bat In the eighth inning OF the New
ark-Baitimore game, at wieden-
mayors Park yesterday nipped a
Tiger batting rally in the bud, and
what slim chances the Bengals had
OF winning the game faded away. the
score being Orioles 5, Tigers 0.
Bob Shawkey, who is back in form
again after temporary lapse,
showed the Newark stickwlelders an
assortment of benders the Bengals
did not like, yesterday. The tally
was 20. with Aitchison on Newark's
end of the argument. when Dalton
opened up the sixth round. The fans
implored Jack to do something and
the telegraph dispatcher" did his
best to dispatch one of Shawkey's
shoots to the distant regions of the
enclosure. 1t was the time to make
or break" for the Bengals. Dalton
and Shawkey had a battle royal, one
of the kind that keeps the fans on
edge. Dalton fouled off, at least five
times and had a couple of balls when
Shawkey tried to slip one over the
middle OF the pan. Jack swung hard
and true. The ball sailed to deep left
straight over Parents head. Freddy
was off with the crack of the bat,
however and he nipped the ball just
as it descended near the low fence.
Had it dropped safely the ball would
have bounded over the low fnece for
a home run. Gagnier Immediately
followed with a clean single to left
field. one of his two sharp drives.
Shawkey's support had saved him,
however. and he grew more and more
confident as the game wore on. When
the Bengals did have his delivery
gagged the rain clouds threw such
a dark shadow over the field it was
impossible for the Tigers to meet his
speedy ones.
The Tigers defense was up to that
class AA standard which has kept
the Bengals on top most of the sea-
son. The Newark infielders supported
Aitchison royalty, GetZ, in particu-
lar, making a pair of brilliant stops.
Aitchison's curve ball seemed to be
breaking as perfectly as ever and the
Birds could do nothing with it, but
they landed on his other shoots IN
the critical moments. Neal Ball with
three of his four hits drove in three
tallies and scored a fourth run him.
self. Ball hits the spheroid with a
sharp swing that sends it on line.
Everyone of his four hits were clean
cut drives, the never-in-doubt
variety.
Shawkey, who had been overworked
early in the season, held the Tigers
70 six scattered hits yesterday. It
was his first victory over the Bengal
hand this season. Aside from the
sixth inning when the Tigers showed
signs of getting to him, Shawkey was
in hot water only once. In the eighth
inning the Tigers filed the bases with
two out. An. extra base hit by Swa-
Gina would have put the Tigers In
the running, even though the Birds
had five tallies at the time. Swacina,
however, poked foul to Bergen.
-.
Bergen, by the way deserves as
much credit as Shawkey for the shut
out handed to the Tigers Bill knows
every Newark stickwielder and he
mixed them up in a manner that was
tantalizing. Eddie Zimmerman was
retired on strikes three times in a
row. All told Shawkey had six strike
outs. The Bengals left eight of their
number on the sacks yearning for
bingle which would have meant a
run. Jack Dalton reached the third
bag twice, starting out with a hit on
one occasion and drawing pass in
the eight inning. The only time New
ark had a man on that bag with none
down was in the ninth round when
Collins opened with a triple, but
Shawkey frightened up and retired
the next three batters, leaving Bill
stuck in the mud.
There was some comedy in the
ninth inning when Umpire Mullin
called the game temporarily when the
downpour became too severe to con-
tinue hostilities. Billy Zimmerman
and Jack Dalton went to the club
house and got into their street at
tire. thinking that the game was off
When it stopped raining and the
game was renewed, Barger had to go
to right field and Tooley went to left
field. Donnelly, who had relieved
Aitchison, pitched only one ball to
fan Cooper, the third man put out in
this round.
Baltimore got to Aitchison for the
first tally in the second inning. Der
rick singled but was forced by
Houser. Cooper walked. Parent then
placed one in left field, scoring Houser.
Their second run was the result of
Shawkey's single, a wild throw by
Swacina and Balls bingle to left field.
They sewed it up with three more
runs in the seventh inning on five
hits. Maisel and Capron singled and
both came home on Balls triple
Derrick chopped one over Gagnier's
head. scoring Ball. Houser grounded
out to Swacina, putting Derrick on
second base. Cooper hit to Gagnier
who made clever play, catching Der
rick off third base and pocketing him
SO that he was finally run down by
Sthe Newark infielders. The score
