MIGHTY DRIVE BY JACKSON
Drops Sphere in Manhattan
Field Beyond Confines of
Puny Enclosure at
Polo Grounds.

The Yankees lost again. There was no
interruption TO the fixed programme en-
acted daily at the Polo Grounds when
the Maps foregathered with Chance
men yesterday afternoon, but Joe Jack
son. the dashing right fielder of the Wis
itcrs so garnished the defeat with a
mighty home run that it was even graf
flying TO figure as a loser in such an
epochal conflict. The score was TO o.
If one is a stickler for minor details.
The aforesaid Jackson spent all day
Tuesday gauging the distances and vast
reaches of the big stadium. After pom
Gering over the data he entered yester-
days matinee prepared to deliver blow
that made J. Franklin Bakers best eff
fort look like a sacrifice hunt
1t was produced on his first time up. in
the second inning. Catching one Of Rus
sell Fords spitters down around his
knees with scooping swing. he lifted
the sphere over the roof Of the right
field grandstand into Manhattan Field.
IT was a performance that never before
has been accomplished since the new
stands were built. and was set down
Immediately as the longest hit on record
at the grounds. The ball sailed between
the second and third hagpoles, counting
from the end. and cleared the roof with
several feet TO spare.
Both Graney and Sweeney were in
spired by this to deeds OF equal worth.
Both put the ball into the lower stand IN
the ninth inning. and their blows counted
more than Jackson's. for two men were
on the bags when the Cleveland player
cleaned up and one on when Sweeney
made his wallop for the circuit.
After his brilliant showing in Philadel-
phia last week it was confidently expect
cd that Russell Ford would be able 10
check the Maps. but the visitors in their
present batting mood are not easily ois-
MAYED. and Of the fifteen hits made OF
beyy Of New York twirlers eight were
gathered from Ford in the first six inn
ings. These netted four runs.
WARRIOR was the next Chance entry
and he held the Maps safely for one inn
ing. but a cluster of three singles in the
eighth proved his downfall, and before
Mcconnell. who came TO the rescue, could
retire the side two runs leaked across the
pan.
Long George" retired over the pinch
hit route in the eighth frame, leaving
Clark 10 finish the game. The youngster
was ticl<led for four hits in this stanza'
among them Graneys circuit clout so II
is not hard 10 discern how three more
counters were annexed to the score by the
Maps.
The Yankees pressed their cause with
more ardor than is their won't, hitting
Blanding, the Cleveland twirler. with
great good will The poorest batch Of
hitters in the league. they collected an
even dozen hardy wallops, but so scat
tered was the fire that the damage done
was slight
In spite OF this lusty stick work and
the transcribing Of four passes Bland
ing stuck TO his task right through the
nine innings. and was still moving them
down when the curtain descended. He
had the audacity to fan Peckinpaugh
for the last out. Because OF their poor
batting in the pinChes the Yankees had
twelve mon left on the bags.
The Cleveland team presented a ter
rife batting array every man on the
team with the exception Of Johnson maxi
ing at least one hit. while five had more
tnan one. Olson and O'Neil. with three
apiece. Were tho real leaders.
Bride Cree earned the laurels among
the home players. as he raped out a
double and two singles in four times up.
Borton. the new first basemsn. made
TWO clean hits as did Woter and
Sweeney. Zeider Clipped in with one,
and had a busy day at second. being
obliged 10 take care OF eleven chances.
OF which he handled nine perfectly.
