YANKEES SAY G00DBY
Wind Up WITH VICTORY.
st. Louis Badly Beaten an T1co
Games of DOubIe-HeGder.

The Yankees wound up the season at American
League Park yesterday by winning two games of a
double-header from St. Louis, the first by score
OF TO and the second by a Of II to 4.
They left for Boston last night for two games with
the Red Sox. to-day and one on Monday, to
conclude the schedule Outside Of the fact that
the Yankees closed their hilltop grounds with
double victory, there little to arouse the en-
thusiasm of the shivering fans" Both games
were porly played errors of commission as well
as errors of omission particularly the part of
the visitors, having much TO do with the run get
ting There plenty of clean, hard hitting on
the part of the Yankees and this kept the faithful
amusal and entertained.
BY Ar the feature Of the first game was the
brilliant fielding of Birdie Cree. The dmunitive
outfelder raced all about his territory and snade
five pretty catches. two Of which were Of sensa-
tional order. Warhop, too, deserved much credit
he pitched a strong, steady game. holding the
visitors 10 seven hits, all of which were so scat
tered that forthcoming.
The Yankees fell on Kusel in the first inning and
piled up three four clean singles. They
added two more in the second inning on Sweeney's
safe drive and Cree's home run 10 the fence in
deep right field. This a handicap which ST.
Louis never made pretence of overcoming
The second game a slugging match, in which
the Yankees made fourteen hits and eleven runs In
six innings. They began with rush and scored
four in their first time at bat a two-bagger
by Demmit three-base hit by Chase, a free pass
to Engle and singles by Gardner and Knight.
After ST. Louis had tied the score in the third
inning, the home team added TWO more runs in
the fifth on safe hits by Knight and Blair COM
bined with two errors. and then made assurance
doubly by pilng up five more in the fifth,
when Gilligan was pounded all over the field.
The game was called after the visitors had failed
TO score in their half of the seventh inning. on
account of darkness
Griggs was almost knocked down and forced to
leave the game in the first inning, when the ball
took bad bound from Demmtt's hard drive and
him full in the face The doctor reported later
that he seriously injured.
