TIGERS TOP NOTCH PITCHING
STAFF IS BADLY BROKEN UP
Bell and Shacht Are Both
Hit Hard in Game at
Rochester.
TEAMS FINAL CLASH TODAY
Myers Delivers Pinch Hit for
BengaIs in Ninth
Round.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. H.
Manager Harry Smith, of the Tigers,
was a disappointed individual yester-
day afternoon when George Bell and
Al Shacht were hammered hard
enough by the Hustlers to,win two
ordinary games for Rochester. That
the Tigers twirling staff is none too
strong is evident and unless the pitch
ers show an Improvement the Bengals
will do little better than win half OF
their remaining games. Cy Bargei
is about the only really dependable
pitcher Smith has left since Aitchl-
son was recalled. Holmes may pull
the Tigers through to a victory to-
day, but it is doubtful If he can keep
up the pace he set when ne first
Joined the Bengals. Wyatt Lee was
never very effective against Roches-
ter or BRfielo within the past two
seasons. - If Cliff Curtis can come
through and show something the cut
look for successful windup will be
a little bit more brilliant. Just now
1t looks as thought the Tigers will
have to win their games by smuggling.
They raped the offerings of Wilhelm
hard enough yesterday, but the show
ing made by Bell and Shacht was
miserable.
Smith had hopes that Shacht would
show form, but the youngster who
fooled the Hustlers earlier in the sea-
son was no puzzle at all, yesterday
after relieving Bell. The score at
the finish was 10 to s, and 1t was the
worst beating Newark has received
this season.
George Bell always found The 9ust-
lers hard team to beat, and though
he has taken their measure this
season the Ganzellites were the only
combination he could not down last
year. 1t is reported here that this is
Bells last year in baseball, and IL
this be true the Tiger management
will have to start right in now to
build up an entirely new twirlinS
staff.
If Enzmann and Barger are with
the Tigers next season they should be
the nucleus of the new twirling corps
Wyatt Lee will also be retained.
Curtis, Hall, Shacht and Holmes are
doubtful qualities for next year II
the club changes hands, and there is
every indication that there will be a
change in ownership, all of these
things will be looked after, so Newark
fans need not worry about the future
and should only spend their time cele-
brating this years pennant-winner.
The Hustlers scored runs yesterday
by the wholesale. Five tallies were
recorded in the very first round, and
the game was over before 1t really
began. The Rochester fans enjoyed
the humiliation of the Tigers i'm
mensely, even though the regulars
strove valiantly to produce enough
runs to get in the running.
The pinch-hit hero of the contest
xyhn aaV in cold in
the ninth inning yesterday and de-
lvered sharp single that sent two
runners scurrying over the plate. Hi
has gone lame, and could not play
his regular stand yesterday. Tooley
ran for him. 1t is not the first time
of late that Myers has shown marked
ability as a pinch hitter. Northen,
who is taking his place, is still in
slump, and Hi is missed. Hub again
failed to make a hit in four times at
bat. AS his long suit is hitting, he
fails to reach first base, and the Tiger
attack is visibly weakened
Jack Priest was the star slugger
of the day in the Rochester lineup.
Priest punished the ball for four hits,
including a triple and a home run.
His hitting seems to improve daily,
and he is now one of the most danger
Gus sluggers in the league. Dalton
and w. Zimmerman were the heaviest
stickers in the Newark camp Be-
tween them this pair amassed six of
Newark's twelve hits.
After today's game the Tigers will
move on to Buffalo for three contests.
Tomorrow will be an open date, the
game having been transferred to Sat-
urday, in order to allow the Bisons to
play an exhibition game with the
Pittsburgh Nationals. The BengalS
and Hustlers meet for the last time
this season today. The score of yes
terday's game:
