Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-08-02

Newark fans have their last oppor-
tunity of the season to see the Leafs,
the probable winners of the pennant,
in action in this city her today. Added
to this, the extra attraction of ladies'
day, Manager McGinnity figured that
there ought to be a pretty good crowd.
taking also into consideration the fact
that the last two games played by the
Bengals have been such choice and in
teresting affairs. Joe McGinnity made
his third start in four days yesterday,
and was beaten, l to 0. He allowed
only three hits. but an error by Jack
Kelly put Bobby Vaughn on third with
none out in the fifth, and the Iron
Man" was unable to fool Kocher into
hitting on the ground or in the infeld.
kocher put up an easy fly for Meyer.
Oddly enough. 1t had to go to Meyer,
who had a lame wing. George Smith
ran out to make a relay throw. but
Vaughn is the speediest man on the
visiting team, and there was not a
chance in the world to nail him. When
Benny was playing regularly in the
outield he threw more players at
! the plate than the average Eastern
League out1elder, George Browne, who
threw three in one game, being the
only member of a Newark team to
excel Meyer in recent years. But
Meyer had a cold in his arm, and he
lis taking no chances of impairing the
wing permanently.
Johnny Lush, the Leaf southpaw
was the real hero of yesterdays game
Cady and Kelly were the only Tigers
to solve his delivery for real clear
ticks, while Meyer and Dalton go'
away with inield safeties. on the
other hand, Vaughn and Delehanty
had clean hits off McGinnity, and
Bobby also made a scratchy affair

in the league and the Newark Clul
