Gives New York an I'm
expected Victory.
BY WILLIAM d. HANNA.

A vfct0rye victory, and the Yankees
staggered through to one at the Polo
tGrounds yesterday. It required consider
able staggering. and the Yankees won by
a score or II to s. They did a lot OF

caliber.

the part OF the Sox pitchers provided
rhe means for the yanks to come from
behind. and their playing did not pro-
vide convincing evidence that they'd
pulled themselves together and fought
on the nervousness and tension and
fiight:ness visible in their recent work.
The victory yesterday. coming from a
dark outlook. may be just the calming
and bracing influence needed.
There was lot of bad pitching In a
game all mussed UP. ShawiSey pitched

was Knocked out in the third inning.
Rip Collins did better. and though un-
steady, as he often is, did not 60 badly.

Hoyt pitched the last two innings with
more real class than any other boxman
OF the day.
Lefty Russell, White Sox. went to
pieces in the seventh inning. and Hodge.

,was that way when he began. The
:YRnks made five runs and one hit in
that inning, which contained four bases
on balls and two hit batsmen.

Peck was hit twie by Russell. The
second smack hit him on the calf of the

Sox pitchers hit MeuseI on the arm, but
the umpire wouldn't allow 1t. Hodge hit
Schang in the small OF the back. and
though 1t looked as II Schang didn't try
to avoid the ball the umpire allowed that

Babe Ruth took Faber by the arm.
He escorted him away and shook his
finger in his face as he parted from
him. Right after the game Ruth went
into the Sox's dressing room looking
for Faber. The latter wasn't there. He
had dressed and gone. Kid Gleason had
