JOE CRISPS TRIPLE And MUELLERS HIT in THIRTEENTH DEFEAT
THE YANKEE CREW In A THRILLING EXTRA SESSION GAME

hits while on the slab, all of
the bingles being well scattered.
The Yankees got away to a good start
and were going along swimmingly until
the fifth round. when Tige scored his
first run. Manager McGinnity started
the game on the mound and Hemphill,
n of the best batsmen in the Ban
johnson organization. faced him in the
opener: Hemp" batted one that both
Jimmy and the Iron Man went after
with h result that neither got 1t and
the "Yank" outielder was credited with
a hit. Wolter was once a twirler who
was picked from the Red Sox, but has
been given a regular berth at Willie
Keeler's old station because of his ten
dency to break fences followed. His
effort got as far as Ganley and he sat
down. Chase landed on the first twist
served up to him for a line drive to left,
but Cree forced Hemphill at the plate
on a rap to Ag1er. Earl Gardener ended
the inning by giving Captain Schlafy
a fly.
1t fell to the lot of Shortstop Foster,
the ex-Skeeter. who looks pretty good
In a New York uniform, to bring in the
first tally for the Yanks. The ''wee"
boy tapped n of McGinnity's shoots
on the nose with such force that it
sailed far over Ganley's head and the
shortf1elder got a three-bagger. The
Newark manager put on some steam
and made Austin pop to Zimmerman,
but Sweeney lifted one skyward in
Gettman's direction and Foster tailed.
Hughes, the former Tiger. who began
the game for the Yanks, ended the in
ming by arching to Meyer.
1t was in the fourth stanza that the
last Highlander saw the plate. Foster
had hoisted to Gettman when Austin

round and Foster was walked. He was
caught stealing, however, and Austin

After three Yanks had walked the
plank in the eleventh Zimmerman
brought the crowd 10 their feet with a
terrific swat to left for three perches,
and some of the fans started to leave
the grounds. He was caught at the
plate, however, when he attempted to

Mueller was improving all the time
and struck out Cree and Foster and

Benny Meyer surely did wallop the
pill in the third when he laced it
against the top of the left field fence.
All hands thought it was over until
they heard 1t smack the boards.
Joe Crisp was the whole show. A

pegging to sacks was a synopsis of

it and Austin tailed the New Workers.

1t was at this juncture of the game
that the Tigers scored their first run.
Crisp set the pace with a base on balls.
The Iron Man decided that it was
time for him to retire and gave Kelly
the signal. Jack took the kinks out
of his shoulders by swinging two bats
and then proceeded to lake the KIM
out of y of Hughes's curves for a
solid two+bagger that more than made
him solid with h crowd, Crisp breez-
ing in over the platter. Kelly was a
hero and his hit was one of the old
time variety, a liner to left that made
the fence shiver. HemphiIl made an
error on Meyers fly. Benny was forced
out by Ganley. The inning ended
without any further scoring.
Crisp tied the score In the seventh
much to the elation Of the fans. The
backstop peppered one of Frills port
side shoots for a double, and he scored
when Meyer hit one down the third
base line. Austin picked 1t up and

McGinnity Pitches Five Innings
and Yanks Make All Their
Runs Off Him.
WK ANAGER STALLINGS and his

WK ANAGER STALLINGS and his
New York Americans took a
trip to Newark yesterday for a
Tiger hunt, but they were disappointed
and went home empty handed when
Manager McGinnity's Bengals, after
leading the New Workers on a merry
chase for thirteen innings, bagged the
only game in sight by a 30 score. 1t
was one of the most sensational games
ever seen at the local lair. The local
Eastern Leaguers came from behind
with the score 20 against them n
batted out a victory in the thirteenth
inning.
Manager Stallings's fire-eaters were
fighting for the game every inch of the
way. Even Lou Criger, the staid old
veteran of a thousand and one battles,
registered a kick on a de-
cision at second on which Kid Foster
was declared out. The decision was
questionable and Umpire McTague gave
Schlafly, the Tiger second-sacker, who
made a lunge at Foster as he slid into
the bag, the benefit of the doubt. Criger,
who had previously batted for Hughes
and secured a hit, was coaching in the
eighth inning. He came in to object
from the third base coacher's box and
made a pass at the umpire. A police
man promptly appeared and ushered
Criger from the park. Later on Sweeney
objected ~strenuously to a called ball
while Frill was pitching. and would
have been ousted from the game, as
his claim was really, on this occasion,
ridiculous. Manager Stallings had no
other catcher on hand. however. ana
Sweeney was allowed to continue.
Kid Mueller, the Egg Harbor phenom,
was the whole show for the Tigers. He
had the "Hoot Mon Ladies'" from
Gotham guessing for the eight innings
in which he twirled besides rapping out
the hit that brought in Mr.. Crisp, who
had previously tripled to the score
board in the H~ighlanders' fatal
thirteenth. The kid was in great
shape and allowed but three

But Champion Captures the
MiIe-DrObach Wins Match
with Anderson.

nADDY o'sULLIvAN HEHIR,
the speedy cyclist from
- "Kangarooland," was the gent
who made things interesting for
National Champion Frank Kra-
mer, and the bike fans who
turned out to see the card Manager
Chapman had arranged for yesterday
at the Velodrome. 1t was Hehir's VIC
tory over Kramer in the half-mile that
made him a hero, but his triumph was
shortlived, for big Frank got back at
him in the mile open. Both of the races
resulted in sensational finishes. Hehir's
stock as a result of his victory over
Kramer and the tussle with him, in
which he forced the Champ" to extend
himself to the limit, took a big jump.
The half-mile was the better of the
two races. Kramer started on the
honor mark with Hehir twenty yards
in advance. Menus Bedell a the
greatest handicap, starting from the
sixty-yard mark. The riders started
off in whirlwind fashion, Kramer
catching the field after the riders had
circled the track once. He took up a
position behind Stein, forcing the lat
ter to set a fast pace. Hehir tackled
on to Kramer's rear wheel. At the bell
Kramer and Hehir shot to the front
with the Australian marvel In the lead.
AS they rounded the turn leading into
the home stretch Kramer made his
burst Of speed, but Hehir had the
jump on him and took h race by the
smallest possible margin. Iver Lawson,
having failed to qualify in his heat,
West and Hill fought it out for third
place. Hill taking the third place
after a pretty battle.
In the mile open Kramer's friends
rooted for him to avenge his defeat
and Kramer vas in the race to win
from the start. The field completed
the first half-mile with Kramer setting
the pace and the other riders trailing
in the following order: IAwrencek Hul
