YANKEES GAIN NOTHING
Lose Nothing, However, on Even
Break with Boston.
FORD WINS FIRST GAME
Red Sox Take Revenge in the
Second, with Wood in
the Box.

Boston, Sept lot was a case OF lose
nothing, gain nothing, with the New 1oi
Yankees and the Boston Red Sox here TO-
day. for at the end of the afternoon
double battle the clubs we're in the same
relative positions as when they started
The Yankees fairly cleaned things up III
the first contest. swinging their bats 10
good effect. and scoring 6 runs to Boston
g. In the ensuing contest, however, the
ia ables were turned. for although the Speed
Bows were not quite so obstreperous as the
yanks had been, still they were sufficiently
wrought up in that direction to beat the
visitors by the score of to 3.
It might be said that the first game was
too much Ford" for the home players as,
try as they would, they found it Impossible
to hit the New York twirler when there
were men on bases and when, to use
time worn expression, hit would nave
meant a run. 1t made little difference 10
the Yankees however, just what conditions
they were laboring under, for they hit
without regard, and pounded to the four
corners Of the compass the best that three
pitchers. Cicotte, Smith and Collins, had to
offer.
Not so in the second battle, however. for
Woods was more than enough for the Ne"
Workers., although at times 1t looked as
if the rampagings of the first game were
likely to break loose at any time. QUINN
was on the firing line for the Yankees, put
his pitching was taken TO most kindly oy
the Speed boys, who went in heavily. scor-
ing a run in each of the first five innings
True, Jack knight, with his unexplainable
fumbling, was somewhat to blame for this
aggressiveness in the scoring line on the
part OF the Red Sox, but then again much
of the blame has to be placed at Quinn
door Ray Caldwell, one of Stallings
latest recruits, went in after Quinn had re-
tired, and performed credita bly,, holding
the home team runless in the last three
innings despite the fact that he was a
trif1e wild
For four innings in the first contest the
Yankees just stalled along, hitting the ball
hard but neglecting the important func-
ton of putting men across the plate. After
having convinced everybody that their bats
were utensils and not ornaments, the visit
ors began to liven things up in the fifth,
and succe eded in doing to the tune of
three runs
Austin walked after Cree had whitfield and
then Sweeney sacrificed him along to sec
ond. Ford, quite unexpectedly, ripped a
hit to right field, scoring Austin, and on
Daniels's double a moment later he him
self scampered home. Daniels was intent
on stealing third, and he did, drawing a
bad throw from Madden to catch him. the
same bad throw making it possible for him
to score.
Knight helped Boston to run in the
same inning, but he also helped the
Yankees to one in the eighth. subsequent

Sweeney made the run in the seventh on a
free pass, bunt by Ford and wild
throw To catch up with Knight again
after the beginning of the eighth, it would
be necessary to follow him around the
bags when he smashed the ball into the
left field bleachers for a home run. The
crowd had just settled itself in its seats
when Earl Gardner duplicated Knights
drive and helped the Yankees to another
run Jake Stahl did the same thing when
he came to bat for the Red SoX.
Wolter was a demon with the bat in the
second game. getting three hits in as many
times up, but for all that the Yankees
didn't win. In the first inning he got an
infield hit. and Chase was safe a moment
later on an error, but neither scored. 1t
was not until the third that the visitors
were able 10 get man across, and by that
time Boston had two-run lead. WOlter
got his second hit in that inning after two
were out, stole second, and came through
on Chase's single. Cree'S three-base drive
in the fourth, followed by Austins sacrifice
fly gave the Yankees another run, but Bos-
ton still had a two-run margin at the end
of the inning and in the next frame added
another.
Caldwell was decided Improvement over
QUINN although he was Enthusiastically un-
steady in his first inning the mound. and
nearly spilled the milk little more, How
ever he got through safely, and held the
seventh the Yankees scored for the last
time. After two were out Wagner funbled
Danies's smash and the Yankee fielder
was safe He stole second and went on 10
third on Kleinows high throw. Wolters
trusty bludgeon was good for triple this
time when applied to the ball. and Daniels
had no trouble in walking from third to the
plate.
That ended the fray so far as scoring was
concerned, although Stallings made a brave
attempt TO pull the game out of the fire in
the ninth by showing in Hemphill and La
! porte pinch hitters but to no effect.
The score follows:
FIRST GAME.
NEW YORK. BOSTON.
