the first inning, scoring DOME Bush
Donovan Again In Exile
Wild William Donovan, the gallant
commander of the Yankees, was once
more under Punishment, sentenced by
drumhead court-martial presided
over by Umpire Dineen. The peerless
leader of the New York Americans
watched the disaster from. box. The
team was in command of Lieutenant
Colonel Beany Walker. the six-toed
Senegambian mascot. Duke Farrell
acted in an advisory capacity.
Not to be outdone by Dineen, Silk
O'Loughlin, who officiated behind the
bat yesterday, sent Ray Caldwell and
Paddy Bauman from the lot Caldwell
was given the. gate for lese majestic.
The specifications were criticising the
rulings on balls and strikes and let
ting Walters's returns to the box go
by him. Paddy Bauman was exiled on
general principles.
Fisher Takes Mound
OLoughlin rose in his majestic
wrath in the sixth inning. Ray Fisher
finished the game for the Yankees
after Caldwell made a delayed exit,
casting many longing, lingering looks
behind and considerable conversation.
This made five Yanks banished in two
days. Further depletion Of the ranks
of the Huston and Rupert troops may
mean that Lieutenant Colonel Beany
Walker and Regimental Adjutant Duke
Farrell may have to take time at bat.
Mascotting against the Tigers is
somewhat more difficult task than mas
cotting against a team like the st.
| Louis Browns, as Beany Walker can
| testify. Beany was clad in an immacu-
late cream uniform, and he wiggled the
six toes on his left foot vigorously, but
to no avail. The Yanks were just 60
| ing through the motions, while their
exiled leader moaned in anguish.
The failure Of Beany Walker to
bring the Yankees through and the ac-
emulation of tough luck may result
in the benching Of the six-toed Sene-
gambian mascot. While Wild William
Donovan did not express any open
criticism of the way he handled the
Yankee team during his Punishment he
was observed in the act Of thinking.
When Wild William Donovan resorts
to thought it is sign Of impending
changes Of drastic sort.
The new uniform of Beany was q
, splendid sartorial creation. 1t was
crowned with red cap. This was
bit of Donovanian strategy. Wild
William figured that the Detroit bat
tiers, seeing the red cap. would be I'M
der the impression that Beany was

agitation caused by the prospect OF
parting with dime. he figured, would
so disturb the Detroit players that
they would not be able to hit.
But the plan fizzled. Reputable au-
thorities have IL that the Detroit play
ers do not tip red caps on the ground
of conscientious scruples. So the
Yankee camoufage stunt was wasted.
First Inning Enough
The game practically was settled in
the first inning. Caldwell gave Bush
base on balls. Witt popped out to
Pipp. Then came Tyrus Raymond
Cobb, the Georgia peach or quince-all
depending on the point Of view.
Tyrus Raymond got under ono Of
CaldwelPs offerings and hoisted the
lower left-feld stand for a home run.
1t was an earnest swipe, and as Tyrus
Raymond circumnavigated Bush came
in ahead of him.
The Tigers accumulated another run
in the third inning. Bush and Cobb
had been passed to first when Veach
came to bat. Veach snapped hit to
centre and Bush scored with the third
and ultimate RIM Of tho dav
Up to the sixth inning IL looked very
much as though the name Of Bernard
Aloysius Boland would be carved in the
Temple Of No-Hit Fame. He had tho
batting arms Of the Yankees atrophied,
and their batting eyes blinked for fair.
But Tim Hendryx, one Of the Yankees
most earnest swipers, spoiled Boland's
dream Of undying fame by cracking Q
hit out to left centre. II was an
earnest and honest paste, but it
brought the Yanks no profit in the run
column.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb not only had
a more or less satisfactory day with
the bat, but he made couple of beau
tiful running catches. The only de-
partment where the Georgia Peach did
not star was in the base stealing end
He tried twice, but Walters, who is
one of the most accurate peggers on
the circuit, nailed him neatly botn
times. 9.
The last time the Peach was nailed
it happened by distance that looked
like a block. Walters seems to have
telepathic dope on Cobb when he tries
the steal and starts the ball before
Tyrus is really oranked up for the dash.
Multitude Protest.
The Punishment Of Caldwell and
Bauman started the multitude to pro-
testing vociferously. After Caldwell
had let a second return from Walters
get by him, 0Loughlin waved his m!tt
majestically to the gate. Caldwell
came in to protest, and Paddy Bauman
dashed out from the dugout to add
his voice against the seeming injustice.
OLoughlin ordered them both to de-
part. Bauman moved with alacrity, but
Caldwell said several thousand words
between the plate and the gate. Duke
Farrell moved to intervene, but the
duke moves slowly these days and even
, the reluctant Caldwell was through the
gate before Farrell was able to gain
an audience with the umpire. When he
did speak his piece it did him no par
ticular good.
Fisher, who relieved Caldwell, pitched
nice couple Of innings. He was
yanked in the eighth to make room
