PUNCH AT RIGHT
TIME WINS GAME
FOR CHAMPIONS
Tigers Took Advantage of the Break
When 1t Came in the Seventh
Round of Battle
CAMEL BLAMES IT ON THE UMPIRES

The old ability to stick in the win
ming punch at the right time won
yesterdays game for the Newark In
ternatlonal League champions from
Rochester. In every game there
occurs the psychological moment
which the players themselves call the
"break." Both teams had their turns
yesterday. The Tigers made the most
of their opportunity, while Rochester
was unable to pull the game out Of
the fire when luck broke their way in
the ninth inning. From a technical
standpoint the contest was a gem.
The worst miss-cue, of the mental
variety, in the entire contest was that
pulled by Dick Breen when he struck
at one of Enzmann's shoots and
tapped to Johnny in the ninth inning.
Breen happened to have two balls and
no strikes at the time. 1t was the
critical moment. with two Oil the
paths and none out. The proper base
ball dope should have zen to pasr
that one up to look over Enzmann's
control.

Myers shows HIS Pluck.

Newark's attack was far superior
to Rochester, inasmuch as the Tigers
took advantage of their first oppor-
tunity in the seventh inning and
made two runs on clean hitting, while
Rochester was aided first of all by
an error in the ninth inning.
Harry Myers was the aggressive
hero of the game, and if there is any
ore Tiger to be accredited with the
defensive laurels that honor belongs
to Bert Tooley. Twice Bert tossed
out members of the Camel gang by
using his head and his arm in con-
junction with one another. The
Rochester team is nowhere near so
fast as the Tigers on the paths.
Schultz, Breen, Barrows and McMil-
Ian all suffered broken ankles or legs
during the past year, and the effect
on their base running is noticeable,
While Rollie BarroWs is still a crack
eriack hitter and an excellent fielder,
his leg is not yet properly healed, and
1t is a severe handicap for a ball
player of his calibre to be retarded
perhaps permanently by such mis-
hap.

Pulling the unexpected is an eX-
cellent move in baseball, but at this
juncture the Hustlers had things COM
ing their own way. Captain Tommy
Mcmillan, of the Rochesters, berated
Breen's move in open contempt. and
he said a few things about Breen's
dome which We're very concrete. In
the clubhouse after the game, too,
Breen was roundly roasted for his
mistake, and John Camel ordered
every member of his crew to appear
before him for a consultation at IL
o'clock today. So it is with a loser.
The Tigers would have won, any,
how, for Enzmann was never better.
This curly-haired youngster. who is
entitled to be ranked as the premier
twirler of the International League in
the opinions of many of the experts
around the circuit, was never better.
1t was an error by Ray Move which
threw the gate wide open for Roeh-
ester in the ninth inning. Otherwise
Enzmann would have a shut-out, as
things PANIED out.

EVERYTHING PERFECT At
OPENING CELEBRATION

An azure canopy flecked with white
clouds; natures tribute, decorations,
banners, flowers and music, furnished
by the Newark club; good humor, en-
thusiasm and constant cheering by
the loyal Tiger rooters and a victory
turned out by the Newark team
these were the things which conspired
to make the opening game of the In
ternational League season here yes
terday a glorious success. The game
in itself was a clean cut gem, set in a
background of emerald green (the
field and surrounded by tier upon
tier of effervescing humanity, fairly
bubbling over with the glee and the
happiness which only the heart of the
true baseball fan and fanness can
know on such momentous occasions
as these.
The march across the field, in which
both teams participate annually, is as
old as the hills. if not more ancient,
and yet every man. woman and
child enjoys the spectacle and
follows 1t as closely as though it
were all brand new and had never
been done before. The starry banner,
its crimson bars and brilliant blue
waving Enthusiastically to the breezes,
was tugged high to the top of the pole
by the combined efforts of the rival
managers-John Camel and Harry
Smith. Then, back again, the teams
parade to the plate. There two floral
pieces awaited the Tigers-one of
them was pennant from Harry
Smith, with the inscription, Cham
pions,' embroidered with all of the
florists skillful technique across the
flag. The other came from the Brook
Ign club, and was a huge floral horse
shoe of roses. Meantime the band
was doing it's best to make things en-
toyable for all present. Arthur
Weberbauer's composition, "OuT
Champions" was rendered by Vim
cents Band, as the team marched
across the field.
Then the team INDUCED in their

Hecl1inger ON the job.

