Sensational Youngster
Gets Credit, Though
Taken Out in Ninth.
RED SOX MAKE
DETERMINED RALLY
Nick Cullop Proves Ready
When Danger Threatens in
Final Inning.
lBy Telegraph 10 The Tribunal


Boston, May Cliff Markle, the
young Highlander from the Texas
League, is still unbeaten in the Ameri-
can League this season. He faced the
Boston Red Sox again this afternoon,
and although Wild Bill Donovan
deemed it expedient TO remove him
from the box when danger threatened
in the ninth inning, Cliff receives
credit for the victory Of the Yankees,
which was won by score of 5 10 4.
The Yankees retained their hold on
third place as a result of the victory.
The Red Sox rallied gamely and well
in the ninth inning, and had MeNslly
kept. his wits about him, instead or
dreaming of the hour, there is no tell
ing just what might have happened.
Two men were out and run needed TO
tie the score, but he dozed off and was
npped by Nick Cullop's snap throw TO
Joe Gedeon. So the game closed.
For eight innings Markle pitched
stylish game. In that time he expert
enced just one trying inning. That was
in the third frame, when three hits,
scientifically punched, produced one
run. Another came as the result of
base on balls, a hit and a couple Of
infield outs. But in the ninth the hop
left his fast one and his curve no
longer swooped out of reach of the
Boston bats. Two doubles and a single
rung out with the rapidity of machine
gun fire, and Donovan derricked him in
hurry, sending Bob Shawkey in TO
stop the ravages. AS told before, Nick
got McNally asleep off second base, and
all thought of Red Sox conquest dis
appeared into the thin ether.
Foster Knocked Out.
George Foster opposed the young
Texan and he was hammered out OF
the box in a hurry. For five innings
Foster pitched and with extremely in
different results. His offerings were
dubbed freely and Carrigan took him
out. Herbert ]. Pennock, formerly OF
burden. He was immeasurably better
than his illustrious predecessor and
prevented scoring altogether, while he
held the hitting to a minimum.
The Yankees started the task OF
scoring in the second inning. Joe
Gedeon doubled TO the left field fence
H..
Hoblitzell. A moment later Gede
scored, for Peckinpaugh bingled solidl,
to right field. Nunamaker kept up tn,
good work with a line smash which
sent Peck to third and the last named
scored on a wild pitch. Nunamakel
went to third on the hesve, but nc
more scoring was done.
That lead of the Yankees was short
lived indeed. In the last half of thu
second frame hits by Walker. Gardner
and Thomas filled the bases and a bali
by Markle scored the first named ath
lete. In the third Janvrin walked
Hoblitzell singled him to third, anc
when Baker threw out Walker Janvrir
registered at the plate.
In the fifth, however, the Yankees
won the game. Peckinpaugh singled
and stole second quite neatly. He went
TO third on Nunamaker's single Cd
Fosters meat hand and scored on Gil
hooley's hit TO Walker. Now, Walker
under ordinary conditions is quite a
fielder, but he fumbled this hit and
Nunamaker went to third and Gil
hooley ambled TO the midway. They
both counted at the plate when Lee
Magee wslloped the pill into right field
for a base. Magee died at second try
ing 10 stretch the hit.
Disorder In the Ninth.
Order was pretty we'll preserved IN.
Ill the ninth inning, when the Red
Sox broke loose. Lewis doubled to left
and Gardner doubled TO centre, scor-
ing him. The latter took third when
Barry singled to left. Right then and
there Donovan took Markle out Of tbs
box and sent Shswkey in. Agnew sacri-
feed and Cady, hitting In place OF
Pennock, drove out q single, scoring
Gardner McNally ran for Cady. Gull
lop replaced Shawkey at the same
time.
Hooper sent a hopper down the line
to Frank Baker and Barry was out ct
the plate, and a moment later Cullop
caught McNally of second base.
The Boston players had lot OF fun
Raging Owens, the umpire, but In the
second inning he stopped the game and
sent three or four OF them off the
grounds.
Fritz Maisel made the spectacular
play Of the game right in the first
frame, when he rushed back to the
fence to pull down a drive from the
bat Of Hoblitzell. Gardner made q
couple Of great plays at third base,
while Baker lived up to expectations.
The score follows:
NEW YORK "A. L.. BOSTON "a. L..
