MONTREAL, Quebec, Sept. with
$he team in bad shape, three double
headers In three days are not a pleas
ant prospect, especially after the Tigers
lost their seventh straight game yes
terday. At the same time he Iron
Mans performers can be depended
upon to put up their old lighting front
against the hated Skeeters tomorrow
at Jersey City. The Shelters are not a
whole lot better off than the Tigers. The
Bengals have been wondering II that
tftieth game is a hoodoo In the won
column. Somehow or other they cannot
get over that forty-nine victory mark.
though they should have passed the
half-century credit lumber in Toronto
an that extra game lost by, Cantwell.
Today marks the final appearance or
Newark in Montreal, and none of the
Tigers are sorry TO say good-by TO
this iceberg for ball players. Bill
Louden was congratulated by all hands
last night on his coming promotion to
She Detroit club. Bill will probably be
called upon to play third base. left va
cant by Moriarity. He should make
good. Louden began his career with
the Dallas Texas League Club in 1907,
was sold to the New York Americans
In 1908 and farmed to Montreal, recalled
and turned over to Newark. This is
his third year with the Bengals.
Monday will be a real Labor Day for
the Tigers. Jumping to Jersey City to-
morrow fronf here, the Bengals will
leave again at 8 p. m. for Baltimore
to play in morning and afternoon en-
Eagements. The balance of the week
will be spent in Baltimore and Proyi-
dence. Newark fans haye not yet had
an opportunity to see Jack Thoney, the
Bullet, who was the Eastern Leaguers
best with the Toronto champions OF
1907. Thoney, who has returned to the
Eastern League with Jersey City, is
still a shadow on the base paths, but
his once steel-springed whip is forever
gone. He is unable to throw the ball
at all except with an underhand mo-
tion, and he passes the sphere TO his
fellow gardener, Otto Deiringer, when
a throw to the infield is necessary.
Thoney cannot throw because his right
arm was dislocated and never prop
erly attended to until too late. If he
throws with an overland motion the
tsoup bone" as ball players call the
throwing wing, slips out of its socket.
How Thoney injured his arm has never

of rumors have zone the rounds. Jack
met his injury two weeks before the
Eastern League season closed the year
he was sold to the Boston Americans.
Jersey City was playing Toronto and
lrhoney was on first, Pfanmiller pitch
sing and Merritt playing first. The
Skeeter pitcher was anxious to catch
Jack off first and threw to first Ave
times. The sixth time Thohey slid In
and twisted his shoulder, throwing his
right arm out of gear. 1t would have
healed all right had not Jack disobeyed
his physicians orders by throwing too
soon, and his arm has forever lost
its cunning. The Tiger fans will get
"a chance to see Thoney tomorrow at
Jersey City. Jack was always popular
an Newark.
Second Baseman French, of the Roy
ais, was injured more severely thar
was at first supposed when he was hit
on the head by a pitched ball in New
ark last month. He has been unable to
play a gam since then. Yesterday was
derby day" for baseball players, and
there is an unwritten law than any
player wearing a straw hat after Au-
gust 31st is liable to have it smashed.
New derbies, hats and caps were In
evidence everywhere yesterday.
