Jersey City 6, Newark 1

The fielding in the second game
was even better than in the opening
tussle, but Andy Coakley, who haz
been easy for other teams, had 6
good day and the Tigers gathered
only four slim safeties of his shoot.
ing. Good throws by Gagnier and
Dalton cut down two runs at the
plate and prevented Jersey City from
winning the game in the first foul
rounds, during which Newark had
gained a one-run lead
The contest consisted of only two
rounds-the third, when Newark
scored, and the fifth, when five runs
were made off Holmes. Harry Smith
who caught both games, never
worked harder for victory, and it was
in this battle that he met his Water
loo Higgins needed a rest, and
though Smith was not in good shape
he decided to work in both battles
To add to his troubles he twisted
his ankle in fielding practise.
Jersey City hit harder than Newark
all the way, but though the Skeeters
had made four hits up to the fourth
inning, Newark had taken the lead
by punching two singles in the third
inning. Holmes got an infield hit and
made the trip home on an infield out
and Gagnier's single.
The Shelters TALES came in the
fifth inning on punched hits. Coax
ley, who had good day with th|
stick, singled, Holmes tossed badly t.
second when Eschen tried to sacrifice
Calhoun then hit for a home run. Be-
fore the rally ended Donlin and Wells
got in singles and Bues tripled.
Young Britton, the new Tigel
twirler, came into the game with the
score to 1 against Newark, one ou
and a man on third base. He prompt
ly famed Bradley and made Blail
pop UP fly to Myers.
Newark never was in the running
after the third round. In the last siS
innings the Tigers made only two
hits. Britton looked so good he was
yanked to be saved for today and
Schacht finished the game.
Eschen had only one hit in thi!
contest, but scored a run and would
have had another tally had he no
neglected to touch third base in thu
opening inning. He had singled wher
Donlin tore off a triple. Eschen came
all the way home and had time tx
spare but was declared out wheI
Eddie Zimmerman tagged third base
for Eschen had failed to touch tina
sack
Coakley scored the Shelters sixth
run in the eighth inning, when he
beat out a bunt, took second on al
error by Getz and then raced all the
way home when Donlin sent a lone
fly to Northen. Hub had just comt
into the game, relieving Dalton. who
hurt his ankle, and Northen ap'
parently forgot about Coakley beinf
on second base or else figured 9
pitcher would not attempt such
stunt. At any rate, Northen threw
the ball to Myers and Coalsley raced
all the way home. The score:

With Harry Smith out Of it for
the season as the esult of injuries

Before the game yesterday Man

ball and twisted his ankle. He donned
an ankle brace and went IN and

MAGNATES MEET
To PICK ADRAF Is"
Annual COnclave at Cincinnati
to Draw for Minor
Leaguers.
TO ACT ON PROTEST
TO ACT ON PROTEST

CINCINNATI, Sept. 15.-Basebau
magnates, managers and players be-
gan arriving in this city yesterday to
be in attendance at the annual meet
ing Of the National Baseball Commis-
sion. which will assemble today and
supervise the drafting of players from
the minor leagues.
August Hermann and Thomas
Lynch. president of the National
League, are here, and Ban Johnson
president of the American League is
expected early today. Besides these
three members of the commission
nearly all the presidents of the major
league clubs are expected to be on
hand when the drafts are made
known.
The meeting will begin at 10 a. m
Although the cream of the minor
leagues has been obtained by pur-
chase by the major league clubs,
there are many good players still
available by the drafting route, and
these are being drawn upon heavily.
1t is believed that more drafts have
been made by the major leagues this
year than at any time since the ma
tional agreement went into effect. As
the national agreement rules provide
that when two or more clubs draft 3
player he shall be disposed of by lot,
10 club owner or manager is certain
as to how many of the men he draft
ed he will eventually obtain.
National League directors will take
the case of the game between New
York and Philadelphia on August so,
which was forfeited 10 New York by
Umpire Brennan because of the ac-
tons of spectators. President Lynch
subsequently overruled the umpire
and awarded the game to Philadel-
phia, which was in the lead at the
time. The New York club protested
this ruling, and the decision will
finally be made by committee OF
National League directors.
President Lynch was a guest of Mr..
Hermann at the game between Gin
cinnati and Philadelphia. He said.
that Umpire Emslie had mailed his
report of the fight between Manager
Joe Tinker, of the Cincinnati Club,
and Maranville and Meyers, of the
Bostons, which took place on the field
yesterday, to the New York Office.
and that it had passed him on the
way.
Until he has read the report Mr..
Lynch i'll not announce his deer
sion, but it is probable that all the
players concerned will be suspended
Tinker played yesterday. but said he
expected that he would receive five
day suspension after MIR. Lynch had
investigated the incident.

