NeWark Surprised
By Red Birds

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 80.
Newark fans aWoke with a jar
today to the realization that the
local International League ball
club is going to have a mighty
tough time beating the Columbus
Red Birds, their American Asso-
citation opponents in the Little
World Series.
Since the Bears had won their
last ten games in the regular sea-
son and in the play-offs, their S to
4 defeat by Columbus in the series
opener yesterday came as a dis
tince shock to the local citizenry.
The second game will be played
tonight.
Touted as the greatest club in
the minors, the Bears were guilty
of shoddy fielding and poor base
running in the opener. Joe Geggs,
Newark mound ace, was Shelled
off the mound in the seventh when
Columbus scored four runs. Nelson
Potter, who had relieved Johnny
Chambers on the mound for
Columbus, contributed a single
that drove in two runs during this
rally.
The series is to be decided on a
four-out-of-Seven basis. Outcome
of the opener made it certain that
at least two games will be played
in Columbus when the teams move
west after tomorrow nights game.

RED ANDERSON
SHOWS ABILITY

RED" Anderson, the big right
handed pitcher of the Griffs, stood
out in the double defeat of his
team yesterday. He increased his
prestige no little among those
who eagerly search the youngsters
now parading for signs of true
ability. Anderson stepped into
the game against the Red Sox yes
terday after Pete Appleton had
been knocked into a cooked hat
and went seven fast innings.
He was wild, which is not sur
prising. and he gave seven bases
on balls. Pitching in games will
correct that. He allowed only
five hits, and when he got the
leather over the plate the Sox did
little with it.
The last time Anderson pitched
he had a bush league catcher be-
hind the plate. This time he had
Walt Miles, who handled him in
fine style. Big Red looks as if he
might make the grade with some
thing to spare if he gets the breaks
that any promising youngster
may expect in the Orlando train
ing camp next spring.
While the GriffS were taking a
double lacing by scores of 3 to l
and 7 to 4, Buddy Lewis passed
the 200 hit mark. He got one blow
in the first game and two more in
the second.
