Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1910-09-22

Il sHOR the second time WITHIN a week
Newark won a game by a sensa-
tional ninth-inning rally yester-
day afternoon. The gauntlet finish OF
yesterday, however, eclipsed anything
seen in Newark this season, and many
seasons previous. 1t occurred In the
first game, when in the ninth inning
the Tigers were four uns behind, with
a man on first and two out before a
run came in. six hits and a base on
balls enabled the Tigers to score the
five runs necessary to win the game.
When the BengNs began their belated
rally the score stood 3 to I against
them. When 1t was all over Newark
had 3 runs and Providence s. The sec
ond game went to Providence by a 6
to 3 score.
Joe McGinnity started the first game,
but was touched up freely and retired
in favor of Wyatt Lee. Lee took a big
hand in the rally by singing ana
doubling in his two trips to the plate.
The three runs that were scored upon
him In the ninth were the results OF
a couple of fluke hits principally. In
the seventh Lee batted for the Iron
Man after Hearne had walked, and he
responded with a single to right.
Hearne tried for third on the hit and
scored when Hoffman made a wild
peg. Lee next came to bat in the ninth
with two out n a man on first. Agler
had reached the getaway bag as the re-
suit of a safe bunt, but Hearne and
McAllister had given up the ghost, and
the prospect of scoring four runs in
order to tie were decidedly on the
blink, according to the way most of
the fans saw things. Lee showed his
pluck and fighting spirit with a sting
ing double to the left field fence that
started all the trouble. Agler scored
on the hit with ease. Lees spirit en-
couraged the other Tigers and had the
effect of setting off the fireworks.
Browne followed Lee with a single to
centre, on which Wyatt took third.
Browne stole second and Eddie Zim-
norman. the little big lacquer, who is
giving a demon demonstration at the
bat, followed with a wallop to the
middle pasture and In trotted Messrs.
Lee and Browne.
Newark was still one run to the bad
at this stage and Zimmerman had been
held on first, rs Pholan did not try
to get either man at the plate. The
crowd now. slim though it was, was
roaring wild. When Schlany followed
Zimmerman with a hit past second,
sending Eddie to second, there was
more Joy, especially when it was seen
that Johnny Kelly was trudging to the
plate, Steele did not give Kelly a
chance to shine and handed him -four
wide ones. Everything now depended
on Bob Ganley, who came to the plate
swinging his two bats. as the bases
were filled and one run needed to tie
and W. to win. Ganley allowed the
first one, which cut the plate, to go
by, n a strike was called. He fouled
off the next and the crowd groaned
Bob clutched his bat with a determina-
ton to do or die as Steele wound up
again. The ball left Steele's hand
bound for the plate and it left Gan
ley's bat on a line for the right field
bleachers. Hoffman and Phelan, of
the Grays, were after the wallop like
2 flash. but when 1t dropped safe al
lowed it to roll away as Zimmerman
and Schlafy had crossed the plate, and
the game was over.
As Benny Meyer put it the Iron
Man was pitted against the Steele
man at the start of the first game,
Steele showed the better staying pow
ers. Neither pitcher got away to q
good start. Hoffman walked in the
first, was sacrificed TO second and scored
on Elston's double to left. 1t was the
first of Elston's long smashes. Before
the afternoon wal over he had made
two homers, three doubles and Il single
Some batting. Good enough to war
rant a trial by the Boston American
League club, to which he has been sold
Martini singled to centre and Elston
tailed, while Browne held the ball toe
long. Newark cancelled this lead II
the same round, when Browne beat Out
a bunt and Zimmerman did likewise OF
Kelly's inheld out. In the second inn
ing Gillespie, a new third-sacker
picked up by Jimmie Collins from the
New York State League, started witt
a line drive to centre. He was forced
out by Fitzgerald, but Steele hi
through schlahy, and when Browne
made a bad peg to third Fitzgerald
scored. McAllister promptly evened VI
the o with a homer, which bounded
into the right field bleachers In New
ark's half.
A homer BY Elston put the visitors
in front again IN the lHlTu, anu lhcS
