YANKEES AGAIN ON
VERGE OF VICTORY
Stolen Base Marks the Only
Difference Between Maps
and Chances Men.
NO ERRORS ON EITHER SIDE
Kahler on Brink of Wildness
Often, but Recuperates
When Home Team Be-
comes Dangerous.

In a game without an error or an extra
base hit the Yankees quietly subsidized be-
fore the Cleveland Maps at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon. In regis
tering their fourth straight victory over
the home team the visitors were required
10 make II thirteen successive defeats for
New York, which is edging along toward
new record
Chances men have several long strides
10 take before setting a new mark. but
conditions are favorable for a cataclysmic
upheaval and a readjustment of the old
figures. The score was to l.
Base running swung a nip and tuck
battle in favor Of the invaders, for by
this alone were the Maps able to extract
two runs out OF three hits in the second
frame. whereas the less agile Yanks har-
vested only one out OF the same number
of safeties in the fourth. A deftly in
serted stolen base. following closely upon
a hit and run play. was all that meas
ured the difference between the two
teams.
Kahler, with 8 world OF speed. threat
ened to go wild any minute, but he
showed such vast recuperative powers in
the pinches that the batting OF the home
team was little more than a formality In
all except two innings. The only two
passes that Kahler countersigned, along
with a hit. filed the bags in the third,
but no runs accrued therefrom. In the
fourth the Yankees got real saucy with a
trio Of bingles-so much so that such
topliners as Vean Gregg and Falkenberg
TO- Hut
But Kahler weathered the storm and re-
tired the side in order for the rest Of the
game Peckinpaugh was the only New
Yorker to reach first base during that
period. and he died stealing. Fifteen
men faced the visiting twirler in the last
five innings He yielded only six hits
throughout the nine frames.
Ray Fisher. the local entry. pitched
every whit as good a game and received
the same sparkling support. but his team
mates lacked just that indefnable touch
of class to get away with the victory.
The visitors nicked the school teacher
for eight hits. but these were punched in
only one frame. After the second inning
only one of the visitors was able TO get
TO second and the Maps never seriously
threatened the plate.
Ronie Zeider and Peckinpaugh. the re-
cent acquisitions TO the battle line. were
conspicuous with the stick. both polling
out two hits apiece, and doing right royal
fielding at the same time. Joe Jackson
picked up his daily quota OF safeties.
while Johnston and Carisch cola borated.
with great effectiveness
The two runs for Cleveland rolled in on
the second lap. Jackson started the
trouble as usual, by hooking the sphere
past Zeider for a base On a hit and
run play Ryan lined the first ball pitched
10 right. putting Jackson on third. Ryan
stole second, but Fisher grabbed hot
grounder off Graney's bat and threw the
runner out at first without letting Jack
son count. The infeld was pulled in for
play at tn, plate when Carisch came
TO bat and neatly lifted the ball Just out
of reach into right field, scoring Jackson
and Ryan. Carisch took second on
Kahlers sacrifice. and advanced TO third
on Johnstons inheld hit. The Cleveland
catcher took a long lead off third, and
was nipped by Sweeney. The ball hit him
in the back as he was running TO the
base. and Billy Evans ruled him out for
purposely getting in the way OF the
throw. This caused quite an uproar, re-
sulting in the Punishment OF Joe Bir-
mingham
The Yankees tailed in the third when
with one out. Ryan misjudged Sweeney's
fly, giving the runner hit Ed got only
rs far as second on Zeider's single
through second. Operations ceased for a
time while Midkiff was fouling to Olson
but Peckinpaugh's hit to centre brought
Sweeney home and put Zeider on third
Peckinpaugh went 10 second on a play
TO the plate. but Fisher hit 10 Turner
for the third out.
Frank Chance received a diamond en-
blem from the New York Order OF the
Moose before the game started.
