So well did Donovan team pm! !S'
.,rdsv that It could have spotted the
Athletics Collins, Baker, Plank
,,s q Bender. Those gentlemen being
,Sssnt. the contest was not close.
Raw Caldwell pitched badly. He gave
,igbt bases on balls, but so long as he
IA not force men acros the plate the
Yankees did not care. They appreci-
,,.d the presence Of a runner or two
On the bases, for such aliens made
,o.siols three brilliantly executed dou-
81 rlays From Peckinpaugh TO
ZOO, 10 Pipp may not trip smoothly
=. ,ueh for metre, puJ It is perfect
postry Of motion. One Of those who was
doubled up was !-mos 0Jrunk, as fast
runner as ever set foot for first. :,
On the offensive the team continued
70 show surprising strength. Shawkey,
pressler and Davis pitched for the
Athletics yesterday and e.! were hit
hard. Bresser, a left-hander, found
,hst he had no special power over
ponovan's many south-sided batsmen.
BETTER than anything which goes
down in box score, the Yankees have
The will 10 win. Its great to be young
and a Yankee" Take Lutte Boone, for
instance. In the third inning he pumped
the ball into the right field stand for
home run. Home runs, with their at
,endant socks and everything, are al
wsys pleasant, but nobody ever got
more genuine enjoyment out OF INT
than did Boone He came arouLd the
bases with a whoop and a hurrah, and
as he galloped across the plate he took
his cap and tossed it high in the air:
In days Of old the Yankees never tossed
anything much but bail games.
Boone's teammates all expressed
their profound regard for him across
his shoulder blades. When ball players
get 70 congratulating each other that
way il is almost time for the manager
70 begin TO worry as 70 which pitcher
he will use in the first game Of the
worlds series.
The Athletics presented a striking
contrast. Who would think Of going up
70 pat Larry Lajoie on the back be-
cause he made a hit? If any such prac-
tee had been INDUCED in consistently
the Frenchman wouldn't have much
back left
Larry never did kick up his heels to
much extent. and no one should expect
an elderly French gentleman to display
any particular enthusiasm at retriev-
ing balls thrown by Teuton named
Sehsng and associating in infeld
equality with a fellow named Kopf. At
any rate, Larry did not show much en-
thusiasm The rumors as TO his in
ability 10 cover ground seem TO have
been q bit exaggerated. He walked to
and from the bench at the end of each
inning without assistance.
Not all the good playing was con-
fined TO the Yankees. Stufy Mclnnis
made one amazing stop OF a widely
| thrown ball in the eighth inning, and
@hang displayed much ability in
4 Touching runners at the plate. Schang's
\ tystem is 10 catch the man between his
knees as he slides in, and then hold
him until the ball arrives.
Although il was the brilliance Of the
Yankees as a team which was most
conspicuous yesterday, Maiseps contri-
button 10 the afternoons entertain
nent was noteworthy. The little me-
,eor singled four times in five trips TO
The plate. He stole only once. Third
vas bis goal, and he slid 70 safety IN
splie Of perfect throw TO head him off.
4 Caldwell had two men out in the first
ming before the Athletics touched
I'm up. Strunk tripled to deep left
eehtte and scored on Schang's clean
snash 70 left. The Yankees could do
20 more than tie that count in their
hsli OF the inning.
:, Aaisels single and two passes hiled
ne bases. and Fritz came home while
flpp was forcing High. Hartzell was
,sllpped at the plate on Cooks tap 70
nap, and when Peckinpaugh singled 70
Ieii beautiful throw by Jimmy Walsh
'at on Pipp at the plate.
Donovan's men gained a commanding
leao IN the second inning on Sweeney's
Jingle, pass TO Caldwell, MaisePs hi,
narizelPs sacrifice and Schang's poor
prov, which hit High in the back as
ee was striding down to first. THIS
o0moination netted three runs.
Inc Athletics scored again in the
1fa inning, but the Yankees length.
.ned their lead in the latter half OF
we frame, when Cook singled and
scored on Boone's home run. Caldwell
l'eioed third run in the fourth inn
s, out gave no more, although he
s,.ehed unsteadily throughout. Double
: Psys Attoned for his wildness.
Inc Yankees scored every now and
