ing game at American League Park yester-
day by a score of to 2. After Chase had
singled and Moriarity was fieded out in the last
half of the seventh inning the game
stopped by the heavy rain squall which swept
across the Hudson
There was not a dull moment during the
struggle, and the clever base running of the
home men helped materially jim the Yankees
victory.
Hoffman was loudly cheered for fine
ming catch of Flicks long fly that looked good
for a three bagger in the third inning. He also
did the best batting. making three hits, all of
which figured in the scoring
Hughes pitched a good game for the Yankees,
with the exception of the first inning when he
showed Some wildness by hitting Bradley and
Turner a tumble by Moriarity and an out of
a fly allowed Bradley to tally The visitors
lead was not long lived, for in their half of this
inning the New York team succeeded in tieing
the score. Hoffman singled and got TO second
on a weird throw by Turner Elberfed was
hit by a pitched ball, and went to first Chase
sent out a safe bunt. Moriarity forced Chase.
but on the play Hoffman scored.
In the fifth inning the Yankees made two
runs which gave them the game. Hoffman
singled and on a lively sprint got to second on
Elberfeld's short safe hit. On a sacrifice by
Chase both men advanced. and then Morarity
redeemed himself for his error by sending out
timely single. which allowed Hoffman and Ell
berfeld to cross the plate.
Doubles by Lajoie and Hinchman gave the
Maps" their second run in the sixth inning. while
