Dodgers pitching staff has not evel
coming pennant race.
Some 5000 local enthusiasts saw the
"a sBrooklynites emulate bunch Of high
q x6chool boys. The Yankees hit the ball
a SO every corner of the field and ran
the bases until they were just about
exhausted.
sban artist, was meekly led TO the
slaughter at the start of the game.
Mitchell managed to get by the first
inning without much difficulty, but he
WAS plastered for six hits in the sec
"--- ond. and these netted the Yankees ex-
actly eight runs. Young Mr.. Milius,
who succeeded Mitchell. was bumped
for five more runs in the third inning.
For the remainder of the game the
assault was Somewhat less terrific.
Two Homers Each for Ruth and Schang
- Babe Ruth was prominent member
OF the reception committee. The Bam-
bino greeted Miljus with home run
over the right field fence. 1t was his
first circuit clout since the game with
the st. Louis Cardinals about ten days
ago. The Babe also drove another over
the same fence in the seventh inning
while Hawks was on first base. The
home-run honors of the day, however,
were not usurped by Ruth, for Wallie
Schang also treated himself to two
drives out of the lot.
During the course Of the afternoon
the Yankees compiled the grand total
of twenty hits. These included four
Sangsrs beme runs ws triple and three tWo
two pitchers. Bob. Shawkey and Carl
Mays, pinch-hitter Wingo and Aaron
Ward, each of the Yanks got at least
two hits. Wallie Pipp led tho on
sllaught with two doubles and two sim
giles in five trips to the plate and Bob
Meusel and Schang each got three
safeties in four times at bat. Meusel
drove out a three-bagger and two sim
giles and Schang. connected for single
IN addition to his pair of home runs.
Yankee Pitchers Toy With Champs
While their teammates were making
merry at the bat, Shawkley and Mays
were turning the Dodgers back with
ridiculous ease. Shawkey retired his
opponents in order in the first two
innings, but he yielded two hits in the
third. one of which was a home run by
Pete Kiiduff, and three more in the
fourth. Mays took up the pitching bur-
den in the fifth and only nine batters
faced him in the next three innings. !
After that he eased up and was found |
for one single in the eighth and two
more in the ninth.
Roger Peckinpaugh, captain and star
shortstop of the Yankees. made his
first appearance of the season in the
regular lineup and showed some flashes
OF bis cldtime form in the field. He
handled five chances without slip and
IN the seventh inning he made Won
cerful stop of Konetchy's bounder over
second base. Peck also got double
and single in five times at bat.
The Yanks' marvellous pair of Young
infielders, Ward at third base and Few
ster at second, again gave splendid
exhibition. Incidentally Fewster has
been performing in the lead-off role
with noteworthy success, and his work
in the field is of the very best Man
ager Higgins is going to have a tough
out of the regular lineup. Fewster
came through with three singles in his
first three trips to the plate this after
noon. and in addition he scored two
!. u runs.
~ Schang Swats Two Long Homers
Schang lifted his first home run over
ses the distant left field wall off Milius in
: the third, Fewster followed with his
~ third single. The next four batters hit
: -, sss safely before Miljus could regain his
composure, Hawkins getting single,
Ruth home run, Pipp a double and
Meusel another single. There was no
further scoring on the part of the
Yankees until the sixth inning, when
sSchang slammed a terrific clout over
the fence in deep left center. Three
more runs came in the seventh on
base on balls, Ruth's second circuit
.ciout, double by Pipp and a single
by Meusel.
Uncle Robbie led his battered cham
Iplons back to their training camp at
New Orleans on an early train to-
might. They are slated to open two
game series with the Browns to-mor-
row. They will also meet the Indian
..apolis Club of the American Associa-
stlon in two contests before resuming
relations with the YANKEES in the Cres- !!
cent City next Sunday.
