New-York tribune., 1919-05-06

Athletics, when old, reliable Bob Shaw
key had come to his rescue, was simply
case of being a bit short of work
owing to the inclement weather of earlv
spring.
Hammer Dumont Hard
Quinn pitched the sort of haseba11
around which championships ara built
tie displayed every element Of conf
dence and inspired confidence in his
support. None could ask for better de-
fensive play than that furnished by the
Yankees. And as to the offence-well
New York hammered Dumont ont Of tho
box and peppered Carl Mays for fur
ther orders. Dumont and Mays, by the
way, are two young men upon whom

to qualify for the next world series
Murderers Row was not ell that the
Mite Manager might have expected of
it to-day-that is. the top end of it, at
least. Sammy Wick went hitless, strik-
ing out on each OF his first three ap-
pearances. Wally Pipp and Home Run
Baker could not break into the hits
column. But the failure of these two
heavy pieces of ordnance was more
than atoned for by the supposedly weak
end Of the line Quinn not only
pitched we'll, but with his battery mate,
Muddy Ruel, contributed heavily in
the cannonading. Each of these deliv-
cred q brace OF blows that helped the
Yankee cause immeasurably. Pratt,
Lewis and Bodie, not forgetting Peck
lnpaurh, contributed a blow apiece.

five runs.
Luck broke for Boston in the first
inning, when Dumont turned the Yam
KEGS back scoreless after they had filled
the bases with one out. Peck singled
and took second on wild pitch. When
Pipp hit to Scott Roger beat the throw
to third. Baker strolled, filing 'em
up. Pratt lined out wickedly, but Witt
made daring one-handed clutch right
over the bag, which base he tagged,
doubling Peck before the latter had
chance to get back.
In the second, however, the visitors
scored a run and were never headed
Lewis walked and took second on
Bodies single. Ruel, too, singled to
right. Lewis pulled up at third, but
Ping Bodie raced blindly around sec
ond base and was out block when
alters relayed Hooper's good throw
to Scott. Jack Quinn, however, struck
a telling blow in self defence. 3 single
Ruel on third. Sammy Wick famed a
second time and Peck forced Quinn.
Pratt Scores Pipp
Another came in the third Pipp
walked, took second while Barry was
tossing out Baker, and scored on
Pratt's single that eliminated Dumont

doubled with Pratt
Things were going along swimmingly
for Quinn meanwhile. He squeezed
out OF tight hole in the first, after
hitting Strunk, following Hooper's
single with one out He famed Dumont
after Walters had doubled with two
down in the second. But any idea he
may have entertained as to a shut-out
was dissipated when the mighty Babe
Ruth came to bat the second time.
Ruth, who had flied to Wick in the
trouble, and so deeply that Barry was
able to sprint from second to third
after the catch. was not to be denied
twice in "suction." Quinn NAV have
been a bit careless with him in the
fourth, as Babe was the first batter.
Anyhow, Barrow's bad boy loosencd a

and was on third base when the dust
clouds lifted. He scored while Peck
was throwing out McInns.
Only once thereafter was Quinn
crowded. He was in close quarters in
the seventh. Witt singled to centre and
was forced by Scott. But Walters beat
a bunt. Mays flied to Vick so far out
that Scott moved TO third after the
each. On. an attempted double steal
Ruel picked Scott Off third with Bakers
assistance.
Yankees Annoy Mays
Meanwhile the Yankees continued to
annoy Carl Mays as they had annoved
Dumont. In the sixth they cIinched
the game with brace of tallies. Mavs

walked Lewis, too. Bodies long fv to

doubled to right field, scoring Baker
and Lewis, but Muddy was caught trv-
