The most annoying thing about the
defeat of Cole was the fact that 1t was
accomplished by strangers. If Joe
Jackson had hammered the ball over
the 81" structure it would have been
regarded as more or less matter OF
course, and there would have been no
complaint. Terry Turner or Chapman
might have delivered the fatal blow
and caused nothing more than mild re-
gret. but Terry was out of the game
with an injured ankle. The three men
who hit the king safely were Vine
Evans and one Of the Smiths. Inc TRIO
is not known TO the authorities mere
abouts.
Wilie's hit was the longest. II came
in the sixth inning, and the ball struck
the upper row of boxes for a home run.
The most useful drive was made by
Evans in the ninth. SOuthworth drew
a mass al the beginning of the inning
and went to second when Willie sacri-
fred Evans drove the ball over
Highs head for two bases and South
worth scored the tieing run. Chapman
hit to Boone. who fumbled so badly
that Evans came all the way nome
with the lun which won.
Cole is persistent player. NOT
once during the afternoon did ne sue
coed i'm putting his left foot INTO ms
mouth, but that did not prevent MN
from trying The involved. pitching
motion of he king is one OF the rea-
sons for mis- success. With new
dance step introduced before each 0e-
livery the batter is charmed INTO at
ko tho lOnU lott toe
set behind the right ear and wonders
where and how the man on the mouhd
will get il next
While ne is wondering the ball comes
across the plate and the bcwlldered
umpire calls II a strike. Cole allowed
ONLY three hits yesterday, and II ne
had not run out Of dance steps there
is reason TO believe that he might have
escaped with no hits at all.
Hagerman, who opposed Cole. is said
10 be Mormon. but there was noth-
ing in his pitching which would tend
either to confirm or deny the report.
A pinch hitter replaced Hagerman in
the ninth and Walker finished the
game.
No runs were scored IN the first five
innings and few men reached base, but
in the sixth Willie put the ball into the
stands for a home run. The Yankees
tied the score in the latter half OF the
inning. Alexander walked, and reached
second while Evans was throwing out
Cole High singled TO centre and Alex
ander scored
A good throw would have made a
put-out at the plate almost certain, but
Wilie's try was ever so wide. EGan
shouted his disapproval all the way out
to centre field. forgetting for the mo-
ment that IL was Willie who. only mo-
ment before, had made a home run. A
hit of that sort should cntltle player
TO a few blunders.
The Yankees scored once in the
seventh and took the lead. which they
we're TO lose later on. With one out,
Pipp flied to Chapman. Cook, Hartzell
and Boone singled. filling the bases.
Alexander sent sacrifice fly TO jack
son and Cook scored, but Cole struck
out and left two team mates stranded.
Raw Fisher, who cannot even two
step. rambled through the first game
effectively enough without the use OF
dance steps, new or old. Speed, and
not motion, was Rays dependence lie
allowed six hits, but as he received
errorless support Cleveland gave him
no great scare at any part of the con-
test. Not more than one mt came IN
any lIIllEs anu Ni'4e N''N -''
as far as third.
Sam Jones was effective enough for
all ordinary purposes, but the Yankees
managed to find him for a run IN the
second, and again in the fifth.
The first run, which proved to be
enough for victory, was scored when
Boone walked, reached second on
single by Nunamaker, advanced TO third
on tumble by Chapman and came
home when Maisel singled to centre.
