SOUTHPAW PITCHING HAS
NO TERRORS FOR TIGERS
Allen and Yingling of Brooklyn Club Are
Banged for Thirteen Hits by Bengal Bats
men--McG innity Allows but 4 Hits.

Any doubts about the ability of Joe
McGinnity's Tigers TO slam southpaw
finging, and southpaw finging of no
mean brand. were allayed yesterday to
the satisfaction of the faithful fans
who visited Wiedenmayer's Park and
saw the Newark team pounce on Allen
and Yingling, WI Brooklyn larboard-
ers, for thirteen hits and six runs.
Doc Bernard and Cy Seymour, the
Tigers left-hand hitters, bumped Il
two hits apiece. and Harry Swacina!
Harry can't see pitching that comes
from the left hand of the opposing
pill shooter, oh, no! Swats could only
land on Allen for two bristling singles
and a crashing triple. Harry Of
course, is a right-hand hitter, u it's
soothing to know that he's just as
dangerous against the southside pitch
ing as the right-hand flinging.
Allen Looked All Right, at That.
Allen, who worked for the first six
innings, was bought by the Brooklyn
club from Mobile for a sum said to
be Sc, 200. and he did not look bad yes
terday even though he was hit hard
The Tigers had their batting lamps
cleaned. and that vas all there was
to It. In only one of their eight in
nings did they fail to make a hit, and
they played inside baseball on the ag-
gressive and aggressive baseball on the
outside. That's a pretty difficult prop
osition to overcome.
Swacina, Fisher and Kirkpatrick
chopped down hits and felded their
positions so cleverly that the big
leaguers gasped with amazement.
Kirkpatrick started one double play IN
the second inning after James had led
with a single, and It cut on an auspi-
cious start for the Superbas. In the
fifth James started with another hit.
Tooley hit in Kinks direction and Enos
scooped up the ball, touched second
and whizzed the ball toward first. 1t
was high in the air, but Swacina,
stretched and poised on one toe, made
a remarkable catch.
Aside from Swacina's swatting 10

DOMINICANS SNOW
UNDER THE TURNER'S

One of the biggest surprises of the
season in basketball circles was the
easy victory of the Dominicans over
the National Turner's at Electric Park
last night. The final figures were 3S to
is. The winners played rings around
their victims from the starts At half
time the Domins led, is to s. During
the first ten minutes of the f1nal period
the losers failed to locate the basket.
The Domlns made several shifts in
their lineup and sort of eased up on
their opponents.
Stumpf. Boyle, Knochel and Curley
played we'll for the winners. Artie Con-
Ian was also on the job. but missed a
number OF shots by a fraction. Weber
and Koermaier, the Turner's strong
men, were held IN check.

PHILADELPHIA, April Is. The
fears that the injuries sustained by

were realized yesterday, when Dr.. John

He found that Walsh's right leg was
broken at the ankle joint and that, be-
sides. ligaments were torn. He will be
out many weeks.
Killifer"s right hand was fractured
