a pass. two hits and two errors gave the
Athletics I'VE runs and the lead. when
they maintained 10 the end.
Ksatinc was summoned 10 rescue the
laundering Yankees i'm this frame. and
sailed through three innings, allowing
only three hits. but fearsOme support 'et
these few safeties blossom into three
runs. Klepfer. a young pitcher. was in

tanning Baker. the first man up. he be-
came so excited over the performances
that two singles and a pass filled the
bases. Then an unumely foul by Barry
and an infeld grounder by BUSH retired
the side with no one scoring.
The WAYS were oiled for the dismissal
Of both Houck and Bush right at the
start. but the former was the only one
who felt the lash Of the Yankees. Having
hated him out of the box on the day De

Joe Bush TO twrl from the third frame

fourth but breezed through the next
three frames gloriously.

triple added two runs more but the punch
to send him 10 cover was lacking, and the
Athletics made away with the victory
without half exerting themselves. Bush
allowed only six hits in the seven innings
he worked and gave three passes.
Changes are made I'm the New York
lineup every day, and Chance pieced to-
gether a new nine yesterday, benching
WOlter and Lelivelt, putting Hartzel IN
centre. Daniels i'm right and Mckechnie
on third. The arrangement worked ad-
mirably for time.
whirlwind double play by Derrick,
McKechnie and Chase in the first inning
brought out the heartiest cheers that have

sral days Most conspicuous of all, how
ever, was HartzelIs catch Of Walsh's fly

connie Mack Is not satisfied with the
lhe-up Of his team. and made some
