Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-08-01

Joe Kelley will, to the day he dies,
blame himself for the defeat suffered
here yesterday by his Toronto team.
after winning sixteen games in a
row Kelley was suffering with a
slight attack of throat trouble, and
feeling that his team was well nigh
invincible he decided to run down to
his home in Baltimore.
While the defeat of the Leafs was
in no way due to mismanagement,
Kelley feels thai a he been present
the charm might not have been broken.
Kelley hoped on an early train out
of Baltimore this morning to be here
for this afternoons game.
Thirdbaseman Bill Bradley, OF the
Leafs, is also out of the game, suffer-
ing from an attack of the same sort as
his manager. The Leaf players blame
it on the cool weather and dampness
of their clubhouse.
TO win the games yesterday Joe NC
Ginnity had to pitch at his best fol
eight innings, using his head at all
times, and even then the Leafs gathered
two runs of his delivery in the eight
innings he pitched. One of Their was
due to a rank error, but the Bengals
made up for it in the ninth, they
came from behind, made five hits in a
row and scored twice with one down.
The score was 3-2.
Lester Bachman, the man who came
back was the first Leaf pitcher to
suffer defeat and thereby fracture the
long winning streak, Bachman came
to Toronto from the Cardinals with
Catcher Phelps in a deal made'last WIN
ter. He had nothing in the spring, and
was farmed to Larry Schlafiy's Troy
team. But he went so well there that
he was speedily recalled and Ted
Gather, a Tri- State League recruit
Who started in the Eastern by winning
several straight. was sent to Troy.
The Bengals played with two of their
regulars out of the game at the start
of the contest. Johnny Nee was IN
right, owing to the Illness of Bailey,
and Reams covered third, ecaus LOU
don's finger is in bad shape. Reams
made one error which allowed a run
to score.
Later Reams was benched to allow
Nee to bat and Louden had to finish
the game at third. He had one chance,
which he accepted. In the fourth the
first run was hung up by h Tigers.
Nee's single, Agler's sacrifice, which put
Nee on second; Nee's clean steal of
third and Kelly's clout to left scored
the run.
The Leafs came right back and sin
giles by Kocher, Fitzpatrick and Bach
man tied the score. Then they took
the lead in the eighth. Two were down
when Delehanty walked. Jordan
bounced a hit off George Smiths shins
and the ball went to right. Nee got 1t
and had a chance to head D~elehanty
at third, but his throw to Get the To-
ronto captain slipped through Reams
and Delahanty tailed.
The Tigers had two On with none
down in the eighth, but their best bat
tiers failed in h pinches. 1t remained,
then, for the ninth to turn the trick.
The Leafs fought desperately and
knocked down all kinds of drives in the
ninth, but the Bengals made V in a
row n Kelly, who sacrificed. vas the
only Tiger to die in this session before
Newark scored two uns.
Agler started the ninth with a single.
Kelly sacrificed. Dalton added another
infield hit and George Smith tied 1t up
with a clean single to left. George is
pretty valuable in the pinches as a
batter, his hit scoring Agler. Fisher
added an infeld hit to Vaughn and the
bases were filled. Louden then got a
hit, which Fitzpatrick was able to
knock down, but Dalton was over the
plate with the run that won.
