days, and thew are a bit bitter about
it. That Walter has lost none Of his
speed will be sworn to by Roger
Peckinpaugh, who narrowly escaped
with his life couple of times. Once
Walter curved ball past his chin and
singed several whiskers. A second
time Walter shot one so close to Rog-
er's head that it tore the button f,om
his cap and dashed it into atoms.
Derrill Pratt was the hero of the
first game with some spectacular field
ing and three-bagger that was in
strumental in evening up the score in
the eighth. The Senator'S exhibited a
lot of new talent yesterday. Stanley
Harris, of Buffalo, officiated at second
for one game. Earl Elgernon Ellerbo
played short in another. Jazebel
Tecumseh Zachary-and that is his real
monicker-fnished the second game
for the Solons after Harper had been
yanked for a pincher.
Signor Pizzola Complains
Signor Pizzola complained bitterly
about johnson using the shine ball.
II wish the managers would find out
what they want" he said. "They pay
us guys to hit the ball and then they
pay lot of pitchers to keep US from
hitting, and they let them use a lot
of this here camaAooge that the Ger
mans killed the Belgian babies with.
It amt right. Look at that guy shining
the ball"
There were ten thousand when the
prolonged session began and about five
thousand remained to the bitter end.
Carl Mays started the first one a bit
unsteadily and it looked as though he
intended to take his first walloping of
the season from Johnson, but he was
as steady as a rock at the end. Duffy
Lewis got five hits in all from the
Speed King, which is more than John
son usually gives per game to one man.
A double by Pipp, single by Pratt
and a debate between Milan and Rice
gave the Yanks the long battle in the
fourteenth. with one out. A triple by
Pratt in the eighth put the Yankees
back in the battle when he scored on
an infeld hit by Lewis.
Johnson was hit rather hard, espe-
cially in the fourteenth, when the Yam
KEGS crashed through with the winning
run. 1t took three singles, sacrifice
and a two-bagger to shoot it through.
The drive started with smash by
Peckinpaugh to left field. Baker rolled
down sacrifice and Peckinpaugh tried
to get all the way to third on it. He
was out by a whisker, and it looked as
the peace conference.
Pipp landed the punch that gaye the
Yanks new impetus. 1t was a dive to
centre, and the long Yank, with whirl-
wind slide, stretched it into a two-bag-
ger. Pratt, who had been scintilating
all through the game, slashed hit to
Shanks, who made a pretty bare-handed
stop.
Then came Duffy Lewis, the Beau
Brummel of all leagues. He hoisted q
fly to short right centre. Both Milan
and Rice started after it. but neither
finished. Milan paused and looked at
Rice, while Rice halted in his tracks
and peered intently. While the lads
were giving each other the once over,
as it were, the ball dropped to the turf
and Plpp came home with the winning
run.
Pratt saved the Yanks in the eighth
with the score to 3. With Walter
johnson in the box and going we'll it
looked as though the game was as good
as over. With one out Pratt lashed
the ball into left field for three bases
He came home when Lewis, on the
squeeze signal, beat hit to third.
Pratt Shines Afield
But it was a fielding stunt by Pratt
that got the croix de baseball with a
Shanks shot fast one that took high
bound. Pratt sped in after it, speared
the ball with his bare hand, and threw
perfectly to first while he was ward
and half in the air.
Mays was trife wild at the start
but once the. Yanks were put back in
the battle line he steadied down. The
Solons piled up two runs in the first
inning: Rice got a base on balls
