Angel Aragon
Saves Yankees
From a Defeat
Little Cuban Robs Bill Jacob
son of Homer by Won
derful Catch

st. Louis. July 9.-The unusual hap
pened here to-day; the Yankees won
from the Browns. II was hard work
for them to do it, and they just man
aged to squeeze through on .ho biz
end OF a ? TO I tally. II it had been
any team but the Brownies the Yanks
tore or, then one might we'll say: BE
hold the age Of miracles is with US
again"
In his desperation TO present some
thing like a fighting front, Wild Bill
Donovan. who is still managing by
long distance. decided % employ the
services Of Angel Aragon. the d.minu-
tive Cuban. Angel rs an innelder Of
parts, but better still, he is an in
fielder with a certain germ VI dash and
fight lu his makeup, and tight and
dash anywhere in the Donovan cast
these sere and yellow days need only
be seen ID be appreciated.
\ sad Outfield
Donovans infeld m ght be improved,
but his outfeld has been a sad lament
20 the high heavens. and so the COM
mander OF the Huston Fusiliers as-
signed his minute man 20 the garden
patrol An Angel was all that Allan
Rus sell needed TO pull him through
against the bulk and brawn Of the giant
Davenport. But 10 was well for this
Russell that his angel had wings
though on his feet.
Baby Doll Jacobson came as near 10
another pinch home run that would
have busted the old ball game right
in the faces Of the Gothsmites as he
ever approached anything in his young
life In the sixth inning, with two
men on. Jacobson took a toe hold and
damned one Of Russelps hooks. 1t
looked ike a ton of exploding dyna-
mite under a canary bird for couple
Of seconds.
But the Cuban was away with the
swing and. sprinting back 70 the left
centre field fence. turned just in time
20 make the most sensational sort OF
a clutch of the line hit. This catch
saved Russell and kept the torpedoed
Yankee craft above the grim waters
Of the second division for few hours
longer.
Davenport outpitched Russell. though
he had neither the game luck nor the
same brilliant support in the pinches.
Davenport held the visitors 20 I'VE
hits; the Brownies got eight of Rus
sell. But the Yankees punched four
OF their five bingles in little clusters
of two and just where they would do
the most good.
Pipp Drives in Run
New York got or in front BY i'm
proving the first inning. With one out
Peckinpaugh doubled. Aragon failed
TO advance the runner, but Wally Pipp
came through with a single for the
tally. In the seventh the visitors tied
it up. Miller drew a pass to start the
inning. Baumann and Alexander both
failed TO do anything for the cause.
BY this time Russell got sore, and
helped himself 10 a single. Tim Hen
dryx then decided it would be cry
ing shame TO waste a pitchers pinch
hit, and banged ont another single
that got Miller all the way over.
The Browns avoided a shutout in
the eighth. Sloan singled, raced 20
third on Sisters second single and
scored on an infeld out.
