TORONTO. Ont, Aug. 26.-Another
leg OF the long trip around the Barrow
orbit was chopped off this morning In
the Journey from Buffalo to Toronto.
The seasons series with the Bisons was
wound up yesterday with an even
break. The Herds allowed the Tigers
nine wins and accomplished thirteen
defeats. The Bisons beat the Bengals
six out of eleven at Newark and seven
out of eleven at Buffalo.
A double-header with the Skeeters
has been arranged for tomorrow at
Newark, and Boice, Shontz and Holmes
were shipped to Newark last night.
The regulars will follow after today's
game.
Up to today the Tigers had won three
and lost three this week, which shows
how their work has improved recently.
o
Wyatt Lee has accepted an offer to
coach the Princeton varsity pitchers
next spring. Bill Clarke, the Detroit
scout and former major league catcher,
is head baseball coach at Old Nassau
and has a contract allowing him to en-
gage any assistants he may need. Lee
will receive $50 a week for six weeks,
dating from February I. The work
will not in any way hinder his report
ing to Newark for the spring training
trip. Steve Brodie, who has worn a
Newark uniform. coached the Princeton
freshies last spring. If Lee makes
good, as he surely should, for he is
one of the headiest pitchers in the
game, he will have d steady position.
1t is said, as long as he cares to I'LL
it.
Clarke used to handle Lees delivery
when both were with Washington. He
was behind the plate In what Lee con-
siders the greatest game he ever
pitched, a sixteen-inning battle against
st. Louis, which he lost 10. Cochran's
double, a sacrifice and a fly broke UP
the game. Jack Powell was Lees con-
queror.
The Tigers made ten runs and
twenty-five hits in the double-header
with Buffalo yesterday. Unfortunate
ly for Carlo, they made nine runs

safety, McCabe's bad throw and Ag-
E1er's neat crack to right scored a pair
