HERE READY TO
THROTTLE TIGERS
One Consolation About Orioles
Present Visit Is That Rube
Vickers Will Not Be Working,
as the RUDE Has Broken Nose
and Hand as Result of Fight.
Bengals Lose Again!

Jack Dunn and his band of runner-up
Orioles arrived in New York this
morning and were down to open a
three-battle engagement here this
afternoon against the Tigers. Before
leaving Baltimore Manager Dunn re,

warming the bench in Baltimore, bu.
could not be included with the rest of
the excess baggage.
The Tigers will not have to oppose
Rube Vickers, who has been Baiti-
more's Iron man. this season. Wick
ers got into an argument at Baltimore
yesterday and came out of the fray
with a broken nose and fractured hand.
Just what the nature of the fight was
is not explained in the Baltimore news
papers.
Dygert, Adkins and Frock are the
backbone of the Oriole staff just at
present, and are pitching such consist
ent ball that they have pulled thu
team into second place.
For a time yesterday 1t seemed as
though Ducky Holmes was due 70
break the winning streak of the Skeet-
| ers against the Tigers. The series at
present stands Jersey City won 8, New
ark won l. The Pests have taken
eight straight from Newark, and the
part of the performance that rankles
most is the fact that Newark always
| scored first what looked like an assum-
ing lead, only to be beaten In the en1.
Such was the case in each of the four
games of the series just closed. and
| yesterday was the worst jar Of all,
for Newark seemingly had the game
sewed up, only to lose out in the eighth,
when Holmes blew up. The final tally
was 6 to 4, whereas 1t should have been
4 to 2 in favor of Newark from the
local fans point of view.
The inield was worse than aver yes-
terday because Reams was sick and
Bailey had to be third base guardian,
which meant two more errors Meyer
played short again and worked hard.

The bright features of yesterdays
game on the defensive was a heady
play by Smith which failed to go

back hand stop by Agler, who swung
his right hand across his body and
picked up a ball in the most awkward
position imaginable. 1t robbed Dei-
nipger of o sure hit.
Smiths heady play came in the
sixth. Wheeler led with a single mi
Roach hit to Smith. Wheeler saw he
would be tagged and stopped still in
the base line. Smith then surprised
him by swapping the ball to first and
Wheeler was SO surprised when the
throw got Roach that he did not get
a good start. Agler's throw to second
had Wheeler headed but Benny
couldn't hold the ball and Wheeler
subsequently scored.
Every man on the Newark team
batted once in the first. Three passes
and three hits we're productive OF
three run for Newark and, oddly
enough, Jones retired the other three
on strikes, three runners being left
stranded. Agler scored the other New
ark run on a pass. a steal Inc Keily's
lsingle.
