DOINGS In THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE

Joe Kelley's hair is fast turning
gray. 1t reminds Joe of the year he
managed Boston when he looks at the
league standing, with Toronto in the
second division. Joe Kelley and
Harry Smith are former Boston man
ayers who have made good as leaders
in the international League. Camel
was with Cincinnati, but failed to
produce a winner as manager. 1t
proves that a manager is influenced a
whole lot by the men behind him,
meaning the magnates.
The three big league scouts saw
enough sensa tional work to satisfy
the most fastidious picker of live ones
here yesterday.
Gus Getz has run into first-class
batting slump. and when he does hit
somebody grabs the ball. His hot
smash at Simmons would have been a
single had it not been aimed directly
at the Hustler. Getz will get going
again in day or two, or we miss our
guess by big margin.
Collins has habit of getting a
safety the first time up in every
game. He did it twice yesterday.

THREE MAJOR LEAGUE SCOUTS WATCH
TIGERS TRIM HUSTLERS IN DOUBLE BILL

Three big league scouts gumshoed
into the grand stand at Wieden-
mayors Park yesterday afternoon.
and paid their way into the park to
escape detection during the double
header between the Tigers and
Hustlers. The three experts on scout
ing expeditions were Billy Murray,
former manager of the Jersey City
and Philadelphia Nationals, who is
doing sleuth duty for Fred Clarke's
Pittsburgh team. The second was
Billy Lush, ex-manager of the Mon
treal Royals, now on the New York
American League Clubs payroll.
The third was Louis Wetschler, doing
business for the ST. Louis Browns.
To induce big league scout to tell
the object of his quest would be like
trying to compel oysters to tell
whether pearl is confined within its
shell without opening the shell. 1t
was whispered about that the trio are
bidding for the services of Butch"
Schmidt, the heavy-hitting first
sacker of the Rochester team. 1t is
also rumored that the work of the
Tiger outfielders impressed all three
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-08-15

of the scouts and that Harry Swacina
was also up for speculation.
Rensselaer,, unaware that Aitchison
had been the property of Brooklyn
and that the recall has already been
sounded for Raleigh, declared that
the Tiger southpaw was $4,000
pitcher and a future star of the first
magnitude. He was going to make an
offer for Aitchison on a spot-cash
basis when informed how matters
stood. Rentschler was disappointed
when Lew McCarty did not catch in
the second game. but he liked the
steady work of Higgins immensely in
both games. Rentschler recommended
Lew McCarty to the Browns a year
ago. and may put in a draft for both
McCarty and Higgins.
No less than four big league at
taches have been in Newark now in
less than a week looking over the
Tigers material. and one man is sure
to be drafted by the big leaguers.
The Tigers consistent work in hold
ing the lead this season has attracted
the attention of the entire country,
and moro gumshoe experts are likely
to watch the Tigers play on the road.

PRESIDENT OF PHILLIES
ANSWERS DEATHS CALL

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 15.-Wil-
liam H. Locke, president of the
Philadelphia National League club,
died yesterday at Ventnor. near At
lantic City. He had been i'll for some
time. Some time after the start of
the championship season he under
went an operation. He grew stronger
and was able to sit on the porch of
his home.
About two weeks ago. during tho
heated spell. his strength failed him
and he was taken to Atlantic City
with the hope that the change would
be of benefit. He continued to fail
and the end came with his wife and
mother-in- law at his bedside. David
Snyder. secretary of the ball CLUB
and brother-in-law of Mr.. Locke,
went to Atlantic City upon receipt Of
the news.

Foolish question for today: Who
will pitch for Newark?
Carlo was a failure as relief
pitcher for the Royals at Baltimore
and had to retire in the second game.
Eddie Gagnier is improving, and
was a spectator at yesterdays games,
witnessing the contests from the
grand stand. Ed says he will be fit
for the fray by tomorrow.
Quinn pitched double-header, but
he did not pitch eighteen innings, be-
cause the Tigers did not take their
half of the ninth in either contest.
Camel paid brilliant compliment
to the Tigers when he said they were
the greatest defensive team in the
minor leagues, and they also look
pretty slick on the offense, now don't
they, John?
Calhoun evidently does not relish
the idea Of giving up his job as first
sacker for the Shelters to Joe Agler
He made four hits in the two games
against Toronto at Jersey City yester-
day.

