fattened their batting averages yes
terday. To fatten a batting average,
q ball player has to feed 1t on base
hits. The former champions followed
this recipe to a T, collected twelve
hits of sundry sizes, and bagged the
game as well, which, you will admit,
is a pretty good days work.
The score at the finish of the first
half of the bill was Rochester s,
Newark 0. A double-header was not
advertised, but another combat oc-
Cured after the game, In which I'm
pire Gerald Hayes was cannonaded
with bricks, stones and other Ammn-
milton of callous nature. This af-
coming out unscatched.
The control Of the crowd was par
ticularly bad, many Of the throws
being decidedly erratic, and acted as
boomerangs, SO to speak, striking
members OF the mob. They did not
damage Groundkeeper Kennedy S
lawn very much, but the sorrel-
topped individual who takes care of
the turf and polishes off the edges of
the diamond was busy with the win
dcw glass and putty today, replacing
some of the damaged window panes
in the umpires' headquarters.
President George l.. Solomon or
dered a few square yards OF ar:ncr
plate from the Carnegie Steel Works
today and also dictated another
requisition for some Krupp guns.
In the future umpires will be
guarded in a turret-shapsd dressing
room after removing the armor used
on the ball field.
The crowd very wisely refrained
from trying out their brick-hurling
abilities until after the CANA waiting
until their intended Victim had re-
moved his chest-protector and his
mask. During the contest. following
Swacinas removal, the fans were
content to hurl some sharp and hard
names at the offending umpire.
How 1t All Happens.
1t all came about because Hayes.
who was behind the plate, said Guy
zinn's drive over the low partition in
right field in the third inning was
fair. The crowd thought otherwise.
Harry Swacina lost his temper and
argued with the arbiter. Manager
Smith tried to chase SwacinaA back
to his position. and the big Bohemian
started for his work bench" On
the way, he says, Hayes called him a
gutter and something else which he
didn't relish, and he rushed back at
the umpire. John Camel tried to re-
strain Swacina as he made an effort
to hit Hayes. The place was in an
uproar. Hayes called for policeman
to escort Swacina off the field. The
latter went, vowing vengeance and
warming the air with his ideas OF
Hayes.
Hayes stuck tcA. is decision, and the
smite went as a home run. 1t drove
in Fred Smith, who had been on
second baJe.
The game itself was 4 failure so
far as Newark was CONCERNED. The
Tigers were BANKED and Rochester
drove Shack off the mound in short
order Al was little bit overdrawn,
1t appeared. He is Of a nervous
disposition and is not rugged enough
to bear the brunt of battle oftener
than every fifth day, apparently. He
told Manager Smith, however, that
he can pitch every other day. What
ever he may think himself AIS first
effort as an Iron Man was a failure.
Smith had laid his plans carefully.
Shack and Enzmann were shipped
home from Rochester Friday night
and a had full days rest. Shaek's
nervousness was attributed in part
to a fair little damsel who sat in box
No. a. She came over from the
Bronx to see Al twirl and was keenly
disappointed when Shack was driven
Off the rubber. AL was a mournful
individual last night when the Tigers
took the express back to Rochester.

Introducing Some Baseball.
Getting down to the game itself
the Hustlers punched three bingles
In the second inning, linn, Simmons
and Schmidt clustering the trio of
clouts which were spun into two runs

efforts were decidedly negative with
Dave Martin on the other end of the
beaving argument. Martin is one of
the best young fingers in the league.
He proved that on the previous visit
of the Hustlers to Newark even
though he was beaten in that game.
The first two Rochester players had
been retired in the fatal third in
ming when Smith. beat out hit to
Eddie Zimmerman. linn then drove

fence. The ball had never been put
over the low partition on the fly since
Joe McGinnity built the new Wieden-
mayors Park. The umpire called It
fair and the crowd said 1t was foul.
So did Swacina. linn and Smith Just

the crowd howled in derision. Swacina
