Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-04-16

has been said that the Rochester
Hustlers displayed great gameness in
the Newark Tigers We're attacked
with cold feet. That was not the
case. Rochester. with nothing to lose
and everything to win, played des-
perately, and Newark, with every
thing to lose, was naturally a little
more on her mettle. The Hustlers'
mistakes We're overlooked and forgot
ten. while every false move made by
the Tigers was chalked up in bold re-
lief against them. We have given
Rochester credit for her great finish,
but we still maintain that Newark
was game and won on her merits.
g
Rochester, we must admit, is
blessed with a great manager in John
Camel. He is the highest priced
leader in the league and he is worth
every cent he receives. In Charles T.
Chaplin, his boss, Camel has man
who will spend the dough when the
chance Is worth while, and his mana
ger has steered him well so far.
Camel has been able to secure play
ers that have made good on his team,
and he has won three pennants for
the Flower City. His team has been
rified this year by the Federal League,
haf no is a
sufficient emergency to fill up the
gaps.
So opening day, with Rochester
here, ought to be big time The
Tigers will be ready for the Hustlers
and the fans will be anxious to see
the game The attendance at the
opener promises to be very large, al
though the baseball season as a
whole is being viewed through dark
goggles. The war is going to hurt
some and the money market is not
overtiush.
Baltimore, just as everybody said
who knew anything about the situa-
ton. has accepted the Feds as her
favorite sons and she is going to
give them her best support. The
crowd that turned out at the opening
game of the OUTLAWS" in the Monu
mental City was the largest in the
history of the town. The Terrapins.
as the Feds are called in Baltimore,
have caught the public heart and
they will get the bulk of the support.
be the strongest for the Federal
League. The good people down there
have been crying for big league base
ball for years and when given even
a semblance of the major league
variety of baseball, they rushed to
give it their stamp of approval. The
enthusiasm there is great for the
OUTLAWS and 1t will last il the
league is properly conducted.
G
Baseball has reached the courts in
earnest, and in the end both sides
will suffer Suits and counter suits
are in the air. and the players are
enjoying the troubles of the mag
mates. AS the season goes on there
will be more law, and baseball will
have a hard time holding up her end.
The players-and they know just
where they stand in regard TO con-
Nd
rattle off their services. To the high
est bidders will go the stars of the
diamond, and there will be contract
jumpers galore.
G
Jack johnson, champion fighter,
must be getting tired of Paris and all
her frills, for he has declared that
he viii come back to America after
his bout with Frank Moran and place
himself at the disposition of the
of boxing IL he does come over here
is not easy to imagine. The big
Black is lin bad almost every
where within Uncle Sans confines,
the u. S. A. that would stand for q
boxing match with Johnson as one
of the principals. Even in the for
eign countries he has made himself
Objectionable. and he finds himself
in court much of the time. As to his
fight with Moran, Johnson has moth
ing to fear If ne is anything like
himself, and il he is out to win. He
may not be in the best of shape when
the fight comes off, but he is SO proud
that it is doubtful whether he could
! be fixed. However, the bout is being
viewed with suspicion, and the Yam
kee sports are giving it the 30 o.
with no thought of going to see it.
@
Much noise is being made in Los
/ Angeles over the matching of Ad
Wolgast and Joe Rivers. Wolgast is
all right, and he is showing excellent
form for an ex-champion. Rivers
though. has been dad boy" His
| fights in the East against Leach
Cross were great, but some of the
wisest men in the West say that he
won't take the gaff The fight will
take place on May % and Wolgast is
! the favorite.
