long jump around the entire circult
was reached in safely toiay and the
Tigers can see nothing but I'VE vicuo-
ries In a row at tie expense OF h
tail-enders.
Manager Joe MeGinnity has his
schedule for the pitchers all worked
out for this series. he attends 20 use
Gaskell and either SchaIdt or Dent
today. Tomorrow Enzmann, VINO
pitched his first full game on
Royals Sunday grounds and wo II,
will be called on to repeat his tri-
umph, with Gsskell TO be summoned
again on Monday. There is a posi-
bility that George Bell may try his
wing out in one OF these games, as II
has shown signs of / operating after
a weeks rest.
Joe MeGinnity and the Tigers are
enthusiastic about their nance to
win the p%ennant, and bouquets have
been strewn In the Tigers wake ali
along the line. The Baltimore play
kers, who arrived in Toronto yesterday,
mingled with the Bengals, n one OF
the veterans declared that Newark
should be leading the league by ten
games now. had the Tigers the break
in the luck. Joe McGinnity is trying
hard to land a utility intielder capable
of filling in and playing up TO the II
ger calibre. Bobby Vaughn is not
very strong, and lie grows wobbly in
double headers, and sometimes when
the strain is hottest. after IA hard
days work. Bobby, usually a-reliab'e
fielder, looked a little bit stale on
Thursday and his two mistakes in the
tenth cost Lee the game. Vaughn
made the mistake of playing too deep
for Benny Meyer. miscalculating Ben
ny's. speed in going to first base, and
Benny beat the throw. A minute
later Bradley worried Vaughn on
Fftzpatrick's grounder and jockeyed
so much that Vaughn fumbled.
His mistakes also we're costly in
two games at Buffalo, but Bobby has
won many contests for Newarksby his
great stops in the pinches back OF
second base, and he cannot be cen
sured. If Joe had a good utility man
to relieve Vaughn occasionally and
give the phenomenal short fielder a
rest. Bobby's work would improve
greatly.
The newcomer must be an experts
enced man, bccauseBa green infielder
might crack when the pace is the hot
test n the rase is closest.
Dunn's Woes.
Jack Dunn had a woeful tale of tard
luck on his arrival in Toronto yester-
day. Bill Bergen is the only catcher
he has, because Freddy Payne broke
his thumb on Wednesday. Jake Gett.
man is home. with water on the knee,
and Fritz Maisel twisted an ankle
some time ago that is slow IN getting
better. Newark has three catcbers in
good shape, though Higgins is being
worked daily and Jack looked with
c~ovetous eyes on young McCarty and
Harry Smith, but Joe McGinnity
would be foolish to aid a rival team
with a chance for the pennant him
self.
All-star Team.
They are at it again picking all-star
teams which les nothing, but
show in many cases the woeful lack
of Judgment and knowledge of the
game exercised by some writer's in
making their selections. OF course,
prejudice and pride, too, enter into
the argument. One Rochester writer,
who picked the following team. needs
a pair of specs, a little sound advice
and then a thorough correspondence

team. Even then it is doubtful If he
could go through with the subject and
make a presentable showing. Listen
to 1t: Catchers-Graham, Toronto,
and Bergen, Baltimore. First base
Tim Jordan, Toronto. Second base
Cunningham, Montreal. Third base
Dolan, Rochester. Shortstop-McMil-
Ian, Rochester. Left feld-O'Hara.

Mattern, Providence; Beebe, Buffalo;
Drucke, Toronto; McTighe. Montreal;
McHale, Jersey City, and Vickers.
Baltimore. Manager-Ganzel, Roches-

His one best selection is Camel as
manager. With an inferior team
"Jawn'' has held the pace all season.
and copied three : remnants before
this season. Our idea of an all-star
team may not count for anything.
but it will include a few members of
the Tigers instead of snubbing New
ark, as did this expert" who failed
even to see George Bell as a pitcher
on a staff of seven members: First
base, Harry Swacina; second ba se,
Enos Kirkpatrick; shortstop, Tommy
Mcmillan; third base, Eddie Zimmef-
man. left field, Jimmy Walsh: centre
field. Gettman or Osborne; right field,
Murphy; catchers, Smith, Blair and
Bergen: pitchers, Bel, McGinnity.
Sbawkev, Hughes, Mains, Mattern
and Gaskell: utility infielder. Freddy
Parent, and utility ~outdelder, Billy
Zimmerman or Bill Collins. Perhaps
this is a biased selection. but notice
this fall how many of these men go
up and how many of the Rochester
stars are phlcked by the majors.
Murphy, of Baltimore. is. without
a doubt, the best lead-off man in
the league. though Bill Collins overs
more grounds and Is d better thrower,
Gettman cannot be denied; Walsh
has the edge ON a~1i-around ability |
as a left fielder. though Billy zim-
herman will give him a close race
any time. Smith without a doubt
is head and shoulders above every
