Playing the best game. probably. that
they have played so far this season. the
Yankees arose and defeated the snarling
Detroit Tigers in the final game Of the
series at the Polo Grounds yesterday af-
ternoon. Chance shook his team from
stem to stern. bcnching Bert Daniels and
Ezra Mdkinf and shifting Jack Knight
from first base TO second. In place Of
Daniels ne had Luther Cook. the much
touted outfeder from Austin, Tex: Harry
Williams Of Galveston. at first base in
stead OF Knight. while Roy Hartzell was
sent back 10 his old love al third base
There were several shifts I'm the batting
order, and they all worked for the best.

Standing forth in the glare of the cal

handed recruit. After wabbly start the
big fellow swung into man~killing stride

Chance had announced that he would
play Cook and Williams. and a goodly
sized crowd was on hand to watch the
work OF the men who may form part
Of a winning team next season. II the
work OF a single game may be accepted
as a criterion. Chance has a pair Of

He stood up at the bat the most uncon-
cerned man on the grounds and took
a free, healthy swing at the ball He
made three hits in four trips to the plate.
and. like Keeler used TO. Cook hit to
all fields and on the line. His first safe

double 10 left. while the third was a
beauty over second base He showed,

chance fell 10 his lot.
Williams. while not so fortunate in the
number OF his hits. made favorable
impression. lie made only one safety.
but that was a terrific smash into the left
field stand for home run. His other
three efforts were weak inheld taps. In
the field. however Williams showed his
true worth. ana not since the palmy days

and shot II toward the Statue OF Liberty.
Visions OF glorious error flashed
through the minds OF the crowd. but
Williams. balanced on one toe stuck ny
his gloycd hand and pulled the ball down.
