struck out "Home Run" Baker bounced
the ball against the balstrades of the
upper right field stands for home
run.
Pipp rolled hit down past Sisler
and stole seond, Pratt got a base on
balls. Francisco Pizzola busted one
down to Bronkie. 1t should have been
an easy cut and perhaps double play,
but Bronkie let the little pellet filter
between his feet. Bodie was safe and
Pipp fitted across the plate.
The marvel of the afternoon was the
sustained walloping of Wild William
Jacobson. Utterly oblivious to the fact
that the st. Louis~Browns are not going
anywhere in particular, William has
started pace that will have him pass
ing Cobb if he can sustain it. Accord
ing to Alias Al Monro his average for
fifteen games is something like .523,
and he appears to be still swiping
them merrily out.
Fewster Capable Sub
Wilson Fewster, the young Balti
morean, who was shifted from right 10
shortstop because of Peckinpaugh' in
iuries of the day previous, played &
nice game in short field. He made one
stop that was as graceful as any made
by the first line shortstop. Also he
pasted out couple of o-baggers.
Sammy Wick took the vacant place
in right field. Samuel is entirely recov-
cred from his indisposition and is now
eating his six square meals day once
more. Sammy found Bert Gallia some
thing of q puzzle though, and could not
get himself hit during the afternoon.
in the intield, which is his regular
hangout. The right field wall at the
Polo Grounds always worried him.
The Yankees got their first run in
the second INNING when Lewis started
with a two-bagger to right and went
to second on Pipp's out. Pratt smashed
Gallia for another double to the same
place, and Lewis scored. In the third
inning the Yanks gathered another
when Fewster doubled to left and
went to third on Vick's poke to short.
Bakers single brought Fewster home.
The Browns got their lone run in the
seventh, when Smith smashed two
bagger to right field. lie scored on
Gerber's nit to centre. The Yanks also
got run IN this inning. For a while
it looked as though they might get i
half dozen. Lewis got base on balls;
Iipp started to sacrifice, but beat the
throw to first. Pratt was safe when
Bronkie booted his poke and the bases
popped cut to SEVERED and the only
run scored was when Lewis came in on
Ruel's out.
Indians Here To-day

daily worry over J. Franklyn Baker,
the brittle home run king. Baker
started to chase a foul to the lower
wall OF the left field grandstand and
the colonel rose, wailing, Look out,
Frank" 1t will be recalled that Baker,
when he was younger and more Jealous,
once cracked some RIBS and put him
self out of the game for a season do
ing this very thing.
To-day the Cleveland Indians, led by
Tristram Speaker, arrive at the Polo
Grounds. This is one of the teams
that the Yankees have to trounce If
they are going to keep themselves with
in striking distance of the penant.
Also, the Indians are reputed to be
partly the property of Ban Johnson,
the disappearing car of the American
league. SO there is some rivalry in
the series that starts this afternoon.
The teams now are almost as friendly
as the Reds and the Giants.
1t is highly probable that the Indians
will meet Mr.. Carl Mays in his Yankee
spangles. This introduction probably
Will take place tomorrow, so that
there will be plenty Of witnesses to
the meeting.
.Peckinpaugh probably will be back
in the game next week. In the mean

and Sammy Wick will stay in right
