The Tigers departed at $40 O'Clock
last night from the Park View station
of the Lehigh Valley railroad in the
best of spirits There is not man or
the club roster now who does not fee
certain that the Tigers have the pen
nant within their grasp. Newark
gameness and ability to stand up to
the enemies fire has been demonstrate
ed time and again in those extra Inning
battles, such as have been waged a.
the local grounds for the past two
days.
The Bengal pitchers, Bell and Lee
gave wonderful exhibitions of control
in those two games, as only one pass
was chalked up against them in the
two games.
When a pitcher has control his sup
port is Invariably enhanced 100 per
cent, because his mates have conf
dence in him. Just a little instance
In the case of a hit and run play.
The shortstop signals he will cover
second base. 1t is the pitchers duty
to keep the batter from hitting
toward left field, through the opening
the short-fielder will leave in case a
runner on first base starts for the
keystone sack. Tho pitcher having
poor control gets one In the groove
or on the inside and the batsman
can place it deftly through the hole.
The next time such play occurs
the infielders are up in the air on
what to do, and naturally on edge,
even If the play goes through per-
fectly there Is apt to be muir or
an overthrow because of the tension.
Fans often remark that when a
pitcher is going good he gets better
support than wobbly finger. 1t
was a well-known fact that Joe Nc
Ginnity and Wyatt Lee always re-
ceived the best support last season
and in other seasons, because the men
behind him knew what he was trying
to do, and that he had the skill and
control to accomplish his task.
Bill Donovan made 1t a pitchers
battle yesterday by his heady Twill
ing. Bill had good control and he
was putting them over the plate, but
he seldom gave any sticker a good
ball to hit at. He pitched very much
along Lees order of working.

Donovan, by the way, clearly
demonstrated, while the Grays were
here, one reason why his team is
such a good hitting combination. Bill
is out on the line outguessing the
pitcher and tipping off his batters.
Bill has noodle and he uses his ex-
perienoe to aid his youngsters. The
Grays hit hard here, but showed the
poorest run getting combination seen
in Newark this season. They punched
twelve hits In four consecutive inn
ings on Saturday off Bell and failed
to get more than two runs. In the
fourth and fifth rounds seven of the
nine men in succession to bat against
Bell had hits and only one run was
recorded. That shows that Provi-
dence needs little more team wo-ls
on the paths. The fielding, where the
Grays were weak before, is now up
to the standard, or nearly up to the
standard. When Bill makes a ma
chine out of his combination it will
be hard to stop.
"a
Jack Dalton, who had two hits
and pass, drove in Newark S
first run yesterday with his double
following passes to e. Zimmerman
and Lee, in the second inning. II
the fourth round the Grays grabbed
it back when Powell tripled and
scored on Pipps sacrifice fly. 1t was
then a nip and tuck tussle until The
tenth round.
Then the same combination that
broke up Saturdays game in the
twelfth round, with nobody out, re-
peated. Swacina, who doubled Sat
urday, was hit by pitched ball yes
terday. Collins, who beat a hunt
Saturday, putting Swacina on third
base, doubled yesterday. putting
Swats on third again. Then Eddie
Zimmerman singled, scoring Swa-
Gina, Just as he did on Saturday.
