Gossip Of the Big League Players

The Giants won their twelfth
straight and have four and q half
game lead.
There was a threat from Brooklyn
In the seventh, Cutshaw singled,
Merkle, to show he really has gray
matter, purposely dropped Hummel's
pop fly to force Cutshaw.
Joe Wood accomplished the SEEM
ingly impossible. He managed to get
two victories over the Athletics in
one series. Even Walter Johnson
has not done that this year.
Chief Bender again performed the
rescue stunt. He went to the mound
three on base and only one out. The
Sox stopped the rally right there and
the Mackmen won the game.
After four innings at National
League Park yesterday, six of the
nine Boston players had batted 1000.
Another, Myers, was not charged
with a time at bat and the other pair
had only been at bat officially once.
Is it any wonder the Braves won?
Just as grandstand managers were
arraigning Dahlen for not putting in
pinch hitter for Stack, Stack
slashed out a single that scored the
only run Brooklyn made yesterday.
President Charles w. Murphy, of
the Chicago Nationals, wired to
President Lynch protesting the sec
ond game of Sundays double-header
with st. Louis, which was declared
forfeited to the latter. Not only does
Mr.. Murphy claim that the game
should have been awarded to the
Cubs, but he also wants Empires
Eason and Brennan reprimanded for
giving the game to ST. Louis. He
does not deny that his players adop-
ted dilatory tactics in an effort to
prevent five innings from being played
before o'clock, when the game was
to have been called by agreement;
but he contends that the visiting
team offended first in violating the
rule by trying to get themselves put
out quickly after they had obtained
q three-run lead.

Although the 1918 season was not as
prosperous for the members of the
st. Benedict's Prep baseball team as
previous years, the High street boys,
nevertheless, made a very creditable
showing on the diamond. Ten VIC
tories out of fifteen games was the
record made for the season, and this
included games with some of the
fastest schoolboy teams In the State.
The team struck slump In mid
season and lost four games running
Newark Academy, BattiH High, of
Elizabeth; Railway High and Stew
ems Prep, of Hoboken, were the teams
to triumph over the ST. Benedicts.
The East Side High School took a
game from st. Benedicts early in the
season, but Coach Carey's lads got
back at the "Down Neck" aggrega-
ton by walloping them in the last
game of the season, to 0.
The Saints won two games from the
Orange Central High School nine and
walloped Upsala College, of Kenil-
worth; Paterson High School, Kearny
High, Rutgers Prep and the Alumni
team. The team batted for an aver
age of .349, while mark of .g21 was
hung UP in fielding.
Through graduation the nine lost
three players, who have been much

EVERY BENGAL In The LINEUP
HELPS TO BEAT The SHELTERS
Each Little Tiger Does His Share to Punish Larry
SChlafly's Pests, 81; Dalton Stars with the
Stick in Exciting Battle
WYATT LEE KEEPS THE BINdLEs WELL SCATTERED

Every member of the Newark base
ball club who was in yesterdays line
up had something to do with the
timely FL victory the Tigers scored
over Jersey City at Wiedenmayer's
Park. Briefly summed up, here are
the stellar performances some of
them, and other little bits of inside
work marlborough about the victory:
Wyatt Lee-Caught Shaw off second
base in the ninth inning.
Jack Dalton-Had three hits and
sent In the tying run.
Lew Acknowledgement cleverly
and he'd a timely hit.
Harry Swacina-Doubled, breaking
up the game.
Bill Collins-Beat out a hit that
figured in the final run.
Gus ,tz-Had two hits--brought in
Swacina in the ninth inning.
Ed Gagnier-Played brilliantly at
shortstep.
Ed Zinlmerman-Worke Brandon
for a pass that unnerved the pitcher.
w. Zimmerman-Got another assist
on a perfect throw.
Wyatt Lees ability to keep the
Jersey City teams hits well scattered
yesterday put damper on the Skeet-
er's upward fight. Newark had to
travel at break-neck speed to capture
the contest, however. for arrayed
against the Bengal stockholders was
Chick Brandon, the Tigers nemesis
Newark finally took Brandom's meas
ure after three attempts, the first two
being failures. but Brandon stwirled
air-tight ball for seven innings and
the Tigers did not succeed in reaching
the plate until the last two rounds.
There was some contention as to
whether Swacina was entitled to a
double or not on his drive to Shaw in
the final inning. Harry met the ball
squarely on the nose and lined it to
right centre. The ball was travelling
fast and kept curving away from
Shaw, who touched the ball and then
muifed 1T. Swacina easily reached
second base on 1t and Shaw was given
the benefit of the doubt, escaping an
error because of the strength of the
.wallop and the manner in which 1t
curved. There was one out at the
time and right here was where speed
counted. Bill Collins, who played
centre field, chopped a high one to
Furtell and raced to first base an inch
ahead of the throw. Swacina was
then on third base, in position to

If Eddie Gagnier, the. clever Tiger
shortstop. has the right dope, the
much-mooted question OF superiority
between the American Association
and the International League belongs
with the International League. Ed
strongly indorses a series this fall
between the Tigers and the American
Association champions, If the Ben
gals win the flag.
Gagnier has played in the Interna-
tional League long enough now to
know it's strength, and he was with
Indianapolis the greater part of last
season. so he knows the speed of the
A. A. teams. too.
Columbus is just now leading the
American Association with mark
slightly over 800. 1t would not be
such big jump If the Bengals could
arrange series with the Columbus
team. The chief objection against

Harry Swacina took chance yes
terday in scoring the winning run for
the Tigers, that might have ended
his baseball career. In the ninth in
ming Harry was perched on third
base with one but. 1t was Harry's
duty to try to score on any kind of
an infield wallop, as there were three
on base and Blair had only to touch
the plate to force Harry out. Like
wise one run was needed by Newark
to win the game.
Harry only recently returned from
a visit to Bonesetter Reese, where he
had his arm attended to and that

member is not yet quite right, but he
took a chance in sliding to the plate
headfirst and was lucky enough to
escape uninjured. Getz hit to
Vaughn, whose throw pulled Blair
across Swacina's path. Harry had no
other course than to dive for the rub
Der and he took the chance that might
have ruined his right arm for life and
ended his promising baseball career.
That was simple little instance of
the Tigers grit and why the Bengals
deserve their lofty position. Had
Harry stayed up Blair might have
reached the rubber with his foot for
a force out.

TIGERS WOULD PLAY SERIES WITH
COLUMBUS FOR CLASS A A TITLE

such series has been the long
jumps. For instance, were Montreal
and st. Paul to be the respective win
ners, or Milwaukee and Providence
just for instance, underestimate
would require so much time travelling
back and forth that the teams would
have to play two or maybe three
games In each town, on one leg. and
by the time the teams arrived In the
other city interest would be prac-
tically dead If one team had the lead.
At least the edge of the novelty would
have worn off,. Newark and Columbus
are close enough for a series this fall
and some of the Tigers have been
talking of class IA championship
set with the A. A. champs
Gagnier declared last fall that the
Tiger team, which finished third,
could have beaten the American AS

GRAYS STOP THE ORIOLES

Luck broke right for the Tigers
yesterday and they regained in one
day all the ground they lost to Roch-
ester by dropping two games to Jer-
sey City Sunday. The Tigers defeated
the Shelters yesterday while Roch-
ester lost to Montreal. The combi-
nation of events brought about the
old eight game lead again for New
ark. Other things happened in the
league, too. Providence helped by
stopping Baltimore and Montreal is
only one point away from a first
division berth, having beaten out
Jersey City for fifth place. Toronto
gave Buffalo another dig by defeating
the Bisons at Buffalo.
