DOnOvan's Men Win and
Build Up Their Bat
ting, Too.

Philadelphia, June 30.-The Athletics
are not so much in favor OF the New
York Yankees, although there was a
time once when they used 70 swear by
them. That was in the days when Nc
lnnis, Collins, Barry and Baker, along
with the other members OF that famous
team, ravaged the American League. In
those days the White Elephants used TO
look forward 20 a series with the Yam
KEGS with joyful anticipation. for a
couple or more victories, according 10
the weather. were sure TO be won. But
since that time Connie Mack has dis
mantled his machine, sold the parts
about the country and started upon the
engaging pastime of building up a
worthy successor. He has much 10 do
before the task may be called finished.
In these later days the Yankees look
, forward 70 their lit g pleasantries with
the Mastodons, a. the Philadelphia fans
are pleased 10 call the newer Mackian
machine. for they do most Of the win
ming. They scored another victory this
afternoon, this time by a score Of
to 0.
Walloping the Mastodons has become
the fad of the New Workers. To-day's
victory was the third straight, and was
merely continuation Of the victorious
campaign they have waged In the last
nine games played he Yankees have
won eight, which IS fair enough.
ianks Are Thorough.
The Yankees went about their task
Of winning in thorough and painstak-
ing manner. They tore into the offer
ngs Of Bullet Joe Bush for eleven
hits, making them count for seventeen
bases. Frank Baker got a couple OF
doubles, while Frank Gilhooley got a
triple, and so did Wallie Pipp. Not
only were the hits of frequent occur
renee, but they were timely. The out
fielders of the Athletics are complain
ing that they find it impossible to keep
up TO playing weight, so hard and far
do they have TO race in pursuit of the
rollicking cleanup drives.
Ray Fisher held forth on the mound
for tho New York men. and, while
he was hit safely eight times, the
Athletics ran the bases with little
luck and less judgment. Amos Strunk.
who IS hitting all pitching with great
force and telling effect, got a triple
and two singles this afternoon. II
would seem that Amos has designs on
the throne OF Cobb
Fisher Well Supported
The Yankees played errorless ball
behind Fisher. with Joe Gedeon lead
ing in the defence. The second base
man had eleven chances and he &C
cepted them all faultlessly. The
other men were not nearly so busy, but
they all did their share in faultless
style. Lawry. the young college boy,
turned in the best play of the game,

first inning. High walked, but was

scored Magee, and when Meyer threw
wild Gedeon also crossed the plato.
