By Charles A. Taylor

Of a victory over the ST Louis Browns
at the Polo Grounds yesterday after
noon, and the series now stands two TO
one in favor of the home nine The
final count of the third game was to
4. 1t took only two innings, and the
first two at that, to show Lee FohPs
Fohllies of 1921 fLee changes mana
gerial berths each year, that there was
trouble in store for eny pitcher he
might produce. Mr. Foh1 produced four
before the last man was retired
The first twirler TO appear on the
mound for the Browns was a certain
Dir. Boland. who until this year mad
been member of the Detroit Tigers
and as such had been most effective
against the Yanks practically every
time he was called upon to oppose the
New Workers. He never seemd TO have
much in the way of speed or curves,
but he got away with it. 1t was a diff
ferent tale Yesterday, for the Yanks
disposed OF Boland in one and third
innings.
Bob Meusel had lot TO do with the
sudden demise Of Boland. as the lanky
rightfelder raped out a home run
into the upper tier of the grand stand
with two men on base. This occurred
in the first inning.
A person by the name of Bayne sue
ceeded Boland as the St Louis box
man, and he was treated even more
severely than his predecessor, although
none of the Yanks went. so far as TO
knock homer. Frank Baker came the
closest to this sort of hit The for
mef home run king knocked out
triple.
Boland Departs in Second
The fruitful first inning of the Yam
KEGS was introduced by Chick Fewster,
who perished on fly over third as the
result of long running catch by Viii
hams. Peekinpaugh drew a base on
balls. but Babe Ruth's linz. drive to
center fell into the hands of Tobin.
Plpp singled off the glove of Jacobson
and then Bob Meusel drove the first
ball pitched to him into the upper tier
OF the right field stand for home run.
In the second inning Boland was so
greatly perturbed that he walked both
Fewster and Peek. When Ruth followed
Win single to center, which scored
Fewster, boland was removed from the
mound in favor of Bayne. Pipp vel
coined the new pitcher with double to
1he rlght field wall, on which Peck

safely, but Ruth forced Peck at seq.
