SHREVEPORT, La. March 25.--It Is not
| TO be supposed that one team will SO on
beating another forever II the latter is
big league champion. The Yankees
| think they olght never 20 lose q game 10
the Brooklyns. but they did lose one to-
| day. In the first meeting Of the two IN
Shreveport the National League cham
rions won easily. The score was to 5.

Robinson's pitchers. Cadore and Smith.
| did better than Huggins's pitchers, ana
| the Yankees. slnggers though they De,
were outhit considerably. Huggins
pitchers were Harper. Ferguson and
Clifford, and Of these three only FerGu-
son produced good pitching. They could
not score or Ferguson. but they scored
| extensively off Harper and Clifford, aided
by wayward fielding on the part OF Ger
tain members of the supporting cast.
Johnny Mitchell produced most cost
Iy error. one TO which Ave Brooklyn runs
were traceable, and Fewster produced
one when he was not fast enough getting
to second to take perfect throw from
Schang. Brooklyn's fielding was stili
more spotted, but they did not suffer be-
cause they made heap of hits ana the
Yanks tossed away chances by poor pase
running Olson had worse day than
Mitchell, but not as costly one

over the fence by Kilduif and an error oy
Fewster in letting SChang's throw go
through completed the dire Increment OF
the 'nning.
Fcwster did what he could to atone.
He lifted home run over the left Held
fence In the same groove as Kilduf's In
the New York third. Ruth, Pipp and
McNary did the hitting which brought
the rest OF the New York tallies. Ruin
was stinging them very hard. but his
careless base running cut short New
York rally In the sixth. Mitchell was
caught mapping at first after making
single in the ninth with nobody out. Cliff
ford was logged for six hits in the last
two innings, but he Is a gritty fellow.
and pitched we'll with men on bases.
Wheat I'm Lineup.
Zach Wheat was in the Brooklyn
battle line for the first time. His first
time UP ne punched the first bail

ball pitched the first time UP Is getting
ones eye In a hurry. Hug tried mis-
young outfieder Nelson Hawks, In
