ana class is the long suit OF the
Tigers these days. To Harry Smith,
the manager, much of the credit is
due, and the fans everywhere are
giving him great credit for the cali
bre of ball the team displaying Not
only that, but numbers of the more
enthusiastic are going to make life
more enjoyable for the manager next
| Saturday, when the occasion to be
celebrated will be known as Harry
Smith Day." A big time is planned
and a present for the manager will
be in order Just now a pin is to be
the gift, but they do say pins as
gifts cross love, cross purposes and
are unlucky. Anyway, if "hoodoo''
should develop, the blame can be
easily traced to George L. Solomon,
president of the Newark club, in
whose fertile and liberal brain the
| idea emanated.

Next Saturday as the day of honor
ing Manager Smith is fine and dandy,
but it would probably have been
much wiser to have waited a little
longer before spilling the enthusiasm.
i The season is young yet, and as
strong as the Tigers appear to be, a
few bad breaks may turn the tide.
The fans, no doubt, will respond lib
orally toward making Harry Smith
Day" a big affair. That is as it
should be. He has managed well, and
he deserves great credit.

The game yesterday was a hard one
to lose after thirteen innings of ster-
ling effort. The fourteenth inning
though, had to come, and with it de-
feat. The battle was severe and the
Tigers finally cracked. Buffalo in
all. had the luck of the game. The
loss of the game was offset in a way
by the size and the enthusiasm of
the crowd. Newark had not been
supporting the team as literally as
| she ought to. but the latter part of
last week the fans began to turn out
IN large numbers and yesterday there
was a tremendous gathering. That
is at it should be. The cry is al
ways for a winner, and when a win
ner is in sight the club has a perfect
right to expect a large patronage
The games during the remainder OF
the home stay should be well at
tended and the same enthusiasm thai
marked the contest yesterday should
be in evidence. With the passing OF
Harry Smith Day" next Saturday
we will not see the Tigers very otter
for a time.
