knight, who not so long ago PLAYED
shortstop and second base for the
to-day by defeating almost single handed
the second string players of the house Of
Chance. His two bagger i'm the seventh
inning and his slashing single in the ninth
paved the way for two runs, and so made
il possible for the Jersey City Shelters
to beat the New York recruits by a score

cruits with the help Of Russell Ford in

ond place, the recruits could not fathom
the deliveries of Mains and Doescher. the
Jersey city pitchers, and made only five
hits. The embryonic Yankees felded
more cloanly than their opponents. the
errors reading two and five respectively,
but this did not make NJ for the pa'pa-
BILE weakness with the bat.
Pep Young was at second base in
Hal Chase's place and again gave prom

purposes. There is no question about his

need a little more finish the chances sp-

Derrick was al short. and he, too, con-
unued TO make a favorable impression.

to be encouraged by what ne saw.
Caldwell pitched the first four innings
for the Yankees. and while two runs
were made OFF his delivery he struck ont
