FATEAB|G.FACTOR
IN NATIONAL GAME
Schultz, Who Might Have Been
a Tiger, Caused Bengals'
Defeat.
special to the Evening Star.


ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Fate
plays an important role in every base
ball contest and rules with unseen
hand the destinies of every baseball
team. Last spring when the Tigers
were boiling out at Columbus, Ca,
Manager Harry Smith had the choice
of two players-one of them was Joe
Schultz, the other Bill Collins. Smith
chose Schultz, but the Boston club re-
fused to let him go to any minor
league club but Rochester. Suisse
quently it was decided that 1t would
be best to take Collins in preference
to getting no one at all. Smith real
lied what a good hitter Schultz was.
Bill Collins is now warming the bench
for the Buffeds, and Schultz-well,
YOU saw what he did yesterday.
His three-sack wallop with three
on the cushions just about spelled de-
feat for Sherrod Smith, as the trio of
runs resulting from that one blow
were as many as the Tigers got IN
the whole game OF course, Schultz
does not do that every day, but he
is one of the most consistent hitters
in the league and that in spite OF
the fact that he is playing difficult
position, third base, which Is foreign
to him.
Johnny Enzmann says that Schultz
was about the most troublesome bats
man he ever faced in this league,
though he rated Jack Dalton a bet.
fer hitter. Schultz is almost certain
to revert back to the Boston Ma
tionals, for he has surely stood the
test and played great ball in spite OF
the handicap of a broken leg, which
has scarcely had time to knit prop
erly.
Triples slashed out by Kraft, Gala
han and Writer and w. Zimmerman
would have been homers on the New
ark grounds. Bobby Keefe was a
lucky chap. 1t is seldom that he is
pounded as hard as the Tigers mauled
his delivery yesterday.
The Tigers drilled the pill for keeps.
Even Sherrod Smith hammered out a
double. He was caught trying to
stretch it into a triple. Billy Zim-
norman expired at the plate in an
effort to make his three Dagger good
for the circuit.
All Mattern is due to twirl for New
ark today.
Gus Getz generally makes up for 1t
when he boots one. but he did not
have the comeback punch yesterday.
His error let in two of the Hustlers'
runs.
The Tigers used poor Judgment on
the bases
The Tigers have discarded the sacri-
flee play this season and there are
times when its absence is noticeable.
Not a Bengal player sacrificed yes
terday.
Keefe had the better of the strike
outs-4 TO 8. Smith issued four
passes to Keefe's one.

Midnight baseball, started just be-
fore sunset in Alaska and winding up
after sunrise-a span of some twenty
minutes or more-was played recently
at Fairbanks, Alaska. The following
from the Fairbanks Daily News
shows how unique and interesting
such a contest must be: "A large and
enthusiastic crowd, half of which
was composed of the members of the
fair sex, was present at Exposition
Park last night to witness the mid
night ball game opening the annual
Festival of the Midnight Sun (June
Pr. The sun sank out of sight be-
hind the northern hills, but there was
SO little change in the light that only
n sNortherner' could tell when 1T
began to get daylight again 1t was
darkest-if such word could be used
right after the opening of the big
game at II 10 Very few innings had
been played, however, when the
morning sun was seen striking the
high peaks of the Alaskan range a
hundred miles south. The Van Dycks
for the third time defeated the Mar
quettes."

and knocking out his own catcher
with a wild pitch, which hit McAvoy
In the neck, was the remarkable rec
ord made by Pitcher Davidson, of the
Baltimore club, yesterday. He was
pitching in an International League
game against Buffalo at the Bison
park. Buffalo scribeS say Davidson's
work sets up worlds record. Buff
falo got only three hits and eight of
the batters famed. The Herd was
satisfied to wait out the Oriole twirler.
Foufteen of their number died on the
hassocks.
Old Matty Mcintyre poled one for
a home run at Toronto yesterday.
Matty was not the only pebble on the
beach, however for Tutwiler also
drilled one for four bags.

one for the circuit, too, in the same
game. The Toronto grounds holds all

and others, too.
Another home run-maker was Jack
Flynn, of the Montreal club.
Manager Dan Howley showed his
mates how by smuggling for three safe
ties.
Murray and Barrows fiourished
their war clubs with telling effect at
Buffalo. The pair had six hits evenly
divided. Though the Orioles made
thirteen hits to the Bisons' three, the
flock lost because of Davidson's Wild
ness. Fulenwider was hit four times
as hard as Davidson, but he issued
one pass to Davidson's twenty.
