N ETERMINED to take today's
game with the Leafs at all costs,
Joe MeGinnity and his Tigers,
fresh from their close battle with the
Bisons at Newark yesterday, arrived in
good order here before loon.
McGinnity's choice of a pitcher was
known only to himself, but Forest Cady
will catch.
The news that the Tigers star had
been sold to the Boston Red o for
two players, Nebinger and Charley
Smith and $4,000, was the surprise of
the time, though 1t was known he
could not remain unsold long.
Making a hop, step inc jump from
a foreign country for the purpose OF
advancing a step in the Eastern
League ladder, and being defeated by

1t was a game that had the average
fan on pins and needles throughout.
Had ii not been for Bud Sharpe the
game might have gone on longer. At
any rate Bud started the scoring in the
fifth with a neat two-bagger to centre.

didn't mind that extra wallop in the
least. Mcdonald then up and biffed
the sphere to Prick, who made a nice
brow to first, but umpire, again We
say umpire" Kern by name, did not
see Mcdonald out, but Sharpe was held
at third. It was at this period that
Beckendorf stepped up and produced
the necessary wallop that sent in the
lone tally of tho game.
Ralph Stroud, who once was joyous
because he was allowed to travel in ths
Lackawanna League and who since has
gotten a rep in the big show, was on
the mound for the Bison herd, but he
had nothing on our South Dakota
farmer, "Cy' Parkin. Parkin pitched
elegant ball, the best that he has shown
this season. But what could a twirier
do with practically no hitting behind
him.

hope almost shattered.
Just to give the fans something TO

a rally in the ninth inning that proved
