As Jimmy lsaminger puts It, wen
YOU can't expect the MacSmen to VIII
all the time
After their slump on Saturday, wher
they won two games, the Athletics have
apparently started after the recorC
again. and the Yanks yesterday were
more than willing TO impart a farewell
push by the score of 20 2.
Bob Shawkey was tossed in against
Carolina collegian by the name OF
Williams. The Yanks assessed Will
Jams for twelve hits, embracing home
runs by the famous Alliterative Twins
Peckinpaugh and Pipp. Wally smashed
his four-base wallop with two on IN
tn third canto. He pounded the ball
so far into left centre that ne had no
trouble romping merrily from base to
base.
Roger emptied his homer into the
lie field seats in the seventh. scoring
Shawkey ahead of him. So while the
Yanks ran up twelve hits against four,
they needed both home runs to win. as
the two circuit smashes both came with
two out and were directly responsible
for FIVE of the six local runs.
Fifteen for Shawkey.
While the Yanks were mauling the
everlasting padding out Of Williams,
Shawkey spun out one Of his usual
games. running his total up TO fifteen
victories for the year against ten de-
feats. Shawkey has won four more
games than Hick Cullop, although Bob
has dropped ten contests to Nick's sole
defeat.
Until the Yanks gave him something
TO work on. Shawkey had the Mackmen
in a highly precarious condition. lie
had them stopped with one hit through
the fifth, but when Pipp set his home
run adrift and still another tally was
added an inning or so later on, the eX-
Mackman decided TO let his old pals
emerge from the deadly trance INTO
which his fast ball had thrown them.
Aragon's error and a double by Amos
Strunk scored the first Mackian tally,
while Amos fired another double in the
ninth, driving Jimmy Walsh across.
Two Of the leading fielding features
Of the day fell to the lot of Nap LaJole,
the eminent Frenchman who is now IN
dulging in his twentieth year. Larry
is the games veteran, having served
two months longer than Honus Wag-
ner, the Pittsburgh Ruin. He is no
longer a pinkfaced recruit, but he Is
still the most graceful inhelder in the
game. Twice yesterday he scooped up
hard smashes without the semblance OF
effort, merely dipping up the ball IN
the liquid, careless fashion that has
helped TO make him famous.
No wonder he has lasted twenty
years, for the wear and tear upon his
system has been far less than it would
have been upon the over-anxlous, ner-
vous type fighting with both hands for
the play. 49,,
Shawkey allowed but two hits until
the ninth, when Walsh and Struns
added another pair.
Dizzy Day for Arragon.
Angel Arragon, the demon Cuban, hat
