mates Give Him Big
Advantage at the Start

CHICAGO, July 9.-The New York
Yankees care absolutely nothing for q
load of eight runs. They proved that
this afternoon when they threw away
an advantage Of just such generous
proportions and lost their second con-
secutive game to the White Sox by a
score of 10 to 9, and they dallied
through sixteen innings to do it.
There was no alibi, the Yankees went
down because when their slugging
prowess failed them they had nothing
left. They had no cunning, nothing in
the world that mattered. They were
just numbering, slow-moving objects
that failed to sense chances when they
had them.
Miller Higgins can blame himself as
much as any one else. In the fifteenth
inning Peck singled and Ruth, who had
done next to nothing, hit into double
play. If Ruth had hunted Bakers hit
might have won the game. In the last
inning Pipp got to third base and Hoyt
elected to try the squeeze play. Hoyt
missed and Pipp was out at the plate
In the eleventh frame Meuse doubled
and was out at third on fine play
Pipp was safe on the resulting choice.
Pipp then went to second and tried to
score on Schang's single to short right,
but failed.
Falk Starts Rally
In the last of the sixteenth, with one
out, Falk singled to left, went to Sec
ond on MostiPs out and scored on
Sheely's wallop to left.
Kid Gleason went to Eddie Twombly,
guided him to the pitchers box. gave
him the key and told him to do his
Eddie tried andshen gave the job ~ to
Lefty Wieneke, who ultimately retired
in favor Of Shovel Hodge, who held the
situation in hand to the end. Carl
Mays had big lead, but he failed to
make good, and the Yankees lost.
The Yankees stepped right out at the
start to lazy foundation for victory
in the first inning, getting two runs.
Chick Fewster, the first batter, was hit
by a pitched ball, following which Peck
walked. Ruth, however, failed utterly
at impressiSg Twombly with proper
appreciationyof his Importance and
right, scoring Fewster and sending
Peck to third Meusel then bid for a
home run, but the wind, blowing out
Of the north, held the leather within
the .6eld, and Falk, running hard, was
able to make capture. Peck scored.
The second found the Yankees out on
the scoring trail again. Ward ripped q
single to right field, and Schang
walked. After Mays had retired on a
fly to right, Chick Fewster ripped a
double down the left field foul line,
scoring Ward and putting Wallie
Schang on third. Peck's long drive
sent Schang pattering over the plate.
There was a slight let-up in the third
inning, but in the fourth the Yankst
sent Twombly to the showers and took
a look at Lefty Wieneke.
Gleason might have known that
where Wiene enters, the Wurst is sure
to follow. Ward glowered at Twombly,
made threatening gestures and then
beat out tap in front of the plate.
Schang was in hitting mood and
laced to right for base, putting Ward
on second. When Mays was hit by
pitched ball the bases were filled with
no one out, and Gleason decided that
it was time to dispose of Twombly. He
sent Wienecke into the game. Fews-
ter flied to Eddie Collins and Peck
forced Mays at second, Ward scoring.
Babe Ruth singled, driving home
Schang.
Two Moresox Tallies
The Yankees picked up two more
runs in the seventh and were sitting
pretty behind an eight-run lead when
things began to happen. In the las.
half of the seventh the White Sox got
after. Mays hot foot. Strunk and Falk
singled and Mostil was hit by a pitched
ball, filling the bases. Shelly was out
on an infeld fly to Peck and Schalk
forced Mostil. Wienecke, however,
singled to left and successive hits by
johnson and Mulligan followed, pro-
ducing three runs.
e.. Those three tallies were of little mo-
ment, but in the eighth two more tai
lies followed on pass, a triple and an
infeld out.
Mays was routed and the score was
tied in the ninth while the South Side
fans went dippy in baseball delights.
Hodge'started with single to left and
j ohnson walloped to center. Muligan
grounded to Mays, who threw to Ward,
forcing johnson. Ward, however, threw
wild and Hodge scored. Eddie Collins
and strunk singled, thus putting MAYS
out of action. Falk and Sheely singled
or Hoyt, scoring in all four runs and
knotting the count.
The score.
