seem bent upon going somewhere at
last. 1t is too early in the season to
begin to crow. There is many ship
between June and October. But, still,
a club that can twice slaughter IN one
afternoon such a promising aggrega-
tion as the willy Connie Mack has gath
cred about him is deserving of more
than ordinary curiosity and no little
praise.
That is Just what the Yankees &C
complished. They hit Connie Mack and
his White Elephants right between the
eyes and hit them so hard they lay
right where they fell. Old Slim Love
gagement of the first double header
the Yankees have played at the Polo
Grounds this season. Zimmerman and
Mogridge disposed of Meyer in the cur
tain number. The scores were Z to
and IL to 2, respectively.
1t is too early to crow over pros
poets; also too early to crow over
pretty fair punch. And he will have
an opportunity to come back to-day.
For another double header is on the
bill for this afternoon, and it must be
remembered that Miller Higgins is
not so lavish in pitchers as to make
every twin bill Roman holiday
The Yankees won two games yester-
day by playing good baseball. In the
first game they made their hits count
to the maximum Love pitched finely
and was afforded excellent support
And he lent little timely assistance
to himself with a goodly ash. Indeed,
it was Sims sound triple that put
the game beyond the reach of the visit
ors as early as the second inning.
Sims Slam Scores Mate
Del Pratt walked to start this sec
ton, and sprinted to third on Pipp's
single to left. Bodies double scored
Pratt Gardner threw out Miller, and
Pipp was caught at the plate when
Walters, however Immediately worked
double steal for a run. Then Love
tripled scoring his little battery mate.
Each side picked up a run in the
third. Miller's muf put Walker on sec
ond, with one out, and Burns's single
scored him. Peck walked and stole in
the second half Pratt singled down
the left foul line for the run. The
Yanks sewed up the game in the fifth
with their last cluster of two runs.
Peckinpaugh was safe on Burns's error
and stole second after Baker popped
out bunting. Roger Tailed on Pratt's
single, the batter taking second on the
throwin. Pipp singled. scoring Pratt.
Pipp moved up on Bodies out, and then
stole third just before Miller walked.
This time Miller was caught on an at
tempted double steal.
The Athletics finally got another run
in the ninth. Dugan singled, and ad-
vanced on an infeld out McAvoy,
batting for Geary, hit to right, scoring
Dugan. McAvoy stole second and third
before Jameson walked. He was
doubled when he attempted to score on
Faheys foul to Pipp.
In the second game the Yankees
simply hammered their way to victory
over the PROSTATE forms Of Meyer and
Adams. Finneran, one of Huggins's
newly acquired pitchers, who earned
quite reputation in the Federal
League and no little fame with Toledo
in 1916, had the honor of starting this
game. He did not have the honor of
finishing, though doubtless he will be
given the honor of winning.
Two Successive Home Runs
Finneran's debut as a Yonkee would
have been quite impressive had he not
been the victim of a most unusual hap
pening. The two runs that saved the
White Elephants were both garnered
they both came on almost as many
pitches. In the fourth inning Tillie
Walker and George Burns each hit into
the left field bleachers for home runs
More astonishing still, these were the
first two batters of the inning.
Higgins lifted Finneran as a mat
ter of precaution in the fifth inning
and replaced him with George Mo-
gridge. New York was leading by a
score of 6 to at the time. But the
Athletics were making noise as if
they intended to land upon him rather
solidly. Perhaps Finneran would have
tarried to the end had it been known
New York would double it's score
meanwhile.
The speed of little Frank Gilhooley
gave the home team an advantage in
the very first inning. Gil walked and
sprinted around to third when Peckin-
E.ag, made a hurried and wild throw
ts try to catch the midget outfelder
at third, and on the error Gilhooley
crossed the rate.
A combination of Yankee hitting and
Philadelphia errors gave New York five
runs and an overwhelming lead in the
third. With one gone, Gilhooley sin
on Peckinpaughs smash over the same
route. Bakers single scored one run
ner. Pratt's single. the fourth in
row. tailed Peck. Baker was trapped
on Pipp's wicked rap to McAvoy. Gard
ner knocked down Bodies infield hit
tnen threw poorly to first. On the
error Pratt and Bodie both scored
Bodie scored from second when Walker
muffed Miller's fly.
Get Five Runs In Seventh
The Yankees got run in the sixth
on Miller's double and Hannah's single
The five runs in the seventh resulted
from a pass to Baker. followed by
doubles BY Pratt and Hannah, singles
by Pipp, Bodie and Mogridge and a
sacrifice by Miller.
The first game of to-day's double
header will be called at 1880 p. m.
