New-York tribune., 1918-05-03

One hundred and ten members Of
TIC famous Chasseurs, who arc visiting
our fair city in behalf OF the third
Liberty Loan, attended the game as the
guests of Colonel Jacob Rupert. AS
Connie Mack's aspiring youths went to
the bat in the second inning the heroes
from cover there" marched through the
centre field gate, headed by their bugle
corps. They paraded across left field
and took their station in a row of
boxes back OF third base.
AS an escort to the gallant "Devils"
there was detachment of American
soldiers who had seen service in the
trenches abroad and a company from
the National League for Women's Ser
vice. The game was halted for fifteen
minutes as the three thousand fans
welcomed the visitors with chain after
chain of cheers, which were answered
with vim by the sprightly fighters OF
France.
The Yankees were inspired to great
deeds by the presence Of this band Of
warriors, and in the first four innings
piled up four runs, as against the
Athletics two. The trouble was that
The Inspiration forsook the New York
crs, and when the need for it was
greatest they found that the Mackmen
had gobbled every bit for tremendous
drive in the ninth, which took them
ever the top"
Walker Wins More Fame
Clarence Walker, who won fame as
:; member of championship Red Sox
leans, was the man who struck the
iirst blow in the fatal stanza. Clar-
encc singled to right field. This same
Walker had already distinguished him
self in the seventh inning. by pounding
out home run into the left field
brought about the banishment of Mog-
ridge from the pitching mound. The
Blue Devils" and everybody. else,
therefore, recognized Clarence when he
l.roke loose again in the ninth.
Russell, the successor of Mogridge
IN the box for the Yanks, was much
upset by this little hit in the ninth
and was unable to put the ball where
Burns, the Mack catcher, could gel
hit bat at it. So Russell, failing to
hit the bat, hit Burns. Gardner. also
somewhat similar fashion by Russell,
spitters and drew a pass, filling the
Eases.
A sacrifice fly from Shannon to
Bodie brought Walker across the plate,
ard Dugan's single to right field en-
abled Burns and Gardner to register.
Perkins and Adams perished easily,
but the whole argument as to which
cam was going to win the ball game
was settled in the minds of the "Blue
Devils" and the other spectators.
The Yankees started out very nice

to one run in the visitors half of the
first inning. Gilhooley singled through
hort and sped to third when Peck
snot another safety through Gardner.
The Yankee captain took second on
nc play. Bakers high fly was sadly
misjudged by Dugan and the bases
sere all occupied.
Dugan Spoils Sure Thing

then Dugan spoiled sure double kill
ing by muffing Shannon's toss, Gill

to Jameson, on which Peck scored and
the other runners moved up a peg.

men out, Baker fumbled Walkers
smash, and the Athletic centre fielder
went all the way home when Miller let
he single get through him.
In the seventh inning the Athletics
tied everything up in knot as a re-
suit of Walkers homer.
The story of how this same trouble

ninth that won the game for his pals
has already been told.
The "blue devils" and Walker were
Just about the whole show.
