T|GE, OLD BOY, IS
ONE GAME FELLOW
Heat a Knockout Blow, but 1t
Doesn't Stop Bengals from
Winning.
BIRDS AGAIN THE VICTIMS

BALTIMORE. Md, July S.-No In
ternational League club has ever
given a better exhibition of true grit
than the Newark Tigers gave here
yesterday. when, in spite of the fact
that two of their number we're pros
trated on the field because of the heat
and others were visibly affected
Newark won by a 5-4 score, making II
three victories in a row over the
Birds.
The excessive heat had an awful
men and there was not a Tiger In
the lineup who was not more or less
wobbly. Harry Swacina and Raleigh
Aitchison dropped in their tracks, and
Jack Dalton seemed on the verge of
collapse two or three times.
Newark made six errors. due d.
rectly to the oppressive heat and
humidity, but the Tigers never quit
and after having tossed the game
away. so 1t seemed, on errors, they
rallied and pulled the brand from
the burning" as it were.
One or two of the Baltimore players
also complained, but Dunns men are
accustomed to the climate here, and
furthermore they spent their nights
on the outskirts of the town in the
cooler suburbs, while the Tigers were
cooped up In a stuffy hotel. Gus
Getz was overcome Tuesday night at
the Tigers hotel, but was able to go
through with his work yesterday.
The damage wrought by the heat
here yesterday in the Tiger ranks
brings to mind the double-header
Newark played here three years ago,
under Joe McGinnity when no less
than five of the Bengals were pros
trated on the field. Benny Meyers,
Jake Gettman, Joe Agler, Jack Kelly
and Bill Louden were all carried off
the field. Newark wound up the game
with Lee In right field, Holtz in CEN
tire field Crisp on flrst base and
Mueller on shortstop. Joe McGinnity
had to sign Steve Brodie to play left
field that day and he carried him for
a week or so after.
Aitchison and Shawkey started yes
terday's game. Aitchison had to quit
In the fifth inning and Shack, who
finished, got credit for the victory
Billy Zimmerman had big day with
the stick at Shawkey's expense. His
double in the first inning sent in Dali
ton. WING had beaten out an infield hit
and taken second base on Gagniers
sacrifice hit. In the third inning
Shawkey famed three men. but the
other three Tigers who faced him In
that round had hits. Dalton tripled
and scored on Billy Zimmerman's
three-sack soak. Swacina's bingle to
right scored w. Zimmerman.
Baltimore gained two points in the
same inning on two hits and an
error. Bergen singled to left and
took third when Shawkey's hit to
right was fumbled by Dalton. Shaw
key taking second base. A couple of
infield outs enabled both runners to
tally.
Baltimore tied it In the fifth on
Swacina's second error. which gave
Capron q life, a stolen base and
Shawkey's second hit. That ended
Aitchison, who could stand the heat
no longer. Shack toed the slab in the
sixth inning and Baltimore took the
lead. Houser's double and muff of
Derricks fly, Dalton's second error
gave the Birds one run advantage,
The Tigers won In the seventh in
ming. With two out. w. Zimmerman
singled for his third hit, Myers
singled and w. Zimmerman scored on
Corcoran's error. Myers taking third
base. Collins got an infeld hit and
