The New Yorks lost a twelve inning
tange to the Athletics yesterday after
noon. but went back at them belligerently
and beat them in the second number of the
double header. The score was to in
the extra inning contest and to in
the second. The double dose OF matinee
consumed within five minutes of five
hours. including the interim, and also
consumed many pitchers.
The first game stretched over three
hours and ten minutes, a long time even
for twelve innings, but there was so much
scoring and walking and running that
the average time to the inning was six
teen minutes. In the second game, which

innings averaged nine minutes, silk
