BENCALS EXPECT LITTLE HELP
FROM ROYALS, LEAFS and HERD
Smiths Men Had Hoped Montreal Would Stop
Rochester, but Now Realize They Must Fight
Their Own Battles to Protect Lead.
CURTIS COMES BACK A LITTLE TOO SOON

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. New
ark wanted two victories yesterday,
and wanted them badly-not because
Harry Smiths men harbor any es-
pecialiy bitter feelings against the
Orioles, but because these Rochester
Hustlers have gone on a rampage,
and no team seems able to stop their
triumphant march. The Tigers ex-
pected confidently that the Montreal
Royals would at least split even with
the Flower City brigade. Instead,
the Royals. though they fought hard,
were beaten twice in pitchers bat
ties.
The Royals were the team that the
Tigers depended on to keep the Hus-
tiers from getting too close. Little
assistance Is expected from Toronto
or Buffalo, though the old animosity
between Buffalo and Rochester may
spur the Clymerites on to renewed
efforts in case the Hustlers become
really dangerous and have a chance
for the flag.
In way. Newark was lucky to
win even one game here yesterday
In the Labor Day double-header. The
scored on a passed ball, which let
Higgins over the pan in the ninth
inning. Barger pitched great ball
and had the better of his argument
with Roth, but the Tigers failed to
hit in the pinches and many of the
safeties were wasted. The final
: score was 3D., in spite of the fact
that the Tigers outhit the Orioles, IL
hits to 4. Ordinarily Newark's
smoothly-working machine would
pick UP double the number of tallies
ON a dozen hits.
Harry Smith asked for volunteers
after winning the first game, and
was pleased when Cliff Curtis, who
worked Friday, said he was ready to
beard tho lion in Its own den. The
lion, however, became ferocious in the
sixth inning, and in q jiffy six tallies
had been recorded. After they got
two more runs off the former Dodger
in the next round he was removed.
Hall was given a chance to work.
and the Orioles scored four times on
him.
The hitting honors in the first game
went to Higgins and Myers. This
pair of sturdy stickers took down
three bingles each. Higgins scored
two of Newark's three runs. Myers
dTONe III OWdCiild Will u iPiC' hAS
was the only one of his drives that
counted in the scoring. Hi made
amends for an error he made in the
seventh inning when he let Houser's
single get away. allowing one of the
Orioles to score and giving the batter
a chance to reach third base. Three
of the four hits Baltimore made off
Barger came In that round. At other
/ times he was invincible
The second game was a nip-and-
tuck affair for five rounds. Neither
side could score Then in the sixth
inning Curtis yielded six runs. Six
hits and one error caused all the
damage. Egan and Russell led with
singles Daniels doubled over first
base scoring Egan. Midkiff hit to
right field. sending in Russell and
Daniels. Ball then struck out, but
before 1t ended Houser doubled, Coles
got an inf1eld hit and Parent walked.
"A bad throw by Getz let Houser in.
Then Egan and Russell, up for the
second time, drew passes. Daniels
finally ended 1t by tanning.
Newarks only runs in the second
game came in the eighth inning. Getz
was safe on Midkiff's error. Tooley,
batting for Curtis, singled. Gagnier's
triple into the crowd scored both run
ners.
