aants and world championships for
Connie Mack with n1onotonous regu-
larity the Trappe farmer has been

spell lost none of It's potency with the
change from a Philadelphia to New

often since the shift was made. but at
no time more conclusively than yester-
day when, although striving his might
lest to feed Baker something that
would catch him off his balance, the
slugging third sacker pasted lazy
foater to Clyde Milan for sacrihce
fly that scored Pratt from third with
the run that gave the Yankees an TO
victory in the frst overtime game OF
the year in the majors.
The fact that Pratt had no business
being on third at the time is aside
from the mark. He was there for the
reason that after leading off in the
twelfth with a double to right center
Eddie Foster dropped Ainsmith's throw
of a bunt Pipp had intended as sacri-
Zee.
Pipp reached second while Foster
was delving for the sphere, but was
sent back to the initial sack when 1t
was seen that Pratt had picked 1t up.
Then Johnson attempted to fool Baker.

as 1t was at the time, Walter knew
better than to try to buzz EN- py

first two deliveries were wide of the
mark, and it appeared the Kansan In
tended to walk Baker and take chance
on Bodie, but the third ball had moth
