The Yankees returned 10 the Polo
Grounds yesterday AFTERNOON. and strug-
gled manfully for victory under over
wheming odds. With the Athletics as
II cir opponents Frank Chance could only
hope and that was all he did The out
come was just what was to be expected
and the prospective winners Of the Amer
lean League pennant made away with
rather easy victory with score to o.
When Eddie Plank pulled on his glove
and started sharpshooting from the
mound to get the angles and directions
anent a possible appearance in the same
spot next October, there was little to do
but play out the string in formal way
TO give a handful of spectators a run for
their money.
The veteran southpaw was all that he
ought to be at this stage Of the race, and
the Yankees were thankful for the three
hits that he allowed. One of these was a
triple by Midkin to right centre field ia
as the New York player attempted to
score on a short passed ball and was exc
cuted at the plate Schang to Plank.
This was the only frame when the
Yankees had a look-in. and II Midkiff had
shown better judgment beyy OF runs
might nave been scored. II was the first
out Of an inning which saw Daniels, VOL
ter and Cree drawing passes and filling
the bags. Schulz however struck out be-
fore this deluge, and Sweeney. instead OF
cleaning up, hit 10 Collins and forced Cree

frames he worked, but gave four passes

the Athletics 10 count with comparative
freedom. The visitors. on the other
.hand put up their usual tight defence.
and everything the Yankees got was hard
earned-and little enough IL was, to be
sure.

Walsh crossed the plate. Baker was out
stealing.

two-base drive TO left field and took
third while Strunk was dying. Hart
