NEWARK IDLE THURSDAY
Especial to the Newark start

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. 90
Manager Harry Smith, of the Tigers,
has consented to do the Buffalo club
a favor and in so doing is aiding his
old chieftain, Fred Clarke, leader oil
the Buccaneers. The Buffalo and Pitts
burgh clubs wanted to play an exni-
bition game Thursday at Buffalo. The
Tigers were originally scheduled 70

consented to play double-header on
Saturday giving Pittsburgh chance

Rochester fans are all worked up
var the Quinn Schmidt trade with
the Boston Nationals. This pair OF
Ilavers. 1t is reported, are to go TO
Boston. but the deal seems to be un-
confirmed by official sources In Rocn-

looking for something big in return
Rumor hath it that the st. LOUIS
Browns have offered five players for
Truesdale and Main, of the Bisons.
The Newark Club obtained Ducky
Holmes from Buffalo just at the right
time. After August 20 no deals can

there can be no cliquing together Tor
one club to aid another in obtaining
some coveted position.

Newark is a great bicycle town.
More than $1,000 people turned out to
witness the races yesterday. And
they saw some mighty good racing,
too.
The pace in the 25-mile race was
fast at all times. At the twentieth
mile the riders were only "a seconds
behind the record for the distance,
while at the finish they were / min
ute 2S 2-5 seconds behind the record
time of 54:13. made by Kramer at
New Haven, on July IA, 1910.
The fall of Mcnamara and pune
lures of Grenda, Kramer, Cavanagh
and Root robbed the finish of the race
of lot of interest.
Clark rode fine racing. During
the early part OF the race he did not
seem to pay any attention to position,
but after the twentieth mile he kept
near the front at all times.
Bob Spears remained in last, or
very near last. position, until the
twenty-fourth mile. Then he moved
up bit.
Norman Hansen, Lloyd Thomas,
Ernie Pye and Willie Coburn were
the principal gamers through the lap
prize route. Hansen annexed twenty
seven of the dollar bills hung up.
Thomas got twenty-six, Pye took
down thirteen and Coburn nineteen.
Clark got one of the 81 prizes and
could have had several more during
the latter part of the race had he not
stalled and called to Hansen, Morton
or Thomas to go after the single
bucks"
Gus Wohlrab was roundly Missed for
fouling McDougall in the three-mile
open. Wohlrab deserved the Kisses and
also the disqualification and suspen-
sion melted out by Referee Ross. AS
the switch was particularly delib-
crate, open and vicious one.
The Motordrome amateurs, with the
exception of Gus Wohlrab, were on
their good behavior, 1t being the first
time they have been allowed to ride
at the Velodrome since their desertion
last May.
Johnny Hayes. the winner of the
Marathon race at the London Olym-
piad of 1908, was at the track.

four CONTESTS IN
J THE,FLOWER CITY
, BengaIs' Schedule Requires a
Quartet of Games With
Hustlers.
A DOUBLE.HEADER TODAY

