PITCHER LYONS is
VICTOR FOR LOCALS
IN FIRST CONTEST

Portland, me, July N.-Manager
Krichel of Bridgeport introduced
new pitcher yesterday in Lyons, Sc
cured from Toronto by the Interna-
Ltional league. The newcomer was hit
hard enough by the Portland sluggers
but kept the raps far enough apart
so that Bridgeport was able to win by
IS to 2. Hartford has been trying to
get Lyons, who worked for the Sem
ators a few years ago, and there rs
likely to be more soreness now that
Bridgeport stepped in first Lyons
was stingy with passes at any rate
and this was in marked contrast to
the work of Bridgeport hurlers in re-
cent games.
Frank Dessau, who pitched a few
games for Bridgeport before he tried
umpiring, was twirling for Portland.
The Americans punched hits on him
in clever fashion, linn, Lear and Mar
tin leading in the hitting. Bridgeport
also displayed a good brand of field
ing.
In the second inning Bridgeport got
1.-TWO runs. linn and Lear banged
safely and Grimes sacrificed. Mar
tins timely drive brought in linn and
Lear. In the fourth the Americans
again scored two. Lear greeted. Des-
sau with a long three Dagger and
Grimes unbelted a single that sent
Lear across. Grimes stole a. second
and worked his passage home on two
wild pitches. I'VE last run was made
! by Bridgeport in the fifth when Mar
tin singled with one out and imme
diately started for second. He KEEP,
on to third when Murray let the bal
get away. On CARROTS grounder t.
Murray. Martin beat the throw home
/ Portland began to touch Lyons III
in the eighth and ninth but he man
aged to weather the storm. Carroll

was sent In to work in order to Civ,
Jack Egan a rest. Manager Krichel
is on the injured list with a. daInages

|YANKS GREAT ON
WINNING CONTESTS
IN EXTRA INNINGS

New York, July 27--After battling
forl II innings, filed with excitement
and interest, the Yankees finally de-
feated the Chicago White Sex at the
Polo Grounds yesterday by to 5.
The battle was filed with brilliant
fielding, and there was also good hit
ting and all varieties OF pitching, but
when it comes to the final analysis it
was saved for New York in the four
teenth inning by throw OF Walters,
which caught Fe1sch off third and
won in the latter half OF that same
frame by hits by Baumann and Pipp
and a long sacrifice fly by Baker.
Whatever they may lack in the
daily grind Of battle. when it comes
to extra innings the Yankees are
there. They have won this season
one IT inning game, one 15 inning
game, two 13 inning games, one IL
inning game, two II inning games
and three 10 inning games, not count
ing the victory of yesterday. They
have played two II inning ties and
have lost three 10 inning games. Out
of a total, therefore, of II extra in
ming affairs they have lost only three.
The game yesterday never should
have gone into extra innings. The
Yankees started off with a four run
lead. but failed to hold 1t, as the
White Sox came right back and tied
the score in the second inning. More
over, while they tied it largely on
hitting, the Yankees contributed q
couple Of errors which helped ma
teria11y.
Nick Cu11op went 13 innings FOL
New York and in II Of them he held
the enemy run1ess. Bob Shawkey
pitched the final frame. Chicago was
not SO economical with hurlers. Benz
started for the White Sox and as the
Yankees greeted him as a hungry lior
might greet a long lost lamb shop, he
only pitched one inning. Then Row
land switched to a southpaw, in thu
| person Of Dave Danfort1a. The latter
lasted until the sixth frame when h,
blew like a Kansas cyclone. The1
Williams, another left handler, fin
isted the battle. II he had started i
| there 10 grave doubt whether tn,
| Yan1ks would have won.

The Bridgeport players will return
from their long road trip Saturday
night and will oppose Hartford at
NewdieId on Sunday. Pieper's club
and the locals always furnish a good
scrap. Manager Krtchel1 is likely to
send Ferguson or Tucley against the
Senators.
Harry Donovan, the New Haven
pitcher, hasn't done so well lately He
was beaten again yesterday when
Lawrence took. his measure. At the
beginning of the season Donovan got
IA flying start and soon led the league
with eight victories and two defeats
Weaver of New Haven has outclassed
Donovan in effectiveness in recent
games
Umpire Connolly made a record for
the Eastern league this season when
he chased three Springfield players
from the game yesterday. The fans
waited for Connolly after the contest
but the police formed safety zone
around him.
After a long slump with the stick,
Shortstop Bill Martin of Bridgeport
emerged long enough to get two hits
at Portland.
| Guy linn was another Bridgeporter
who managed to get little nourish-
ment. The burly outf1eIder leaned
against Dessau's offerings for two
blows. "
Gene. MCCAIN Is making desperate
efforts to strengthen his New London
club. EIe has signed Rebel Cakes, the
former National and Federal oaltfeld-
er. Oaakes has been in the Western
league in recent years.

Hammond of Springfield. one Of sthe
best hitters in the league. Gene Nc
Cam gives Springfield. Outfielder
Becker in exchange for Hammond.
From, the outside it looks as il New
London is getting the better of the
deal as Hammond Is q better batter
than Becker. ~
Springfield has not been getting
much Service from Hammond so prob
ably figures there is nothing to lose in
the trade. It is said Hammond
didn't get along with Manager Jack
OsHara and refused to hustle for.ithe
Green Sox leader. Becker Is a fast
faaaa on the bases but has not hit
much this year. He is also reputed
to be a hard man to handle. Manag-
er O'Hara went to sBinghamtoh, N,

that club If the New York State league

An inshoot is a little thing
That gets the batter mad;
He SWINGS in vain with might and
main A.ss.s
Which makes the pitcher glad.
But il he happens to connect
And makes three-base hit,
It is the batter's chance to grin
While pitcher has a fit.
