GIANTS EASY FOR
WYATT LEE WHEN
HE WAS PITCHING
.Flater, However, With Sore
Finger, Does Not Do So
Well-LOcals Lose.

EXHIBITION games do not win pen
nants n n1ither do sore pitching
arms. Hence Joe McGinnity's
action in compelling Wyatt Lee to sur
render the fort to Johnny Flater in the
sixth inning at the Polo Grounds yes
terday against the Giants, after Lee
had been on the firing line for iye in
nings and held the big leaguers to two
scattered scratch hits and no runs
Newark had the lead when Lee left the
box, by q score of 10. Flater went in
and fve runs were scored off him, maxi
ing the result 81 In the Giants favor.
Flater has a split finger and might
have made a better showing had he
in his true form. Ee was unable
to clutch the ball properly to get con-
troll.
1t was Flater's wild pitch that al
lowed the first Giant run to trickle
over the pan. Wilson had singled and
Wiltse was safe at first on a close de-
cision. Devore sacrificed and then
Doyle flied to Swayne, but Wilson was
held on third. Snodgrass walked, filling
the bases, and then. after having w
strikes on Murray, with the bases full
tlater let go a wild pitch and the first
run came in. Murray then tripled to
right centre and scored when Prick let
the ball get away on Brownies return
throw. There were four runs in one
inning, when there should have been
three tout had Umpire Bedford been
fair in his decisions. In their half OF
the sixth the Tigers had taken the
lead when Louden led with a two-base
bang to left and Meyer sacrificed. Cady
singled TO right, bringing home Louden.
Browne, who starred again in the field
and at bat, raped the ball on the moss
to right, but Murray made a good
catch.
Wyatt Lee was the hero of the first
part of the game. He had the big
ieaguers hitting up in the air and on
the ground, blu never safely. Wilson,
who caught Wiltse, made one hit, while
Josh Devore got a hit the first time up,
and that was the extent of the bingling
at Lees expense. Wyatt came near to
driving In Newark's first run with a
line drive which was nipped by Br d.
we'll after McAllister had sent a rous-
ing double to right centre in the fifth.
Johnny Nee made q couple of sen a
tional stops, and also robbed Fred
Snodgrass of a hit by a leaping catch
Captain McAllister played first
throughout the game Inc Hollc Cady
caught the entire contest. The Evans

KOORE
BOUT EXPECTED
TO Be VERY FAST

~ NE of the classiest bouts of the
year will take place tonight at
the National Sporting Cluo,
when Freddie Welsh and Pal Moore
meet in a ten-round contest. Welsh is
conceded to be the best lightweight in
England, although he recently lost the
title to Matt Wells. He is planning to
return to England to get a return
match with Wells and his showing with
Moore will have an important effect on
his future at home.
Mcfarland will be at the Iingside to-
night to see Welsh perform. He is COM
ing to New York for his match with
Tommy Murphy.
Frank Klaus. the Pittsburg middle
weight. had a shade on Jimmy Card
ner, OF Lowell. Mass. in a six-round
bout at Pittsburg last night. Gardner
did some masterful boxing, and al
though his blows lacked force, they
had sufficient steam to make Klaus
careful. Klaus sent vicious blows at
Gardeners head, and the nimble Mas
sachusetts lad either ducked or side
stepped and sent back singing upper
cuts.
Another possible white mans hope
was uncovered in the opinion of many
persons at the national amateur box
ing championship tournament at Me-
chanics Hall, in Boston, last night.
when John Sevrino, a 200-pound nebl-
Der of the Arnlory A. a., of Boston,
won the heavyweight championship by
disposing Of Joseph Burk Cox, also OF
Boston, in 80 seconds with a sledSe-
hammer right. 1t had required only
two rounds for him to put away I. J..

we're ~knockouts.
Tommy Bresnahan. of Omaha. Neb ;,
and Earl Williams, of ClevSand,
fought ten fast even rounds near

Fighting Dick Nelson stopped
Johnny Waltz. of Jersey City, in the
third round of a scheduled t%en-round
affair at Browns gymnasium last
night.
The ending of the bout was a big
surprise to the large gathering, as
Waltz in a previous bout knocked out
the battling Dane from Brooklyn. In
a later bout. however, Dick succeeded
in getting the shade in q ten-round go
after a tough struggle.

STROUD GOES TO
BUFFALO TEAM
FROM DETROIT
Teams Still Entering Parade.
No More Than Twelve
Men to Nine"

ALPH STROUD has been SOLD to
N Buffalo by Detroit, as was pre-
dicted in the STAR some time
ago. Stroud has a great deal Of speed
and worked well for the Jenningsites
for a time last year. He was given a
trial by the Newark Club two years
ago and farmed out TO Williamsport,
where Detroit dug him up.
Five teams sent applications today
for positions in the opening day parade
planned by Joe McGinnity next Thurs
day. The latest teams to swell the
ranks of the multitude of ball tossers
already scheduled to parade are the
Pacific A. c., Victor A. c., Iroquols
Juniors. Newton A. c., all of this city,
and the Cardinal A. c.. of Kearny.
Manager McGinnity states speci1cal-
~ that % more than twelve players
will be permitted to parade from any
one team. Automobiles are to be pro-
vided for the players on all of the
mines.
Larry Schlafy's team plays here to-
day and tomorrow. The Trojans are
a fast combination and should draw
well. despite the counter attraction of
the major league openings.
Jack cellars Springfield Ponies"
who shut out Newark by a 40 score
last Saturday, did even better against
Jersey City yesterday, defeating the
Ryanites by a tally Of 1872. About 200
fans saw the contest. which was played
at West Side Park. Kessler and Justus
worked OF the firing line for the
Skeeters and were opposed by Case and
Plank for the visitors. The Nutmegers

Slow Joe Doyle is coming back for

old-tirne game at short for the Clam

the roster of the Providence Club are
showing up we'll.
Montreal ma get a pitcher named
Hatch from the ST. Joseph team.
Manager Mccafferty seelns to be in
the same hole as a number of other
Eastern League managers. He is in
sore need of pitchers.
A New York scribe says that Johnny
McGraw offered McGinnity Pitcher
Rustenhaven, but Joe passed him up
because he does not want a ~left-hander
unless he can get Marquard. The
trouble is that some Of the clubs do
not want TO waive on the beauty"
but If they see that McGraw will not
let him get away unless he comes to
Newark perhaps they may finally
loosen up, as was the case with Balti-
more and Jimmy Dygert.
Herbie Moran is leading off for the
Hustlers and is getting in two and
three hits in every game. Moeller has
been dropped to third place In the
batting order. Batch has not been
playing for some reason or other.
though Hienie is one of the best pinch
hitters IN the squad.
