Row" slashed four runs across.
Ping Bodie, the corpulent Signor Piz-
zolla, distinguished himself by making
much needed wallop after Ehmke had
passed Lewis to make a monkey Of his
Pingship. 1t was the wallop that started
the drive. Moreover, the naughty Piz-
zolla made what was said to be record
throw from centre field, stopping Ty
Cobb from scoring run. The ball
travelled to Ruel without relay.
Yesterdays accomplishment puts the
Yankees within three points of third
place. If they can mess up the Tigers
for just one game they will be right
on the heels of Ban Johnson's Cleve-
land Indians.
Ehmke's Toss Costly
Ehmke himself let in a run for the
ianks in the second inning. Lewis
got on by forcing Pratt. who bounced

Rodie was tossed out by Young and
Ruel got base on balls Then Thor

In the third inning J. Franklin
Baker, the Maryland agriculturist,
nearly lost the pair of hands with
which he expects to do his fall plough
ing at Trappe. Ainsmith shot liner
at him that was travelling with the
fiat trajectory of Browning gun
bullet. 1t looked like nice one to
say "How do you do to- But Baker
truculently stuck up both hands and
got it. He was wringing his digits

he lame heel did not keep him from
shooting down to first with the same

Great Catch by Cobb
Nor did the aff1iction that put
Achilles down for the count stop
Raymond from accomplishing a mirac-
ulous running catch IN the fourth
With two men on Thormahlen hit
something to right centre that looked
good for three bases at least and
there was Cobb with his lame dog.
But the Georgia Peach started after it
and for a temporary cripple he trav-
elled considerably Somehow he got
under the ball and nailed it.
That's what makes t. Raymond a
great ball player. The average athlete
in this pastime of brittle performers
would have taken the bench with an
injury of that sort. But not T. Ray

The nimbleness of the crippled Cobb,
however, did not keep the Yanks from
getting another run in that inning
George Duffy Lewis, the debonnaire
Beau Brummel of both leagues. cracked
a two-bagger over short, the ball tax
ing a lucky bound. Bodies sacrifice
sent him to third and he scored on the
sacrifice fly of Thormahlen.
The Tigers tied it again in the fifth
when Flagstead beat a hit to Baker
and went to second on sacrifice by
Dyer. Ainsworth's hit past Baker sent
him home.
The Yanks crashed through with four
runs in the fifth. Baker singled to
right and Pipps beat a bunt to second.
Pratt's sacrifice advanced both runners.
Lewis was purposely walked and
Ehmke started to sniff at Ping Bodie,
the next batter.
Bodie Gets Revenge
Smarting at this affront the naughty
Sgnor Pizzola, with his warm Latin
blood sizzling, shot a hit past third
scoring Baker. Ruel drove hit to
centre and scored Pipp and Lewis.
Thormahlen hoisted q long fly to left
and Bode waddlcd across the pan.
This inning was enjoyed by the bat
tlng Colonels, Rupert and Huston
who just returned from hunting the
elusive baseball octopus at Chicago,
Ill. They reported that they could get
no trace of him, and are inclined to
believe that he has met with foul play
somewhere i'll the vicinity of Cincin-

liughic Jennings made the most of
the series vocally despite the antics Of
the Tigers. This is the first series that
Hughle has been able to work out at
the Polo Grounds. During the other
visits of the Tigers the Detroit man
ager had been declared null and void
temporarily by Ban Johnson. He tasted
the luxuriant grass of the Polo
Grounds for the first time on the day
previous and he showed the effects OF
the kick of nourishing fodder.
Signor Pizzola made what some of
the Oldest hangers on at Coogan's Bluff
are heralding as record throw from
centre field in the sixth. 1t happened
after Ty Cobb had shot hit through
Pratt.

ball and put it on him.
