Maple Leafs Hard to Beat
on Their Home
Grounds.
SPEED UPSETS THE GRAYS
Matty Mcintyre and Ollie
o'Mara Kept Locals from
Piling Up Bigger Score.

Speed was the winning factor in the
Tigers assault on the Providence
outfit yesterday, and the ultimate
victory over Doc Reisigl by the score
of 81. The Tigers made only one
more hit than their opponents, but
every one of those hits was stretched
to it's full value, and the Tigers ran
the bases like so many "Mercurys.'
-
1t was chiefly through the speed of
the Newark baserunners that Prov
idence was beaten. The Grays, I'M
doubtedly, have one of the best hit
ting teams in the league. 1t is true
: that they lack team work in the
fielding line, chiefly because Bill Dom
ovan has been compelled to do sc
much experimenting that his inf1eld-
ers hardly have time to shake hands
and become acquainted when they are
either Grated back to Detroit or sent
down to the bushes for more sea
, soning. Bills team, however, would
have won several more games in the
championship tussle this season II
it's personnel were the same. as al
present. His infield with O'Mara al
shortstop is improved 1000 per cent
O'Mara kept the Tigers score
down to three less runs than II
should have been by two scintillatine
stops of Founders over second base
that are ordinarily base hits.
"a
Old Matty Mcintyre has done his
best, too, to spoil the Tigers batting

field. Mcintyre has deprived Daltor
of at least two TeXac leaguers by
clever catches, and a couple of Other
Tigers have also been Handicapped
by his finesse as fielder. Matty
makes the plays look so easy thai
they are passed up as commonplace
For instance, very few of the fans
present realized that 1t was Matty's
great work which preventd Bill Col
Inns from getting into the home rur
column instead of being credited
with only a triple in the box score
summary. When Bill started the
Tigers on their winning way with
his thrash to left centre in the Sec
ond inning his triple rolled to the
fence.
Mcintyre was off with the crack
of the bat at full speed; he never
turned to get another glimpse of the
pill but ran directly to the spot where
he knew it would land. His speedy
work and good Judgment held Bill
on third base and Eddie Zimmerman
had to come through with another
hit to brfng the Cedar Rapids fiyel
home.
Then to show that his interest Is
IN the success of his team rather
than his own personal welfare as
player Mcintyre deliberately gave III
: his chance to bat against Aitchisor
in the eighth inning, when the Grayi
made a rally, so that Kocher, right
hander,~could hit against Aitchison's
southpaw slants. If any other bat
ter but Mcintyre did that the fans
might question his gameness. Nc
Intyre had made one hit off Aitchi'
son, but he knew it was a lucky one
that fell on the right field foul line
and sent home the tying run wher
the Grays got on even terms at
to 2, with the Tigers early in the
game. Bill Donovan and Mcintyre
i are close friends, and Matty sug'
gested the change himself. Kochel
did not come through with hit bu
he succeeded in getting around thu
bases after forcing the man ahead.
Aitchison had Plates number yes
