ny FREDERICK G. LIEB.

Inc Yankees provided an en1oyable
little windup for their game with the
Tigers on the Polo Grounds yesterday.
The Donovans looked like a beaten
bunch when they came up for their ninth
innlnS swings. Detroit was ahead, 8 to
y. and Howard Ehmke was booming
along in great style. In the six previous
Innings he had permitted only two hits
and one tainted run. The exit gates
were working freely.
Some halted in the runways when
they saw Baker open the ninth with a
single. Bakers binSle was the vanguard
or whole flock Of hits. and when the
smoke cleared Ehmke had been blown
right or the screen and the Yankees
were galloping of the field In full pos
session OF s to s victory.
The game was a seesaw affair. The
Yanks spotted George MogridSe an early
lead Of two runs, but a load OF bricks
fell on George and the lead In the sixth
inning Before Donovan had time TO
warm up new pitcher the Tigers had
pushed In four runs Slim Love finished
the game and did nobly. The Mississippi
string bean suddenly has developed into
one or Donovan's most consistent per-
formers. After he relieved Mosridge In
the sixth only three Tigers got on base.
Love picked one of first and another
was expunged in double play.
Three "Umps" on Deck.
The Yanks were able to locate Ehmke'.

claimed was fair. but three umpires dis
agreed with him.
1t was the most umpired game ever
put on in New York outside OF a world =
series. Mccormick called 'em behind
the plate. Nallin looked after third base
and Connolly's zone took in second and
frst bases. The vote was three to one
against Bill and he was ruled of the
coaching lines In the bargain. After a

on third. Tim scored when Mummy
bunted on Donovan's favorite scoring de-
vice-the squeeze
The Tigers got one back in the fourth
