1t was not a particularly impressive
home run, however. IL was one OF
those high flies that just volplaned
into the stands Pipp has soaked the
ball much harder in that direction and
got only a single for himself. But.
whether the homer was deserved or
not, it took all the fight out of the
Browns. The other two runs come
under the head of unnecessary slaugh-
ter.
The victory following two over the
naughty White Sox seems TO have put
new LIE into the Yankees. Wild VIII
lam Donovan, their stalwart leader.
had been SO depressed up TO few
days ago that he had taken TO litera-
ture in despair He contracted the
habit Of reading all Of the sporting
pages, and it was beginning to tell
upon him, sourlng his naturally sunny
disposition.
When the swpe by Pipp descended
gently on 20 the right-feld stands
Donovan decided that he would no
longer be bookworm. He threw his
began to take a new interest in the
pennant race.
Wild Bill Optimistic
Although the field was still clut-
tered up with umpires. three Of them
count 'em. three-still distguring
Henry Fabian's lawn, Donovan took
bigger and more cheerful view OF
life. A couple Of decisions that made
the stands give an imitation of Ro-
man mob did not even get a rumble
out of William. He was so far ahead
and so optimistic as 20 the chances for
the Yankees yesterday that he would
not deign TO even address one of the
trio.
The three runs which accrued TO
the Yankees in the first inning were
gathered with ease and alacrity. Hem
dryx got base on balls and went to
second on Magee's sacrifice. Fritz
Maisel placed a nice bunt along the
third base line, sending Hendryx 10
third.
1t was then that Walter Pipp re-
called that he had not yet dumped the
ball into the right field stands this
| season. In fact, Baker had been hold
ing the Yankee home run record for
the Polo Grauncs this season. Pipp
adjusted his sights and shot for the
stands. The ball dropped in among the
spectators, and the lean first sacker
trotted around the route, bringing
Aendryx and Maisel home ahead Of
/ him.
The Yankees got another run in their
half OF the second inning because Of
an error by Sisler, the perfect ball
player who once had more teams claim
ing him than Homer had cities claim
ing him. This utterly superfuous tally
came without the formality of single
hit
Peckinpaugh got htse on balls and
Walters sen: him TO second with sac
rihce Robert Shawkey, the best golf
player on the Yankee team, drove one
at Sisler, who went after the ball with
cne mitt. but IL got through him. Peck
inpaugh came in from second before il
could be retrieved
Walters Beats Blunt
The Yankees got one more in the
seventh. The consensus of opinion is
that they should have had but two. but
as Umpire Nallin decreed otherwise,
il was an active ard somewhat heated
session. Walters laid down nice bunt
10 Pratt and beat II TO the bag. After
Shawkey had popped out, Hendryx con-
nected for nifty swipe 20 left.
Leopold Hoernschmeyer, who has
been fattening a once lean batting aver
age OF late, drove a pretty two-bagger
to left. scoring Walters and sending
Hendryx TO third. Fritz Maisel ground
ed to Pratt, who threw TO SEVERED. II
looked as though Hendryx had slid
under the outstretched arm OF SEVERED
But Nallin called Hendryx out. That
practically ended drive that threat
ened 10 roll Fielder Jones's cripples
into pancakes.
The Browns got their solitary run in
the fourth inning. SEVERED clouted
double 10 left. He scored on a neat
single by Marssns, the corpulent Cuban
insurrecto. Marsans was caught a Sec
ond later while he was doing peace
fully few yards off first base.
The Browns started in the sixth, but
they got nowhere in particular because
Of a weird exhibition Of base-running,
combined with some commendable vigil
lance on the part of the Ysnks.
Jacobson got on by forcing Sisler
SEVERED was given passport 20 the
bag Marsans singled 70 right. and
Jacobson was rounding third when
Fielder Jones gave him the Office 70
halt. M2rsans continued on his way,
and Jacobson then started for home.
Pipp. who was pursuing the insurrecto.
threw TO Walters, heading off Jacobson.
Walters started Jacobson back 20
third and tossed the ball to Baker. who
nailed Jacobson right under the an
gushed eyes of Fielder Jones. That
depressing occurrence took the last
feeble kick out Of the Browns. They
were not in evidence 10 any extent
after that.
Ssler, the perfect showed some Of
his worth on the defensive yesterday.
Magee. who had beaten a bunt, was
holding lead of first. Pipp drove
high and hard liner at Sisler, who
speared the ball with one hand Then
Sisler tagged the bag. cutting of Magee
from the return and achieving very
pretty double play unssssted.
