YANKEES BUMPED AGAIN
ATHLETICS BEAT THEN
TWICE MORE.
Hot Finish Marka Second Game,
Though Home Team Vas Out
cIassed IN Morning Contest.

The Yankees dropped another pair of games 10
sha fixing Philadelphia Athletics at American
League Park yesterday, playing Ike lot OF bush
leaEuers when they lost the morning game by
score OF 10 . and doing good deal better. IN
some ways to lose he afternoon game by score
of to 3 one Of the big crowds Of the season at
the hilltop grounds was out for the second game
but II was not a holiday crowd by many thousands
strong rally in the ninth inning OF the secoAu
affair had the assembage on It's 1eel Win eASl'e
rrent but the struggling locals feil a run short
though they got two men home hleinoW mao q
chance TO drive in the ueing run but struck out
with Austin third base
The morning game was ? murderous anaI' 80
far as the Yankees were concerned They never
did have q chance. and played as badly as any
team in New York has done this season But the
scrap Of the afternoon was q real game uncertain
10 the end with ali the pitching honors going to
the fardy Joe Doyle and all the breaks Of luck TO
Bender and the Athletics Home runs figured IN
the scoring for both sides, Oldring and Austin
earning various articles Of clothing in that manner
but Austin made his with the bases empty while
Oldrang sent q in ahead Of him.
Doyle let the Athletics make only three hits, IN
Guiding Oldring's long smash, but base on baIls
came right ahead Of the homer, and two more hits
were mixed up with another base on balls to pro
duce the second pair of runs in the seventh inning.
The crowd while 4 pretty big. was not what
the holiday should have brought forth, and not as
big by anv means the ones that packed the
grounds on Saturdays Just after the first Western
sri,. when the nine playing much better bali.
Possibly the comparatively cool weather had some
Thing do with the attendance, and. moreover
crowds have been discouraged At American League
Park by the miserable subway elevator service ana
the iDsdeouacv Of the stands. Frank Farrell can
make money by increasing his seating accomno-
dafions il the plays any kind Of ball at all
Some one said that the suffragettes were selling
pencils and other things in the crowd. but they
didn't circulate much If they Were, and the crowd
IN the covered stand great that going around
TO look for them vas out OF the question
Fiar5seI sot TO third a base on balls, a sacrl-
f5ee sad = long fly in the second inning, but was
held ihere when Austin made rattling good stop
4nd throw Of hot srounder by Barry that looked
like a safe hit. in the same inning a double play
Of smooth merit cat of the Yankees when uley
locked dangerous Engle beat oct an infeid single
snd DeInn1itt tried 10 sacrifice He laid down a
pretty bunt to third but Baker got 1t up well and
made & fast throw 10 Collins 10 get Engle- That
was a good play IN itself, but the double play py
Barry Collins and Davis that followed on swift
punch by Laporte was wonder Both runners
rere out by dozen feet.
Thomas walked in the next inning and Cree took
care Of Bender's ny. Young Mr.. oldring was ready,
however and sent Thomas ahead Of him with a
smashing drive 10 right that bounced over Dem
Iritt's head and hit the fence for a home run
The Yankees got the worst Of it from the UNI
pre. one KERN, IN the next inning Cree looked
safe by yard Oh a grounder TO deep short but
KERN called him out As EIberfeld followed Win
d single, this made good deal Of difference Barry
made a good catch Cflases foul and Elberfeld
stole second and third, only to have Engle strike
out.
Austin broke the ice for the Yankees with
ss:nz liner over second that went TO the fence
:n 5a nth inning Jimmy fairly loafing around the
},aseA or a home run TWO were out at the time
Baker laced cut vicious drive to right in the
seventh inning and was held at second on a fine
SION by Demmitt. going TO third on a wild pitch.
Barry walked. and he and Baker both scored when
Bender doubled 10 centre
Chase singled the ninth inning and stole
second lie had go back. however, for Engle
Etuuidly struck at the bail when Chase near
the bag and fouled il Of. Even If it was hit and
run play Engle should have waited. for Chase was
sure to be safe I5ngle struck out, too, but Dem
rnitt singled. The bases filed when Austin
walked. and Hemphil, batting for Sweeney, sent
Chase and DeuaTn!tt home with d Texas leaguer 10
LETT Kleinow barted FOR Doyle and struck out
Eddie Plank puzzled the Yankees sadly in the
morning game while Lake. who pitched one in
ming, and BrocketJ were both easy for the ath-
lstics. The Athletics started with three IN
the first inning. collected another trio in the third
and played the game safe the rest Of the time,
which was easy Ia view OF Planks hne work in
the box.
The whole New York team seemed to have a case
Of stage fright. and Stallngs rearranged his infed
TO the extent Of replacing knight with Laporte for
the second game Lapcrte played well and Will
probably regain his place permanently If he
cover his batting eye.
