YANKEES RALLY IN TIME
Score Seven Runs in Eighth
Frame with Rush of Hits.
BROWNS PROTEST GAME
Frank Chance Bats Out OF
Turn, but Mistake Is Not
Discovered in Time.

ST. Louis MAY with an heroic rally
IN the eighth inning. when five singles
were punched with two bases on balls
and an error, the Yankees defeated the
st. Louis Browns here this afternoon by
a score of S TO 8.
The victory, however was not without
a flaw which has led to a protest on the
part OF St. Louis. Frank Chance. acting
as a pinch hitter. batted for Ray Fisher,
and was an easy out, at the beginning OF
the eighth. But the team batted around
and, with two out and four runs across
the plate, Chance came up TO the plate
again, this time batting IN Derrick 5
place. He made single, bringing in the
fifth run OF the frame and scored the sew
enth himself on hit by Daniels.
The mistake was overlooked by Hide
brand the umpire. and the Browns did
not wake up until after the inning was
over. 50 that their protest fell on deaf
ears. because it was made too late.
The rule governing the case distinctly
saws that a man batting ont OF turn shall
bc declared out before a ball is delivered
TO the next batter. The Browns let the
opportunity pass and IT is hard to see
how Ban Johnson can allow the protest.
II was a day for heavy cannonading by
the batsmen of both teams. Wellman
stood the entire fire for the, Browns, even
sticking 10 his task throughout the bitter
eighth. Thirteen hits were made of his
delivery but these were OF little use until
the furry in the eighth. when bit OF
consecutive work was done with con-
siderable emphasis.
Ray Fisher on the other hand kept a
fairly even pace. until two singles. hit
batsman and two errors gave ST. Louis
three runs in the sixth. The seventh
offered little that was difficult TO Fisher,
but he retired over the pinch-hit route in
the eighth. and Schulz was asked to
finish the game
The young southpaw was not in the
best OF form and quickly got into diff
cultles. TWO nits and three passes. all
before he got under way. was enough TO
convince Chance that a change was
necessary. and he had to call on Long
George Mcconnell to finish the game. As
II was. the Browns tailed three runs
and nearly caught up with the Yankees
when "A double. a passed ball. sacrifice
rs. two passes and two singles were
punched in the ninth.
