DR.. Hughey Jennings, of Detroit, noted
,o- his skill as a surgeon. performed an
o,ber painless operation at the Polo
Grounds Yesterday afternoon while some
. 600 interested spectators looked on.
With George Dauss. young and rising
member Of the profession, In attendance
mr. Jennings amputated a victory from
Frank Chances New York Yankees by a
score of . 10 I. Dr. Sam Crawford. old in
the WAYS OF the profession, cast his criti-
cal eve over the subject. and declared the
operation a complete success. He even
vent so far as TO predict that Chance
WOULD be I'D and around this afternoon at
the usual time.
II required much skilful, not TO say
d;nlomatic argument to convince Chance
that he was in need Of professional ser
vice. and II was not until the last mo-
rnert that he finally submitted himself TO
inc tender mercies Of the visitors. He
WAS backed in his argument by Russell
Ford who tried in every way to make
the Tigers show cause sor the desire to
snlputate another victory.
sam Crawford presented the final argu-
U1nnf WHICH Was SNttDAkt as IL WAS uN-
cisive as skilfully rendered as it was
forceful Coming to the plate in the third
frame the squire from Wahoo found
George Dauss on first base. which he had
reached thanks 10 an error by Jack
Knight Crawford then picked out waist
high ball and sent IL sailing far over the
heads Of Harry Wolter and Bert Daniels
70 deepest right centre field. Before the
ball had fallen TO earth Crawford had al
most reached third. and was half way
10 the bench before it was returned TO
the inield. Dauss in the mean time had
walked home.
Dauss was a thorn in the side OF the
Yankees. and one that assumed almost
titanic proportions as the game wore
along He let the Yankees down with
five hits. and only two Of these were
really clean. For all that however, he
was in hot water several times. and only
the most fortunate breaks in the game
prevented the Yankees from at least
tieing the score. The gods OF fortune
smiled broadly on him in the seventh
inning when Cree tripled and Sweeney
singled. yet never run counted.
Cree started the frame by driving TO
right for three bases. a mean fly which
Cobb almost caught after hard run.
and which Crawford should have had
easily. With one out Dauss made
wild pitch. but covered the plate in time
10 take McKee's return and nail Cree
By foot. sweeney then singled, but
Ford closed by striking out In the
eighth Daniels got a lucky hit and in
due time reached third base. He tried
10 steal home. but died the death by
two feet
The Yankees got after Dauss for their
lone tally in the sixth inning Ford was
passed. but was forced at second on
VOTERS tap to Midkif, Bauman getting
the put out Daniels went TO second
when Woiter walked. and he scored on
Hartzen-s single to centre. a rap on
which Cobb mace a remarkable stop
and throw which held Wolter on second
base. Peckinpaugh then forced Wolter
at third. but he and Hartzell moved up
on a wild pitch Neither went further'
for knight struck out ingloriously, kick
ing to cover his fault.
Five bases were pilfered on unsuspect-
ing catchers. The Yankees led the move
ment with three TO their credit. Swee-
ney's arm was much better. and all his
throws reached the bag in two or more
bounces. The play on the whole was
good. Birdie Cree was at his old trade
of basket making once more. and the
two chances he had were Of the spec
tacular order. In the first inning ne
.iunsed headlong into the left field fence
and gathered in Crawfotd's drive off the
wall. The ball was labelled for three
bases at least, and Cree was applaudeo
generously for his fine work. Birdie
slso robbed Moriarty Of double by
sboestring catch in the second inning.
In the fifth Peckinpaugh MADE nhe
stop Of a drive BY Dauss and got MIN al
first.