Unusual Walking Records Are
Made by Aged Pedestrians

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Nothing has
ever been heard of the success of the
old mans pedestrian club, which
was formed in New York last spring
with the idea of reviving enthusiasm
for walking in this age of vehicles,
but Independently of club auspices it
is said that pedestrianism is regain
ing its place as sport in the envi-
rons of the metropolis. Two unusual
records are reported and must be be-
lieved since they are boasted Of by
two local judges.
Surrogate Herbert T. Ketcham, of
Brooklyn, who is So years old, has
just finished a walking trip of 125
miles in six days. He and his son

The Giants were BANKED for the
second game in succession, whereas
rivals in those. two games made f1f-
teen tallies yesterday.
Jim Vaughan says a pitcher who is
teaming up with Archer has to keep
his eyes open on peg to second.
IF not" said Jeems. he'll get you
square between the eyes"
Jim Vaughan is going great guns.
why didn't you pitch that way in
New York." he was asked.
Don't know. 1 tried hard enough.
Some people said l was lazy, but
that isn't so, and / never ought to

From their first five hits the Cubs
made three runs. The Giants for the
same period had eleven hits, but
couldn't show tally yesterday.

Giants at any rate. Phelan always

The Brooklyn Club has filed claims
to thirty-four minor league players
whose names will be put into the
draft bag at Cincinnati today. This
doesn't mean that the Dodgers will
obtain all of the men, as only one
player can be drafted from each of
the clubs in the international League,

Pacific Coast League, and fifteen
other major league clubs will also file

Havana Will Give Liberal
Financial Aid to Chess Tourney

NEW YORK, N. Y. Sept 15.-J. r.
Capablanca, the Cuban chess cham
pion, who is in Havana arranging for
an international tournament next
February, writes that the project Is
sure to receive substantial financial
support from that city.
There is a motion before the Board
of Aldermen calling for an appropria-
ton of $4,000, and it has been signed
by twenty-seven of the most infiuen-
tial members of the board. The
proposition is that the mayor be au-
thorized to spend $500 for prizes and
$4,000 for expenses, the prizes to be
divided as follows: First prize, $1,000;
second prize, 81, 900; third prize, $500;
fourth prize, $3.50 and fifth prize, $3.50,
the remaining $1,000 to be divided pro
rata among the prizewinners.
The ten contestants will be selected
from the following experts: Rubin

Newark 8, Jersey City q


In the opening encounter Wyatt Lee
again demonstrated his ability to
come out on top when the going Is
hardest. Perhaps 1t is partly due to
luck that Lee Is so successful against
the Skeeters, but the real truth of 1t
is that he never let's the enemy
imagine for a second, no matter how
badly they have him in a hole, that
ne is worried. Wyatt has that cool,
determined manner Of working that
gets on the other fellows nerves. The
Shelters hit him yesterday for twelve
safeties, and yet they did not Wallop
him hard. Newark should have won
the game sooner, but the Tigers did
not get credit for victory until the
ninth inning, when they broke up the
game In a fine batting rally that
melted four runs.
A feature of the first game was a
decision by Umpire Owens, who called
Getz out for interference and took
run away from the Tigers score by the
decision. Getz was on second base In
the seventh inning when Gagnier hit
to Bradley. Getz hesitated in front of
the Jersey city shortstop and then
went on toward third. Bradley fielded
the ball cleanly, but threw badly to
second base. Owens declared that
Getz, who had crossed the plate on the
bad heave, was out for Interference. !"
The contest was full of thrills, as
only Newark-Jersey City game can
be. To cap the climax In the ninth
inning Billy Zimmerman made sem
sational catch of a line drive, which
he turned into double play. Both
teams fought as though their lives
were at stake, for which they battled.
On the attack Lee starred by f1gur-
ing in three of Newark's runs. He
carried the first Tiger tally around in
the Third inning on his double and
Daltons single. Dalton deserves a
big credit mark for his share of this
victory. Jack was up three times in
the pinches and twice he delivered
singles, while on the other occasion
he walked. Jack drove in three of
Newark's eight tallies. Gus Getz was
also prominent, getting four bingles
in four times at bat. He had one
double and scored two runs.
Eschen was a trouble maker for the
Uerseyites. This young phenom
scored three runs, made three hits
and drew pass. His two-sacker and
two sacrifice hits gave Jersey City its
first run in the third inning, tieing
1he score. From that time to the
ninth it was a see-saw battle. New
ark hit Brandon hard and first one
team would go to the front and then
the other would tie it up. Eddie Zim-
nerman's triple and Getz's double,
with sacrifice hits by Smith and Lee,
gave Newark two tallies in the fifth
round. The real score-fest came in
the ninth and the Tiger rooters had a
fine chance to celebrate. Three sim
gles-by Getz, Dalton and Gagnier-
an error by Calhound. Myers's infield
out and sacrifice fly, netted New
ark four runs. Jersey City made a
dying kick, but Billy Zimmerman s
sensational catch upset their chances,
as Bill turned 1t into double play
by throwing to second base before
Purtell could get back to that bag.
The score:

