Yankees Find No Fatal
Results in Pitching
of the Pole.
PECK'S HOME RUN
IS USEFUL DRIVE
Long Hits in Plenty at Hard
Fought Battle on the
Polo Grounds.

Harry Coveleskie is no longer the
jinx plenipotentiary 20 the New York
teams. The erstwhile "Giant Killer
took me mound against the Yankees at
the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon,
but unfortunately for him found
Chances men in mood when all pitch
ers looked alike to them. lie was
mauled around the greensward for a
round ten hits Of varying distance, and
these, grouped around the several err
ors OF his teammates, made it easy for
the local men 70 make the circuit OF
the paths. The score was 20 ;.
Truth Of history demands that 10 DC
chronicled that the New Yorks did most
Of their mauling in the early rounds.
In the last four innings just two hits
we're made, and only one sharp play
was necessary 70 cut of a possible
safety. Bush made this, and 1t was
beauty, too, on slow roller by Cree
in behind the pitchers box. But, early
or late, the hitting was done, and the
power Of the big Pole was broken for
the day at least. Il appeared for the
time being that the leading snare drum
mer Of organized baseball would be
knocked out Of the box, but he wealth
cred the storm.
The Tiger moundsman was not the
only one 10 suffer. II he was forced 20
dip his colors, he at least lasted the
full game. Honors of war were his,
but the spoils Of victory went to the
allies. The allied force was Jack War
hop and Ray Fisher. Warhop started,
and after pitching a beautiful game FOR
seven innings blew mp.
Had he remained in the box there is
no telling just what might have hap
pened. But when the jungle terrors
came within striking distance Chance
hauled little Jack out Of the fracas
and hurled Ray Fisher into the breach.
Ray was a capable reservist, retiring
the six men who faced him in order.
Tigers Leave Kitten Class.
After behaving themselves like nice
little kittens for seven innings, IN
which time they scored only two runs
and were apparently badly beaten, the
Tigers heard the call Of the wild. They
responded as Tigers should respond,
and the blood of the more or less loyal
New York rooters ran cold
Tyrus Cobb, an outfelder Of some
repute, started the eighth inning by
slamming one on the nose TO left cen
ire. IL was fair two-bagger. but Ty
kept right on running, and raised the
dust at third with his slide 20 safety.
Hughie Jennings rent the heavy,
rain-soaked air with his battle cry as
Sam Crawford came 10 the bat. He
admonished the Wahoo barber 10 touch
all the bases. Sam didn't have many
bases TO touch just at one time. He
beat out a puny roller TO second base
by an eyelash, but the fect-footed
Cobb loped home. This brought Bob
Neach up to the bat. Previously Bob
had ripped out a hree-bagger. This
time he Joined the Baker Club. He
picked out one of Warhop's raise balls
and lofted it into the upper tier Of the
grandstand for a home run. OF course,
Crawford scored easily.
Neach's hit was one Of the longest
ever made on the grounds. II landed
between Sections b and c, some dozen
rows back in the seats. And that
blow brought about the finish Of war
hop as a pitcher. Chance decided that
too much was quite enough. lie with,
drew Jack from the line and hurried
ouslv. the latter put an end TO all
scoring. and incidentally struck out
three Of the half dozen men who faced
him.
Homer Just Gets Home.
II was day Of long-distance hit
ting. In the aggregate number OF eh-
ira bases the Tigers had little the
better Of the argument. Their batting
gained them nine additional bases to
eight for the Yankees. IL was colnci-
dence. perhaps, that there were three
doubles. three triples and three home
runs. The Yankees monopolized the
two-baggers. Warhop got two and
Hartzell one. But the Tigers cornered
the three-baggers. Cobb, Veach and
COvaleskie each got one.
Honors fell to New York in the
drives for the circuit Leslie Nuna-
maker put one in the left field bleach
ers. while Roger Peckinpaugh put one
into the right field stand, fair by
inches. Neach's drive was the third,
last and greatest of them all.
The Yankees started TO score In the
first inning. After Maisel died on fly
20 Cobb, Hartzell was safe on kaya-
naugh's fearful error. Cook forced
Roy at second, but took third himself
when Cree hit to right The runners
then broke out in double steal, but
Cree doubled back to first in safety
as Cook Numbered across the plate. In
the second inning Nunamaker made his
home run. Hartzcll singled in the
third and moved up on Cooks sacrifice
bunt. He took third on Covaleskies
wild throw TO second trying TO catch
him. Hartzell was run down when
Cree nit to the box, Birdie taking see
ond on the play. Then Peek drove out
home run. In the fifth Warhop's
double. Maise's single and an inheld
out by HartEell scored New York's last
run.
The Tigers scored first in the third
inning. COvaleskie tripled and scored
when Peckinpaugh hit him with the
ball. when Bush rolled 10 shortstop.
In the sixth Cobb singled. took third
on Crawford's hit and scored when
Ncach forced Crawford.
The score follows:
