With "Ducky" Holmes steaming 'em
over and the men behind him coming
through with brilliant support at Wieden-
mayors Park yesterday 1t was too diff
cult for the Benguls to escape another de-
feat. "Ducky'' was just right and had
the Tigers standing on their heads. The
result of the Days work was an s to 3
victory for the three,time champs.
Outside of Holmes there was no real
figured In the Victory. Prince Gaskell
started for Newark, but as the drizzle be-
gan "Gnsky" wasNlike a wet rug, and the
result was that he was beckoned by Cap
tain Harry Smith to tenderly take to

to the mound. Joseph gave n clever imi-

which gave the John Camel bunch five

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, May 1S.-Bob
Holmes was not with the Tigers when
they returned from Newark today. The
big %southpaw has been left at home to
get into condition. Holiness arm has
been I'm bad shape for some time and
has s~tubbornly failed to respond to
treatment. Joe McGinnity decided that
a rest was the best thing that could be
prescribed for Holmes. Ducky's case
has ba filed the science of Doc Ber-
nard, the Tiger osteopathist. Holmes
says that it feels as though a lisament
is torn.
Prince Gaskil is the latest Tiger to
be afflicted. He has rheumatism of the
knee. Truly the Newark f1inging stan
has been 'jlnxed" by someone or some
thing.
1t is reported that Joe Agler may be
lost TO the Shelters because of a mis-
understanding of the terms between the
Jersey City Club and the Chicago Cubs.
An error in transmitting Larry
schlafiy's telegram regarding the terms
of the deal whereby Agler became a
member of the Pests caused the trouble.
