Pitch Alright Ball for
Huggins Clan

BRUNSWICK, Ca, April 14.-The
Yankees are now two up in the series
with the Dodgers. At the little ball
park here this afternoon the American
iesruers handed Uncle Robbie's follow
ers the most severe trimming that
either team has yet sustained in this
inter-league series. Huggins's men
mauled the offerings of two Brooklyn
boxmen for fifteen hits, and two Yam
kee hurlers set the Dodgers down with
one lone single. The score was to 0.
Thormahlen and Nelson did the
pitching for the Yankees. The left
nings and did not allow hit. He hand
reached first base on an error, but no.
body threatened to score. Nelson
word the last four innings, and he
was on his way to making the COM
bined pitching effort transforming
classic when Krueger, the Brooklyn
catcher, spoiled the picture.
Olson and Malone had hit easy flies
to Vik in Brooklyn's eighth and not
hit had found its way into the Dodgers
box score when Kruger faced Nelson.
He slapped one hard and fast toward
the short right field fence and it hit
the boards for q clean single. Then
Nelson went along at his work of set
ting the Brooklyn hitters down in
order.
Olson, who reached second base in
the fifth inning on an error by Ward
and Malone's sacrifice, was the only
Brooklynite to pass first base during
the game. He was doubled off the bag
when Peck made an unassisted double
play after grabbing Kruger's line
drive.
George Halas returned to the New
York lineup after a siege of charley
horse, and he is back with relapse
of the ailment tonight. The collegian
raced down to first base in the sew
onth inning after hitting past Malone
and the muscular mustang again
kicked him out of the lineup. Bill
Lamar had to take up the running
duties at first base and he finished
the game in left field. Halas got into
the game because Ping Bodie was
suffering from a slight attack of
stomach trouble.
Ping was scheduled to begin his du-
ties as a left fielder to-day with Duffy
Lewis in centre. The latter was in
his new position, but Pings debut in
left was postponed. Walter Pipp, who
has been hitting the Brooklyn pitch
ers hard all through the series, had
another big day with the stick. He
pounded out two doubles and a single
and carried three runs over the plate.
Ward, who has been hitting poorly,
got clean singles on each of his first
three visits to the plate and drew a
pass on his final appearance. Pratt
and Lewis also hit hard, each getting
a double and single. Peck and Olson
did the best fielding.
After five innings of runless base
ball the Yankees broke the ice in tho
sixth and collected two runs off Pfef-
ter. With two out Pipp hit to right
for q single and hoped around to
third on Pratt's double off Malone's
Sims. The pair raced home when
Lewis shot single into right.
Grlmes came into the game at the
start of the seventh, and the Yankees
made 1T holiday from this time.
Halas greeted Burleigh with a single to
right, pulled up lame, and gave way to
Lamar. Wards single sent Lamar to
third, and RuePs one-base smash sent
him home. In the next inning Pipp
doubled past third. Pratt sacrificed.
and Lewis doubled to left, scoring
Pipp.
Hits and runs came fast in the ninth.
Nelson Nelson and Peck got singles, Pipp
another double and Pratt another sin
gle, the series of safe hits sending
three runs over. Mayor Hopkins threw
out the first ball after q preliminary
warm-up. A crowd of more than 1000
lans turned out for the game.
