Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-09-26


est Now that all arrangements have
been made the fans will know where
they are at The fact that the
Giants won the toss and the first
game will be played at the Pole
Grounds means that Newarkers viii
be especially pleased. The first gam,
is 1.-THE" game. as the boys say, ant
everybody around here will want tC
take in the opener. The series viii
begin on Tuesday. October Z, anC
from now on it will be all world:
series gossip. The proposition |!
such difficult one that there will
be little growing beforehand. After
ward, it may be different story
The opinion prevails that it is the
Giants pitchers against the Ath-
letics' sluggers. According to that
the fielding end of the game isn't
going to count for much. Whether
or no, picking the winner is only a
matter of guess. There are only two
guesses-the Giants and the Ath-
letics-and everybody ought to be
able to forecast the right one. Yet
there will be just about as many
wrong as right.

The Baseball Players Fraternity is
| going to make a few demands on the
big moguls of baseball next season.
And to be right in the swim the men,
| bers of the Newark championship
team, 1t is said, will all be out for an
| increase. There is said to be much
worry among the Tigers magnates,
and it is believed that some of them
would like to get out. AS Mr.. Ebbets
has been so strong in his declaration
| that he doesn't want to sell, but that
| he would sell if there was a demand
on the part of Newark citizens to buy,
there isn't much chance that the club
will change hands, for a time at least,
at the asking price. The fact that all
| the private business of the club has
been paraded around the streets by
one of the owners, and 1t is known
| just about how much was made this
year and how silent shares of stock
have become active, has had a ten
dency to put check on prospective
purchasers. There is talk of a stock
company being formed to buy the
club and it is said that the McKeever
/ brothers are not anxious at all to SELL
One thing, however is sure to happen
there will be a new president. If
the same owners remain in power
Henry Medicus will likely come here
from Brooklyn and take command.
If new company takes up the hold
ings a Newark man will be placed at
the head of the club. For the benefit
of those who may not know the ask
ing price for the club, $4,000, it is
said, will take it. Manager Harry
Smith has been looking for Frank
Million during the past few days with
| the idea, it is believed, of interesting
Mr.. Million in the proposition. Mana
ger Harry is anxious for a change in
ownership, for he has not had such an
easy time of it here. He says boldly
that he won't manage the team next
season if the present president is
around, and it is known that Smith
would like to have Newark men own
the club.
These few suggestions anent the
celebra ton comes from a fan:
]. p. N:
In regards to the fund that is be-
ing raised for our champion baseball
team, allow me to suggest the fol-
lowing: AT the entrance of both the
grand stand and bleachers have a
pot Cike the ones the Salvation Army
uses around Christmas) and let those
who desire to contribute do SO, and
have each pot taken care of by a
player of the team. You must real
ize that there are some fans who
cannot afford to give very much, and
although very DESTROYS of adding to
the fund with their 10. Is or so cent
pieces. feel as though it is not enough
to give publicly, and rather than hui
initiate themselves Gas they imagine)
will not contribute at all. ! feel that
this plan will appeal to many. l am
also of the opinion that If among the
published list in the Star there were
listed a few dollar contributors many
more would quickly join to swell the
fund. What about the city news
papers contributing, and above all
the Public Service Corporation?
take this opportunity to congratulate
you on your excellent writings and
interesting columns. Yours truly,
J. MAC.
It's up to the fans TO contribute
any old way they like.
}. P. N:
THAT'S NEWARK'S RAG.
| Everybody, everyone, Is as happy as
can be,
How the Tigers clinched the flag,
you see.
Down town and up town they're
jumping with joy:
The sports are saying it's the best
they ever saw.
Down at Wiedenmayers Park was
the scene of the game
! That brought the good old flag to
Newark.
So glory to it's name.
CHORUS.
Hurrah, hurrah, for the Tigers to-
day; how they fought and won:
| It's a grand old game that brought
Newark to fame,
Now Harrys work is done.
| That good old flag, that dear old rag,
he has brought it here,
And we hope to have another one at
the seasons close next year.
| So now the sports are happy, and
they all go ON the jay
! And wear smile once in a while,
For that's Newark's rag.
The winter winds will soon blow DER,
and the game will start again.
We hope then to see Chief Harry in
