Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-05-23

The Newark baseball team comes
home tomorrow, and with the excep-
ton of series at Providence and
Baltimore, the Tigers will be with
US for a long time. During their trip
on the road, the team hasn't done so
we'll with nine defeats and four vic
tories, but when the Tigers get back
on their home grounds we will ex-
pect them to show to much better adj
vantage The team has not been
playing as poorly as its record on the
road would Indicate. 1t Is said that
the reason has been a case of bad
breaks" and not bad baseball. But
the Tigers will be with us tomorrow
and we should give them a big send
off They are the champions and as
such are entitled to support and at
tention. The ball team is there and
perhaps a little encouragement will
start the boys off on long winning
big reception.
With Baltimore and Gus Gleich-
man, the Irvington boy, here the
turnout should be the biggest of the
season. Baltimore, according to the
dope, is the team that Newark will
have to beat for the championship,
and it behooves the fans to get on
the job and give the Tigers their
loyal support. From Irvington will
come a couple of hundred friends of
Gleichman to cheer for their towns
man. but outside of that interest In
Gleichman the Irvington rooters are
sure to be for the home team. The
Newark fans pulled the Tigers home
victorious last year. but it looks as
if they will have to begin earlier
this season If they hope to meet with
the same success.

The Newark team of the Atlantic
League opened it's season at Wied-
Park yesterday afternoon.
The local team won, but the crowd
was poor, and DIR. Carlos Henriques,
the Cuban, who controls the club, and
who has many friends in this city,
can hardly hope to attract much at
tention. 1t seems to be an off year for
ba seball and only the very best clubs
are getting by The Cubans. who rep ,
resent our city, play excellent base
ball and they appear to be the strong
est team in the league.

There will be much interest in how
Champion Frank Kramer fares In
his match against tandem, manned |
by Fred Hill and Frank Cavanagh, |
at the Newark Velodrome tomorrow |
Over in Europe. Kramer |
beat a very clever tandem team In a
match, but that was on a different
kind OF track. Kramer says he can
do the trick at the Velodrome, and
he is not giving to making boastful
statements. If he does defeat the
Torrance, for Cavanagh and Hill are
a particularly speedy pair. Kramer
says he can come out from behind a
tandem and beat it to the tape, but
just how he does it he cannot ex-
plain. We will see tomorrow, per-
haps.

After Cavanagh's great show of
speed on Wednesday night, it was
thought that General Manager Mac
Farland would give Frank an oppor-
tunity to win more fame in a match !
race tomorrow. The Gave Man" 10
in the public eye now, and he is said
to be attending strictly to business.
and Grenda would have
made a most interesting match, but |
Grenda is down for one of those Cruel
ling three-cornered tandem-paced |
races, with Alfred Goullet and Joe |
Fogler as opponents. However, Cav
anagh should keep on training and |
will likely give him a |
match race for Wednesday night |
against Bob Spears, for instance. |
Later on, Cavanagh can be matched |!
with some of the other stars. He has
