LINCOLN GIANTS
5. WANT R'REvENGE!
Dusky Team Yanquished by
Tigers Yesterday Would Play
Series With Newark.
BENGALS LUCKY TO WIN

Rod McMahons Lincoln Colored
giants are looking for return match
With the Newark Tigers. That re-
verse they got yesterday did not suit
The dusky hued diamond warriors
from the Bronx at ALL The Bengals
Just nosed them out, 80. After the
game, Mcmahon, the manager of the
Giants, made all sorts of boasts about
what his club would do to the
Bengals If they could get Manager
Harry Smiths men to play them a
game at the Polo Grounds. It is
p0shihse that the def might be ac-
cepted next fall when the Tigers go
on a transforming exhibition after
the pennant is won. The feeling was
SO warm in some spots yesterday
that there is bare possibility that
a series might be arranged between
the Lincoln Giants and the Tigers,
just to show the true calibre of the
two teams.
To their credit 1t must be said that
the Giants are classy bunch of all
round ball players and are built along
the architectural lines of real giants.
Their hitting is of the smuggling
k8riety and they gathered eight raps
pff Al Shack, three more safeties than
the Bengals had to show against Will
liams, The fact that they did not
bunch their bingles and that the
Bengals outfielded them resulted in
the defeat of the dark-visaged foe.
L. I..OI 10 r.yif1 q
they got one of their runs on a tech
hicality when a wild throw struck
the grandstand emitting Collins, who
was going to third, to an extra base.
"A wild throw by Rightfelder Thomas
let in Newark's first two tallies, while
b pass to W. Zimmerman and Myers
triple netted another point. The
enemy showed their keen sense of the
appropriate at opportune times by
pulling the hit-and-run play which
resulted in their first run, catching
the Tigers. completely off their guard.
Big Williams, the Giants's pitcher,
was a little bit wobbly early in the
day and inclined to be wild at times,
but he steadied down as the game
grew on and Hi Myers was the only
Bengal stickwielder who had the
right formula for meeting Williamss
pitching on the nose. He had two
singles and a triple, and on his fourth
time at bat was thrown out by a step
on a hit grounder to short.
Al Shack was greeted Justify in the
first inning. The youngster OF the
Newark pitching staff has faced the
Lincoln Giants before. Manager
Smith wanted to save the Kid for to-
days game, the opener against
Rochester, but AL was so eager TO
beat the Giants, who hail from the
same reservation as he comes from,
Smith consented to let AL go the
route. The visitors seemed to be
getting familiar with Shack in the
last four innings, when five hits were
made off his shoots, but in all but
khe sixth round, when they punched
two bingles, the visitors averaged but
bne hit per round.
The Bengals went out early IN the
game to cinch the fracas. Myers
6pened the second round with a clean
single to centre field. Collins stung
a. beaut to right centre on q hit and
run play. Myers was almost on third
base when Thomas fooli5hly at
tempted to catch him at that bag
Collins reached second base easily
on the play. Then Getz hit to the
same Thomas who threw wildly to
the plate to get Myers, after the fly
mad been caught. The ball struck
the grandstand and after Myers
scored, Collins also crossed the dish.
WILLIAMS recovered the ball and
play was made which ordinarily
would have retired Collins at the
pIate had he not been entitled to
score on the ground rule. This run,
as 1t turned out, did lot of damage
in. the final result Newark gathered
in another tally before the Giants got
busy. Hi Myers figured largely in
that third and winning run with his
triple, which followed w. thinner
mans walk and theft.
After the first inning, when Cans
was cut down at the plate by Daitons
perfect throw, following double and
a single by Lloyd. the aggregation
from the Bronx did not approach the
plate again until the sixth. inning.
In sliding the bases they were par
ticularly reckless and they employed
all of the cute little base running
tricks resorted to by the major
leaguers. Harry Smith was spiked
in two places in the first round by
Cans, who came diving in with
spikes in the air. One foot caught
Harry above the knee and the other
below the ankle. The fact that he
was not injured was by the merest
chance of good luck. In the ninth
inning, as parting memento, Gag
nier was spiked by Wiley. but was
able to finish out the game.
Poles gave a clever exhibition of
base running in the third inning.
when he stole second and third
bases, but Cans, who had previously
doubled, flied to Dalton for the third
out. There was a wild joyfest in
the grandstand, where many dusky
admirers of the Giants held sway, in
the sixth inning.
The same Poles opened with a
single. On a perfect hit and run play,
Cans singled through the hole at
shortstop, as Gagnier went over to
cover second. base. Billy Zimmerman
shot the ball to third base, but the
peg went to the visitors bench and
Poles scored, Cans taking third base.
Lloyd then fouled to Swacina. John
son walked and double steal put
