Carl Mays. the big Red Sox right
handler, who throws the submarine ball.
was not satisfied to leave well enough
alone on the Polo Grounds yesterday.
Carl olenked the Yanks in the hrst Sec
ton Of q double header by a score OF
2 TO 0. Shutting out the flying league
leaders once In one day Is enough honor
for any baseball mortal But It wasn't
for Carl.
Il think oan lick those birds again."
the burly Missourian confded to Ed
Barrow, the Boston manager. after
turning in his FIRST shutout
''Go to It." said Ed.
During the interim the Yanks devised
. means OF coping with that submarine
menace. They decided to hit Carrs sub
marine bombs so far over the heads Of
reach them. This proved excellent
strategy. An assortment of long hits
early in the game turned the trick. The
Yanks won an even split on the day
| with Carl by upsetting him, to 1, In
the second game.
Still Mays made a pretty good Job OF
It. In each of the games he permitted
only seven hits and issued only two
bases on balls in the eighteen innings
Carl Is the first big league HEAVIER to
try old man McGinnitys stunt this sea-
son-
