because left-hander started against
the Yankees. tore off two singles ana
double, while Miller collected homs
run, a single, base on balls and tws
runs on four times at bat.
Allan ussell and Vean Gregg. who
started the game, were exchanging con.
dolences in the clubhouse before ths
end of the second inning. The last
seven rounds featured Thormahlen and
Adams in a real pitchers battle. but
as they were evenly matched the adj
vantage gained by the Yanks in tie
second inning decided the issue.
"Murderers' Row" Commences
"Murderers' Row" put out a feeler
for Gregg in the first inning when
Peckinpaugh singled and Pratt sent
him around with a long double to
centre.
Russell, however, did not last long
enough to get up a perspiration and
the first inning ended with Thormahlen
in the box and the Mackmen breezing
along with a two-run lead.
Jameson started Russell on his way
with double to right. Marsans should
have killed this hit, but he did not see
the ball when it began its flight and
started his sprint too late. Russell then
walked, Kopp and Walker bunted. The
hit was so safe that there should have
been no play, but Russell got the bali
and flung it into right field, Jameson
and Kopp scoring and Walker advanc-
ing to third base.
Higgins quit on Russell after
Burns poked a single past Baker,
scoring Walker with the third run.
Thormahlen was not warmed up"
properly when he relieved Russell, but
he stopped the rally. The next three
batsmen failed to hit the ball out of
the infield, Gardner rolling to Pipp and
Pratt tossing out Davidson and Dugan.
Gregg Discovers Clubhouse
Gregg saw a light in the clubhouse
a few moments later. His downfall be-
gan with Bodies single and bases on
balls to Miller and Hannah. Thormahlen
struck out, but Marsans hit to centre
field bleachers for double, that put
Bodie and Miller across and tied the
score.
Peck slapped fast hit past third
base, the ball rolling down to the left
field corner where Adams was warming
good for three bases and two more
tallies. The fifth run was scored by
Peck when he beat Dugan's throw to
the plate on Bakers grounder.
At this stage Adams entered the
box and brought a rabbits foot with
him. The Yanks were keen to con-
tinue their slaughter and Pratts
drive through the box looked good for
mother hit until Dugan made a flashy
stop back of second base and turned
the effort into a double play that re-
tired the side.
The Yankees should have had an
other flock of runs in the fourth. when
they filled the bases with none out, but
perished without denting the plate.
Thormahlen was safe on Dugan's
tumble and Marsans singled to CEN
ire. Peck scratched out another
single. Baker, who had an off day at
hat. tapped to Burns and Thormahlen
was forced at the plate. Pratt's effort
was a grounder to the box that resulted
in double play at the plate and first
base.
One More in Eighth
Again in the sixth the first two men
up got on the bases and the top Of
the batting order failed to advance
them.
Adams was good enough to scatter
New York's hits, but he was frisked
for another run in the eighth, when
Miller waited hit into the left field
bleachers. That made the score to
3 and the game safe for democracy.
Thormahlen really pitched a full
nine-inning game, as there were none
out in the first inning when he was
summoned from the bull pen, and Just
seven Mackmen reached first base a.
ter the switch of pitchers. He gave
but one base on balls and that did no
harm, as it was followed by double
play.
