TWENTY THOUSAND
SEE NEWARK FEDS
DEFEAT PACKERS
Popular Price Baseball
Proves Drawing Card
at Harrison Field.
~UMORE IN FAVOR
OF EXTENDING PLAN
Both Pitchers in Top Notch
Form, but Cullop Receives
Miserable Support.

That attendance at baseball games
would rise 70 record breaking figures
with the popular price movement insti-
tuted by the Newark Feds was mani
tested yesterday, when twenty thou
sand persons watched the Harrison
team win its second straight victory
over the Kansas City Packers. The
score was 3 to /.
A double-header was scheduled, but
rain, which fell Immediately after the
opening contest, caused cancellation
of the second game. The crowd was
only six thousand behind the opening
day figures. Nick Cullop, the Packer
southpaw, and Earl Moseley, Of the
Newark Feds, engaged in a pretty
pitchers battle, but Cullop's bad throw
and a misplay by Kenworthy helped
Newark to two of its runs.
James A. Gilmore watched the con-
test from a box. The size of the crowd
afforded much satisfaction to the
league president. He waxed exceeding
ly enthusiastic about the movement to
lower the baseball prices and declared
that he was in favor of extending the
innovation to the other clubs of the
league. CHANGING over the thousands
that packed the bleacher seats, Mr..
Gilmore asserted that so per cent Of
them were of the working class, which
could not afford TO pay high admission
fees.
Accompanied by several club owners,
Mr. Gilmore will start for Boston this
afternoon to inspect the new plant Of
the Boston Braves. Some of its archi-
tectural arrangements may be copied in
building the Federal League grounds in
this city next year.
The Packers made six hits off Nose
ley, three Of which came in the second
inning for their only tally. In this
frame Gilmore mot James A spoiled
an opportunity TO score more runs when
he was caught slumbering off second
base by Bill Rariden, the Newark
catcher The latter caught two other
Kansas City men trying to steal second,
while Moseley picked Kenworthy off first
base. Cullop pitched steady game,
Newark making only five hits, but was
miserably supported.
Campbell singled in opening the first
inning for Newark, and when Cullop
threw wildly in an endeavor TO nip him
off first Campbell went 70 second. Nc
Kechnie sacrificed, Cullop to Stovall,
while Esmond followed with triple,
scoring him. On Roush's crounder TO
Cullop Esmond scored. Kansas City
added a run in the third, when Shaw
and Kenworthy singled and Gilmore
doubled to left field. scoring Shaw. East
erly was passed, filling the bases, but
Moseley struck out Cullop. Gilmore
wandered too far off second, and Rari-
den caught him with . snappy throw.
The same Gilmore made possible the
third Newark run, when he foolshly
caught Sheer's long foul, on which
Roush sprinted home from second base.

HANK O'DAY BACK
ON HIS OLD JOB
President Tener ReappointS Hin,
as Umpire, and Puts Him
TO Work.

Chicago, Aug. g. Hank ODay, vet
eran umpire, to-day was reappointed 10
his old place by John X. Tener, presi-
dent of the National League. Mr.
Tener was in a box seat at the start
of the first game of the Brooklyn Chi
cage double-header. and when Quigley
took the field to officiate single handed
Mr.. Tener sent word to O'Day TO come
10 his box, where they conferred a few
minutes.
ODay then hurried away for his
umpiring regala, returning in the
fourth inning Of the initial game and
officiating as arbiter on bases. He re-
ceived a rousing welcome from the
fans, who applauded him for fully ter
minutes.
O'Day has had a varied career. He
was an oldtime pitcher, then an UNI
pire. In 1912 he became manager OF
the Cincinnati Reds, but was released
after one season. He was reappointed
by President Lynch TO the National
League umpiring staff in 1913, worked
as an umpire for one season and then
was made manager of the Chicago
Cubs. At the close of the 1914 season
he was released and has not been con-
nected with the game since. He is said
to have refused several offers from the
Federal League.
