WORLD CHAMPIONS WIN
GAME FROM DODGERS

Oklahoma City. Okla. March So-In a
game developing burlesque features but
which was appreciated by 1000 fans the
world champion Boston Bed Sox turned
the tables on the Brooklyn Nationa
League crown wearers today defeating
them by a score of 10 to 4.
So hard did the wind blow that balls
hit into center field some times were car
ried into foul territory. The result was
that fiy-balls were difficult of Judgment
and hits as a consequence piled up rap
idly.
In fear that the wind would retard the
progress OF their players training, Man
ayers Robinson and Barry kept sending in
substitutes until thrty-seven players had
been marked on the score books
Robinson sent twenty-one into the melee
and Barry sixteen. Seven pitchers tried
their hand, but curving a ball was SO
difficult they ceased trying. Jeff Pfeffer
the Brooklyn star pitched against the
Red Sox for the first time since the series
opened and was mistreated by the Boston
players. who collected triple, two
doubles and a single during his stay of
two innings on the hill.

MORGAN'S YANNIGANS
DEFEAT ROCKY MOUNT
Nationals Second Team Win an Ex-
hibition Game. 4 to O.

Roanoke Rapids, N. c.. March so.-It
was the big day for Manager Ray Nor
gan. Of the rockies. who demonstrated
to the minors and his fellow teammates
how to slash out telling drives At the
opportune time and he sent the frst run
across In the opening frame when he
lifted one over the fence, while in the
next session with two down and two on
the path. he sent two runs to count
with three-base waIlop and later scor-
ed the last run himself. giving Wash
tngton the third game by a score of to o.
The game was played at the North
Carolina mill town of Roanoke Rapids
and there was half holiday observed.
Gallia tourneyed the whole route for
the Senators and held the minors well
IN tow throughout. being aided greatly
by the startling mid-season fielding Of his
teammates. Score:
washington. 100 900 0oo- Il
Batteries-Gallia and Charity; Baron
and Larisy and O'Donnell. Umpire-Mr.
Fenner. Time Of ganne-1 hour IS minutes.
The Washington herald., 1917-03-31
NOTES OF THE YANN1GAN GAME

Pitcher Gallia took advantage of the
first really mild day since the Journey
from camp for exhibition dates. and the
pitcher went the whole route. His work
for the first five innings was a great big
puzzle for the Tar Heels but for the last
four he appeared to rest on his oars and
did not exert himself tremendously.
Second Baseman Sawyer suffered a Sc
we're injury If not a fracture of his law
during the warm-up this afternoon, when
In some way a throw-in from the field
got away from the catcher and crashed
into the bench, taking the player-com-
edian squarely on the jaw. Aid was given
but the injury swelled so quickly and
was so sensitive that it was impossible
TO determine II any bones had been
broken, yet Sawyer gamely declined fur
ther examination by the physician and
rushed onto the field with a face that
resembled small boy with the mumps
on one side.
Today was decidedly Ray Morgan day
for the fellow not only slashed out a
homer. sent two across on a drive past
the left fielder. but he scored an addi-
donal single. and all of this was in ex-
cess OF his clocklike work at third, where
he held down the hot corner with a mas
ter-like precision. His work was the one
Joy of the day. and the man that wouId
dare say that he was Slipping" now
adays would be laughed at hereabouts.
On the brief notice Of twenty-four hours
Roanoke Rapids gave the Senators a big
ger crowd today than witnessed the game
In Raleigh, Monday, and there is no
doubt that IL Manager Ray Morgan has
anything to do with the booking of the
exhibition dates for the second string
club another year that he will steer
nearer the North Carolina coast. His
club has been given good crowds at the
three games played with the Tarheels,
but the crowd at Raleigh was a wee bit
disappointing, there being S26 in the treas
ury check on the settle-up.
The Washington Seconds tapped out a
round dozen hits on the two pitchers,
which Manager Ryan Of the TarheeIs
sent against them and while the greater
number OF these were scored Off Baron
It appeared that-they> either didn't care
about hitting Lariby hard or else he
might have been q puzzle. At any rate
they were kinder to the man who brought
the game to Q close.
