been easy outs went for extra base
The Dodgers scored all their runs off
Carl Mays, who was on the mound for
the first six innings. He was slammed
rather freely IN the alternate innings,
beginning with the first. but he pitched
good ball in the other sessions. Bill
Piercy, who succeeded Mays. did not
allow hit until Ivy Olson connected
for his fourth single of the afternoon
in the ninth.
Robbie is very hard pressed for
pitchers, az most of his twirlers are
to borrow young Phillips from the
local Southern League Club to relieve
Big jeff Pfeffer in the sixth. The
Yanks found Pfeffer for six hits and
four runs, but they chnched the game
soon after Phillips took the mound by
showing four runs across in the sixth.
Ruth Disappoints Fans
Babe Ruth again disappointed the
local fans by neglecting to drive one
out of the park, but he got triple in
the third inning. The hit was of the
ground rule variety. but it was pretty
healthy wallop, at that. With the ex-
ception of base on balls. the Babe
did not get on the bases again.
The Yankees scored in the first in
ming. "Chick" Fewster started things
with n clout along the left field foul
line. The ball mixed up with few of
the spectators, and when Lamar finally
returned the ball to the infeld Fewste r
was perched on third base. Roth went
out on grounder to Kilduf, but
"Chick" was held, at third Fewster
then came home on Ruth's bounder to
Kilduff
The Dodgers second baseman made
his third assist of the inning on Pipp's
grounder.
Mays was plastered for three hits in
the Dodgers half of the first, and
these netted the Brooklynites a pair of
tallies,
Olson opened the assault on the
underhand twirler by poking out a
to Pipp in left field and Griffith
hoisted another to Bodie in center.
Honey hit one along the right field
foul line which went for y three
Dagger under the ground rules. Olson
scored on the hit and Honey completed
the circuit a moment later on Lamar's
single to left. Neis forced Lamar at
second on grounder to Mitchell.
Neis Pulls Rare Play
Bernie Neis pulled rare play in
the second inning, during which the
lanks tied the score. Bode hit fly
to left field and Lamar was camped
to come down. Neis came tearing
across from center field and took the
pellet right off the astonished Lamar's
hands. Ward then shot a single to
left and Mitchell chased him across
with ground-rule triple into the
crowd in right field. Mitchell was run
down between third base and the plate
on Schang's bounder to kilduf. Mays
drove single to left, putting Schang
Once more the Yanks took the lead
in the third inning by chasing two
runs across. Roth led off with single
to left and Ruth then dropped a fly into
the crowd in right field for three bases,
scoring Roth. Pipp poked out fly to
Neis and Ruth easily beat the throw
to the plate.
The Dodgers refused to quit, how
ever, and back they came in their half
OF the third and tied the count. Olson
started the bombardment with single
to RIGHT, and Sheehan followed with
another to the same field. Griffith
drove one more to left. and when Plpp
let the ball roll through his legs both
runners completed the circuit and
Griffith pulled up at second: Mays
frightened up at this point and put an
abrupt end to the parade around the
bases.
In the fifth inning the Brooklyn play
crs went out in front by scoring one
run. Again it was Olson who started
the trouble, for he slashed out his third
single in row, this time to left field.
Ivy stole second and continued on to
third when Schang threw the ball to the
Eo1I kan Q;o1 Dnfh l,r,f
Olson was held on third Griffith fol-
lowed with another fly to Roth and
when Ruth intercepted the throw from
the outfield to cut Olson down at the
plate Ivy was safe.
Explosion in the Sixth
The explosion came in the sixth and
the Yankees went into the lead and
stayed there for the rest of the after
noon.
They took advantage of Phillips's in
effectiveness in that inning and scored
four runs on three-baggers by Meusel
and Fewster, Olson's error, base Oh
balls and single by Schang.
Chick Fewster batted against JEFF
PETER for the first time since the
youngster was almost fatally injured
by being hit by pitched ball at the
Jacksonville training camp last spring
Chlck displayed no fear OF the big
twirler as he slammed outa three base
hit on his first trip to the plate.
Ruth's three -bagger was only his
third safe hit since the Yanks started
on their fve-day tour last week. The
Babe got home run against the Card-
nails at Lake Charles and single here
yesterday afternoon in addition to his
hit to-day.
Before the game started Ruth was
presented with the customary basket
Of flowers by the local Council Of the
knights of Columbus.

camp at Shreveport, after having gained

there last Tuesday. The fsud with the
Dodgers will be resumed at Alexandria.
