Special Despatch 10 tbs sus.

JAoKsoNvILLE, Fla, March a1.--Mem-
bers OF the Yankee second team Tonight
entered a protest against being labelled
the recruits. They were around all
dressed up like sore fingers and as
ohesty as a man with a brown derby
The recruits took on the regulars in the
third game OF the series this afternoon,
and try as the big fellows would they
could not escape beating by to 1.
It was the second straight victory
for the youngsters, who had won by a
similar score on Friday, ana the third
successive defeat for the regulars, who
on Saturday swallowed q lacing from
the Brooklyns in between beatings from
the recruits
However the regulars aid not appear
to be disconnected tonight They were
around taking their Ice cream sodas
as usual, getting ready for another
assault on the Brooklyns tomorrow
afternoon.
Duffy Lewis played left field for the
regulars and appeared In a uniform
other than that Of the Red sox for the
first time In ten years Lewis looked
rather natural with that n. Y. across
his chest and he put up an acceptable
game both in the field and at bat lie
accounted for one hit, a single.
HOmer ny FRANK name.
The big feature of the fracas was the
homo run by Frank Kane of the re.
cruits 1t was the fret home run made
Mt South Side Park this year and took
tho form of swat almost TO the centre
field fence. The field here is larger than
the playing surface at the Polo Grounds
and II would take a mighty prodiglous
swat to clear any OF the fences. Kane
leaned on the ball as Il came In waist
high and scored Nelson ahead OF him.
Aside from Kane's four bag bang the
feature was the pitching OF old Jack
Quinn. Jack worked the first three
rounds for the recruits and all the regu-
lars could get was one hit. Nelson re.
loved him and gave UP seven safeties.
Pete Schneider went three innings for
the regulars and was located for four
hits while Ferguson, who followed him,
yielded one more.
The assignment OF Lewis TO the regu-
lars sent Sam Wick TO the recruits and
Sam delivered a protest in the shape Of
three base hit. Elmer Miller was no
Peck at shortstop. as he gave many a
ball the howdedoo, but at the bat he
was veritable Cobb. He slammed out
three Dagger in the sixth inning with
two on and sewed UP the old ball game

Pipp HIT on Eye.
Waffle Pipp was the victim OF the frst
a ccident OF the season. In batting prac-
tice this morning he stopped a nasty
bounder with his right eye and suf-
fered a nasty cut right over that organ.
Higgins gave some OF the boys a long
session at the sliding pit this afternoon.
He paid particular attention to ODoul.
The left handler Is doing very little pitch
Ing. and when working In the outfeld
for tho recruits has orders not to make
any lo9g throws.
Lewis says that he would not be sur
prised II the Yankees gave him some
more worlds series change this year. He
likes the looks OF the team
Ernie SHORE II taking things very
easy He was out all last season, and
Higgins Is not rushing him. Shore Is
on a go-as-you-please schedule