Big Mike Heckinger worked as
smoothly behind the pan as an
Archer, and his throwing was equally
deadly. His little stunt of throwing
short to Getz and then picking Gus's
return out of the dirt and tagging
Barrows in the fourth inning cut OF
a run that would have meant much to
Rochester at that stage of the game.
Mike also kept the Hustlers from
running wild on the bases, while the
Tigers showed their speed on the
paths by engineering one double steal
that was a perfect exhibition of the
highest art of base running. Move,
on second and Tooley, on first, pulled
a double steal that stood Williams on
his head.

Lackawanna League Teams
to Play TwO-Game Series

1t was decided to play q two-game
series with teams instead of three as
was formerly announced, at the meet
ing of the Lackawanna Baseball
League, held in Maplewood last night
If the same enthusiasm prevails when
the two games series have been de-
cided. the mines will probably con-
tinue for another series.
The season Will get under way May
2, when Maplewood will be at home
with the American A. A., of East Or
ange, while the Millburn nine will
perform against the Summit Y. NJ. c.
A. team at Summit. Chatham and
Far Hills will not open until a week
or two later, as the grounds and
teams are not in shape as yet A
trophy has been offered by a New
York sporting goods house and will
be awarded the winners of the league.

fielding practise and every moment of
it was relished by the assembled
thousands. When at last the proper
moment for starting the game arrived
Mayor Haussling peeled off his top
coat, marched out to the centre of the
diamond, exchanged lids with Bert
Tooley, wound up gracefully and sent
one over the plate-that is, it was in
tended to go that way, but it went
wild. At this stage of the game, or
before the game eighty-tive hundred
fans We're roaring themselves hoarse
but not hors de combat.
The umpires took their positions be-
hind the bat and at first base-Messrs.
Finneran and Harrison, respectively
doing the same. The batteries were
announced. Hughes and Williams for
Rochester,: Enzmann and Hackinger
for Newark.
Then Johnny the jinx tanner, started
out on his task of defeating the vet
eran twirler of the Camel clan. How
well he succeeded is told in another
column.
A feature of the opening day game
was the unusually large number OF
feminine enthusiasts present. The
gay colored plumage-on their hats
their multicolored gowns and coats
lent an exquisite touch of color which
blended quite tremendously into the
picture. Once somebody tried to start
a cushion bombardment by throwing
the soft seats" around, but, on the
whole, the crowd was extremely or
derby.
Outside the park it was different.
A number of special policemen and
regulars We're kept busy driving away
the repeated onslaughts of numerous
lads in knickerbockers. who repeated
ly assailed the outerworks looking for
knotholes or a chance to sneak over,
under or through the fences The
truant officers had a busy day. But
even the truant officers-some OF
whom are fans-allow for opening day,
especially when the home team
wins

Enzmann Is Steady

Johnny Enzmann pitched the kind
of ball which proves his class as a
pitcher with nerve and cunning, as
well as pitching skill. On four differ
ent occasions the Hustlers had the
first man up in their inning reach the
initial sack in safety Now, this is
a big advantage for any team, but on
only one of these occasions could the
visitors do anything In the runget-
ting line. In the seventh, when Bar
rows opened with a double, Enzmann
got out of his worst hole. Barrows
was caught trying to go to third on
Priests tap to Tooley. Then Schultz
famed and Heckinger whipped the
bali to Tooley, catching Priest off
first base.

Camel Hard Loser.

John Camel registered his first
official kick against the umpires after
the contest. Jawn claimed in no I'M
certain terms that Fred Smith, the
Rochester outfielder, had held Col
lins's fly momentarily, and that he
dropped the ball as he fell his elbow
striking against the ground. Tommy
Mcmillan, captain of the Hustlers,
upheld his managers judgment, of
course, and Tom Hughes also de-
clared that he thought Collins should
have been out-that was quite natural.
As matter of fact, however, Bill
was entitled to two-bagger in the
Judgment of fair-minded fans, and
President Charles l. Chaplin de-
clared after the contest that Camel
was wrong in his contention that
Smith had caught the ball. What
). pore proof, then, that Bill was entl-
tied to a doubt? If Smith could not
hold the ball it certainly was not an
error
