Turning the Trick
By Wood Ballard -

MACON, Ca, March 25.-Uncle Sam's
long arm stretched into the camp OF
the Yankees to-day and plucked one
Of Miller Huggins's young recruits
who is wanted for the more serious
business that is going on cover there.
Outfielder Howard Camp, last season
with Charleston and Newark, received
his call to the colors just before noon,
and at 1880 o'clock he had said fare
we'll to the boys and was on his way
He went from Macon to his nome at
Talladega, Ala, where he will receive
orders to report at one of the nearby
cantonments.
The departure of Camp and the home
run blow which Elmer Miller inflicted
on the Regulars this afternoon were
the only departures from the usual
monotony in the days doings here.
Mllers clout was patterned along the
lines of the home runs made by heroes
in fiction. He came to the bat in the
Yannigans' half of the ninth inning,
with the teams in 6-6 deadlock, and
he landed on Ed Monroe's first offer
ing for long slam beyond the left
field bulwarks. This clout gave the
Vans their first victory over the Reg
ulars
Bakers Bat Helps Regulars
The game was nine-inning affair,
the first that Higgins has allowed the
two teams to play this season. The
midget manager had his first view Of
his regular intield working together,
as Pipp was back in uniform, after his
siege of sore throat.
Baker went the entire game at third
base, and he started the Regulars on
the way from one-sided defeat to
close game by hitting double over
the right field wall in the sixth inning.
The score was to l when Baker came
to the plate, and as he scored after
making his timely thump the Regulars
got back into the game. In the sew
cnth inning the Regulars went into the
lead, but the Vans tied things up in
their half and won out in the ninth.
Mogridge and Russell started the
game, the former for the Regulars and
pitched four innings and when they
retired the score was 1 to l.
Shawkey and Love took up the bur
den in the fifth inning. but Shawkey
retired after pitching one inning He
hurt his arm pitching a speedy ball
and thereafter was content to take his
chances without speed, the result being
four runs on three singles, two dou-
bles and two passes. Monroe finished
the game for the Yannigans, while Love
went the remaining five innings for the
sell. The big fellows hit slim hard in
the sixth inning, but otherwise his
speed was too much for them.
Beck and Bodic Star Hitters
Beck and Bodie were the batting
ure late when his homer broke up the
game. Up to this time Elmer had done
nothing of note with the stick.
Beck toed the plate four times and
his hit collection included a double to
left, double to centre, single to left
and a double to right. Ping had four
chances to distinguish himself and he
closed the days book with three singles
to his credit. One was the limit for
the other athletes, except Pratt, who
singled twice.
afternoon owing to an injury to his
left knee, sustained a few days ago.
He paid little attention to it for sew
eral days, but the soreness remains and
he plans to have the injured member
eX-rayed tomorrow
