the fact that he was one of the gang

FriII a Puzzle to Boston, and
Chase Makes Home Run.

Boston, May Sin a game marked by
terrific hitting the New York Yankees
waIloped the Boston Red Sox this afternoon
and shut them out by a score Of Il to 0.
Donovan used up three pitchers In an effort
TO stem the tide, hut all Of them failed
signally. The Yankees ran up a total of
eleven safeties and made every hit count
for run. In the mean time Jack Frfll
was pitching the game of his life for New
York. holding the Red Sox 10 TWO singles of
the scratchiest variety.
Wolter in one way carried of the hitting
honors of the day with three singles in
four times at bat, but Hal Chase was the
real hero With q slashing drive IN the
sixth inning which he stretched into home
run by fast sprinting and a daring slide to
the plate.
pass, five singles and two errors netted
the Yankees five runs in the third inning
Chase's home run accounted for three more
in the sixth. Three more were added in the
ninth on the strength OF two singles, pass
and numerous errors
Frill pitched a wonderful game, striking
out six men and not giving a single base
on balls. The Red Sox went out in order
in every inning except three, and they got
only one man 10 third base.
The scora follows.
