White Elephants Scoreless After
First Inning When Mueller
Was Not Warmed to Job.

THoUGH they were pitted against
the Philadelphia Athletics, the
sensation of the American
League last year, Manager McGinnity's
Tigers compared favorably in every
way with their major league visitors
in their first home game of the sea-
son yesterday, and it was only by a
combination of hitting, assisted some
what by luck, that the Mack men uc-
ceeded in scoring a victory by a 1-to-0
tally. The Tigers scored only one less
hit than did their distinguished guests
and after the first inning played rings
around their visitors on the field.
Three new Tigers were in the game
and made favorable impressions, Joe
Agler and Ernest Wolfe doing especial
ly we'll. The Tiger twirlers showed ex-
cellent form and the teamwork of the
Tigers was superb.
Kid Mueller opposed Harry Krause,
the star southpaw, and did well, al
lowing fou hits in five innings. The
Mack clan got busy right while Mueller
was not warmed up and made their
run right off the reel.
Bob Ganley, who usurped Kelly's po-
sition in left, also showed up well and
was the only Tiger to reach third. He
further distinguished himself by max
ing the first hit for the Tigers, stealing
second and third besides, and yanking
two healthy wallops from the sky.
Johnny Kelly arrived in time to wit
ness the game INC watched Ganley
work. The Tiger 'hold-out' from the
Monumental City looks to be in fine
shane onl ro1oipa1 a hio ~ tinn u-hat,
he took his position in the coacher's
box.
Another new mar who showed form
on his first performance at the local
lair is Ernest Wolf. The Watsessing
twirler only pitched one inning, the
ninth, but it enabled the fans to get a
line or him, something the Athletic
batsmen who faced him failed to do.
He was as coo as a cucumber. Hart
sell, the first man to lead the attack
on him, went out on an easy grounder
to Agler, unassisted. Oldring died by
way of the Louden-Agler route and
Eddie Collins, the boy with a punch in
either nit, succeeded in getting the ball
only into the waiting mits of Schlafly,
who ferried it to first for an easy out.
Hughey Hearne was in the game for
about a minute, long enough to bat for
McGinnity in the eight and to go out,
Davis to Dygert, the latter covering
the bag.
Considering that the team the
Quakers had on the field yesterday was
practically the same as the one which
scored five runs on the Philadelphia
Nationals on Saturday n almost as
many the day before, the Newark
pitchers showed exceptional form.
The only disappointment of the aft
ernoon was the failure of things to
pan out as Manager McGinnity hoped.
The Tigers played a wonderful game
in the field, not a misplay being chalked
up against them, and our boys proved
that their ~sojourn in the South had
done more han merely give them
healthy coats OF tar.
The team played together like a
well-oiled machine, every cog fitting
perfectly and performing it's function
smoothly. The change at first base in
the infield would not be noticed. Agler
handled himself like a veteran in the
field, and his agility and accurate
throwing caused a great deal of favor
able comment on every side. He fits
in perfectly. and II he continues TO
play as he did yesterday Manager Nc
Ginnity can buy his meal ticket for the
