their 'sanguinary activities at the Polo
Grounds yesterday and committed pre-
meditated homicide on Dauss Of De-
troit in the sixth inning for eight runs.
The score up to this reign of brutality
was two even, consequently the infuri-
ated Yanks took the game by a score
of 10 to 2 and two games Of the three
game series. The Yankees now are in
third place.
Manager Hughcy Jennings, the ia
nous exile of Detroit, was back on the
coaching line yesterday. The indefinite
Punishment which was proclaimed
against him some time back by Ban
ishing Ban johnson, president of the
league, has been lifted and Hughey
will not have to chop wood with tho
Kaiser as has been hitherto reported.
In the seventh inning Umpire Frank
Owens, behind the plate, was struck in
the throat by foul tip and was seri-
ously injured. He dropped by the
plate and it took the efforts Of three
physicians to resuscitate him. He was
Connolly officiated for the rest of the
afternoon from behind the pitchers
box.
The crowd was something in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 strong. Judg
ing from their vociferousness, they
decidedly seem to believe that the
Yankees are still in the pennant race.
They played as though they held this
opinion pretty strongly themselves.
Shawkey Tames Them
Bob Shawkey, the steel-armed Bob
the Cob, kept the Tigers fairly we'll
tanned and the hits as widely scattered
greater part of the game. Dauss
looked fairly healthy, too, until the
sixth, when Murderers' Row descended
upon him with flying bats.
Walter Pipp started that inning with
a single and finished it with a home
run. This seems to indicate that
Walter is beginning to recover the bat
ting eye he seems to have loet while
he was studying to become an aviator
for Uncle Josephus Daniels. The navy
seemed to have rusted his bat. But he
looked n whole lot better yesterday.
He got four hits out of five times up,
one Of them a home run.
When Pipp started with single
Pratt Immediately followed suit, and
Francisco Pizzola, the eminent Italian
murderer of Murderers' Row, also
struck blow at Dauss. Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb was either astounded at
the ball. At any rate, the Georgia
Beach fumbled the little spheroid, and
Pipp and Pratt scored.
Muddy Ruel drew base on balls
from Dauss, who began to show signs
of worriment. Bob the Cob stepped ur
to the plate and lashed a two-bagger tt
right in praiseworthy endeavor te
cinch the game at this point and save
his arm for the remainder Of the after
noon. He figured that the Yanks have
no arms to waste at this stage of the

Slaughter Continues
2 Fcwster, who has learned how tt
annoy opposing pitchers, got base OF
: fly to left field and Ruel scored. Bake
b Vas not in on this piece. He popped
out to Ainsmith Duffy Lewis shot
y | single to centre and Shawkey scored
. Then came Walter Pipp, over whom
n some of the Yankee fans have been ;
K bit lugubrious this year. Evidentl.
a Pipp finally has got the salt horse
+ plum duff, bilgewater, or whatever the.
5 give them in the navy, out of his sys
tenn. He landed on the ball cleanl,
and shot it against the right field wal
with the fiat trajectory of q Springfield,
bullet. The ball ricochetted into dee
e centre field and Pipp got all the wa,
. home, driving Fewster and Lewis il
o ahead of him.
Q This was about as spectacular a driv
Q as has been made by the Yanks thi
Q season. They took a chance. The
o worked on the hit and run strategy
several opportunities for the "squeez
play" but somehow or other tn
3 Midget Manager, though temple
sorely, refrained from lapsing into tn
\ everyday Yankee strategy As a re
\, suit of the change of pace the Yank
= got some runs for themselves.
n Hughey Jennings, the famous exil
f OF Detroit, was so astonished that tn
81 Yanks refrai ined from squeezing tina
# he forgot to pick up grass on tn
y coaching lines. The Tigers were com
:. pletely demoralized.

There were so many newspaper nj
