Dark Day and Hughes's
:. Shoots Smother BenguIS

Hitting the pill was one of the many
things the Hustlers did against the
Tigers yesterday, and most of the hits
were plucked from the offerings of Wyatt
Lee. You all know Watty. He south
paved better than all the other Eastern
(now International League) clubs pitch
ers some two years ago.
Long Tom Hughes was In grand form,
and the three-time champ players batted
timely. This and some nifty fielding
landed them a 5 to l victory. Manager
McGinnity sent ''Watty'' In because he
believed the Washington. D. c., man
was at his best on a cold. drizzly and
miserable day. But Lee tired. Yes, for
six innings, in which time John Cancels
men collected four runs and totaled
eleven hits. The Tigers were nothing ut
all up In the seventh, when Johnny n
mann, the Brooklyn boy, went in and
held the Hustlers to one run and two
hits the remainder of the game.
Meanwhile Hughes was doing grand
work for the Rochester side. The only
! tally of the Bengals was the result of
an error by Ward. who muffed Blair's
throw when the latter tried to get Col
Inns stealing third.
The first blow was staged In the third
| round, when two safe slams and a sac
rifce fly gave the visitors a point. After
Blair had been disposed of Hughes sin

hand, but little Mac beat his peg. Two

Tricky" Comes, the fast cyclist from
France, may be Il contender for the bi-
cycle championship of the world, but men
faster than he will have to come along
before that honor cnn be kept from Cham
pion Frank l.. Kramer, of the United
States. This fact was positively proven
at the Velodrome track yesterday. when
the champ easily defeated Comes in a
special match race at two-thirds of u mile.
At no stage of the game, either at slow
work or at sprinting, was the little French
man the equal of the East Orange boy.

Ernie A. Pye defeated George Wiley in
a en-mile motor-paeed race, while Gus

The match race between the two fastest

hun in trick riding. The race was started
again, and Comes went TO the front. He
did not retain this position long, for on
the tnrn near the stretch he shot up the
bank at an angle and Kramer was forced
to the lead. Around the track the men
went at a slow pace till the last lap,
when the champion hit it up. When ting
bell sounded Kramer shot ahead. Comes
was after him. He tried to come past
the champ on the outside but he never
had n look-in. He was easily defeated

Vaughn sacrificed on n grounder to Spen-

the latter made an effort to get Collins

the Bengals prevented them from scor-

Mcmillan for a double play. Again in
the eighth the Tigers had two on, but
failed to score. Billy Zimmerman walked.
Eddie Zimmerman's grounder rolled be-

1t up a bit more, so Eddie got a life.
Here's where Mcmillan. the pigmy won

man allowed the two competitors In the
race to get going nicely, and then, near
the tape, unwound Il sprint which Just
nosed out Anderson. There. were many
who thought Comes was defeated, but
those Nht the tape could easily see the
foreigners wheel over first. Frank Cava-
nagh was disqualified In his heat for
crowding Fogler. There was no need
of Frank doing this, for he would surely
have defeated Joe. who seemed to have
an off day. Kramer had little trouble In
defeating Floyd Krebs. who had qualified
in the %repechage heat.
Invitation Good.
The one-mile invitation for the profess

TIGERS N-GEETT!NG BETTER
THAN SHELTERS BUTLUCKISNT

After winning only Ave out of thirteen
worried about where the Tigers will stand
In the league after playing sixteen games
abroad, beginning with the grand lid-lift-
ing in Buffalo today.
Figures are interesting little things and
they are mute testimony in one instance
that the Tigers never should be tied for
sixth place today, and sharing the perch
at that with Toronto, charged with 8 de-
feats and only 8 victories. Figures show
that the Tigers In sixth place have scored
only three less runs than the Jersey City
team in first place. The Bengals including
yesterdays game scored So runs In 10
games. while the Pests TO date have
scored SO in Il. The Pests, however, have
won ten games and the Tigers but half
that number. and on three less runs.
What's the answer-poor pitching and
cratic fielding. The Inter malady may
be excused In n measure. owing to acct
dents, but the combination of unsteady
pitching and wobbly fielding has mad the
pitching worse than II otherwise would
have been, and the fielding, too. Any
fan knows that when an opposing team
starts humping the pitcher In one round
errors usually crop up and sometimes tho
whole team goes mp In the air. Thu cause
for their %spasmodic attacks Of the wob'
bles has never been explained. The thing
works the same the other way for an
error or two will throw n pitcher up into
the clouds,
Newark's Trouble.
That was lust the combination in New
ark's case.
When the pitchers were going we'll the
fielders were doing juggling stunts with
the ball, giving approximations of a
sieve aud doing other tumbling and vau-
deville acts. Al other times the pitch
ers we're soaring, but at all times the
batting has been commendable and never
until yesterday did the Tigers look weak
with the stick. The dark day and
Hughes's speed had a big effect on theii

In thirteen games the Tigers have
