New-York tribune., 1918-06-10

1t was the last real chance theS
Yankees had, and the verdict went
against them, 5 to 4, in the Browns
Huggins crowd bounded back into sec
ond place.
The failure of the Yankees to score
in the tenth was but sample of what
out the hottest game of the series on
ore of the hottest days of the year at
Sportsman's Park. Filling up the bases
to 20 out runless fell to both clubs, the
Browns making a dismal failure in
their ninth, when they crowded the
sacks with nobody out on Austin's
double, scratch hit by Sisler and
pass to Hendrix. This big opportunity
slipped away because neither Demmitt
nor Gedeon could hit out of the infeld,
the latter bounding to Mogridge for
double play.
Slim Love Gets Gate
The odd sight Of Slim Love having
himself ordered ort Of ball game en-
livened the affair in the fourth chap
ter. Slim had Catcher Hale in hole
with two strikes against him and was
positive that he had sneaked over
third strike. Umpire George Moriarty
called it third ball, and Love, who
had been kicking about decisions in the
earlier innings, promptly wound up and
threw his glove almost out to Ping
Bodie, in left field. Moriarty threw
Love out of the game without taking
any wind up. Mogrdge was ready TO
take his place on the mound, as he had
been warming up in the bull pen.
Bert Gallia held the Yanks under his
thumb in the early innings, but in the
late chapters Huggins's heavy hitters
got to him and chased him to the club
house. He faded in the eighth after
five batsmen had made three hard hits,
sacrifice fly and had drawn pass.
Shocker came on after his departure
and gets the credit of the victory over
his old team. Joe Gedeon had the dis
tinction of carrying over the winning
marker to the twelfth.
The Browns went to the front with
two runs in the first inning, and poor
throw by Hannah, who also made the
winning run possible with poor peg,
helped in the early scoring. Tobin out
ran q slow roller to Pratt, and Hannah,
after fielding Austin's bunt, threw the
ball over Pipp's head, allowing Tobin
to score and Austin to reach third.
Hendrix chased Austin home with a
double to left after Sisler had been re-
tired.
The Yankees collected their first run
in the second inning, when Pipp hit
over the bleacher rail in right field, the
ball landing some distance up among
the seats.
In the fifth, after Mosridge had re-
placed Love, the Browns collected an
Austin walked and Sisler hit double
to right, Austin pulling up at third.
Hendrix was purposely walked, and
Demmitt crashed into a curve for a
single to right which sent both Austin
and Sisler over the plate.
Huggins's men got to Gallia for two
hits in the sixth, and two more in the
seventh, but could not score. In the
eighth they tied up the game. Peck
singled to right. A pass to Pratt filled
the bases and Pipp's long fly to Tobin
sent Peck over the plate. Bodie singled
to left, scoring Baker but Pratt was out
trying to reach third on the hit. Jones
called Gallia to the bench and substi-
tuted Shocker, whose first pitch was
wild and Bodie reached third. Ping
counted when Gerber let Marsanss s
grounder roll through him.
Good Chance for Browns
The Browns had good chance in the
ninth, when they filled the bases with
none out, but could not score. In the
Yanks' tenth the squeeze play failed
In the home twelfth Hendryx walked
Demmitt popped out, Gedeon singled
and Johns was Intentionally passed
filling the bases. Baker got Severeid's
hard grounder and retired Hendryx at
the plate, only to have Hannah bound
the ball off Severeid's head, with an
easy play in front of him that would
end the inning. Gedeon scored on the
misplay, winning the game.
