Base Ball Games of the Week
NEW PITCHER WINS FIRST GAME
New Pitcher Makes Good


Elk Mills seems to be the only
team that Newark has been able
to beat with any consistency and
the locals took another game Mon
day afternoon from Kay's crowd
by the score of 3 to 0. It was a
pretty ball game and was played
before the largest crowd of the
season. Reynolds, the new pitch
er, was given trial and more
than made good. He let Elk Mills
down with seven hits and no runs.
Reynolds worked the corners on
the visitors and at that had almost
perfect control as he did not walk
a man but hit one in the last inn
ing. Verecker also pitched clever
ball for Elk Mills but Newark
punched three hits wit han error
on him in the fifth inning when
the three runs were scored.
Reynolds not only pitched good
ball but also fielded his position
in fine shape and helped with
Newark's runs by a single. The
big Baltimore boy was in serious
trouble in but two innings, the first
and the ninth. In the first inning
Reynolds led off with a hit back of
short. When Wilson dumped the
ball Reynolds got it to second in
plenty of time to get Reynolds but
the ball got away from SchmickeI.
c. Reynolds also attempted to sac
rifice but Reynolds got the ball to
third ahead of w. Reynolds. When
Wilson attempted to steal third
Lucy got the ball to that base so
far ahead of the runner that he
was caught between the bases.
Thomas famed ending the inning.
Elk Mills failed to get more than
one man to first in any inning
again until the ninth. Reynolds
was especially clever catching run
ners mapping off first and after he
caught two that way others who
reached the initial bag were afraid
to take a chance. In the ninth w.
Reynolds lead off with a two bag
ger it being his third hit of the
game but he was caught trying to
stretch it to three bases. Wilson
was thrown out at first. C. Rey-
nolds was hit with a pitched ball
and Thomas singled but Billy"
Jackson threw Verecker out at the
first ending the game.
Lucy who caught in Saturdays
game against Traction Company
in Wilmington, wa sagain back Of
the bat and did fine work. He
proved a hard worker, a good
thrower and also a fair sticker.
Nwark had men on the bases in
nearly every inning of the game
but Verecker always tightened up
except in the fifth. In this inning
Lucy lead off with single and
Reynolds after trying to dump the
ball also singled to right, Lucy
taking third. Reynolds stole sec
ond and both runners scored on
Schmickel's double. The latter
stole third and scored on C. Rey-
nolds error.
The fielding feature of the game
was a one hand catch by Grant in
centre field of ball hit by Lucy.
Grant at first n1isjudged the ball
but then went back and got it with
his bare hand. Rankin played a
nice game in right and at the bat
and Jackson covered his usual
amount of large territory around
short without a blunder. The
score:

(By Hal Sheridan.)

What is going on under Connie
Mack's derby is the problem that has
every follower of the horsehide pill,
possibly with the single exception
of Mack himself, sorely puzzled.
Reams of stuff were batted about
the infield of dope when Connie drop
ped Eddie Collins to the delight OF
one Charley Comiskey. The Collins
sensation came along as fine young
climax to the upset in the Athletic's;
pitching corps.
Now Mack has 'em guessing again.
Having once posed as the friend of
the young and ambitious in baseball,
he side-tracked the practice of grab
bling promising youngsters by taking
a clutch on Nap Lajoie, about the
time the word was going the rounds
that the once great Napoleon was
about to pass into obscurity.
Balloon remembered that Larry
really did his limelight burst when
he jumped from the Philadelphia Ma
tionals to Mack's team in 1901 and
then swung to Cleveland. 1t was
figured that this latest move was a
sort of pension scheme for Lajoie
with a job of coaching a few more
youngsters Mack is expected to dig
from the bush league haunts.
But Mr.. McGillicuddy killed that
yarn. Thirteen years of service
with Cleveland may have worn the
edge of Napoleon, Mack admitted.
but there is considerable solid base
ball man left. Instead of rusting on
the benches Lajoie will amble up to
the bat when the 1915 season blows
open, says Mack.
The Collins-Laj0ie double-climax
was too much for the sharks. 1t left
them faint. Nothing more that can
come out of the camp of the ex-
worlds champions will create much
of the stir. Nobody knows how far
Connie Mack will go. No matter
how far it is, no body-hereafter-
will express much surprise.