know where he got it.
President James e. Gaffney, of the
Boston Nationals denied yesterday
that he had not made an offer for
Outfielder Gilhooley, of the Montreal
club. His reason for taking this
stand was that he did not care to be
used as an advertising means of
boosting prices on young ball players.
The ST. Louis Browns will be with
out the services of two of their best
pitchers for some time. Roy Mitchell,
the star right-hander. who alleges he
was insulted by "Silk" O'Loughlin on
Tuesday. and who engaged in a
verbal battle with the arbiter, yester-
dav received notice from Ban john
son that he had been indefinitely sus-
pended.

spring, has been purchased by the
Boston Red Sox and will report to
that team in a couple of weeks.

Association.
Schuyler Britton, president of the
st. Louis Cardinals. was asked yes

Louis club" he said. ''if the terms
are satisfactory" But he would not
say the trade in question would go
through.
McGraw merely smiled when the
subject was mentioned to him and
neither affirmed nor denied 1t.

HustIerS Twice in Exciting Games.
WORK IN DEFENSE SENSATIONAL !.

in spite of the fact that he twirled
both games and worked sixteen in-e
nings, during which he allowed four
runs and eleven hits. Bert Tooley, by
his speed on the paths, won the sec
ond game, he stole the first run New
ark got and he drove in the other two
tallies with his timely bingle. On the
fielding end Myers and Collins saved
the game. Collins threy Schmidt out
at the plate when he tried to score on
a clean single to right centre. Myers's
feat was great catch of drive from
Conroy's bat in the ninth round of the
second game. Hi fell down on his
back, but caught the ball with one
hand. while lying on his back. Mar
tin and Mcmillan followed with hits
which would surely have tied the
score and perhaps won the game for
Rochester, had not Myers caught the
ball Conroy hit. Tooley's sensational
work in the fourth inning tied the
score after Rochester had picked up
run. Tooley walked and went to
second on wild pitch. He went all
the way homo when Mcmillan threw
out Swacina. 1t was a striking ex-
ample of the value of a hit-and-run

Joe Kelley's fallen idols from To-
ronto are the next and final attrac-
ton on the menu before Tige hits the
long trail that leads around the In
ternational League orbit. The Fall
Of Rome" has nothing on the DE
scent of Toronto" These Kelleyites
are travelling around with the title
Champions of the International
League" stamped on their luggage
and their linen. and they have been
gracing the cellar position instead of
stellar position in the International
League cast. OF late the visitors
from the North have shown ten
dency to rise because their pitching
staff has shown a decidedly drastic
form reversal, having displayed par
ttcularly good form and a vast In
provement since the Canuck band
departed on this voyage through
Uncle Sans territory. Just now the
Kelleyites look as though they are
capable of putting up a stronger
front than at any time this season,
and naturally the Tigers are not ex-
pecting to gather in any games from
the Kelley clan while reclining on
velvet or plush-covered sedans.
Rather the Bengals should not ex-
pect to find the Toronto nut a hard
one to crack, and it may be covered
with sharp prickly thorns.
After devouring the naughty Hust-
lers twice in one day, the Bengals
regard the Maple Leafs as lunch
somewhat frugal, but Manager Smith
will be satisfied and the Tigers will
not suffer from indigestion IL they
get away with three out of four
games in this series.
Hustlers Outbatted Tigers.
The Tigers. at least. had the salts
faction of winning two games in one
day from the Hustlers and also talk
ing a series from the Ganzelites.
There is no denying that the Hust-
lers have a punch that resembles
very much the kick of mule for
ferocity. They held the Tigers to 10
and 3-2 victories yesterday. In three
of the four games the Hustlers out
batted the Tigers, but they lacked
the ability of the Bengals to make
their runs count. and the sensational
fielding of the Newark team resulted
in Tiger victories.
Newark's victory in the first game
yesterday was credited to Raleigh
Aitchison. The Bengals crack
moundsmen had to pitch shutout bal
to win. Swacina's double, following
Collins's single in the first inning
was Newark's only run. The Hustlers
| twice got men so far as third base
due principally to misplays. The prize
fielding plays of the first game went
| to Swacina, who grabbed a redhoi
| liner and threw to third base
doubling Conroy off that bag, and H
Myers, who threw Mcmillan out al
third base on another sensational
play.
