y..terday's battle was similar to
.hose the Yanks contested all last
~sek in that it was a duel between
nitchers who were in gilt-edged form.

that Love not only outpitched Bagby
for victory, but it was his own hitting
and score making which figured most
sonspicuously in Bagby's defeat. In
both the third and fourth innings Love
bit safely and was then propelled
about the quadrangle by the blows of
his team mates.
Little Smoke to Joe Wood
Joe Wood, the hitting hero of the
day before and a popular athlete with
metropolitan fans, illustrated the an
cent adage of lone day hero; the
next bum," which so relevantly ap-
plies to baseball, by letting a drive 20
through him that tailed the Yankees
first run, though he perpetuated his
hitting formidability by banging out
double in the seventh inning that put
Love in an embarrassing position in
that it moved Wamby, who had walked,
to third. By a great step by Baker on
Williams, who was pinch-hitting for
Halt, and an equally marvellous throw
10 first, which nipped the batter,
{ brought Love and the Yankees through
nfsly.
That winning baseball by the Yankees
viii get play was indicated by the
feet that the crowd was estimated at
l5NW. which is about the same figure
the Ymks have been playing to on all
Saturdays since they hit into their
strde. Before the game Herbert Thor
mahlsn. the sensational kid from the
international League. was presented
with q gold watch by his Jersey City
friends, who are following Thormah-
lens major league career closely.
The Yanks got started in the third
frame yesterday, and for time threat
ened to blow old Jim Bagby right off
the firing line. Love led off with a
Texas Lacquer back of first base. With
seant fuss Gilhooley dumped bunt on
the first base line, and by industrious
hccnng beat the throw to first base.
Baker Scores Love
.Peckinpaugh failed in his sacrifice,
lifting fly to Bagby. Manager Hug
slns decided to waste no more of his
ammunition in trying to bunt Love to
third, and instructed Frank Baker to
bit. Baker responded ably, tearing a
single into left that scored Love and
PIT Gilhooley on third. Bagby, in his
dis!nclination to give Pratt a good ball
70 hit, finally gave him four bad ones.
and the bases were filled.
Wally Pipp hit sharply to E. J. Mil
lsr whose throw to the plate nabbed
gilhooley. But the bases were still
slled, and Ping Bodie was urged by the
1900 fans to get a safe hit. His best
snort was drive down the third base
lne to Halt, who scooped in the ball
,nd stepped on third base, forcing
fratt for the third put-out.
IN the fourth inning the Yanks came
oaek at Bagby for another and what
proved to be the winning run. + Mil
sr opened this chapter with a single
70 70 lett field. AL Walters drove to
SManby and there followed a snappy
sOupie play. Wamby to Chapman to
