NEW ORLEANS. March 2O-The
Yankees viii be in clover for sure if
they can make every trip as profitable
as this one. They headed back TO
Shreveport tonight with a clean record
Of victories made during their five days
absence from that, their temporary
home. They topped orr their success
full swing through the Southern parishes
OF Louisiana by beating the Brooklyns
again to-day. The score was s to 3.

the star slugger has made since the
game in Lake Charles, The last inning
was played with the crowd close in be-
nind the outfielders. The handling of
the crowd was poor, and the umpires
breathed easier when the game was
over. The attendance was 10000.
The Yanks won five games and lost
none on the trip. They beat the Cardi-
nails and Indianapolis once each and
the Dodgers three times. The trans
rontine pitchers are afflicted with kinks
IN their arms and are not in as good
condition as Huggins's pitchers. 1t kind

team when pitchers are not in trim. and
the National League champions will
give much better account OF them
selves when the wing men shake their
temporary ills and Wheat and Myers
enter the battle line
Mays Has Curve and Control.
Carl Mays had a good workout TO-
day. and though hit hard In alternate
innings did not worry mch, because
his own side was making runs handily
and because he had his curve and his
control III his support had held true
he would have held men on bases and
reduced the scoring. He was pretty
good In some pinches and not so good
in others
Pipp and Schang made costly mis-
plays, and Olson on the Brooklyn side
obliged with one. Olson also made
four singles.
Pfeffer did not have much on the
ball to battle batters. and the Yankee
batting under the circumstances was
not phenomenal. "A bad sixth inning

Dodgers, was mussed up considerably
