New-York tribune., 1919-07-06


GOOD idea Of their surroundings
Beginning right after luncheon. the
,;,ss battled until Nick Altrock noticed
.hat the moon was up, and they quit
IN time to get ready for tomorrow
.nvagement- In checking up, 1t was
tonnd that New York had won the
frst esme. 6 to 4, and that Washing
ton took the second by score OF IL
tc 5.
.,ssh that IL appeared as though Clark
Griffith was trying to crush his op-
nonents with weight of numbers alone.
He had every member Of his squad out
An the green and had that able lieu
tnant. Nick Altrock, paging them every
Ave minutes. Toward the end the
fans didn't know who was who except
that those in white were New Workers
and those in gray the enemy.
Peck Continues Streak
Two things stood out in the days
aoines. Peck hit safely in both con-
tests and ran his string Of hitting
,afely In consecutive games to twenty
s;x. The spectators ttok great delight in
this and appeared to be more anxious
than Peck himself that he should keep
up the good work.
The other feature which the patrons
will recall and talk over in their re-
view Of the game is the comedy of
Nick Atrock, the humorous Washing
.cnian, whose antics on the side lines
kept the fans in an uproar. Nick made
an otherwise monotonous day pleasant
for all present
Nick initiated His Honor the Ump-
fought and knocked himself out. and in
general kept the large crowd sitting up.
Toward the close he announced that he
would probably try out a young busher
named Johnson in to-day's game.
The winning Of the game BY the
Yankees was not due so much to merito-
rious ability as it was to poor playing
on the part of the visitors. Picinich
failed miserably on pop foul of Han
nah's, and the locals broke loose i'm
mediately sfterward and put the game
or ice. In this respect the Yankees are
doing well. They pass up few oppor-
tunities such as this to grab game.
Schneider and Craft opposed each
other at the beginning Of hostil'ties in
the .Hrst game. Pete insisted on firt-
ing with death by passing the first
iucs he got by without any damage
resulting, although he had several mar
row escapes. But the law Of chance
beat him 70 it in the fifth.
He started with his usual pass 70
Judge. Foster singled into centre field.
Manager Higgins figured that Pete's
time had finally come and called in
Mogridge. The tall southpaw's first
which left all hands safe and the bases
loaded. he showed in a fast one, then,
and Sam Rice greeted it with a slam TO
centre for two bases, scoring Judge
and Foster. Picnich spanked another
one Of Mogridge's offerings to deep
centre for three bases, tallying Milan
and Rice.
Nelson then took the slab and
checked further scoring. But in the
seventh, when things began to look
ominous again for the locals, Nelson
was waved out and Bob Shawkey was
rushed in. Bob did his part by holding
the Grifmen safely until the end.
The Yanks were the first TO tally in
this contest. Pipp singled TO right af-
ter Lewis had grounded out TO Foster.
Pratt hit to the same spot for another
bingle. Ping Bodie shot oneGnto right
for two bases. Pipp scoring and Pratt
reaching third. Hannah's bounder 20
short brought Pratt across.
In the sixth Pipp again started
things by drawing pass. An inven-
tory Of runs scored in games would
probably show that the majority OF
them begin in just this way. pass
for an opener IS an Ill omen for the
pitcher. Pratt also walked, and both
runners moved Tp base on Bodies
out. Picinich dropped Hannsh's foul,
giving him a life, and then Mcbride
booted the Yankee catcher's grasser,
allowing Pipp TO score. Nelson crossed
everybody by whaling TO centre for
two bases, driving in two more runs.
whitehouse took up the pitching and
got Wick, but Peck came through with
4 hit that bumped the left field wall
scoring Nelson. Baker flied to right
Senators Ice Second Game
Russell began the pitching in the
second, but Clark Grifhth's clan have
evidently got through with trying tc
battle the Yankees along on ever
terms and taking a chance on winning
late in the game. They salted the bal
game in the first inning by hitting the
Ball 70 every corner Of the lot for ,
total Of eight runs. And when th'
locals showed tendency 70 score runi
they added more to the total, so as U
