TIGERS SLIDE
FURTHER DOWN
THE TOBOGGAN
Ryan's Pests Have Won Thir-
teen of Seventeen Games
Played in Inter-City Series.
Last Appearance of Bengals at
West Side Park Today.

All nope of the Tigers passing the
Shelters and finishing higher than
seventh place were practically squelched
for good yesterday afternoon when the
Pests bled the Tigers again. The
Skeeter rivals are away ahead in the
seasons intercity series. Ryan's Pets
have cleaned up thirteen of the seven
teen games played to date. AS a rule
the series between the two bitter Jer-
sey rivals are very close, but this year
the Skeeters simply smothered the
Jungle providers. Today's game at
West Side Park marks the final APP
p%earance of the Bengals in Jersey city
for 1911. and Tiger rooters are glad,
for above all things they hate to be
Inundated by the Hudson county rep
resentatives.
The Skeeters fell on Boice yesterday
like an avalanche on an ant hill, and
after driving him out, of the box in the
sixth session they also fell ON Shontz
rather freely. Shontz, however, was
delegated to the hurting task before
he was properly warmed up. Seventeen
hits were gathered in by the avaricious
and Yoracious Shelters. The Bengals
chucked in a trio Of errors, and out
of this material the Skeeters brewed
their eleven runs. Jack Thoney's speed
on the bases was again a revelation.
Jack, despite his hard luck, is as fast
as ever, and twice he took two bases
on ordinary looking hits. Jack twice
dented the rubber for his team.
Big Cady was a huge tower of
strength to the Bengals. His defensive
work was marvellous, the Galiva giant
throwing six of the homesters out on
the bases, With the bat he was a
terror to Bumpus Jones, connecting for
a single, a double and a triple and
maintaining a 900 batting average for
the day.
Wheeler. of the Skeeters, has been
out of the game owing to illness and
Fullerton again subbed in right field,
The eX-Giant had one very raw error
i'm the field. but again earned distinc-
ton as a place hitter. Fullerton has a
knack of half-swinging and half-bunt-
ing the ball, and it shoots by the pitcher
before the opposing finger can reach 1t.
At the same time it is too weak n
puny TO reach the second-saoker who
has to come in and make an awkward
turn to throw to first, In nine chances
out of ten a fast runner can beat the
throw every time, unless the econd-
sacker pulls off something sensational.
Fullerton turned the trick on Monday
and yesterday he beat out four hits, a
really remarkable record. Three of
those hits were puzzlers, as explained
above. She other was a deep hit to
Fisher.
Martin Walsh, who was a member of
the hurting corps of the Norfolk, Va.
League club this season, was present
yesterday, and it is said that he would
like to hook up with the Newark club.
Martin is a brother of the famous ED
Walsh. the White SoX spitballer.
Tomorrow will be a day OF rest,
which will be welcomed by the pitchers.
Either McGinnity or Holmes was slated
to work today.
Paul Tentler, the New York boy, REQ
commended to Joe McGinnity by Bill
Connors, the rooter, was in Nev"rk
uniform yesterday. He will be given a
chance to show in some of the remain
ing games. in which the Tigers have a
big lead or are hopelessly beaten.
