Branch Hickey has introduced many
new things to professional baseball!
and dropped many others. The pitchout
he uses not infrequently. but the "bawl-
out" and the "curseout" have no place
in his system. The Browns are still
n drinklcss and smokeless team, but

Gambling is also under Rickey's ban,
but the men are allowed to play casino
for white beans. Earl Hamilton has
won 1872 beans. and his team mates
are beginning to ask, Now that YOU We
got them. what are you gonna do with
them -
Browns Begin the Attack.
Spurred on by Rickey's never-ondlng
chatter the Browns began yesterday
game as II they were going to settle
things in a hurry. Their first run was
hammered home in the second inning.
After Clarence Walker. the sluSg9r,
had hit vanly az three curves Leary
walked. On hit and run play, Austin
banged a safe one that TrueSdale head
ed of with a great stop, but no play was
possible and Leary went to second.

Austin was forced at second base, while
Leary went 20 third
Hickey al once called for a double
steal. and the play went through
smoothly as Sweeney made a high

and Lavan went to second.

twenty minutes. Out came the sun,
and the Browns and Yankees followed.
Rickey's men proceeded TO get what
seemed 70 be a safe lead. for they
scored twice in the third inning. With
one odt Shotten walked and Pratt SIM
gled to centre.
on q run and bunt play Gus Williams
dropped the daintiest sort Of a mt on
the third base line and the bases were
filed. Clarence Walker singled TO left,
bringing home Shotten and Pratt. Will
iams was out IN trying 10 steal third
base. and Pieh tossed out Leary.
Baumgardner Wabbles in Fourth.
Baumgardner is a sedate and serl-
Gus right-hander and Hickey showed
anguish and surprise when the pitcher
grew unsteady in the fourth inning. In
fact. he gave him much too short
shrift. Cree drove one through Pratt,
ard after Mullen had flied 20 centre
Cook received base on balls. Sweeney
hunted and Austin's throw TO Leary
was a bit wide, filling the bases. Baum

strikes on Maisel. and then the little

Bill James. tall young man from
the Pacific Coast, hurried 10 the box,
and sent Sweeney and Maisel one base
further on their journey by making a
wild pitch. Caldwell came in 10 bat for
Pieh and busted single down the
first base line and Maisel and Sweeney
registered two runs, which put the
Yankees IN the lead.
Carroll Brown. who made short

Yankees on Saturday, took up the
pitching burden for Chance in the nth

Yankees added 20 their lead in this
inning when one run was scored on
Cree's single. Mullen's sacrifice and
Cooks hit 20 right.
Weilman. who is even taller than
James. took the mound for st. Louis IN
the seventh, and in the eighth the
Yankees found him for a run. Brown
did II. Cook was hit and Sweeney
sacrificed. and then came the pitcher
with clean hit 10 left which scored
the runner.
Rickey's rally came in the ninth.
