Moons, Because He Wears
Wyatt's TaIisman - Bengals
Start Four-game Series in
Rochester Today.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. July 24.-Owing
to several delays en- route from Mon
treal the Bengals arrived here three
hours behind time, the journey from
the Royal town consuming fifteen
hours. They reached here shortly be-
fore noon, but they had ample time to
prepare for the first game of the
Rochester series. The Bengals are
booked to play four games here in three
days, a double-header being scheduled
for Wednesday.
The coming series means much to the
Ganzellites, who are now having a NOR
tai combat with Baltimore for the flag.
The Jerseys were treated to three
straight defeats mi the Tigers figure
on an ever break. Wyatt Lee. who has
won nine out of his last ten games. Is
confident he can flag the champs and
McGinnity figures on landing one game
here himself.
Lee has always been a winner against
Rochester. In the last two years he
has taken nine games in eleven against
Cancels employees. The Tigers and
the Orioles were the only two teams
from the lower end of the circuit to get
an even break in the first series on the
road.
The Tigers feat was more c%reditabje
than the Dunnites, for the Orioles were
playing the Bisons, while the Bengals
battled with a first division team.
Holmes broke his hoodoo yesterday by
wearing Lees lucky shirt.
Johnny (sooks) Kelly was cheered
-s.~~-r ill., r. IT. - 49,
day. He doubled and singled twice.
The ones who cheered were Mrs.
Kelly, her sister, and Bob England,
from Harrison.
Parsons, who came near being a
Tiger last season, replaced Barberich
in the fourth. and was wild and easy
in the bargain. 1t was his first act
since becoming a Royal.
Camel will ask the Tigers to play a
doubleheader tomorrow. That will
make four games. Just watch the
Tigers go at the champs. Although Nc
Ginnity admits his wrist does not ap-
pear to be fully recovered, he will pad
die them up in one of the games.

Bob Holmes famed for h twentieth
time yesterday. 1t begins to look as
though the big Texan is after a record.
Don't worry Ducky you'll beat Cobb
and Wagner at whiting.
rabbit" Mattress had three hits and
balanced it with as many errors. The
veteran Roth had three wallops.
Charley Hanford and Ray Demmi
both lac homers, but mad at times
when they only counted for a run,
however.
Holmes only walked n man. Con-
troll is all Bob needs, and he'll be a
winner.
Pat Wright and George Merritt had
a verbal battle at Buffalo. Saturday,
George kicked himself out of the park
and Wright agreed to mix 1t up In the
clubhouse after the double-header. No
knockouts have been reported.

Although the greatest honor the
Bisons claim at this time is leading
the second division, the town is base
ball mad because the Herd ousted the
Birds from first place yesterday when
they beat them twice.

Baltimore opened at Toronto today.
There will be a merry war. The To-
ronto fans will get after Jack Dunn
and his men, for that Kelley affair in
Baltimore is still green in their
memory.
Jack Ferry, the former Jersey City
and Seton Hall player, is leading the
National League in batting. Hans
wagner is the actual leader. Jacks
average for fifteen games is 500. Pretty
good for a pitcher!
Ralph A. Savidge, who pitched good
ball for Rochester and Montreal once
upon a time. and who was released by
Jawn Camel to the Montgomery South
ern League Club, and recently released
by that club, has signed to manage the
Selma Club, of the Southeastern
League.
