BOSTON, Sept. 2.-The Yankees
brief winning streak ran aground to-
day on the same ragged reef where the
Indians and the White Sox recently
came TO grief. Aided and abetted by
their opponents blunders the Red Sox
registered an easy triumph over the
Rupert Huston forces, and have now
won eight of their last nine starts
against the Cleveland, Chicago and New
York clubs. The score was to 2.
Lanky Elmer Myers, once Of the Apa-
thetics and late of the Cleveland In
diars scored his fifth consecutive vic
Hugmen to five scattered hits. One of
these was home run poke by Aaron
Ward when the bases were totally de-
void Of occupants at the time.
Only once did the Yankees threaten
the Boston hcevor. The first three men
to face Myers in the sixth got pass
single and q double, respectively, but
Pipp was caught off second and Lewis
subsequently batted into double play
Pip Checks Rally
Battling Bob Shawkey started in the
box for the Yanks, and his wildness in
the first inning sent the Sox away to n
two-run lead. Hooper led off with a
of the plate. Shawkey attempted to
force Hooper at second, but heaved the
ball past Bodie in center field, Hooper
scoring and Witt reaching second. Me-
nosky's sacrifice put Witt on third,
whence he scored on Hendryx's single
to center. Mc1nnis pulled a steaming
liner down the first base line, but Pipp
raked it in with one hand and flattened
the rally by stepping on first for q
double play.
Another double play stopped the Sox
in the second after they had scored q
run. Schang started with triple to
brought him home with single through
the box. Manager Miller Higgins sent
Bob McGraw scuttling to the bull pen
but Shawkey pulled himself together
and retired the side without further
scoring, Brady popping to Peck and
Myers grounding to Pratt, whose peg to
Peek forced Scott and was relayed to
first in time to double I'D the batter.
Ward unleashed his homer-a long
fly over Tim Hendryx's head-in the
third inning, but the run thus accounted
for was promptly eancelled by the Red
Sox in the home half. H0oper was an
easy out, but Witt walked. stole second
with the help Of short passed bal!
and cantered home on a double by
Hendryx.
Pipp Asleep at Second
Scott's tumble on Peckinpauehs easy
roller, Pratt's single to left and an in
field out, gave the Yanks one run in
the fourth, and they might have scored
bunch in the sixth if Pipp and Lewis
had shown more life on the bases. Pipp
was the Yankee lead-off man in this
| session and he received a pass. Meusel
singled to center and the stage ap-
pearcd to be set for an oldfashioned
Yankee rally.
But with Pratt at bat Pipp took toe
long a lead of second and was caught
fat-footcd when Schang pulled a SNAP
throw to Scott. Pratt then doubled to
right, sending Meusel to third aud
bringing Duffy Lewis to bat.
! Lewis hunted down the first bate lire
and. instead Of running out his hit
came to dead halt as McInnis scoopce
up the ball and Strengthened out for 6
throw to the plate. Not until Mclnnis
had made his throw did Lewis get un
! der way again, and then he was sc
painfully slow in picking up speed thai
/ Schang had ample time to put the bal
on Meusel and whip it down to first fol
double play.
