The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-05-23

A game slipped away from the New
Yorks yesterday because OF individual
slips here and there. because OF several
home hitters swinging wildly at pitches
OF Rip Hagerman which were nearer to
balls and because Of the shillelah of Joe
jackson. The score was to 2 in favor
of the Maps, who had been doing 80
poorly that Dr. Birmingham prescribed
shakeup.
Ii would have been more considerable
OF Birmingham to have waited until the
next stop on the Cleveland itinerary be
fore ordering the shskeup. II that is what
brought about the second victory for the
Maps since they strayed East. In that
case the overhauling would not have been
at New York's expense. However. Biz

are for himself. He laid of Terry Tur-
ner and Johnston, the first baseman senti-
mel. He sent ole Olson to third in place
of Turner. put the shortstop burden on
Bisland and supplanted Johnston with

The proof of the pudding was In the
beating. The Maps didn't electrify the
assemblage with their playing-they made
only five hits. but they won the game.
They were helped by jackson. as afore-
said, also by the bats OF Bisland and
Graney. by a sad outbreak of base run d.
ming on the part OF Doc Cook, who didn't
stay close enough to the north pole, 9TH

were flashing a rally by the ferocious
and futile swinging done by Caldwell.

The machinery OF New York's game
at the bat was creaky and out of gear.
The Maps, on the other hand, with few
hits, got together nicely with three OF
them in the fourth inning. After Leibold
had ditched himself with grounder to
Williams, Blsland punched a drive TO cen-
ire. Graney singled TO Peckinpaugh. The
formidable figure of Jackson then loaned

question of lack of foresight, but Of lack
of clairvoyance. There were two strikes
and three balls on Jackson and he had a
nice one TO hit. McHale made a good
play when he threw out Lajoie, though
Larry was slow getting to first.
A wild throw by McHale gave the
Clevelands their third run. Bisland
walked In the sixth and was forced by
Graney. In driving Graney back to first
McHale threw to the stand and the runner
went TO third. Jackson's fly brought him
home, being too far out for more than the
