, OdUle,
The Yankees returned 10 the old planta-
ton yesterday afternoon with a surprise
in store for the palpitaunS populace. In
stead of losing in the regulation nine inn
ings. according 10 their well established
custom. they extended their operations
over rull thirteen frames, and waited un-
tn twilight was closing in on CooSan 5
Bluff before submitting to Submersion at
the hands Of the Cleveland Maps.
II the three hours Of warfare had been
thickly sprayed with highly polished base
ball there might have been some Of the
excuse for the delay. but so many glow
ing opportunities to win sprouted, bios
somcd and went to seed. with not so
much as a hand stretched cut TO reap the
harvest that the faithful became slightly
bored. The score was 8 to ..
Mitchell the visiting southpaw. took on
both Ray Fisher and George Mcconnell
in a pitching duel which was not with
out merit The end came when McCon-
nell issued a pass TO Chapman at the be
ginning of the thirteenth. Johnston laid
down a pretty sacrifice, advancing the
runner 10 SeCOIO. MS tNNuA Slpil " NA4iNN'
came as the result of a foolish toss by
Jack Knight. who. after taking McCon-
nelTs throw that extingushed Johnston
made a needless heave 20 second, which
wandered into left field.
Joe Jackson did not stand upon cere-
mony in bringing home the winning run.
He cracked the first ball through short
for two bases, scoring Johnston Lajoie
fled out TO Cree and Joe was nipped try
ing TO take third on a poor return TO the
infeld.
Mitchell contributed two bases on balls
in the last half OF the frame, but New
York, as in numerous earlier innings,
showed no inclination to make use Of
them to attach run or two.
There we're one or two bright spots in
the fray, but on the whole il reeked with
lot OF poor playing. which took the form
Of fearful base running. Roger Peckin-
paugh. the dashing New York shortstop.
did his best 10 relieve the dull monotony
Of affairs by some sensational fielding.
He handled thirteen chances without an
error and partook in four death dealing
double plays which took the heart out Of
the Cleveland attack.
Harry Wolter made some superfne
catches in centre field, pulling down far
roaming drive by jackson in the fifth
inning with exceeding skill. He corralled
five flies before calling it an afternoon s
work.
In spite Of violent laps-s OF form in the
box. the three pitchers who took part in
the fray succeeded in keeping the hits
we'll enough scattered 10 make the scor-
ing light. Mitchell parcelled out nine TO
the Yankees, while Fisher was found for
six in seven frames. and Mcconnell,
whose work had the most distinction al
lowed only four in six.
The Cleveland twirler was good and
bad by turns He famed men with
reckless abandon and passed them with
equal freedom. Twelve batsmen felt the
sting Of the strike-out while eight
walked. Yet so foreign was the pinch
hit TO the nature OF the Yankees that
they had twelve men left on the bags.
Fisher and Mcconnell gave three passes
apiece and struck out four between them,
forcing Cleveland TO leave eight runners
stranded.
The base running OF both teams was
vretched. Wolter should have had three
bases OF A sharp drive to left in the first,
bat pulled Up at first base and so failed
10 get further than second when the ball
dribbled through Graney. Gossett threw
away run when he tried 10 count Oh
short passed ball in the seventh, omttlnS
TO hit 10 the dirt as he came home and
Ill
Because Of this the Yankees extracted
only one run out OF three hits and two
passes in this frame, when the game
might have been won then and there.
After Hartzell had walked at the begin
ning Of the eleventh and showed the way
10 a victory Mcconnell laid down sac
rifce bunt TO Turner and failed TO run
out the hit. so that when Hartzell was
forced at second the New York pitcne!
was pitilessly doubled at first.
The sins Of the Maps were largely omis-
sions to take extra bases on raps 10 the
corners Of left and right field. They also
had prediction 20 anchoring 10 the
bags and failing to advance when the
opportunities came. In the ninth Grancy
ran up and down between second and
third for some time, in order 10 let MI
chell get 10 second on an nfield grounder,
but the Cleveland pitcher refused 70
bulge.
The Yankees tailed in the first frame
on doubles by Wolter and Daniels. Three
hits in row by Midhf Gossett and
Hartzell, batting for Fisher in the sew
enth. netted another. Mitchells fly to
left, which Cree misjudged, coupled with
a scratch hit by Leibod and an inheld
grounder by Chapman, gave the Maps
their first counter. In the sixth, with
two out Grsney put the ball in the right
field stands for a home run JACK
Knight made mis- first appearance here In
a New York uniform, and got q cordial
reception from the few thousand fans
on hand. He played good game
The score follows:
