BALTIMORE, Nd, june 10.
Z following today's game here
with the Orioles, the Tigers will
hop aboard a train which will
land them in Newark by midnight, and
tomorrow the New York Americans,
with Hal Chase in command, will be
the visiting attraction al Wiedenmay-
er's Park In an exhibition game.
George Boice, the Irvington pitcher.
who earned brackets by his excellent
performance against the Grays last
week, will start the game. and IL ne
shows the form he did last week, lie
will give those fellows from the hilltop
a mighty argument.
Manager Joe McGinnity, of the
Tigers. has a suspicion that Hal Chase
will try to palm off Infielder Priest ON
him, for 1t has been noticed tina Priest
has been n into a few American
League games lately. Priest appears
to be a hard man to get rid of. Twice
he has been farmed out and returned.
He played a sensational game at short
for the Danville Virginia State
Leaguers last year, but hit only 1870.
and Newark needs 300 sluggers just
now. Perhaps Herbert Joynes, a third
oaseman recently purchased by the
Yanks from Portsmouth, will be left
in Newark by the Yank management.
Just now Nee is playing a dashing
game at third. He Is absolutely im-
pregnable on ground balls, and can
hold his w with any third basemaa
in the league on fielding hunts in his
direction. The field is in very poor
condition, and 1t is easy to get away
with bunts here, but Schmidt was tho
only one who has fooled Nee to late III
the two games, though several tried it.
Nee Is pegging well, too, and his Wild
throw yesterday was excusable. Agler
played a great game around first, and
was sure death on several swats that
looked good for hits. McCarty handled
Lees delivery like a veteran. and is
the most promising young catcher in
the league. Wyatt Lee made a new
record for himself by tanning thres
times. Wyatt had a strange bat, and
That was the reason. One of the players
broke his faYorite stick last week, and
Wyatt had to send for another Of the
same model. He finds trouble swinging
his new piece of furniture. Jack Kelly
would have been entitled to $50 had
his clout hit the bull in. the fifth, bit
1t sailed over the animals back and
gave "Kel' a homer but no dough-"
" L L was $50 lICklGQ mat ne
said he would give Kelly $50.
A pass to Agler, Kelly's single, Heit-
muller's error and Nee's long sacrifice
fly gave Newark two runs in the first
inning. The Bengals made one more
in the fourth, when Nee doubled.
Meyer advanced him to third on an
out and Louden singled, scoring Nee.
The Orioles came back fast In their
half of the fourth and tied the score.
Rath started 1t with a two-b a gger.
Corcoran famed, but Schmidt laid
down a safe bunt. Heitmuller flied to
Dalton and Rather scored. Walsh's
triple to left tailed Schmidt. MaiseI
hit safely to Nee and Walsh tied the
score. Jack Kelly's home run over the
fence put Newark ahead in the next
round.
The Birds made it even in the sew
enth When Egan hit for two bases.
Adkins laid down a bunt, sending the
home teams backstop to third. Rath's
fly to Bailey scored Egan. The game
was won by the Dunnites in the eighth
inning. Schmidt made a two-bagger
and went to third on Heitmuller's out.
The big initial sacker raced home when
Walsh sent a sacrifice fly to Bailey.
