YANKEES POUND BALL
BUT MAPS TAKE GAME
Chances Men Pile Up Sixteen
Hits, but Can't Make
Them Count.
LOSE BY ONE RUN MARGIN
Almost Back in Last Place
When Visitors Garner
Five Tallies from
Only Six Hits.

Doing a more extensive business on six
hits than the Yankees did on sixteen the
Cleveland Maps cantered 10 the fore In
the second game of the series at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon.
The intensive cultivation Of safeties was
DEVELOPED 10 such a high degree by the
visitors that nearly every wallop resulted
IN a counter. while the home team wasted
massive blows with utter disregard OF
consequences. so they lost the game and
came within a point of cnce more drop
ping into last place. The score was to 4.
Such lusty clouting Is not produced by
Chances men very often, and they did not
know Just what to do about il. Neither
did old Cy Falkenberg, the well known
comeback Cy presided for trife more
than four innings and pulled out of sew
eral critical places without being over
taken by disaster. but when he attempted
TO open the nth frame by allowing four
hits in a row Birmingham called him to
the berch and asked Bill Steen TO con-
tinue the argument.
There were two runs across the plate
and two men on the bags when Bill start
ed operating. To make the conditions just
right for sensational relief work, Steen
made wild pitch and issued pass. NIL
ing the bags before settling down and re-
firing the next three men in order,
With ten hits off Falkenberg and six of
Steen, not TO mention four bases on balls,
there was plenty OF material for the
moulding Of a substantial victory. But
what with one thing and another the Yam
KEGS had a gay young time trying 10 ex-
tract four runs out Of the melee The
WAYS were all shaped for big inning
when Steen entered the fray with the
bases filled and none out. but Gilhooley
and Peckinpaugh were retired on easy
non flies while Gossett hit 10 the box
Maisel doubled with one out in the sixth
only TO have Holden and Cree dribble TO
Steen. Two hits in the seventh went 10
seed when Peckinpaugh hit into double
play.
In the ninth the big chance was passed
M owing TO Holden's awkwardness. The
centre fielder walked for starter and took
second on Cree's single. Before Williams
could draw a pass and fill the bags
Holden was picked off at second by Car
isch's toss TO Chapman. A long fly by
Zeider and a hit by Gilhooley followed.
but Peckinpaugh grounded in to force
out at second, ending the game.
The failure Of the New York shortstop
10 hit safely during the game was largely
responsible for the defeat Of the Yankees.
Outside Of the battery men and pinch
hitters, he was the only player who did
not get a hit Twice he came up with
the bases filled. and once with two men
on the bags, but did nothing for the
cause. The Yankees had twelve men left
on the paths as the result Of their back
wardness in pushing runners across the
plate.
While the Maps showed little power
with the stick, aside from inserting their
drives at timely moments, they had the
help Of eight bases on balls in their al
tack. Ray Fisher started the game, and
grew so Wild along about the third inning
that Chance was compelled TO remove
him. although he had allowed only three
hits One safety, three passes and nj
batsman gave the visitors two runs IN
this inning before Fisher was tagged and
Schulz brought in 10 strike out Falken-
berg and end It all. Heinie was the acme
Of form during his reign, and kept the
Maps we'll in hand while allowing three
hits. He retired TO let Caldwell bat FOR
him in the eighth, and McHale twirled
the ninth, polishing off the game with
skill.
