WINNING STREAK AT
TIGERS EXPENSE
One Run Was All Bengals Could
Score in Either Game Of
Double Bill.

Good things always come in punches.
and it Is likewise with hard luck. For
an illustration of the first axiom see
Saturdays sporting extra for an ac-
count Of the double win against Buff
falo at Bisontown and then e the
details of the dual defeat at Wieden-
mayors Park yesterday, received at
the hands of the Leafs. One -un In
zach contest was the net total of the
Tiger tallying. The scores were s to !
and 4 to l.
OF course, Toronto needed them more
than we did, out then it's not a very
pleasant sensation to be beaten twice
in one day before an enthusiastic home
assemblage that turned out about 5000
strong to welcome<se team home after
a fairly successful road trip. Indeed
the trip which wound up on Saturday
at Buffalo was the most successful
campaign the Bengals have made on
the road this season. They all but got
an even break in the series. Had they
taken one more game at Rochester
the series for the twelve games on the
road would have beer six and six. AS
II was, the Bengals won two out Of
four at Montreal and the same number
at Buffalo. They should have had an
even break at Rochester, but w err
rors in the ninth tossed away the game
Lee pitched.
The Tigers returned, therefore, es-
terday morning with a record of five
games won on the road and even lost.
