Mrs. Cooke was on her way to Pueblo.
A disabled biplane is said by some

is the opinion of j. d. Knight, one OF
Cookies mechanicians. A woman liv-
ing near the fair grounds saw the
slender brace fall into her backyard

knight. 1t is said. The strip was fif-

Physicians in Pueblo and others In

TIGERS WIND Up By
DEFEATING YANBS
Fitting Finale for Exhibition
Schedule Is Newark's .s::s:
AZ Victory. 4
MAKE EVERY HIT COUNT

"A
With a AZ victory over the New
York Americans, Harry Smiths I'll
gers wound up their exhibition sched-
ule for 1914 yesterday. Among the
notable decisions gained over big
league teams during the spring train-8
ing period were those CLEANED by the
Newark Champions from Washing
ton. Brooklyn, Philadelphia Athletics
and the New York Yankees. The.
Dodgers were lucky enough to win
the series from Newark this year by,
taking two games out of three, butt
the Bengals had the satisfaction of
trimming the big Ebbets band on their
own lot in Flatbush. . Il
The most remarkable feature of the
Tigers work yesterday was their abil-
ity TO make hits count--a valuable
stunt with the Bengals last year.
Just six bingles were recorded off,
Mr.. Burr, the Yankee finger, and
everyone OF the six figured in the
scoring-thus 1t was that Newark waa
able to make four runs on six safe,
ties. III.
Sherrod Smith twiried gilt-edged'
ball, tanning Ave of the Highianders
and driving in the first run of the
game with timely single. Aside.
from the fourth round, when hewas
winded, after running the bases, SHEER
rod had the Yanks completely atAhis-
mercy. Four of the visitors severn
bingles were recorded in the fourth
inning, but good support kept the
Yanks from getting more than two
runs, out of a fine array of clean base,
hits.
Gus Getz opened the third inning
for Newark, with a single, and after
| he had advanced on Heckinger's sac
rifice. Smith singled, sending Gus oyer
the pan. In making the turn at third
base, Gus twisted his ankle. s+r,,.
A pass to Walsh in the fourth in
ming started a disastrous round for
| Smith. Before the smoke cleared
away the Yanl1s had followed with
four singles in a row, contributed by
Boone, Holden, Gilhooley and Peu3ss
| inpaugh Holden, however, was run
| down trying to stretch his safety and
this helped Smith out of tight plaaa.
! AS 1t was, the Ynnks used a base on
/ balls, four singles and a sacriiicaitf
| besides two stolen bases they wasted
in this inning-all to get two runs.
Eddie Zimmerman was very much
| in the game throughout the nine in
nings, and next to Gus Getz wasssa
brilliant luminary. Ed arrived sa8Rly
on first every time he came up, drAwr
ing a pass, making n hit and reaeh>
ing first once on an error. Ed put4tbe
merry round in motion in the
seventh inning, when Newark
cinched the game. After w. thinner
man had walked. Eddie singled,
sending his partner to third. Ed stole
second base, then Getz drilled lTis
second safety to left, scoring tina
two Zimmermans. The final t2llX
was scored by Move in the eighth I'M
ming. Move singled and then, AFTER
being caught off first base, wentra
J the way to third. when Boone threw
badly to get him at second bass
Collins singled and Move came home.
