Ina somewhat loose and erratic game
-. Yankees plastered Hughey Jen-
,;,es's Detroit Tigers by the expan-
eve score Of 5 to at the Polo Grounds
yesterday. Big Bill James, who start
a for the Tigers, was bombarded from
,bs box in the fourth, and General Jen-
nipgs was forced TO pass nearly all his
nitehing staff in review before the &C
,iOn was over. Even the great Coveles-
lie was put in and promptly removed
sgsin.
Urban Shocker, who worked the en-
tire game for the Yanks, was fairly
steady. excepting in the eighth inning,
when three hits were punched on him
and a weird throw from Miller aided
and abetted the bringing in Of two
runs. The hero Of the action was Cor
pOral Tim Hendryx, who drove in four
Of the eight runs, which is fairly
GOOD days work Tor any outfelder.
Triple for Timothy
Il was Timothy who drove out a
clean three-bagger TO left field with
the bases filed and started the Yanks
10 the winning squirt just as they
seemed to be dropping and listless.
Timothy is only volunteer, too. He
had been keeping a place on the Yankee
bench clean by the simple process Of
sitting on it until a series Of accidents
brought him up from the reserves TO
the first line trenches.
Home Run Baker, the brittle agrl-
eulturist Of Trappe, Nd, returned to
the lineup despite pronounced shanty
or bungalow over his eye. The first
time al bat nearly saw him hors de
combat or otherwise on the blink once
more. James hit him with terrific
shoot on the shoulder, and the used up
warrior almost got another trip TO the
hospital Baker probably has sustained
more bruises and fractures than any
player of the national pastime.
The Tigers started with run that

Walters whipped the ball over to Pip,
who dropped II when he would have
had Cobb out By yard, and Bush came
all the way home from second.

Wsllie Pip bounced a neat drive INTO
left field and sent Maisel TO third.
L was then that Home Run Baker
the most expensive chronic invalid on
the Yankee team. was hit in his bat
ting and throwing arm. This filled the
bases with nobody out.
Explosion Clears Bases
Along came Timothy Hendryx, the
best drilled corporal in the Yankee
platoon. carrying his bat at the righ'
shoulder. As James started TO heave

swing, lifted the ball far into lett heId
