Boston. July 1.-The New York Yankees
drew II at No. IS. After losing fourteen
consecutive games 10 Boston, Wolverton's
men turned, as even worm will do, and
won their first victory Of the season over
the Red Sox here this afternoon by a score
Of 9 10 T. Hitting the ball when hits meant
runs, combining their safetes with the mis-
plays Of the home team, and taking full
advantage Of the several opportunities
which presented themselves, the Yankees
simply would not down, and richly deserved
their long delayed victory
Russell Ford returned to the pitcher box
after a brief stay in left field. and while
he was battered around with no gentle
hand he was none the less effective at crit
ical points. He allowed thirteen hits, and
while the Red SoX insisted upon scoring in
six of the nine innings It was only in a
wild rally in the ninth that more than one
man crossed the plate. Not because Boston
did not hit hard. 4 double and two home
runs by Larry Gardner, triples by Jake"
Stahl and Hooper. with a home run by
Duffy Lewis. swelled the total Of bases to
q. but with the exception OF that ninth
inning the full good of the strong arm work
was lost.
The Yankees enjoyed three profitable in
nngs at the expense Of Hugh Bedient and
Pape. The former has been pitching good
ball so far. and ON more than one occasion
has caused considerable trouble TO the
New York men. He had little or nothing,
however, TO deceive to-day, and left under
the effect Of a spirited bombardment after
two innings, in which four hits produced
as many runs, Sweeney flashing 10 the
fore with a three-base hit with two men
on the bases. That second inning was
quite sufficient for Bedient. He knew
when he had enough, so in the third in
ming Pape decorated the landscape.
For two innings Pape was effective but
in the fifth he lost himself for d moment
and the fireworks continued. the Yankees
ceasing only after two more runs had
crossed the plate. Then they stopped their
scoring until the ninth inning, but evil
IDENTITY sensing what Boston was going 10
do, they pushed three more over the plate
and made victory sGre.
Fighting a losing fight with a persistency
that made the fair sized crowd sit up and
cheer, the Red Sox never owned defeat.
one after another, with unfalterlng tegu-
lauty, they forced runners over the rubber.
and the New York men We're unable TO
stop the procession, but II was only one
after another. and those single TALES were
not enough

base Sterrett, the Princeton captain, evil
IDENTIFY has found himself IN the big league.
Not content with playing first base with al
the ease and skill OF n veteran, he smashed
the ball on the nose twice I'm four times up.
There was a decided turn for the better
on the part Of the New York team as a
whole. Stump and Sweeney just had 10
chip in the traditional errors hut the men
were more alive 10 things than they have
been. Perhaps this was caused by the
fact that the 81. Louis Browns won a game
from the White SoX.
Chase Stump and Sterrett made neat
double play that cut of a couple OF runs
for the home team. Martin made some fine
plays az shortstop. and Knocked down
drive by Stahl tnat was billed for the
fence. while Hal Chase was AT his best a
second base.
