YANKEES STRIKE A SNAG|
Two Youthful Pitchers Stand in
Breach for Maps.
PROVE PUZZLE TO NEW YORK
T.aioie Leads His Team in
Batting with Four Sting
ing Drives.

TFo -outhful recruits from Mcclure s
pitching staff put 2 beautiful crimp in the
fine hitting streak Of the Yankees at
American League Park yesterday after
Ueou. and Cleveland won its first game on
local grounds this year by a score Of to .
Ioesrner. the first t1irler on the mound
for the Maps, looks a bout eighteen years
old. but showed that he carried 2 mature
head or his shoulders. For FIVE innings he
held New York down to three scattered
hits. When 4 single and 2 hit batsman put
TWO men on the bags at the opening OF the
sixth. Mcclure decided not 10 take any
chances and called the vounester to the
bench sending out Harkness. another youth.
The latter pulled ont Of the hole in fine
style and put the Yankees out practically
in order for the rest of the game, allowing
only one ht in the four innings he pitched.
While the two twirlers must receive due
oUedit. nevertheless almost any pitcher
could win with the hitting combination
which the Maps presented. StaIIings start
&c one Of his finds in the box-Fisher
from Middlebury College, Vermont-but the
boy from the marble Quarries was up
against s1iT proposition. Although he
allowed only five hits. yet they were sand
viched in with a few passes and errors at
critical times. and The Maps managed to
tally four runs. He retired in favor OF
Eemphill a pinch hitter in the fifth, and
Hughes took UP the burden OF finishing out
the game.
Tom was less effective than Fisher.
Eight hits. punched where they could do
Jhe most good. were cuIled off his delivery.
These netted five more runs. Larry Lajoie
showed no inclination TO let his batting
average slump and raped out three
singles and q double out of four times at
bat. Lord. Turner and Easterly followed
the lead Of the great Napoleon and COL
lected two hits apiece while the remainder
Of the thirteen for the game were sprinkled
here and there TO the credit Of the other
players.
Niles worked Fisher for q pass at the
opening Of the game and stole second.
Lord advanced him with sacrifice and
Turner walked. Things were shaped up
nicely for Napoleon Bajoie when he came
