LOCAL FANS TREATED TO A SLUG FEST

TORONTO. Ont. Aug. 1S.-It was
q weary squad of athletes compris-
ing the Newark and Toronto clubs,
which arrived here today after a
fourteen hour ride following yester-
days double-header at Newark. The
two teams had special cars which
were run down TO the Hamburg
place freight station of the Lehigh
VALLEY railroad in Newark and later
attached to an express train at the
Parkview station.
Johnny Enzmann did not accom-
pany the squad of athletes represent
ing Newark in the pennant race.
Enzmann was left at home and will
work out with the Brooklyn team,
while the Dodgers are performing at
Ebbets's field. Enzmann's home Is
in Williamsburg, and 1t will be easier
for him to practice with the Dodgers
than to come to Newark for a work.
out. Johnnys arm seems to be COM
ing around nicely and he had hoped
to pitch a game when the Tigers got
to Montreal but his name was
stricken from the list and he was
disappointed.
Leafs Predict Victories.
After breaking even with the
Tigers yesterday, the Leafs were pre-
dieting that they would win this
series, which begins at Hanlon's Point
today. Manager Harry Smith is
handicapped for pitchers. Aitchison
complained yesterday of a sore arm
and hundreds Of fans were disap-
pointed when he failed to start the
second game at Newark. Ducky
Holmes, however. again came through
in fine shape. George Bell Is i'll and
Billy Zimmerman may he unable to
play today because of sick stomach
which caused his retirement yester-
dav.
Tn spite of these misfortunes, the
Tiger leader is confident that the Ben
gals will win majority of their
games on the road. Joe Kelley's team
will have to be thoroughly rejuvenated
to be winner next season. 1t Is SAID
that Joe contemplates wholesale
housekeeping and that waivers viii
be asked on all of the old-timers who
helped last season to win pennant
for Toronto The youngsters he has
picked up this season have failed to
show much speed. Pick at shortstop
was an easy mark for the Tigers
when they got his number. He is far
too slow in fielding the ball for fast
runners like Tooley, Collins and the
other Bengal speed boys, and he does
not cover enough ground. He waits
for the ball to come to him. instead OF
swooping in and gobbling them up, as
a shortstop must do on balls or the
bounding variety. The Tigers hitting
in the second game was not due to

swatted the ball for home runs,
two triples, three doubles and twelve
singles.
Lee Not In Shape.
WYATT Lee lost the opening game
by a. score of I'll Six of the tallies
were made off Lee in five innings, the
seventh run was garnered off Shacht.
The Tigers were unable to do any
thing with Bert Maxwell, who was
more effective against Newark tnan
he has been in any other game this
season. The fielding feature of the
opening tusSle was sensational one
hand catch by Billy zimmerman IN
the second inning. 1t saved Lee from
an impending beating right there.
Zimmerman had TO retire in the same
inning, because of illness, but had 1t
not been for his CATCH Graham would
have had a double and the Leafs an
other run. Bob Higgins also displayed
headwork and fine execution when he
picked Kroy off second base in this
inning. Bob, whose throws are accu-
rate and as sharp as shot from
gun, threw to Gagnier, nipping kroy.
Hughie Bradley Immediately followed
with a triple over Myers head that
sent irf Pick, who had walked. Kroy,
too, would have scored on this bingle,
had he not been caught by Higgins.
Bill Bradley followed with a neat sin
gle between Swacina and Getz, who
were playing in on the grass. Hugh
Bradley scored on this hit. The other
four runs the enemy made off Lee
came in the fifth inning. Five hits,
including a double by Kroy, resulted
in four runs, and Lee was excused in
the next round, after he had walked.
Smith ran for him and Shacht came
in. to pitch.
Newark's only run in the first game
was the result of Getz's single and
steal and Collins's single to left in the
third inning.
Holmes Pitches CIeverly.
From a Newark standpoint the Sec
ond game was everything that the
first contest lacked. Ducky Holmes,
pitching in his best form, allowed
only four hits and was scored on
only once, while the Tigers made, flf-
teen runs on eighteen hits off Kent,
the Toronto finger. In two different
rounds the Tigers rung up five runs
and they stopped at three tallies In
another session. HI Myers was the
chief clouter in the number of hits.
Hi had four bingles, one of them
double and another triple. Eddie
Zimmerman got in a long drive to
centrefeld for a home run. Gagnier
slammed out two doubles and a
single. every one of his hits bringing
in runs. Dalton scored three times.
The only Tigers Tho failed to get a
hit were McCarty, who was up four
times, and Bill Collins, who made a
hit and was called out at first base
by Umpire Mullen, was given the
gate for kicking and Umpire Mullen
threatened to forfeit the game. Bill
really had a hit but got no credit
for it because of the umpire's deci-
