of Speed in Series with
World Champions

Boston. July 2.-The Yankees are
getting no better fast, no matter how
you figure X. They showed less speed
in to-day's farewell at Boston than in
any OF the ether games OF the series.
The other four games they managed
TO lose; only one Of them went into
overtime. and il took only ten innings
to lose that. To-day the umpires
crossed Donovan's boys by calling the
game on account Of darkness at the end
of the eleventh, with the score tied at
4 10 !.
II you think New York didn't try its
derndest TO lose just grasp this The
boys from Broadway gathered fifteen
hits. But the boys from Broadway left
no less than fourteen runners msrooned.
Then, if anything more is needed, Old
Home Run Baker stole base. He can
be forgiven for such foolhardy desper-
alton. though. for evidently he wasn't
Just responsible. lie wasn't the Yam
kee Home Run Baker at all. Why. this
Baker got four hits, one a double, IN
six times at bat.
Left-handers are supposed to be poi
son TO the Red Sox. Most good left,
handlers are. Wild BiPs southpaws
evidently think there is some kind Of
baseball strike on. They simply will
not work. They perform once in =
While, but work never. There was
George Mogridgc this afternoon. No
one could suspect George Of sinister
intentions. But he wouldn't work. He
just got in thers and threw up the ball
to the Boston batters. They did the
rest.
Mogridge Yields All Runs
George was torn Off for all of the
world champions runs. He tarried six
and third innings. and during that
time yielded eight OF the eleven hits.
Shoeker and Russell, who followed, had
the Red Sox bufa.oed. Either one
could have won with run.
But so soon as Urban got the job IN
place Of Mocridge, who couldn't hold
the Sox, aud tripped up the champions,
nobody would rush TO his rescue. lie
was left with the whole enemy on his
hands. and left fiat.
As 70 the details of the battle, they
reeked with wasted opportunities on
the part of the visitors. In those inn
ings when the Yankees did score they
got only single counts instead OF clus-
tiers. Maisel walked in the third and
ran all the way to third on Peck's out.
Neither Hendryx nor Pipp could get
him the rest of the way.
Miller doubled to left 10 start the
sixth and held the bag on Nunamaker's
Texas Lacquer TO right. Nogridge hit
into a double play. putting Miller on
third. Barry threw out Maisel. That
sort of base running predomnated for
New York. A half dozen kindred oc-
casons might be mentioned.
New York got a run in the second.
Baker doubled, but was run down when
Magee tapDed TO Scott, delaying his
fate until Lee reached second Miller
singled for the run. The Sox came
right back at Mogridge for three. Gard
ner singled and Lewis was hit by a
pitched ball. Walker sacrificed. Then
Scott hit IN the two. Scott got sec.
ond on Agnew's out and scored on
Shores single.
Score Again in Fourth
The Yanks' second run came in the
fourth on pass to Nagee, Miller's sec
rifce and Nunamakcr's single. An
other was added in the fifth, when Mai
sci, Peckinpaugh and Hendryx all
singled with none out.
Each side scored in the seventh. with
two out, the Yankees filed the bases,
Magee being hit after P:pp AID Baker
had singled. Bader passed Miller,
forcing the run home. In the second
half Scott tripled with one out, and
scored on Agnew's single. This last
blow drove Mogrdge from the box.
