by FREDERICK C. LIEB.


saw the Yankees play in New York or
anywhere else for a background, the
Yanks battled the Detroit Tigers through
nine furious rounds on the Polo GROUNDS
Yesterday, only to be routed in the
tenth. Six Michigan Tigers darted over
the scoring pan in the overtime inning
and ruined one of the most exciting
games ever waged on Harlem lawn Tor
the home fans. Detroit captured the
second muss of the set by the plump
margin of IA to s.
New York hal the game in Its hip
pocket in the ninth, but couldn't get over
the big punch. With the score tied at
s and Fewster led off for the Yanks
with base on balls and Peck made
himself a martyr SO as to advance
Chick to second
Jennings. managing his trained Fee
lines from a box in shirt sleeves and
straw hat, wig-wagged to the lean How
ard Ehmke to pass Baker. That put 1t
up to Duffy Lewis. the best pinch kid
on Ruppert's pay roll. Duffy popped to
Bobby Jones. There still was a chance.
Pipp, with two hits to his credit. was up,
but he popped to Heilman.
Quinn CoIlapses.
Then came one of the widest. wool
| Hest innings ever put on the local sport
| ing screen. Jack Quinn, who had stuck
| it out. despite some rough shedding in
the early innings, suddenly collapsed.
| Pep Young the former Philadelphia
! high school boy. walked to start the
tenth. 1t was Quinn's first base on balls,
and the fans regarded 1t as a bad omen.
| Cobb crashed to right field for double,
his fourth hit. Then higgins tried to
match the strategy of Jennings in the
preceding inning. He ordered Veach to
be walked, filling the bases, despite the
fact that no one was out
Harry Heilman took the def. Already
| he had soaked out homer and two
singles. He slashed one into right centre
down the alley between Fewster and
Bodie, and before Chick could run Il
down Heilman had followed Young, Cobt
and Veach around the bags. 1t was thu
i third time an alien pitcher has whacket
a homer with the bases full on the Har
lem green this season. Eddie Collins
the White Sox marvel, and Babe Ruth
the home run prince of the Red Sox
were the others.
| OHM then pitched one high ball t
Shorten. That was all for Jack Picus
Pete Schneider had warmed up eve
since the third, but 1t didn't give hin
any sense OF direction. Big Pete fin
ished out the pass to Shorten
Jones popped to Pratt for the first on
of the inning, but Ainsmith doubled Il
left. Ehmke famed, but successive
passes to Bush and Young forced II
shorten. Pep got two passes in tn
same inning. Then Nelson was calle'
in to see whether he could put out tn
side. He walked Cobb and Ainsmiti
was forced home with the sixth run o
the inning. Veach obligingly popped t

1t was a most disappointing finish Z
the great throng who rooted thsmselve

smashed hats looked mighty sad afte

b the best previous Yankee turnout b
about 1000. In 1917 the club played t

crowd. Yesterday was the first tim

I the Polo Grounds that they sold out tn
entire grand stand, up stairs and dow

was left but the bleacners.
Dutch Leonard. the left handler VIII

for the Tigers, but he got quite pun
