RECORD FOR JOHN
TO BOAST ABOUT
His HustIers Broke Even With
Tigers in Seasons
Series.
BENGALs DROP FINAL GAME

BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. 2S.-The
Newark squad has an open date to-
day and the Bengals may Just as well
have remained over at Rooohester,
but arrangements had been made for
hotel accommodations here before the
switching of dates by which double
header will be played here Saturday,
instead OF one game today.
The defeat at Rochester yesterday
by score Of 4-S spoiled Newark s
chances of perfect record for the
season by beating every team in the
league. The Bengals had to be con-
tent with an even break with the
Hustlers on the twenty-three games
played between these two teams TINS
season. Each team won eleven games
and another battle went ten innings
to q draw.
The element of luck entered largely
in Yesterdays defeat, though Bob
Higginss costly heave was primarily
responsible for the winning run. Dick
Breen, former Jersey City second
baseman, performed at the keystone
sack for the Hustlers and his execu-
ton with the willow was deadly and
we'll timed. He was responsible for
no less than three of the Rochester
runs, which he drove in with two OF
his three bings. His third safety in
the eighth round did no damage, but
it was not Breen's fault, for there was
runner on the base at the time and
Holmes had to pass Williams, filling
the bases. before he got out of the
hole without run being scored.
Eddie Gagnier drove in the first IT,
ger run in the third inning. Higgins
made the trip around the cushions on
a pass, Holiness sacrifice, an infield
out and Gagnier's drive to left. The
Tigers added two more in the fourth
inning and had the Hustlers 80 be-
fore the Ganzellites got busy.
The pair of tallies the Tigers manu-
featured in the fourth inning came
when w. Zimmerman singled and
took second on a wild pitch. Swacina
smashed a double to right field, scor-
ing the p. o. N. Eddie Zimmerman,
who had three hits, came through
with a neat single that sent Swacina
over the dish. 1t looked like curtains
for Tom Hughes, but he held on and
the Tigers never got apother run over
the pan. Gets ended a promising
rally by hitting into a double play.
Then the Hustlers came right BACK
and in a jiffy they had sent two run
ners scurrying over the pan. McMR-
Ian walked. Instead of sacrinclng,
Martin flied to deep centre. smith
then flied to Myers. Simmons
doubled to left field, in spite of the
fact that the outfielders were playing
n mile out because the home team
was hitting Holmes. Breen then shot
bounder over Gagnier's head, the
bali taking a crazy bound. Both run
ners counted.
b Another pass in the sixth inning
started more trouble for Holmes.
Martin walked. Smith laid down a
bunt which Higgins heaved to the
bleachers. Martin scored and Smith
reached third. Breens single then
produced the winning run.
The Tigers had a big argument in
the eighth inning and 1t ended only
when Manager Harry Smith protested
the game. With Dalton on first base
and two out, Swacina famed. Will
Jams dropped the third strike and
Swacina headed for first base. I'M
pire Nallin called Swacina out, deny
ing him the privilege of running on the
miscue. Dalton and Swacina came all
the way home, but Nallin rigidly ad-
hered to his erroneous decision, in
spite of the rules.
These two runs would have given
the Tigers a victory and Smith an
nounced that he would fight to the
last ditch for the game. President
Edward G. Barrow can hardly order a
replay, unless the Hustlers should get
on even terms with the Tigers and
the Bengals would have to jump back
to Rochester to replay the contest.
In the event that President Barrow
allows the Tigers protest, the game
will simply be thrown out of the rec
ords. A defeat will be taken from
Newark and victory subtracted
from Rochester's record. The score
of yesterdays game:
