Bob Shawkey Proves Wild
and Is Often i'm Trouble
Before the Crash Comes
By w. O. Mcclellan

Another somewhat distressing Incl
dent occurred at the Polo Grounds
yesterday when the Yankees were
nosed out of the final game with the
Apathetics by score of to 1. Those
who have been bordering over the situ-
alton have come to the conclusion that
the Apathetics are better than rated
at this time of the year, or that the
Yanks are considerably worse than they
have been rated. 1t may be little Of
both.
Shawkey, the ordinarily steady Bob
the Cob, who pitched for the Yanks,
was wilder than he ever was in his
self into holes and thenP nPitching him
self right out again. But he pitched
himself into one too many at last, and
in the sixth a couple Of Cornelius Nc
Glllicuddy's strong-arm men maced him
for double and triple, with two out,
for what proved to be the winning run.
Pinch Hitters Fail
The Yanks plastered Mr.. Naylor, of
the Apathetics, rather freely at first,
but he settled down and held them,
especially when they showed any symp-

hitters hurled into the breach in the
ninth by Miller Higgins neither
pinched nor hit, so the $4,000 who
braved the chill of the stands to see
the Yankee sluggers rip the Apathetics
apart began to wonder if Connie Mack
did not have a ball club at last after
all these years.
The only thing that placated the
multitude was the discontinue of Mr..
Connolly umpiring around second base.
Pratt was on first with two out when
he made a sudden dash for second
Perkins made good throw to Dugan,
who got the ball just as Pratt slid
acros the bag.
"Out!" declared Mr. Connolly.
"What?" demanded Mr.. Pratt. "Out,"
repeated Mr.. Connolly very emphati-
caly. =
Whereupon Pratt grinned. crawled to
his knees and exhibited the ball with
which Dugan was supposed to have
tagged him. Dugan had dropped the
ball and, to make the evidence COM
plete, Pratt had picked it up.
Mr.. Connolly promptly and properly
reversed himself This cheered the
multitude to such an extent that they
almost forgot that the Yanks were
being walloped by the lowly Phila-

ing off for Mr.. McGillicuddy's lads,
drove triple to left field. With
Strunk out, Tillie Walker singled to
right and scored Dykes.
Wally Pipp on Job
1t was Walter Pipp, who has been
swatting with vehemence and consis-
tency since the opening of the sea-
son, who aided most materially in
tying the score in the very same inn
ing. Walter drove long triple to
left center and scored when Lewis
bounced a hit past third. From that
inning until the sixth Bob the Cob
kept pitching himself into and out of
the hole until the crash came.

Lacquer that was too far in for Bodie
and too far out for Pratt. Ping tried
hard for it, but he is built more for
comfort than for speed, and it eluded
him, while Perkins took two bases.
Then Galloway lifted out triple and
Perkins strolled hom in leisurely
fashion.
That made the winning run, it
proved. In the eighth the fans were
clamoring for rally, and it looked
like the makings of one when Pratt
got double. Meusel was thrown out
by short. That left it up to Bodie
Signor Pizzola swung most earnestly,
but the best that he could do was to
slice one down to Dugan.
In the ninth Francis Xavier O'Doul
was sent in to pinch for Muddy Ruel,
or. as the announcer said, "ODoul for
O'Rouel," but nothing of moment fol-
lowed the substitution. Neither did
Gleich do anything for Shawkey. The
shame last night. The Senators will
annoy them to-day.
