His Efforts.
Loud on the kettledrums. let soft music
no longer prevail for the dauntless
Yankees took the last game of the series
from the ST. Louis Browns at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon. only 800
spectators. or Whereabouts, were on hand
10 witness the strife but lack Of numbers
was more than equalizcd by the exclusive
ness OF the set
II was a most suspicious occasion, TOO
for not alone did the Yankees make II
three out Of four for the series but gained
an even break i'm the twenty-five games
played between the teams for the season.
For six innings the game bore all the
outward signs Of baseball. The score was
tied at two all. and everybody waited
with bated breath for the break 10 come
When il finally arrived it was more in
the nature OF an explosion. for what with
hard. sequential hitting and loose fielding
on the part of the opposition the Yankees
maced out a victory by the all-sufficient
score of 10 TO 8.
With grim determination written IN
every feature the rival managers sent
forth their one best bet TO swing the tide.
Why not? Did not the seasons work de-
pend upon the outcome? Ray CaldWe!l
therefore took his place upon the rubber
opposed by Baumgartner. The resulting
duel will never go down as one of the
pitching treats of the season. The batters

tcrmined to fatten their averages. and a
wild batting orgy was held. in which no
fewer than twenty-four hits were made,
good for total Of thirty bases.
The Browns got to Caldwell for eleven
safeties. and these included d double by
Pratt and a resounding triple 70 right
centre field by Balenti. Neither of these
extra base hits. however. counted in the
scoring of runs. Although pounded with
more than usual freedom Caldwell
pitched with rare skill I'm the tight places
and sQuelched the numerous scoring
propositions which the Browns advanced.
In every inning save the eighth the Wis
itors had at least one man on base, yet
they were unable 10 make the most of
their chances. So effective was Caldwell
that no fewer than ten visitors were left
on bases.
Baumgartner swung along famously for
five innings. In that space Of time he
allowed only five hits. but these were
moulded into a brace of TALES that tied
the score. Then without apparent rhyme
OF reason he lost his stuff" and blew Up.
His delivery was knocked higher than a
kite. his support wavered and broke. and
the Yankees sent man after man around
the lines
All teams look good when they are win
ming, and none more so than the Yankees
yesterday. For the second day in success
sion not a fielding error was made. and
not all the chances were easy. They were
made to look foolish in the ninth inning.
however, when, with two out, weak.
miserable fly by Pratt fell safely between
knight. Williams and Caldwell, allowing a
runner 10 score.
The youngsters showed well again.
Holden, the New London boy, held down
centre field in fine style. He made two
neat catches, and fine throw to the plate
in the seventh inning. which nipped
Baumgartner when he tried TO score on a
single by Pratt Gilhooley tore off three
hits, sharing the honors with Birdie Cree,
who for the third day in succession lined
out three safeties.
If any charges Of poor craftsmanship
were entered against the Browns at any
past date they were withdrawn yesterday.
IL would be hard 10 imagine a team that
tried harder 10 throw a game over the
nigh shoulder than they did. once the
mood struck them. Clarence Walker es-
pecially was an active. willing worker in
behalf OF the Yankees. He made only
three errors. and one Of these was wild
throw OF Homeric proportions that al
lowed Ed Sweeney 10 make the circuit
when he singled to left field with the
bases full So it happened that four runs
battered over the pan.
Both teams scored in the first inning
the Browns on pass TO Shotten, two in

witsmiths had rare chance for practice
when Maisel's line hit bounded OFF Baum
