Six Hits in Last Inning
By w. 7. Macbeth

GREENVILLE, S. c., April 6-After
watching Miller Higgins and his min
ions blow the seventh in ten games
played with the Dodgers this afternoon,
there is but one conclusion to be drawn
our Yankees are the greatest gluttons
tor punishment that ever masoueraded
under big league banner. To-days
score was Z to 6. Brooklyn punching
six somewhat cheap hits off Mogridge
for the necessary five runs in the ninth
inning.
AS the thing lay at the bitter end
1T would have been impossible to award
the brown derby. The battling Colonels
would have to buy out hat store to
have enough to go around. From Hug
gins down all our ivory crop qualified
The mite manager was coaching at
third when our boys pulled couple
Of base running breaks that Pat O'Con-
nor could never have tied And our
outtielder lads turned back the hands
of time to the good old Yankee days
of Doc Cook and Birdie Cree.
Gleich behaved in right field, after
he had relieved Sammy Wick, much as
would be expected Of the proverbial
bull in the china shop entirely unac-
customed to his surroundings He al
lowed two easy flies, which he should
have caught in his hip pocket, to fall
safely.
Babe Ruth pulled his first boot of
the series, but it was a bear. With
Brooklyn at the height of its ram
page, three on bases and one already
over in the ninth, Babe darted in la
Speaker on Johnston's single to cut off
a run ct the plate. He came in a la
Speaker, but the ball went through
him la Ping Bodie. Ruth actually
ioated in retrieving. giving Johnston
three bases and Brooklyn the three
runs necessary to tie.
pulled the champ in New York's ninth,
when the Yankees might have scored
any number of times off the much
ratified Al Mamaux, but were content
with three as more than enough Lewis
hit into "a double play to end this
rally, play that was made from. third
by way of second and which was close
IN spite Of the fact that Lewis pulled
to walk when half way to first.
Gleich had crossed the plate with an
other run before Lewis was called out.
Had Duffy hustled there is no telling
what might have happened in the way
Of run making, as Meusel would have
been next at bat, with Pipp on third
and Lewis on first Meusel, who had
famed twice before Mamaux's speed
was about due for one of his copy
rlghted ciean-ups.
Mays Earns Draw
Carl Mays, who is nursing a charley
horse, pitched five innings for the
Yankees, and turned over al drawn YER
dict to George Mogridge. For four
innings Mays was opposed by Southpaw
CLARENCE Mitchell, who also acquitted
himself admirably Mitchell deserved
a shut-out on his pitching, as the
Yankee side should have been retired
before Meusel knocked the ball out of
ahead of him.
Pipp opened the fourth with neat
double TO- left. Johnston held him
there while he threw out Ruth. But
Lewis was safe on Chuck Wards wide
throw. The ball got only couple of

Wally got half way home.
IT was one of the many runs thrown
to the dogs. Meusel followed with a
wicked liner over the left field fence
Aaron Ward doubled against the center
held fence, but Zach Wheat brushed
the wire in taking Ruel's line drive.
VIZ brooklyn got run in the fourth.
Wheat singled to center and advanced
on on Myers's out. "Chuck" Ward hit
"Buck" home after Honey whizzed.
with two down in the fifth, Brooklyn
tied 1t up on Carl Mays. Neis doubled
to right and scored on Jphnston's sim
gle.
From here to the eighth it was
pitching duel between Mogridge and
MamauX. Ruth and Lewis singled with
none out in the sixth. They pulled
double steal after Mamaux had famed
both Meusel and Aaron Ward. wv o.
sen sen saved Mamaux's bacon by robbing
kuel of hit on stop that would have
done credit to Eddie Collins.
MamauX doubled and Olsen singled
IN II, the seventh, again with none out.
Olsen famed Johnston and Wheat
after Neis grounded to Peck.
The Yankees picked up a run in the
eighth. With one gone Ruth singled
and got an extra base when Olsen
