TIGERS HAVE HARD
SCHEDULE AHEAD
To Play Seven Games in Four
Days, With Jumps Be-
tween.
BENGALS IDLE YESTERDAY

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Pros-
poets of playing two games here to-
day were nons too bright. The
weather was cloudy and threatened
rain. If the Bengals do not meet the
Bisons twice today thees games can
not be played, because the Tigers
play their farewell games of the sea-
son here tomorrow, and a double
header is on the bill for that day, too.
The Tigers will be kept Extremely
busy during the next few days, and
the pitching STAFF will be taxed 10 its
capacity. Seven games are scheduled
to be played in four days, with two
railroad jumps in between. If some
of the club officials had their way,
the Tigers would have to play four
double-headers in a row, for an at
tempt was made to induce Harry
Smith to bill a double-header with
Providence Sunday, playing off
postponement with the scheduled con-
ties the Grays have at Newark. Mon
day is Labor Day, and the Tigers
always play away from home on that
day, going to Baltimore for a series.
These seven games in four days will
break up Smiths pitching staff.
which is weaker now than II has been
any time this season. There is pos
sibility that Johnny Enzmann may
work here Sunday against the Provt-
dence Grays. Enzmann has been
working out regularly with the
Dodgers, and has been able to curve
the ball in practise. In case Enz-
mann reports that he is not fit for
battle, Newark fans will probably see
Cliff Curtis on the rubber in Newark
Sunday.
The Bisons have been easy for the
Tigers in their last three series so
the Tigers are not worried over the
outcome of this series. The Balti-
more Orioles are likely to make
trouble for Newark. however, be-
cause the Birds are playing with
more dash than they showed at any
time since the spring sprint, which
carried them to the top for time.
AS Others See Us.
A Buffalo scribe printed an inter
esting little comparison of the New
ark outfielders. His views are worth
repetition, but you don't have to be-
lieve him:
Gwen without William Collins, who
was taken over by the Brooklyn
Club. the Tigers have the best out
field in the league. Hi Myers is
probably the best outfielder of the
three for all-around ability. Northen
Is nowhere as BOOQ dS 0Olll1St Dul Ilo
is a fair hitter. Dalton will prob
ably get on oftener than any of the
regular trio, but is not as good
base runner as w. Zimmerman, who
leads the team in scoring runs. All
three outf1elders-Myers, Zimmerman
and Dalton are good fielders and ex-
ceptionally clever throwers."
just Supposing-l
Providing that the Hustlers do
overtake the Tigers and the race
narrows down to a fight in the last
week the Tigers will have slightly
the better of it on the schedule.
Rochester plays seven games in a
row with Toronto, three of them In
Toronto and four at home. Newark,
during the last week of the season,
has three games with Providence at
home. and two with the Shelters at
Wiedenmayer's Park. Another bat
tie that week is listed for decision
at Jersey. The Hustlers wind up
with a doubled header on Saturday
September 20, and the Tigers end
with one game on Sunday, September
81 Just supposing the teams were
tied Saturday night and the Bengals
had to beat the Skeeters to win the
pennant on that Sunday. There
would be some crowd and some ex-
element.
