FRANK IL. tndnCc, UldDdSti VI III
York Yankees, protested the game IN
which his team was defeated by the Phil
adelphia Athletics by score OF 10 l
at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon
The Peerless Leader" based his protest
on a decision which Bill Dineen the UNI
pire. rendered in the fourth inning. hoy
Hartzen was ordered back 10 second base
after scoring when Barrys throw of Bor-
toms scratch hit bounded of Dineen s
head. while the batter was sent back 10
the plate to try again.
The situation was as follows: Hartzell
started the inning by beating out nit
to shortstop and took second when Peek
npaugh was tossed out by Collins. BOT
ton then rolled one down TO Collins, which
the latter did well to stop at all Eddie
was far out OF position to make throw
TO first. so Jack Barry. tearing over, calico
for the ball. and shot it toward first.
The effort was i'll starred. Dineen, eX-
pecting no such play on the part OF Barry
was right in the path Of the ball, "hich
carromed over to the stnd back Of irst
base. Hartzell scored easily, while Bor-
ton raced TO second base.
Collins protested loudly, and was joined
by the other members of the Philadelphia
team. Then Frank Chance went out 10
find out what was stirring. only to ma
that Dineen had ordered Hartzell back
to second base and Borton to the pat
On his second trip 10 the plate Borton
sliced one down to Baker, and was safe
when the cleanup hitter made WIZ
throw. Hartzell taking third. Then MID
KIN hit safely to left field and Hartzel
counted. Presenting that Borton "ould
have beaten Barrys throw. two runs
might have been scored by the Yankees
and the game gone into extra innings
hence the protest
II would seem that Chance will not gain
his point. Section OF Rule 30. when
governs men returning TO bases. is as
follows. IF the person or clothing OF
the umpire interfere with the catcher IN
an attempt TO throw. or the umpire be
struck by a ball thrown by the catcher
or other fielder to intercept a runner. the
base runner shall return 10 his base
without liability 10 be put out.
II was an apathetic crowd which sat in
the stands. and after few minutes in
dustrious booing in the fourth inning sat
back TO endure the blistering heat as best
4, could There were many good points
in the game. and just "a few which were
no, so good. II is not unusual TO note
that the Yankees bore off the lions share
OF honors when II came TO kicking the
ball around OF the half dozen errors
spilled all over the summer afternoon
Chances men clicked or five. Borton
eased hts overwrought system OF two.
while Cree. Hartzell and Pecklnpaugh
forced their way into the calcium With
one each.
Far be II from Connie Mack to harpoon
the Yankees with unnecessary violence
Rather than clinch a victory by sending
forth chief Bender TO emulate the ex-
ample set by Eddie Plank yesterday he
accepted a sporting proposition and
trotted out Joe Bush. youngster OF more
than ordinary promise. to oppose Ray
Fisher.
II was of Bush's delivery that the
Yankees scored their lonely run. Incl
dcntally. they made four OF their five hits
before he retired I'm the nth inning to
allow Daley 20 bat for him. Houck took
his place.
Ray Fisher was in good form. and with
an even break in the luck might possibly
have pulled out the verdict. He was
"Bakerzed" I'm the sixth inning. in which
frame the Athletics won the game.
J. Franklin swung lusty wallop TO the
extreme centre field for three bases and
scored on a single TO left by Mc1nnis The
latter ran To second when Strunk beat
out a hit 10 Borton. and scored when the
former Chicago player threw the ball into
mid-distance for no apparent reason.
Those two tallles ended the scoring for
the day, and proved enough.
Eddie Murphy the energetic right
fielder OF the Athletics. made one OF the
greatest plays ever seen on the Polo
Grounds In the sixth inning Peckin-
paugh swung on one that seemed billed
for the upper tier Of the grandstand. II
dropped however, and with a quick run
and a catlko leap Murphy fairly climbed
the perpendicular wall. and. grabbing the
ball I'm one hand held fast
Cree was the leading batter FOR the
Yankees. with three rousing drives in
four times up.
The score follows
