comment than the league of nations.
worked for the Yanks and had just one
annoying inning, when a couple Of the
Browns bunched two doubles on him
and scored the lone run for St. Louis.
Wright, who worked for Ball, got most
Of his bumps in the eighth, when Willie
Pipp led parade with home run.
The monotony of the walloping of
the Browns was relieved by some field
ing that was worth the trip. Peckin-
paugh was the star of the afternoon in
Pecxinpaugh Is that he makes the most
wonderful plays so frequently and
with such apparent ease that we do
not give him any percentage of the
credit that is due him.
No Playing to Gallery
Some shortstops have the faculty of
making every play look hard. Peckin-
paugh gets after his work with the
least apparent effort and he does not
play to the gallery. When he does boot
hard one. it looks awful, because we
are used to perfect fielding with Old
Reliable Rog on the job.
In the fourth inning Gedeon, who
started his big league career on the
Yanks, but was mercilessly sold to St.
Louis, opened the fourth inning with
q hard-hit twister that got past Baker
and was rolling out into left field for
single. Peckinpaugh made dash to
back up the third bascman He scooped
up the ball behind third and with his
nose glancing along the tips Of The
grass he made throw to first and
nailed the runner by a fraction of a
second.
Again in the fifth Peckinpaugh
lcaped into the air and speared siz-
zling liner by SEVERED with his bare
hand This stop prevented the Browns
from scoring an extra 'un, as there
was a man on second when it hap
nened.
While on the subject of fielding,
Baby Doll Jasobcon, of the Browns,
plastered himself with considerable
Glory yesterday afternoon also. Nor
nally Baby Doll is no demon as q
fielder He is an altitudinous person
md he never was built for grace. His
nlantop is too far away from his
keel and his feet are more than
slightly exaggerated. OF course, the
longitude of his legs permits him to
crcss the Polo Grounds in three
sity for making the trip.
Yesterday, however, the Baby Doll
suddenly came to life in an emer-
rercv. With q couple of men on the
bases. Muddy Ruel hoisted a long one
out to left centre. 1t looked good fol
a triple at least. The ball would have
broken about fifty yards from. the
Baby Doll if he had stopped to medi
tate as usual. But the Baby Doll die
1r
ball in a couple of strides, bent over
and caught it with one hand.
Timely Hit by Lewis
The Yanks got one in the second
inning when Pratt hit to centre and
went to second while the Baby Doll
was untanglng his feet. He scored
ing Pipp and Pratt singled in turn
and were advanced by wild pitch
Resortng to the favorite Yank STRAIT

The Browns got their lonely run in
the fifth, when Mays had his one bad
session. Demmitt bounced double off
the right field wall. He was prevent
ed srom scoring Immediately by one of
Peckinpaugh's marvellous stops, but he
scored eventually when Schepner, who
Giants, bounced a double off the left
field wall
The Yanks got another in the sixth
when Pratt made his third hit Of the
day, two-bagger, and scored on I
single by Lewis.

with the Yanks. Lewis and Bodi
singled in turn. Then Ruel sent hit t,
right field and took third when Johnn.

Lewis and Pipp scoring.
Carl Mays, with the commendable de
sire to make the rout of the Brown
as decisive as possible, cracked out
two-bagger to centre, scoring Rue
Chick Fewster sent the pitcher HON
with single to left
There was fair crowd present, con
sldering the fact that neither tn
Browns nor the Yanks really hay
anything to quarrel about at this stag
of the season. Despite the fact tha
the lanks are just playing out tn

There will be no game at the Polls
Grounds to-day. Tomorrow the Whit
Sox, who will invade Cincinnati at tn
risk of their lives to meet the Reds i
the worlds series, will be seen in ac
ton with the Yanks. This will be tn
last chance to see Cicotte shining ther
unless you make the perilous journe
to Cincinnati next month.
