League Park. What made these things pos
sfble wis a double victory over the St Louis

Big Jim vaughn came back 20 the game.
after an absence Of nearly a month, ana
pitched sterling ball In the second contest
In both games the Yankees played fast
clean baseball. batting hard and taking ad-
vantage of every opening. The second game
was by far the better Of the two for II was
rep1ete with sensational fielding.
Vaughn was in fine fettle, and kept his
hits we'll scattered, but not much more so
than Barney Petty. who opposed him on
the mound.
Good fielding saved the ST. Louis twirler
In the lrst inning when. with one run IN
and the bases filed, with none out the
Yankees were retired without getting an
other man across the plate
In the sixth, when all the bases were oc-
cupied again, Petty took up the burden or
disposing of the side himself, struck out
two men and forced the third to roll out
weak grounder to the infleld. Vaughn was
in difficulties only once, and that was IN
the sixth inning, when an error by hnisnt'
a stolen base and kit allowed the Bro"hs
to score their only run.
Although the first game did not come up
to the second il was every bit as GOOD
struggle. and Ray Fisher. who did the
pitching for tie Yankees after Jack Quinn
had retired in the first inning, did even
trife better than did Vaughn.
There was air of general hstlesshess
about both teams, relieved, however oy
few sharp disputes with the umpires, Per
rine and Doc Kennedy.

third out.
When Daniels's turn came around in the
second inning he again stopped one of
Pelty's balls with his body and walked to
first but there were two out and 1T was
productive of nothing.
The sixth inning was one full of good
fielding. Daniels made two wonderful stops
in his territory. In the same inning Stone
pulled down one-handed a long hard drive
by Austin that looked good for at least
two bases. Laporte emulated Stone in the
first part of the seventh by getting in his
bare hand long line drive ty Stone well

Daniels opened the seventh for the home

three bases. A sacrifice fly by Chase
