The return Of the Prodigal is an old
story. In its millions Of feelings he
never once yet got the worst of it. To-
day the story must run to form. The
noted spaghetti grappler saw to that.
There may have been no fatted calf
concealed about the premises; the re-
: turn was sort of spontaneous bunch
following on the heels Of the injury to
Babe Ruth. But Father Higgins
eheamed affection on his erring son as
he Charlie Chaplined it to the club
house with the, rest of the exuberant
Yankees.
Francisco Pizzola wrote his name in
scarehead type through yesterdays box
score. He led the attack in both the
rallies that pried Southpaw Kinney
loose from victory. He scored the
first run and he scored the last run.
So that his homecoming, If you will
pardon the levity, was a sort of double
barreled affair. Once he came home
and once he rolled home.
Smashed Out Triple
Mr.. Pizzola signified his return to big
league fare and regular pay checks by
smashing one of Kinney's curves to the
right center exit in the third inning.
While Welsh was getting the ball back
to the infield Francisco duck-footed to
third, ending the marathon with fall
Of dust. muddy" Ruel's Texas Lacquer
dropped safely in left. But the Yam
KEGS were two runs behind, and Ping
was taking no chances. He poised on
third base, prepared to make the try in
case "Tilly" Walker got up in time for
the clutch When Chilly" threw in the
emergency brake to take the ball on the
bound Bodie sprang from his mark.
But his feet wouldn't work as fast as
his head His head and shoulders got
too much of start-too much of a
head start. Francisco Pizzola was off
balance; badly off balance. In vain he
tried to get his two gunboats up in line
with the armored cruiser-they couldn't
do it under forced draft. Half way to
the plate Ping started to topple. AS
his spikes struck the dish his nose was
only a few inches from the ground.
Pings earnestness was duly appreciated
by all present, though it got laugh,
for no play was being made on him
at all.
To return moment to the setting
that enhanced the triumph of Signor
Pizzola, Carl Mays, author of the sub
way ball, deserved his little triumph.
He pitched superbly in all save the
second inning. 1t was f1ukey hit
that got him in bad there and enabled
Philadelphia to jump out to lead of
two runs.
Athletics Score First
Dugan, the first batter of the second
inning, dropped nasty little twister
just beyond the reach of Del Pratt.
Welsh sacrificed. Perkins's out via
Pratt put Dugan on third. Galloway
was given his base on balls, though
it did seem to everybody but Tommy
Connolly that Mays struck him out.
Kinney. mighty fine portsider and
good hitter, cracked single to right
that scored Dugan and sent Galloway
to third. Dykes scratched another hit
to Peckinpaugh and Galloway tailed.
Roger made a wide throw to Pipp and
on the error Kinney raced to third.
But the miscue did no damage, as
Aaron Ward threw out Amos Strunk.
In the second inning Tillie Walker
dropped Texas league double into
right field. Two we're out and Griffin
tapped weakly to the box. In the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth innings Mays
got the Apathetics in order. Welsh hit
