OF MUCH TROUBLE
Pipp and Iris Make Cir
cult Clouts-Game Full
of Thrills.
BY W. J. MACBETH.

Charley Mullen, the Dlue-eyeo p4Oiu
handy man Of Wild Bill Donovan's in
field cripples, injected a sound rap into
Yesterdays fray at the Polo Grounds
inst where it would do the most good
for advertising purposes and rolled the
new start Of the Yankees into five con-
secutive victories.
This whack, aimed in malice afore-
thought to a section Of the greensward
that even the nimble-footed Trls
Sneaker could not reach, fell with two
down in the thirteenth inning of one OF
the prettiest pitching duels Of the year
II was won by Urban Shocker. the In
ternational League wizard, over Lam
beth. Of Topeka, colt who took the
measure Of the Yankees for big
league debut back in Cleveland short
time ago.
If Mr.. Mullen continues to behave as
he has in the last couple Of days ne

known brewery up around the low Nihe-
tics and Third Avenue. Or even

dividends per annum. The colonel ana
The captain in the Joy Of victory are
fast reaching the state Where they
don't care what happens TO business
II was Mullen's pinch double IN
late inning of Thursdays game that
trot+ed count for the home boys
when they were almost resigned 10 tne

run.

Graneys Throw Short.
Graney's throw pulled O'Neill yard

would have won in nine innings. But
when ONeill pursued the PROSTATE

goal the umpire-in-chief reversed him

Those Indians stepped right out after
Shocker. whose wildness Indicated lack
Of work. Graney opened with a SIN

bunt and forced Graney at second with
the aid of Peck. Urban was so anX-

that he passed Iris. Smiths line sim

The Yankees got this one back in
their second. Pip walked and Bau-

a two-base hit to left.
Speaker shot the Indians into the
lead a second time. With one out in
the third, Iris took toe hold for one
Of Shocker's slow offerings and lined
il into the lower right stand. Pretty
as this home run was, Walter Pipp
dimmed il under like conditions in New
York's fourth. Pipp's wallop cleared
the barrier fifty feet further than that
Of Iris.
Cleveland Hurried in its half.
Wambsganss walked with only one out,
and Turner followed with a hit TO

From here to the thirteenth on both
sides there was pitching "as is pitch

The next three couldn't get him over
Walters and Peck cut down would-be
purloiners in both the eleventh and
twelfth To get ONeill in the elev-
enth Peckinpaugh made one of the
most remarkable plays ever seen in
New York. The little catcher's throw
was four feet wide. Roger turned his
back for a back-handed catch with his
gloved hand and I'll in a swoop
reached down and tagged the runner
Is he tried TO hook in.
