to the left field blcachers, one by Bob
bic Meusel in the fourth inning and
the other by Aaron Ward in the
eighth. with two men on, hel.ed
the Yankees to a to a decision
over the Browns in the second section
of a double header this afternoon and
gave the tourists an even break on the
day. They lost the curtain raiser,
to 3.
The Yankees were trailing in the
score in the afterpiece when their
fashy little third baseman uncorked
the wallop which turned apparent de-
feat into victory. Mcusels homer was
his ninth Of the season and Wards
four-ply wallop was his fifth Of the
year.
Dixie Davis, the author of two pre-
vious triumphs over the Yankees,
pitched the Brownies to a deserved vic
tory in the curtain raiser. He was
wild at times and issued seven passes,
but he kept the six hits of the visitors
we'll scattered. Burly Jack Quinn was
rot so effective when hostile runners
cluttered up the paths.
In the second inning, after Williams
had opened with a single to left, Earl
Smith singled to right and Williams
skidded into third Austin then tapped
a gentle roller to Quinn, who paved it
ali over the infeld, Williams romping
hcmc.
Sisler Gets Homer
In the sixth George Sisler socked
one over the right field pavilion for a
homer. In the seventh Austin defeat
ed a slow bounder through the box and
Severeid's single to right put him on
third. Davis singled to right, Austin
scoring the tieing run and SEVERED
dashing to third. Peckinpaugh grabbed
Gerber's drive to deep short and Davis
was nipped off second, but SEVERED
got home with what proved to be the
winning run.

ty-one consecutive innings the Yam
KEGS broke the ice after two were out

Peckinpaugh opened with a single TO
left, but Pipp flied to Smith and Pratt
hoisted to Williams. Ruth was pre-
sented with his ninth pass in ten con-
secutive times at bat and scored in
back of Pipp when Meusel bounced a
double off the right field wall The
Yanks made their last run in the sew
enth
In the ninth Pinch Hitter Lewis sim
gled smartly to center. Peck's drive
oozed through Gerber's legs, and when
the ball was returned Pinch Runner
Fewster was on third and Peck had
pulled up at second. Pipp grounded to
Gedeon and run-up ensued in which
Fewster and Peck came together at
third, the latter being declared out.
Pratt walked, filling the bases and
bringing Ruth to bat but the best the
Colossus could do was to fly out to
Jacobson.
Bill Bayne, of Oklahoma, faced the
Yankees at the start of the second en-
gagement, with George Mogridge in op-
position. The Browns scored run in
the first, but the Yankees Cancelled it
| in the second on Bodies triple and
