First Baseman Henry Gleicilman. who
mas earned for himself the reputation
Of being the best first baseman in the
local semi-pro ranks, donned a Newark
uniform yesterday and practised with
The Tigers. Gleichman is to be given
a thorough trial by the Newark club.
for he has shown unmistakable signs
of ability, and it would be a great thing
for the Newark club TO develop a local
man for the position to be vacated by
Agler.
1t has been said that Gleichman il
the best all around player produced on
local sand lots since Kearny con-
tributed Dots Miller to the Pirates.
Gleichman is a classy frst-sacker
and the idol of the supporters of the
Newark Athletics, for whom he plays
first base.
The Iron Man allowed him to get
in a "unie.'' as the players say. on
George Boice's recommendation. He

no harm to give him every chance TO

Big George Mcconnell, the Hustler
mainstay. was touched up for three
runs by the Bengals in the first game
yesterday in the Rochester series. but
one big inning for the Hustlers settled
/ the contest. The visitors punched Ave
hits, with an error, though the misplay
did no damage. in the way of seorins
runs. The FIVE hits were good for four
runs and the game.
Bill Collins handled himself in 4
manner that made a hit with the rams.
He drove in Newark's first run with q
clean single to centre in the first inz
mini after Agler had hit safe in this
first and reached second on an infeld
out.
His clever leaping catch of Sim
mons's drive ended the Hustlers bom
bardment in the fatal third.
Fosters error. Fishers single and =
pinch hit by Lee gave Newark the
first of the two huns up in the seventh
and o. double steal followed BY Mitch

other.
Holmes seems to be unusually effecY
tive against the Hustlers. as shown pN'
the last two innings he pitched. He.
may be worked in one OF the two re-
maining games. Holmes. 1t will be
remembered, won Newark's only game
in the last series at the Flower city.

into professional baseball in the Three

bases full.
