within earshot Of Gettysburg, the
famous battlefield on which the
eyes of the country are just now
riveted. the Newark Tigers began the
first of a three-day series with the
Baltimore Orioles yesterday, and
after gruelling game were returned
the victors by a sc1fe of 4 to 2. 1t
was the final proof of the Tigers
championship calibre--a clean-cut
ninth-inning rally. netting three runs
and victory where defeat and COM
plete rout seemed inevitable.
Up to the final assault the Tigers
had been repulsed, round after round,
by Artilleryman Roth. of the Dunn
forces. Three tiny ticks had been
cleaned off his cannon-ball delivery,
consisting of the saliva sling and
fast one that singed the air as it ap-
preached the platter. Newark had
put one man over the cushioned
course for a tally up to the ninth In
n'pg due to Eddie Zimmerman's
triple. but Baltimore had gained two
snsnts by concentrating on Wyatt
geo in the seventh inning and tenn
porary waver by Higgins, who
muffed throw to the plate, allowing
Twombley TO score a. run which
promised to bring victory to the
Birds. esa -. .a=.
The nature of the defeat, coming
as it did in the ninth, and being
clearly earned, proved crushing
blow to the Dunnites. oriole fam
folk had gathered a bunch from
some place or other that the Tigers
were travelling beyond their speed,
and that they were due for slump.
Furthermore Roth had been the only
pitcher to beat Newark for Balti-
nnore this season. and hopes ran
6igh when the clever curvologist kept
the Tigers from making a hit foF the
J drst four innings. Then. with one
down in the fifth frame, e. thinner
man waited, as usual, for two strikes
before he swung, and swung hard.
Ed, who is getting to be demon on
long drives, bumped the bulb to the
.lid-field bulwark for three perches.
T. was a simple matter for an adept
t@unt-artist like Gus Getz to splash
an easy one to Roth on squeeze
play, which paved the way to the
plate for E. Zimmerman.
This run melted away in the sew
