less bitter. was the sorry portion OF the
/ limping Yankees on their final appearance
! for the season at American League Park
Yesterday afternoon. The tribe of Chase
locked horns with the Boston Red Sox and
were beaten by a score Of TO 4. Darkness
robbed the Yankees of a slim chance to
null the game out of the fire, for the Red
Sox were going none too we'll and Eddie
/ Cicotte. who pitched I'm brilliant form for
seven innings, during which time he limited
New York to two hits weakened under the
pace end allowed four runs to cross the
plate in the last two innings. When the

possible. but the mysterious delivery was
1 solved in easy style and the ten hits which
found their way atield were good for four

Cicotte safely only six times, but four OF
these were punched I'm the eighth inning
and drove over three runs The tally I'm the
seventh inning was the result of CLYDE

force play on Chase at second, on which
Dolan scored.
