during the day, both coming with two
men on the bases.

Football Prospects Bright
at East Side High School

With the addition of several husky
youths who were graduated from the
public schools last June the prospects
for a successful football eleven at
East Side High School appear rosy.
The initial practise was held yester-
day. and, although only a score OF
students reported, an eleven worthy
of holding its own could be picked, il
seemed. The majority of the team
which represented the downtown in
stitution on the gridiron last year
have returned, and, with the addition
of this new material, football at East
Side should be a grand success.
Wade, end of last years Vest
field High Schools football team, APP
pears ready to fall into place on
the regular team. He is six feet one
inch tall and weighs 100 pounds;
Neuschaefer, 15S pounds; Baccaro.
$50 pounds; Bean, 100 pounds; joe
Berry, quarter on last years second
team, and half a dozen freshmen
from the grammar schools, each
weighing $50 pounds or over, have
made the students at East Side OPP
timistic as to the coming season.

DOINGS IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE

The Tigers are running the bases
with their old skill and taking
chances.
Jack Frill could not help the
falo gave him a good lead. Jack was
wild and the Hustlers hammered him
off the mound.
The Baltimore team will play an
exhibition game with Detroit next
week. Hughey Jennings Is an idol
in the Monumental City and plays an
exhibition game there every year.
Eschen slammed out two home
runs against Providence yesterday.
Nobody was on base when they
came. This kid looks like a good
hitter.
Jack Dalton and Harry Swacina
were fined $50 apiece and suspended
for three days for their trouble with
Umpire Mullen on Monday. Smith
was excused. as he proved he COM
mitted no offence beyond trying to
talk things over with the umpire.
The Toronto team proved a poor
match for the New York Giants in
an exhibition game yesterday. The
score of the Maple Leafs defeat was
10 to 3. Thorpe had home run.
Holmes pitched great ball yester-
day and in addition showed keen
Judgment at bat. He fooled Mid
kiff on one particular play by bunt-
ing the ball over his head when the
youngster crept in to get sacrifice
tap.
Northen's home run was the first
drive a Newark batter ever put over
the low right-field fence.

youngster was, he so resembles

who was injured on the last trip, has
been unable to get in the lineup
since that time.
McInnis and Collins were trapped
off first and third. respectively, in
the second inning, but, after much
tossing and scrambling. both got
back safely That is base running.
Yesterday was a day of profit de-
spite the defeat sustained by the
Athletics. Cleveland slSidded twice
and the Mackmen gained a half
box score.
Jimmie Callahan's White Sox now
lead the Mackmen in the series of
games played. BY triumphing yes
terday Chicago made 1t ten victories
against nine for the Mackmen.

The trial runs when the Maple Leaf

FANS BELIEVE JOHN MGRAWS MEN HAVE
GOOD CHANCE FOR WORLDS CHAMPIONS

championship of the National League
to the Giants.
There is also a strong undercur-
rent of feeling among the fans that
the Giants have the best chance they
have had to win the worlds blue
ribbon since they beat the Athletics
in 1905. There is no question about
the superiority of Johnny McGraw's
pitchers. AS team the Giants have
slightly the worst of 1t in figures, but
figures do not mean anything in a
worlds series and all of the pre-
series dope can be thrown into dis
card this season. The Red Sox had
the better of the Giants on the av-
erages last year, but 1t did not show
in the eight games the two teams
played.
Johnny McGraw's reputation is at
stake and If be can't win the Sc
ries this season he never will, in the

three were retired. Billy Zimmerman
did not get credit for a hit but he
made an attempt to place the ball
in right field and got 1t just far
enough away from Corcoran to
bother Micky. That was the only
run the Tigers scored in the first
round as Dunn yanked Cottrell and
put Danforth in to pitch.
The three runs which enabled Bal
timore to take the lead were not
earned. Schacht started off badly by
passing Daniels in the very first inn
ing. Then he made a wild throw OF
Midkiff's tap and a moment later
Corcoran walked filing the bases.
Lee went into pitch Coles tapped to
Northen, who threw badly to Hig
gins and Daniels scored. Lee was
not warmed up and single by Der
rick sent in two more runs. Holmes
came in and never showed better
form since he has been in this league.
He did not allow the Orioles hit
until the seventh inning when a
pass and Midkiff's home run tied the
score at 5-5. He showed his old time
qualities as emergency pitcher and
clearly deserved the victory credited
to him in the pitching records.
Newark's second run was tailed by
Getz In the second round. Gus also
took long chance in scoring on a
short fly from Tooley's bat. Getz
opened this round with a clean single
to right field. Higgins hunted and
beat 1t out-a very good way of sac
rificing. Holmes then did sacrifice
showing both runners along. Tooley
put up q short fly to Daniels
and Getz by taking a chance scored,
giving Newark another run the
Tigers would not have had but for
speed on the paths.
In the fourth inning with the score
30 against Newark, Higgins, crippled
though he is, started another rally.
Bob singled and Holmes was safe ON
a bad throw by Danforth. Tooley by
his speed beat out an infleld hit to
the pitchers box. Then came Gag
nier's long line single to right centre
that cleaned the bases. Tooley raced
all the way home from first base. 1t
was an excellent hit and run play.
Holmes was in holes at times
through poor support and an occa-
sional pass, but not hit was made
until the seventh round. Here he
walked Daniels and Midkiff came
through with home run to left field,
making the score 5-5.
Newark still bad the wallop, for
Gagnier walked in the last half of
the inning and Northen duplicated
Midkiff's stunt with homer to right
field. In the eighth Getz tripled and
Gus again took a long chance as the
ball rolled scarcely ten feet behind
Egan. The score:

opinion of many fans. The Giants
have improved a great deal as a
team since they last clashed with
the Athletics in the post-season Sc
ries of 1911. The Mack machine it
self is no better or no worse aside
from the pitching staff, which has
assuredly deteriorated. 1t is too
early to make definite predictions, but
there is strong tendency to favor
the Giants all along the line.
