MONTREAL 8, NEWARK 5

Richter, the Royal finger in the
first game, was a very lucky indi-
vidual. He was in tight holes time
and again, but his mates were in a
scoring mood, and they piled up
eight runs behind him, which should
be sufficient for any pitcher of class
IA calibre to turn into victory. The
final tally was s to against the
Tigers, who struggled flercely and
gamely to overcome the lead the
Royals got off Jeff Holmquist. but
were never able to quite catch up.

NEWARK 7, MONTREAL I

Displaying a complete form rever-
sal in the second section of the
double-header the Tigers piled up
runs with ease on the twirling of
Jimmy Dowd. formerly of the Utica
Club. The locals began their scor-
ing in the third inning when Mon
treal had gathered a one-run lead on
Al Mattern through triple by How
ley, followed by Myers's muff. This
first run came without a hit. Passes
to Wltler and Tooley with two out
proved costly when Deininger muffed

in two runs with a triple in the
seventh, and had two other hingles

the Royals going after his first ball

Benny Purtell, not satisfied with
playing a flashy fielding game,
starred ON the aggressive. On his
first trip to the plate he thumped out
a long triple to right field, and scored
the first run of the game on White
mans resounding single. Before the
contest was over Purtell had tailed
four of his teams eight runs. Hal
stein was a demon with the willow,
cracking ont three hits that sent in
three runs. He also had a sacrifice.

weather was so hot it was unbear-

the Brussels-Par road race, which
was run over roads that were COW

There are 100000 colored families
