Lads From Wrong Side
of Bridge Take Advan-
tage of Close Decision
By w. O. Mcclellan

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 1O-The
Brooklyn Lallapaloosas trimmed the
Yankees by 6 to 2 score at the South
Side Park to-day. This evcns up the
citrus series, again making it three
apiece, with one more game to be
played here before the teams hit the
homeward trail.
The lads from the wrong side Of the
bridge were given little the best Of it
on close decision by Mr. Mullanev. the
local arbiter The decision was passed
out in the fifth inning, when the score
was , apiece. Adams. who had gone
TO bat for Lieutenant Leon Cadore, was
busted across the ribs by Quinn. John
son shot him along to second with a
sacrifice.
o Mara shot a hard one to Peckin-
paugh. who fielded it prettily and threw
to ward to nail Adams. To a large
section of the crowd it looked very
much as though Adams had been nailed
ci1lclently and thoroughly. Ward had
arrival and touched him before he slid
across. But Umpire Mulaney declared
hlm safe. At this the Yankee angora
proceeded to bleat plaintvolv. and
Quinn got himself into one difficulty
after another.
Succession Of Calamtics.
Griffith drove clean hit. TO centre
scoring Adams. Zack Wheat was given
base on balls Myers hoisted a long
one to left, giving O'Mara plenty Of
time to score In advance OF tho throw.
TO complete tho distress OF Colonel
jacob Rupert, Ivan Ivory Olson pol.d
double to centre and scored Griffith
and Wheat. This succession OF calaml~
ties settled all arguments for tho after
noon.
Larry Cheney, who relieved Cadorc in
the fifth, justified n large hunk or the
cncomiums that are being hurled in the
direction Of the Brooklyn pitching staff
thIs season. He had some Of the best
Yankee hltters swinging until their
arms creaked' Shore, who wound up
the exhibition for the Yanks, looked
mighty efficient also.
There was some emphatic pasting Of
the pill early in the game. With two
out in the Yankee section of the first
inning, Pipp sent one out to the right
held corner of this expansive campus
and 'trundled all the way home on 1t.
Grlffith retortcd with a homer for
the Lallapaloosas, driving in johnson,
who had singled. Grfiiths blow was,
II anything. more emphatic than the
one made by Pipp. 1t went sailing with
the wind over Ping Bodies head and
Ping lost enough breath to supply an
evenings earnest conversation running
the ball down.
The Yanks tied the score in the
fourth, when Bodie slashed hit
through the inhcld. Wards sacrifice
sent him to second and he came home
on Muddy Ruel's drive to centre field.
For a while it looked az though there
might be pretty tight little ball game.
Rut IN the very next inning came I'm
plrc Mullancy's disagreement with the
world in general.
Higgins Seems Satisfied
Miller Higgins is beginning to feel
that the team is rounding into shape
for the season. The morning labor
has been cut out and the athletes will
he left to their own devices until two in
the afternoon. The midget manager
also is about ready to announce a
couple of releases. The departure Of
tewster owing to the illness of his
mother, has somewhat upset plans so
far. 1t was Huggins's idea to carry the
Baltimore boy at third until the arrival
of j. Franklin Baker.
At this stage of the game it looks
continue TO watch and yearn for vet
eran nheld. though the scouts passing
through here insist that there is not
any such animal
In the matter Of the pitching staff,
the fanks are about as well off AS any
team in either league. Huggins has
