The rampant Yankees. displaying skill
and proves hardly to be expected from
those in such a humble walk in life,
pestered the jungle foe from Detroit for
another victory at the Polo Grounds yes
terday afternoon. much TO the chagrin Of
Hughie Jennings. The sorre-tOpped
leader. with a new carrOt-thatched catch
er Of the Mckee clan to help him put
dash of color in the scene. whisted heart
lily for a victory which proved coyly
elusive because Russell Ford had some
thing more than tincture of slippery elm
on the ball. Hence winning streak OF
two games for New York The score
was TO ?.
The Tiger tanner was pleasantly sur
prised to learn that his suspension had
been lifted by the gracious Ban Johnson.
SO he was able to put his we'll trained
favorites through their PAGES without
calling upon an understudy TO WELD the
whip. Hughie got out where the grass
was long and proceeded to make a lot
of hay
He braved the baleful eye of Murphy,
the groundkeeper, who can call every
blade by name, until the custodian of the
field was wellnigh distracted Only Jen-
nings's nationality saved him In the end,
for woe betide any but an Irishman who
tries TO clutter up the turf.
Ty Cobb. too. was allowed to follow his
natural bent Attempts were made, ii is
true. TO stop the Georgia wrath. but 10
little purpose. The Yankees let him ease
a lot of good stun out Of his system TO
delight the throng. because II did not
bear heavily on the general result, owing
10 the lack of compemental support. Ty
made two hits, stole two bases and scored
a run. He beat out bunt in the seventh
and robbed second and third, the side
being retired before he could pilfer the
plate.
Ford pitched i'm excellent fashion. max
ing the visitors sow their hits on the
waste places so that the run crop was
light. The two counters that did attach
themselves TO the Detroit standard were
gratuitous offerings from the home con
tngent
When Gainor singled TO right in the
fifth Bert Daniels, an adventuresome
spirit and courageous. had a vision of
nipping Cobb tripping blithely from first
to third 1t was only a dream, for the
saw Gainor sneaking TO second and aimed
for the keystone sack, only to find the
ball rolling out to Daniels again. The
latter returned the ball 10 Sweeney via
the Detroit players bench, letting both
runners count.
The hits by Cobb and Gainor in this
frame were the only ones punched on
Ford. The other four he allowed were
carefully distributed Russell had a tick
lish time in the seventh, when runners
reached second and third with only one
out. but Moriarty fouled to Derrick and
PeCkinpaugh made a dazzling stop aad
throw Of McKee's smash. Ford passed
Sam Crawford in opening the ninth. aut
made up for this by tanning Cobb.
Neach forced Sam at second. and Gainor,
who had made two hits previously. struck
out. The New York twirler passed three
men and famed trio.
Ezra Midkiff. the young third baseman
who has won so much favor, retired from
the game in the sixth inning with badly
cut hand. which may k4ep him out OF the
game for a week. He was spiked by
Bush, who attempted 10 90 from second
to third on Wits smash 20 Peckinpaugh.
Derrick was requsitioned to finish the
struggle a third. I'd. Sweeney, after Two
days of rest, was sent in to catch his old
pal" Ford. but gave a rather poor ex-
hibition. The Tigers stole five bases On
him and his throwing grew worse as the
game went on.
Dubuc did some fair work for Detroit,
but his support was a little awry in one
frame and a pair OF hits were punched
in two others, while three passes and q
single in the ninth were ample 10 give
New York the game.
