faster than his worlds record time. made
over the same track last Sunday. Kiviat's
performance was all the more remarkable,
as he had Just stepped off a train from
Canada this morning, after winning the

came back and tied the score without
the aid of a hit. Kirk, after waiting
for a pass, was forced by Bernard, who
stole second. Seymour hit to Corcoran,
who lost his wits and touched the bag,
thinking II a force. Bernard slid into
the base. and when Mickey, after realiz-

scored. y

Almost Everybody Sure Tigers
Sc Would Make Clean Sweep
of the Series.

It's the frequency with which the So
called unexpected" takes place in base
ball that has made the national game
so popular and has placed 1t on a peak
higher than any other athletic pastime
in the range of sports. At the pace the
Tigers were travelling last week, 1t
seemed that the Baltimore orioles would
be the easiest kind of picking; two out
of three was the very worst they eX-
pected-but the unexpected occurred
and the Orioles, who were somewhat
moderated, gave us the short end of
the series, taking the rubber game yes
terday. 3-2.
About $500 fans went down to see the
Tigers win yesterday. They expected
that Joe McGinnity's men would turn
the trick. As might have been suspect
ed. the unexpected occurred. Newark
lost.
Newark has had a hard time winning
Sunday games at home this season
They have won only one Sunday gam

is that some of the best batsmen, Sey,

The Athletics scored four runs In the