GOSSIP OF THE Big LEAGUE PLAYERS

Connie Mack smiled when he saw
the box score of the Giant-Cub game
yesterday. Fourteen hits and not a
run makes it look as though the
Giants are slumping little, too.
Brooklyn had big lead at st.
Louis. AS usual the pitchers on the
mound for the Dodgers weakened,
and. presto. the game was gone.
The Yankees are three points from
daylight. A victory today and de-
feat for the Browns will lift the New
York team out of the cellar.
"Rube" Marquard got his bumps
again yesterday, when Johnny
Evers's Cubs drove him from the
slab. The defeat of the Giants en-
abled the Phillies to register a gain
of game for the week on New York,
whose lead is now six and one-half
box scores. f
Beals Becker did yeoman service
for the Phillies against his former
Cincinnati teammates when he drove
home the winning run in the ninth
inning. This was not the only tally
that Becker was instrumental in
sending across the plate. as he banked
a run himself and had three hits.
The old hitting power of the Ath-
Ietics was not much in evidence last
week. The Mack machine only totaled
ss safeties in Ave games, scoring 10
runs.
Charles Webb Murphy said that
the Cubs were going to win all the
remainder of their games. On the
strength of that prophecy the Giants
may win the next two.

American League teams had hol-
iday yesterday, as the Western clubs
are in the East and none of the East
ern towns permit the national game
on Sunday. Cleveland won the first
game of the series on Saturday at
Philadelphia and the Maps are max
ing their last stand for the pennant.
1t is generally believed that the Ath-
letics will put the Birmingham team
out of the race before the series ends.
The Yankees got started in the right
direction by defeating Detroit Satur-
day. The Chance crew showed a big
improvement last week and is now
only three points behind the St
Louis Browns, ready to climb out of
last place.

In the parlance of the fans,
BAILEY did not show a thing. He
did not need to. for Wholrab could
not force him to extend himself.
The only line the fans could get
on Bailey was that he has good
position on a wheel and can pick up
speed fairly fast.
Mike Journey. the veteran Nutley
amateur, pulled a raw deal in the
first heat of the amateur champion
stakes when he switched McDougall
three times in a row on the back
stretch. Referee Arthur Ross gave
him an indefinite suspension for his
work.
Mcnamara rode a heady race in
the ten-mile. His pacemaking was
no better than that accorded Clark
or Grenda, but he followed it in bet
ter shape and kept close to his tan
dem teams at all times.
Frank Kramer handled Grenda's
pacemakers in the ten-mile race and
had the big fellows tongue hanging
out at the end of the race by the
fast pace.
The crowd gave Bill Bailey big
reception when he appeared. Even
the band got in the game by playing
Wont You Come Home, Bill
Bailey?"
II knew they would play that"
sniilingly remarked Bailey. II get
that every place I 60"
There is the best feeling between
the two amateur champions, Donald
McDougall and Bill Bailey. Bailey
yesterday asked McDougall to go to
New York with him today and show
him the points of interest.
Are you going to do it, Mac?"
asked friend. Sure" replied Lit
tie Mac, land I'm going to walk his
legs OFF, too. Then maybe he'll be
easier to beat when race him"

There were five worlds champions
at the track yesterday. liver Law

and Marcus Hurley, amateur world
champion of 1904, both titles won in
London; Frank l.. Kramer and Dom
aid McDougall. professional and anna
teur title holders, respectively. last

pion at the present time. as well as
having held the title on three pre-
vious years.
Jackie Clark rode a bonehead race
in the final of the one-third mile
open. He got away first at the gun.
but purposely dropped back and al
lowed Grenda to take the lead. The
big fellow put on an awful burst of
speed and Clark could not get near
the front again, finishing fifth. He
might have won the race if he held a
good position.
There were twenty-six starters in
the two-mile novice and of this
bunch eight riders went down in
three separate spills None, however,
was injured.
