Knowlson smiles just because he
likes TO throw a baseball, and the
tougher the outlook the wider is his
grin. He saved his broadest smile
for the ninth inning. when the Yam
KEGS had three men on bases with one
out and one run needed to tie the
SovIe, and ne saved his broadest
curves as well. High went out on
little pop foul and Peckinpaugh
famed.
Knowlson was in trouble constant
" during the final two innings, but
Mack let him go the route. Possibly
ne hated 70 disturb young man who
seemed 70 be having such a good time,
but more likely he was swayed by the
fact that the recruit kept his nerve un-
der fire and never lost control. No
wonder Knowlson IS enjoying him self
Connie Mack rescued him from Ridg-
way. which is the capital Of Elk County,
Penn, and he says that Philadelphia Is
the gayest city be has ever seen.
None Of Donovans pitchers did any
smiling. Bill Donovan does all Of the
grinning for the Yankees. and of late
he has cut down the supply. Marty
McHale. the ballad singer; Brown and
Cottrell were all required TO lose the
game Mostly il was the fault of Nc
Hale. who is said 10 be in splendid
voice at present. The Athletics scored
SIX Of their seven runs in the first
four innings.
The Yankees finished strongly. Dono-
van used three pinch hitters in the last
two innings and each singled, but they
might as well have been so many lock
smiths at work upon a stable door for
all the good their efforts did. Cald-
well, Cree and Baumann were the sue
cessful substitutes. The game was
loosely played on both sides.
The Athletics put two runners over
the plate in the first inning. Murphy
walked and Strunck sacrificed, but when
Maisel fumbled the ball he reached first
in safety. Schang whacked a double
over first and scored Murphy. Schang,
by the way, was a third baseman before
he was a catcher, and from the manner
in which he played yesterday there is
no reason why he should not make as
great a reputation for himself at third
as he did behind the bat. Relieved of
the strain of catching he is likely TO
hit better than ever He made three
hits Yesterday and they were en-
phatic Following Schang's double, La
ioie hit to Maisel, and Strunk beat the
throw 10 the plate.
The Yankees tied the score in the
second inning. Cook drove hot liner
toward left but Schang climbed up and
got il. Hartzell walked and went TO
second on a wild pitch. Boone singled
20 left, and Hartzell came home. Boone
took third on a bad throw TO the plate
by Walsh. Sweeney hunted, but if a
squeeze play had been contemplated
Boone was not party to the plan and
Knowison threw him out at the plate.
McHale beat out an inheld hit, sending
Sweeney TO second, and Highs hit 10
right brought him home.
The Athletics went after McHale hard
in the third inning. Schang singled and
Lajoie brought him across the plate
with a double. Mclnnis beat out an in
field hit The little first baseman went
20 second on an infeld out and came
home on the heels o the Frenchman
when Kopf hit safely to right. McHale
gave way az this point to Carroll Brown
who cannot even carry tune. Just
the same, Brown prevented further
scoring by striking out Knowlson.
Maisel doubled in the latter half Of
the third. and moved up base when
Knowlson baked Pipps single scored
him nit by Murphy, Browns error
and Walsh's single TO left gave the
Athletics still another run in the fourth
and eft the score at 6 TO 3. Laps
home run against the right field facade
in the eight put Mack's men four runs
10 the good. and the plight Of the Yam
KEGS seemed hopeless.
The eighth and ninth changed the
aspect of affairs even though II did not
alter the result Boone walked TO be
gin the Yankees half Of the eighth, and
Caldwell was sent in to bat for Swee-
ney. The pincher beat out a hit to
McInnis. Cree batted for Brown and
hit long, clean single to centre which
nut Boone across the plate and sent
Caldwell 10 third Daley ran for Cree
and was forced at second by High, but
Caldwell -cored on the play.
Kopf made a fearful muF OF Peckin-
psugh's high Ay, but Knowlson only
erinned and got the next two batters.
The hardest test for the young pitcher
came in the latter half of the ninth.
Cook began with a clean single TO left,
and after Hartzell mad flied to second
Boone drove q hit 20 centre which al
lowed Cook 70 reach second. Nuna-
maker tapped TO Kopf, who fumbled,
and the bases were full. Paddy Bau-
mann bated for Cottrell and drove
single TO Schang, which scored Cook.
This hit was a savage grounder, and
Schang saved the game for the Attn
letics by knocking down the ball even
though he could not field It. Tho bases
we're still full and only one run was
needed TO win Highs pop fly and
Peckinpsugh's strike-Out did not pro,
duce them. Fourteen Yankees In all
we're left on bases.
