YANKEES DEFEAT
RYAN'S HOPEFULS
IN BANG-UP GAME
Continued From First Page.)

Continued From First Page.)
mond Ryan, of Richmond, has
determined to play youth and
strategy against age and expert
ence; SO Ryan and Chance,
though miles apart SO far as
classification is concerned, have
one thing in common-a ball
club composed of young men.
Nothing Startling.
The game yesterday was not
marked by anything startling. 1t
was played in good time, and the
Colts managed to live up to the
pace set by the lcaguers. Ray
Heating, the spitball wonder,
went to the pit for tho Chance
lings, but he evidently held him
self in check, for he showed Meth
or speed nor curves during the
SIX boxes he pitched. Dodc Crisis,
who followed, was handing out
an assortment Of curves. and the
bushers gave absolute evidence
that the season has just begun for
them, looking rather foolish be-
tore the benders that sailed over.
Fred Wcstervclt, who was the UNI
pirc OF the occasion. helped the visi-
tors to couple OF ITALICS, but he did
1t without malice. One or two Of his
decisions were clearly wrong and
every time he erred 1t was against the
| home club. However. Westy Will prob
ably get in condition along with the
players. and Is hero and now granted
dissolution provided he promises to
commit no more sins Of similar char
| acter.
Regulars Are Here.
For some reason Or other we had
| been of the opinion that the Yanks
would bring their rockies to play the
/ Colts. However, such was not the
case. With one exception. the New
| Yorks will start tho league season
| with just tho lineup that was pre-
! sentcd 10 the fans yesterday. Holden.

! Arthur Irwin, who looks after the
! financial end OF the team, gave GU,
/ this information, and was somewhat
peeved that the impression had gone
| forth that TIL yannigans were working
| here.
Ryan gave three OF his pitchers an
! opportunity to show, and all three
| performed creditably. Shipc started,
and though three runs with many
| binglcs are charged against him, tho
| aforementioned Mr.. Wcstervclt Is in

inning. when three Yanks cashed 1t

However, that's neither here nor
| there. and TO avoid argument well adj
nit that the Yankees are trifle better
ball club than the Colts.
Settan VIII DO.
| Following Shipc. George Settan. the
| Baltimore youngster was sent TO the
front. and one run was the net result
of tho bonibardment. Russell Byrd
finished for the Colts and yielded four
hits for n total of three runs. But it
was in their offensive ability that the
crop Of Colts appealed TO the fans.
They hit the ball good and hard, ran
the bases with good judgment and
never bent once under the fire from the
big loagucrs hurlcrs a total of eight
hits and three runs Is q pretty fair
showing, and for while Ryan's club
looked just as formidable as the Yam

Woerth Catches Entire Game.
Wocrth caught the entire game,
which probably means that Ryan will
give Mike LOan the same chance