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. 26.-The
oddly constructed International
League schedule requires four games
with the Rochester club to be played
here in the Flower City within the
next three days. A double-header is
scheduled today, and the Tigers after
riding all night from Montreal have
. twice their usual work to perform
Manager Harry Smiths men have
had plenty of rest in Montreal, how
ever, and the pitching staff Is In good
shape.
The Tigers got in only one OF their
three scheduled games at Montreal
rain spelling yesterdays double
header. The teams had fought three
rounds of the first game and the SCORE
stood l to against Newark when the
drops came down and the clouds
started to leak Six thousand fans
grabbed their rain checks and the
Newark club mournfully watched
President Sam Liohtenhein reduce
the figures of the Tiger check from
$500 to $500.
While the Tigers won the series
from the Royals on the seasons rec
ord by taking eleven and losing nine
games to Kitty Bransf1eld's men,
every game between Newark and
Montreal this season was hard-fought
and the Tigers found the Royals
hard proposition every time they
played.
During this trip, the last of the sea-
son for Newark, around the upper
end of the circuit, the Smithies Were
scheduled to play only three games,
but the Rochester series this season
\ -, IN a ~
Der of jumps the Hustlers made to
Newark for Sunday games. Instead
of playing four games on their last
trip here the Tigers met the Roches-
ter team only twice in a double bill.
Rochester fans are expected to
turn out in big round numbers today
because of the added attraction of
seeing Raleigh Aitchison, the league s
best pitcher, on the mound for New
ark. Aitchisen and Lew McCarty Will
pack up after today's games and
head for Brooklyn.
Cliff Curtis, the new Bengal finger,
was ordered to report to Newark at
Rochester today. There is a posi-
bility that he may twirl for the Tigers
in one of the games.
George Bell started yesterdays bat
tie at Montreal and went only three
innings. Bell will probably be given
a rest today to work tomorrow or
Wednesday. Cy Barger, who has
been very successful against the
Hustlers, will work in one of the
games here.
Ducky Holmes lost his first game to
Montreal Saturday. His record In a
Newark uniform is four victories and
one defeat Before Joining the Tigers
Ducky had won five and lost three
games for Buffalo, so he has record
of nine victories and four defeats for
the season with the two clubs.

THESE HAPPENED AS CROWD LOOKED ON

After riding almost five miles with
his rear firing slowly going down
from a puncture, Champion Kramer
was forced to retire at eighteen miles
and five laps.
Fred Hill and George Cameron came
together on the lower turn with two
laps to go in the big race. Hill got
a hard fall, but Cameron managed to
stay on his wheel.
Wee Willie" Murray got his first
fall at the track yesterday. The mid
get went down in the first heat of the
mile handicap. but was not injured,
Strange to say, McDougall. the lit
tie amateur champion, did not get a
single hand of applause when he
made his first appearance on the
track yesterday. He came on just as
the crowd was applaudlng Spears for
beating Kramer in the two-thirds-
mile handicap and McDougall was not
noticed.
Spears apparently caught Kramer
asleep in the final of the handicap, as
he was past the champion before the
latter knew he was coming. Spears
was going very fast and 1t Is doubtful
IL Kramer could have kept the lead
had he been watching for Spears.
Frank Kramer could have had a
new world record to his credit just
as we'll as not in his heat of the two
thirds-mile handicap. Jake Magin
was the winner of the heat in liza flat
which is one-fifth of a second less
than the record time established by
Paddy Hehir at Salt Lake City on
July 81, 1911. Kramer rode very fast
until he was in second place and then
when he knew he would qualify for
the final eased up, finishing wheel
length behind Magin If he had
known a record was In sight and had
kept on going he would probably have
finished under liza.
Grassy Ryan drew disqualified
ton and suspension from the referee
for causing Mcnamara to fall In the
big race.
Mcnamara went down on the bell
lap for the tenth mile when Ryan
rode him off the track on the Mum
avenue side. Ryan then came on and
tried to grab the $40 intermediate
mile prize, but Cavanagh fooled him
by nipping him right at the finish

Just three innings of baseball were
played in the entire International
League circuit yesterday. Rain then
descended and put an end to the first
battle of a scheduled doubleheader be-
tween Newark and Montreal. The
Royals had picked up one-run lead,
while the Tigers had not scored.
None Of the other teams were
scheduled to play yesterday, SO there
were no new developments. The Jer-
sey City Shelters dropped two more
games Saturday. Baltimore lent the
Tigers a helping hand by beating
Rochester twice on the same day. The
Orioles cleaned up in thcir series with
Rochester, winning three games in q
row. Newark also lost Saturday, but
the Tigers, instead of losing ground,
gained a half game on their neaest
rivals, because the Hustlers were
twice beaten, while the Royals took
only one game from Newark.
The schedule requires a new shift
for today. Newark moves along to
Rochester, Jersey City advances to
Toronto. Baltimore will go to Buffalo
and Providence stops at Montreal.
