a Dull Game Even
More Dull.
PLAYING OF CREE
ONE BRIGHT SPOT
Old Bobby Wallace Gets Into
Game After Long Lay-Off
and Plays We'll.

Silk OLoughiin is a politician wher
the affairs of the baseball diamond do
not absorb his attention. 10 has often
been said that, In order 10 make r
success IN the political world, one
must be a diplomat, but SILK disabused
this notion at the Polo Grounds yes
terday afternoon, when the Yankees
defeated the Browns. TO 8.
I'm the fourth inning OF that epic
struggle under CoOgan'5 Bluff SILK
turned his eyes toward heaven and
said, in tones audible in the press
stand. you fellows are the worst
over saw in my life Those VINO heard
believed. The ways Of those teams
was past all understanding.
silks thoroughly human statement
was due 20 the dilatory tactics Of the
Browns. Said tactics we're the result,
or one of the results, Of the Yankees
piling up n f0ur-run lead i'm the first
inning. and adding an additional brace
Of tallies in the second. Twas rain
ing; in fact. IL raincd all afternoon, so
the Browns loated along, hoping tha,
OLoughlin would call the game before
the fifth inning and cheat the home
team out Of a victory.
But Silk said they'd play II all hands
finished all awash Some two hours
or more were consumed.
The Yankees are now within a game
Of sixth place.
The performances Of Birdie Cree,
both in the field and at the bat. called
forth what applause there was. Two
Of his three catches were made after
hard runs, cutting down three-baggers
at least His capture Of Bobby Wal
laces liner to right centre field was
pretty TO see. He drew down three
hits for himself including in these a
brace Of two-baggers.
c. Walker who for a brief period led
the league at the bat. also got three
bingles. one OF which was a triple far
over Birdie Cree's head. On dry
field the drive would have been good
for the circuit Old Bobby Wallace
proved that he sti.l has a kick left by
getting two hits and playing well at
shortstop. l. was his first day OF
active service for some time.
Marty McIlale mas q fine tenor voice,
10 is said He pitched for the Yankees
Yesterday and he won. There IS no
getting behind the score. lie allowed
a generous number of hits, and from
the fifth inning on was Undecided
whether or not 20 blow up. But he
decided % stick 10 his guns. 50, al
though hard pressed on all sides, he
was In there with wan smile through
out. That smile broadened out after
all was settled. Winning games IS an
unexpected Joy for some.
There are a lot of mean men ODD base
ball. In fact. there is certain eie-
ment which delights i'm making life
miserable for fellow man. Lefty
Leverenz and Henry Hoch will swear
to this. They pitched for the Browns,
and ought 10 know Leverenz was IN
there for one lone inning. Four runs
were scored before he was convinced
that the firing line was no place Tor
him. Hoch. disguised as a rlght-hand-
or. came into the fray m the second
frame. His disguise was soon pene-,
trated. but Hickey let him stay IN ana
tyke his medicine. lie wasted all man
ner Of time and did little else.
The Yankees showed a real burst OF
baseball nm the first inning In scoring
four runs. With one out, Hartzeli
singled. but was put out al third on
Cooks drive TO Pratt. Cree doubled,
scoring Cook. Mullen then walked and
Peckinpaugh singled. filling the sacks.
With the count three and two on
Nunamaker. all hands started to run,
and when the catcher singled every
body scored. Errors and hard hitting
combined scored the other runs tof
New York.
