and won by Newark,
score 3 to 2. The postponed contest
will have to be played at Toronto, as
the Tigers will not entertain the Leafs
again at the local park this season. and
the Eastern League constitution makes
the game necessary at Toronto.
This season at Newark has been one
of the worst in years for wet weather
and postponements. On the two road
trips the Tigers have met with only
one postponement due to rain. and that
was at 0lOIlIGdis I1cIt II has DGCu
raining, off and on, ever since they
returned from the last ~sojourn. That
game with the Leafs seemed hoodooed,
for it had to be declared off on account
Of the rain on three different days.
The anne game was originally intended
for Monday. Rain prevented it, how
ever, and a double-l1eader was decided
upon for Tuesday.
1t was impossible to play the first
game On that day, due to the rain, end
the two games were shifted to yester-
day. For a change the first game was
gotten through all right, though after
playing an inning and "a half of the
second encounter the contest had to be
called because of the whims of Jupe
Pluvius. Only a handful of fans
turned out to see the games, and Ne
Ginnity lost heavily on the weather
mans pranks.
When the Leafs left last night for
Baltimore they carried with them two
defeats and one lucky victory at the
Newark Clubs expense.
The two Macs McGinnity and Nc
Ginley, were pitted against one another,
and the former Mac came out on top
with flying colors. Delehanty, who re-
turned to the game for the Leafs yes
terday, was the only member of the
visiting club who could solve the evolu-
tons through which the sphere gyrated
under the Tiger chiefs mastery direc-
tons. Del started 1t with a homer in
the second, which scored the first run
of the game. and then tripled at the
beginning of the seventh and scored
the Canucks' second and last tally.
Delehanty's homer in the second was
a drive which fell between Ganley and
Gettman and bounded into the bleach
ers in right entire and gave his team
the lead. but the Bengals lost little
time in canceling this advantage.
Kelly started Newark's half of the
same inning with a single past third.
Gettman swung lard at the pellet and
it bounced in front of the plate. Ton
neman got it and tossed to first, head
ing Jake, but it was as good as a sac
rifice, as Kelly shuffied down to sec
ond on the out. A moment later the
Newarkers worked tks h~it-and-run
play perfectly, and when Schlafy
squeezed a safe grounder between Null
len end Slattery Baltimore Johnny cut
gravel for the registration station.
That tied the score.
A sensational one-handed catch by
Ganley cut off a man and a hit for Nc
Ginley in the third.
The Toronto HEAVIER put his weight
into the swing and the ball seemed
