Yankees Get Many Hits,
but Gather Fen Runs
Wasted Opportunities by Locals Give Browns 5 to a
Victory in First Game of Twin Bill-New Workers.
Come From Behind and Win Second, 4 to 2.
~ q. LEE.

Perhaps We should have been we'll
satisfied with an even split over those
Infatuated Browns on the Polo Grounds
yesterday. especially after the way they
recently chewed up the Yanks in 81.
Looey. but Just the same that New York
defeat In the first game left an urly
dark brown taste In our mouth. II was
an awful bitter thing TO swallow. War
correspondents who saw the Yanks get
ohtcllered six straight In Missouri late
last month say all those half dozen de-
teats tasted the same way. Perhaps
that's why they call them the Browns.
The fanks punched out ten hits In the
frst four innings OF the I 80 game. and
then wasted them as though they were
as easy to get as green apples. Only
three runs were cooked out of all these
hits. and they were not enough to stayo
on n late Missouri rush. The Jonesles
won In the ninth, when the usually alert
walters dropped a peg at the plate. the
score being s 10 I. Donovan's lads then
came from behind In the flag end Of the
second section. and batted out a 4 TO 2

1t was a long afternoon. mates, the
show lasting from 40 TO 6.i5. Both
TINS consumed over two hours Of good,
valuable New York time, though neither
ran into extra innings. The double
header cleaned up all the Yank post
poncmefts. both home and abroad. The
first game was llvened by a free for al,
battle royal In the left wing Of the grand
stand. II was a merry row. First only

lots OF volunteers. and everybody started
