Ban johnson announced In Washing
ton last week that Carl Mays, the new
Yankee submarine ball pitcher, wouldn't
twin the little white sphere In his league
this season unless the Yankees could
show "extenuating circumstances" why
Carl should be permitted to do so.
But that was one time where Byron
bancroft l.. erstwhile the All Highest Of
the American League-was wrong. Carl
Mays did pitch on the Polo Grounds yes
terday for the Yanks. and made quite a
tidy job Of II. AS to the "extenuating

That second game was tighter than
the score would indicate. Al Sothoron
gave Mays worthy argument until the

Umpires Served with Injunction.
The pitching Of Mays created no new
rumpus Late on Wednesday night "the
papers" were served on George Moriarty
and Frank Hudebrand. the umpires as
signed to the series. just before they
went to roost- A copy Of the injunction
also was handed to Bobbie Quinn, the
St Louis business manager, in behalf Of
Jimmy Burke, manager OF the team.
After Mays went out to pitch Hide
brand and Morfarty had quite a chat
about 1t at the plate, and Jimmy Austin
spokesman for the Browns, also talked
the matter over with the "umps." Evil
IDENTIFY they decided not to take any
chance Of being hauled before Justice
Luce for contempt of court, as they did
nothing more to Mays than talk about
him.
The new pitcher got grand welcome
from the 10000 fans who came out to
do him homage. They even pulled the
old college stun for Mays and gave him
three rousing cheers. After one part of
the stand got-through raining him an
other took 1t up. until II went all around
to the bleachers. p
The umpires kept close tabs on what
Mays was pitching. Both teams did a
lot of faultfinding. The Yanks always
were suspicious that Allan Sothoron did
more to the ball than Just anolnt It, and
the Browns continually kept inspecting
the ball Mays pitched. Hildebrand did
throw out a ball on Sothoron, while the
same umpire inserted ball that Mays
had pitched into his hip pocket This
probably will be forwarded to Chicago
to be tested by the league chemist.
