WHILE E. ZIMMERMAN HAS HOMER AND A DOUBLE

Raleigh Aitchison, the Tigers
southpaw STAR slipped over just an
other shutout yesterday, with the
+ Jersey City team on the receiving
a end, Newark winning 10. It was
8 Aitchison's second victory in this
q series. AS a rule Raleigh does not
. pitch for shutouts; he has twirled
:, several games this season where he
(, might have BANKED the other fell
/, lows without run, but he has al
Il lowed them to escape with single
= tally chalked against him. 1t seems
- that Aitchison has bunch that
shutout games bring bad luck, but
against the Skeeters he has no such
: qualms of conscience. He shut the
Schlaflyites out for the second time
: this season.
s Raleigh was generous with his base
+, hits, he was satisfied to let them

when it came to runs--well, runs
y win games, and games win pennants.
;, that is Aitchison's philosophy. Ten
bngles did the Shelters account for
~ yesterday without a solitary run,

season, and failed to score once.

base on Eschen's fly to Collins. The
