IRON present indications the season
of 1911 for the Eastern League
will be a financial failure. The
one-sided race, in which Rochester has
a big lead, has had a tendency all
along the line to cut down the attend
ance, The Newark, Jersey City, Mon
treal and Providence teams are draw
ing far below the usual standard, but
it must be admitted that the Newark
fans have turned out pretty fair at
that, taking into consideration the
many reverses suffered by the Tigers.
Buffalo. 1t is said, is only holding its
own. Toronto is having a big yea
while Rochester has suffered a de-
crease in the attendance, because the
Hustlers have been winning too much.
In Baltimore the fans are not turning
out as they ought to for a town of
that size. Baltimore is getting the
benefit of every close decision at home
because Ben Egan has the crowd at
the umpires all the time by his n
slant and often unjust nagging. Egan
is getting by with a lot of rough talk
for which most other players would
have been punished with a fine.
Baltimore won three games from
Newark by one-run scores and ON
Monday scored a Q to 1 victory over
the Shelters. With a bit the better of
1t all the time from the umpires on
close decisions, it is easy 20 see what a
big effect the verdicts of the umpires
have on the result of the games.
On Monday the paid attendance here
was 223 and on Sunday the gate re-
ceipts for the Jersey City-Providence
game at Rocky Point were the smallest
for a Sunday game here in years.
The prospects OF a good crowd today
were slim, for Brown plays Amherst
here, and local fans are "dippy' over
the Brown collegians.
Larry Schlafy evidently is in need Of
pitchers. He has been after one Of
Providence's extra hurlers for several
days.
Cy Parkin is now in Newark. He
babe farewell to his former team
mates yesterday noon. lie will join
the Trojans on Sunday. {
RIP Vowinkle is now with Newark.
but George Smith is not expected until
tomorrow at Newark.
A double win today will mean thai
the Tigers will climb out of last place.
Manager McGinnity hopes hat Shontz
and Boice will turn the trick today.
If Newark makes it three straight from
Jersey City the Tigers will have passed
both the Grays and the Shelters by
Sunday, when Rochester opens at New
ark.
Tomorrow the Tigers play the Skeet-
ers at Jersey City.
Pitcher Bob Holmes is slated to be
sold within a week from present indica-
tons.
Frank Swayne writes that with an
other shortstop and an o%utfelder Erie
would win in a walk. The Erie team
has climbed from last place to second
place since Cleary, Jenkins and Swayne
joined Billy Gilbert's aggregation.
A list of the players bought and sold
by Newark this season and the pres
ent roster follows: Released and sold
Browne, Ganley. Gull, Sykes, johnson,

Here's the reason the Hustlers have
lost five in a row: John Camel is at
his home in Kalamazoo, Mich, attend
ing the funeral of his mother.
