game for the Yankees. came within
three innings Of reaching the Hall of
No-Hit Fame. Nothing remotely re-
sembling a wallop materiaized with the
Indians until the seventh. Then three
Of them came across in a row, one Of
them being a home run into the right
field stands by Graney.
The Yankee dress parade started
with Magee out Sergeant Bagby, who
was throwing for the Indians and who
was reputed 70 be poison TO the New
York Americans. gave Hugh High
base on balls. Maisel, the next up,
rolled one over 10 Evans, who made
nice throw to Chapman. Now, II
Chapman had held the ball and
made the throw to first he would have
made an easy double and the
Yanks would not have scored that in
ming, and perhaps not any inning
succeeding. but Chapman, after grasp
ing the ball in his eager mitts, dropped
il and both men were safe.
Bagby Disheartened
This astonishing eccentrIcity on the
part of his support seemed either to
dishearten or annoy Sergeant Bagby,
who promptly passed Pipp and filled
the bases. After passing Pipp, Bagby
found himself facing j. Franklin Baker.
Facing Baker with the bases filed IS
a sight calculated TO awe the average
pitcher, so Bagby passed Baker and let
in one run.
Tim Hondryx then appeared on the
firing line. and Tim Is no soft marx.
lie demonstrated this by driving a MT
through third, scoring Maisel Peck
inpaugh slammed a second mt against
the left field wall scoring Plpp and
Baker.
BY this time Lee Foil began 20 sus-
pcct that IL was not Sergeant Bagby ;
day for duty. No other pitcher was
warmed UP at the time. so iris Speaker
came in from centre field 10 discuss the
war with Umpire Connolly while Gould
was being taken of the ice and put into
condition for the mound.
Umpire Connolly was being highly
entertained by the epigrams Of Speaker
and the other two superfluous umpires
gathered around 10 hear words Of Wis
dom. Wild William Donovan suddenly
interrupted the party and demanded TO
know if the rules permitted time belng
taken out while a pitcher was being
warmed up.
Umpire Connolly said that he had
never thought Of that. or words 70 the
same effect. and ordered the game TO
proceed Gould went into the box, and
Walters maced him for q hit TO a part
of the centre field from which Iris
Speaker happened TO be absent. Thls
brought Hendryx home Caldwell was
thrown out by Chapman and Peckln-
paugh scored.
Gould Goes Wild
At this point Gould began TO throw
wildly. lie was even wilder than his
predecessor. whaling Magee, High and
Naisel in a row. This not only brought
in a run, but it left the bases filed
with Wallie Pipp up.
Gould seemed particularly soft at
this time. and Wallie cast his eagle
eyes around the fences TO see just
where a long swipe would do the most
good. lie usually swats TO right or
centre. but the agile and aggressive Mr..
Speaker was covering both fields, so
there seemed no thoroughfare.
Suddenly Wallie's eye fell upon sign
on fence in left field. IL read 10 the
effect that any player hitting the said
sign would be given a collapsible vest
pocket automobile. Pipp has no car
in his garage. This looked like the
golden opportunity for him 70 secure
n gasolene consumer and at the same
time 70 bring in three runs which
would be very acceptable 90 Wild VIII
lam Donovan. despite the fact that wild
William had already been presented
with seven of those things.
Wallie leaned gracefully on the ball
and IL shot out 20 the fence with the
accuracy Of a three-inch shell. Graney
darted backward at the same time. and
lust as the ball was about 70 kiss the
sign he spearod il with one hand. ms
stopped three more runs and forced
Waliie Pipp 20 ride on Mr. Shonts S
cars for some time 20 come.
Caldwell in Trim
Ray Caldwell, the temperamental tel
ccrapher. seemed 20 have everything
necessary for pitching yesterday. At
the start Of the seventh inning some
body arose 10 remark, They maven
cot "A hit of Caldwell yet. He may
pitch no-hit game.
Hardly had these fatal words been
uttered when Wambsganss, the Human
Consonant. cracked a hit out 20 left
