Cancels Men Lucky to Get
Away With One Game
Out of Four.
BY FRANK J. M'TAGUE.

LTHOUGH Rochester managed to-
IA win n game out of four from
the Tigers yesterday by the mar
row score of 5 to 4, the of the
four games played between the rival
teams since opening day clearly shows
that McGinnity's men have outclassed
Long John Cancels outfit in every de-
partment of the game SO far.
The Tigers trouced the cham
pions' leading pitchers, Mcconnell,
LATTE and Savidge, in order,
and yesterday drove Holmes out
of the box, and were getting to La
fitte when h game ended. The most
marvellous feature of the series was the
wonderful pitching of Iron Man Nc
Ginnity. If ver Joe lived up to his
reputation he did it in the series Just
closed. Out Of the thirty-six innings
played he pitched twenty-five and gave
the Hustlers but an even dozen hits,
and had the satisfaction of showing
up John Camel. Everyone knows that
"Pop-up" John prefers to look on when
Joe is on the rubber, and after opening
day, when he had to show himself and
stick with his men, he laid down until
Saturday, when he went in to bat for
Of his men, and the best he could
do was to pop UP and thus uphold his
rep"
The Tigers allowed the visitors. but a
single run in twenty-seven innings, and
it is doubtful if any other clu ever
made a better record so early in the
season. especially against the cham
pions of the year before.
Briefly, the Tigers scored ten runs

six. They banged out just wenty-
four hits, which was two more than
the pennant-winners made, and while
the Tigers were charged with a pair
of errors the visitors made seven. TAX
ing everything into consideration, the
champions were not in it with the
Bengals.
On the bases the Tigers showed Gan
zel's players up in great style, and we
don't blame Long John" for not play
ing after the 'bonehead" play he made
in the second game, which has beer
told and retold too often, so it's time
to have a little pity on the champions
leader, and we will not repeat.
Joe Agler stole second while Holmes
had the ball in his hand. Perhaps he
was just trying to get the catcher's
signal, but then it's not baseball. The
Tigers worked the double-steal twice
in the same inning and scored on one
occasion on it Furthermore the locals
seem to play more inside baseball and
use their brains more often.
Kid Mueller was the one to get away
with the second game and arrayed
against him was LATTE. The Tiger
outpitched the former Providence
finger and whitewashed the travellers
2 to 0.
In the game Saturday Savidge OPP
posed big Mac" and worked his head
off to win. but Joe had everything, and
gave the champs" but two hits. Be
sides the Iron Man" singled after
Crisp doubled and the hit won the
game. Agler and Gettman secured the
Tigers other bingles. Jake also made
a great run for Holly's Texas Lacquer
in the ninth, so as to give McGinnity
the credit for a one-hit-no-run game,
but the f1eet-footed guardian in centre
missed by inches. He o a somer-
sault and many thought he was in
jured, but Jake had better luck.
Camel and his men shift to Provi-
dence, and Ed Barrows and the Mon
treal players, who always manage to go
