ing Into Third Base, Sus-
tains Fractured Ankle.
PLAY TWO GAMES TODAY
Harper and Gallia Slated to Oppose

Holiday Sketch.

Frank Gilhooley, better known as
Flash" on account OF his speed, who is
leading the New York Yanks in about
every department OF the game, broke his
right ankle while sliding to third base
Yesterday and will be Of no use TO the
club for six weeks. or possibly two
months.
The accident occurred in the eleventh
inning when Gilhooley, going TO third
base on Jamieson's poor throw TO the
plate, caught his spikes in the bag in
such manner as to throw most Of the
weight on his right leg The ankle
snapped like a pipe stem and he had to
be carried off the field.
Summonins physician from the
stands a superficial examination plainly
showed the fracture. and GilhooIey was
at once taken TO the Emergency Hospital
where the broken bones were set and put
into plaster cast.
Fortunately, the Yankees are well for
tilted with outfeld talent. as Roy Hart
zell will be in Gilhoo<ey's place when a
right-hander works, and Paddy Bauman
when south-paw is on the mound. but
the loss Of Gilhooley is sure to handicap
the team a whole lot

The defeat at the hznds Of Walter
Johnson sustained by the Nationals in
New York recently was very much in
the nature of a huke. but yesterday
victory was well earned. johnson was
at his best: so was Caldwell 1t must

It's a shame that Mcbride is drawing
q suspension when he is so badly needed
for these games with New York are i'm
poTtant, and It was hoped that the Grir-
men could regain some lost ground, still
three more games remain TO be played
and there is yet a chance TO atone for
the defeat Of yesterday.
Joe Gedeon robbed Jameson OF a base
hit in the seventh inning when he raced
over toward first base and speared Jamie
sons sharp grounder with his gloved
hand. Walter johnson followed with q
! single and there is no telling what might
have happened had Jamieson's hot gone
safe.
Carl Sawyer also saved Walter John.
son little embarrassment in the Yanks'
seventh when he pulled down Pipp's hard
grounder, getting the ball with his bare
hand and forcing High at second base.
The Red Sox, by defeating the Philadel.
phia Athletics, pulled up On even terms
with the Nationals yesterday and both
clubs are tied for fourth place in the
mad scramble for the pennant
The Washington outfielders played deep
for Pipp and Baker and il was also no
ticed that the Yank outer pickets were
over In the next county when Walter
johnson came to bat, which. by the way,
helped johnson to a base hit in the sew
enth, the ball dropping just short Of
Highs reach.
1t was also a fact that neither Baker
or Pipp drove the ball over the green
painted brick wall in right field.
