TIGERS RETURN
HOME WITH BUT
FIVE VICTORIES
Bengals Wound Up Road Trip
at Rochester Yesterday by
Losing to the Champions in
the Ninth lnning-Jungelites
Played Fourteen Games.
TT was home sweet home for the

TT was home sweet home for the
Tigers today, for a thirteen-day
stay, and very glad the Bengals
were to get back to old Newark, after
the rough treatment accorded them by
the home teams in their first swing
around the upper half OF the circuit.
The Tigers won u five out Of four
teen games.
The weather was the best that the
Tigers enjoyed ON a spring trip to that
part of the country in years. In Mon
treal especi; lily the weather mar sprung
a surprise, and some of the Newark
players who had been going to Montreal
for years were astonished to find real
spring weather and no rain. Jack
Kelly said he never remembered a bet
ter spring in Canada. AS a rule. there
are several postponements due to rain
there on the first trip. The only post
ponements were e~ncountred at Toronto
and Rochester, n game being pre-
vented in each city.
The Tiger pitchers made their best
showing against Rochester and with a
little luck might have made a better
showing. Rochester's last two Veto
ries were won in the ninth, including the

saw affair up to the sixth, when Roch-
ester tied it and the teams fought 1t
out ever until Alperman's single. Spei-
GERS sacrifice, a pass to Mitchell and
Dessau's single gave the Hustlers their
fourth and winning tally.
Manser and Smith were the pitchers.
Manser lasted till the fifth, when Gan
eel derricked him and saved the game.
1t was Smiths initial start for New
ark and he showed a flash of his big
league form, but needs more work be-
fore he hits his stride. He was hit
eleven times on distinct and separate
occasions, eight singles. two doubles
and a triple being among the wallops.
Dalton's double, Tricks sacrifice and
a single by Nee. who is batting eight
hundred nowadays, gave Newark a
one-run lead in the second.
In the third Rochester went to the
front with two runs. resulting from
Spencer's single and doubles by Moran
and Foster.
The score was: Rochester 2, New
ark /, until the fifth. Then Prick hit
| through Foster and scored on success
sive singles by Nee and Agler. follow
ing which Manser was derricked.
Dessau relieved the blonde Camp
towner and McAllister sacrificed Nee
to third and Johnny tailed on Smiths
fy to Moran.
Newark couldn't hold the one-run
advantage, and a single by Foster, fol-
lowed by Moeller's triple. tied the score
in the sixth. The Hustlers won In the
ninth, as explained above.

MURPHY AND BROWN FIGHT THEIR
RUBBER MATCH In new YORK TONIGHT

and Ahearn are both facing a crisis in
their pugilistic careers tonight. The
winner Is to be given a chance to meet
Matt Wells. the English lightweight
champion. who is due to arrive here
today, and who will be an interested
spectator at the ringside. Opinion as
to the outcome of tonight's fray is
pretty evenly divided and the followers
OF each man say that they will bet the
limit. Several good preliminary con-
ests have been arranged, the first going
on at S:45 o'clock sharp, the men en-
tering the ring for the main bout at
1915 o'clock.
William Brennan, the Buffalo weller

much patching up to get satisfac-

two weeks of sickness studying the

nesses and came to the conclusion
that new one is needed
No. was favored but the Sundays
are poorly arranged and are not equit-
able. 1t is also pointed out that Han

it fifteen games in stretch on the

instances, call for nine games in
row between two clubs. A team plays
at home say with Monmouth three
days, then goes to Monmouth for
three. and as wind-up Monmouth is
back for a series an arrangement that
undoubtedly make the schedule weak.

foussif Mahmout, one of the biggest
men in the wrestling game today,
promises to entertain wrestling fans
at the Grand opera house Saturday
evening when he appears here against
some of the classy stars of the middle
west.
Mahmout will meet all corners and
promises to clamp their shoulders to
the mat three times in en- hour.
The career of Mahmout since COM
ing to this country only short time
ago has been followed with more in
terest than possibly any wrestler in
the past decade He has taken rank,
in the short time that he has been
here, with Gotch. for several years
the champion: Hackenschmidt, the
Russian Lion" and Zbyszko This
quartet includes the leading stars
now on the mat.
Keokuk and the surrounding vicinity
and nearby towns are being awakened
to what is before them in this appear
ance of Mahmout. Being one of the
greatest opponents the game has pro-
duced in the past few years. he is
defending his title against them all,
even Gotch himself, the foreigner
claiming that he still holds the title
of worlds champion because of the
action of Farmer Burns in Omaha,
when he publicly HANGED over the
crown to Alahmout on Gotch's behalf
The promoter of the wrestling bout
Saturday night has secured one Of the
big husky grapplers from the dam TO
go against the champion, in addition

ises to revive the wrestling game in

be on the wane. because it has never
been given a thorough trial here. The
only man of class with the exception
Of Farmer Burns, now has BEEN
was the champion, Frank Gotch, but
he worked only in an exhibition.
There are no exhibitions with Ma
hmout. He goes on as defender Of
his crown. There are many fans who
really love the wrestling game and
this will be their first real opportunity
of having their wishes gratified
The promoter of the match is John
Hall of Quincy. who is one of the big
gest magnates outside of the me-
tropolises. He says if the go proves
a success Keokuk will receive
matches in the future that
will be as good as any
seen in Chicago, st. Louis, Omaha,
Kansas City and the other large cities
within FIVE hundred miles.
An effort is being made to arrange
several spicy preliminaries.
