Truck Hannah is blocking all the
traffic which the Yankees had headed
toward Pennantville. Truck it was
who, by his miserable throwing and
general all-round arkwardness yes
terday afternoon, aided and abetted
the Cleveland Fohllies in winning their
second straight game from the Yanks.
The score was to 8. The Chicago
White Sox also won, and as q result
the Colonels' Boys are plunged deeper
into third place.
Stanley Coveleskie, one of the two
brothers who have always taken the
greatest delight in humbling the base
ball teams Of the Big Town, was in
the box for the visitors, and barring
one inning, when the home nine COL
lected three hits and two runs, Stanley
was not very much worried as to the
outcome. Truck Hannah had made his
pathway more than smooth early in
the contest, and all Coveleskie had to
do was to hold tight to the lead Truck
had furnished him.
Quinn Deserves Better Fate
The Woodworking Jack Quinn was
the Yankee twirler for seven innings,
and it is possible that Jack might have
squeezed out viHory despite Truck
if he had been permitted to remain on
the mound, but he was removed to al
low AL Wickland to make his third
vain attempt in the pinch hitting line
The new outfielder showed some i'm
provement as he succeeded in rapping
the ball as far as the pitcher on this
occasion, whereas on his two previous
appearances in the pinch he had
famed.
It was in the second inning that
Truck Hannah got In his fine work
Gardner singled to centre and Wamby
sacrificed, Gardner beating Bakers toss
to Peckinpaugh at second Gardner
took long lead and Hannah threw
several feet wide of the bag in an
endeavor to catch the ex-Red Sox.
The ball rolled out to Ping Bodie and
Gardner naturally went to third
Johnston singled to left and Gardner
Tailed. Wamby going to second.
O'Neill hit into a double play, Pratt
10 Pipp, Wamby taking third. The
of third that Truck Hannah got busy
- Baker that Wamby scored.
The Fohllies picked up another run
il tie fifth through double by O'Neill
nd single by Graney, who promptly
stole second aided by another bad
brow of Hannah's. Lunte, however,
vas an easy out, Pratt to Pipp, and
L
20 Wick.
Roger Peckinpaugh, who is showing
ne way to all his mates in the batting
line. drove a home run into the left
iield bleachers, starting the sixth, but
he rest of the "Murderers" were help
less and the one tally was all. The !
Eohllies added their final counter in
The eighth, when Mogridge had relieved
Quinn, base on balls to Speaker, two
sacrifice hits and single by Johnston
doing the work.
Yankees Make Stand
The Yankees made brave stand in
their half, but fell one short of tying
up the game. Wick singled to left and
took an extra base on Graney's tumble
Peck flied to Speaker, but Baker
doubled to left, tallying Wick. Lewis
singled over third, scoring Baker, and
Coveleskie was on the anxious seat
Pipp helped the Cleveland pitcher out
of his difficulty by swinging wildly at
the frst ball pitched him and was re-
tired on pop to Lunte. Pratt walked,
but Ping Bodie, whose batting average
is dwindling with startling rapidity,
famed and it was all over.
To-day the battle will be renewed,
and If Truck is permitted to take the
rest which is due him the Yankees
may give a better account of them
selves; that is, unless some other
player takes it upon himself to block
the traffic.
The score:
