Waite Hoyt held the Cleveland cham
MONS securely In pinches yesterday and
the Yankees won the game from them,
: 10 2. a game OF no especial distinction
save a home run by Franklin Baker and
a splendid play BY Walter Pipp which
f,ung the league leaders back when they
were getting dangerous. helped Hoyt
and the rest OF the Yankees out OF q
bad place and insured the reduction OF
Cleveland's lead to one game.
Having made no headway against
Hoyt for seven innings and more istless
than alive for that time. the visiting
batters came up in the eighth with be-
lated aggressiveness They cut viciousiy

wamby singled and Speaker doubled,
and nobody was out. Smith punched
with the same ardor. He hit liner and
a hot one. but Pipp took It Just above

his position-without STRENGTHENING up
Pipp was able to whip the ball to Peck
so fast that Spencer couldn't get back 10
his shelter In time to beat It,
The play--also we'll handled by Peck
nj his end-lifted Speaker right out Of

sumrnarily converting him from
menace into dud may be appreciated
when Il is considered that Gardner came
along next with base hit and scored

showing championship zeal over seven
innings, did die hard.
Yanks Have More Life.
The Yankees had more life. had better
pitching, hit better and flelded with more
speed. although Pipp miscued twice In
the ninth only to end the game with
good catch of high and puzzling foul
They ral<ed Bagby freely, but not Sc
yerely He wasn't mauled as severely
~ it seemed he would be, and the
Yanks did not revel in runs though they
made sufficient. Hoyt was effective with
men on bases. and only in the eighth was
in trouble. His speed and his change
OF pace were useful, and he hooked In
a few that caught batters unawares
"It was well for the Yankees they
made hay while Bagby purveyed. They
did nothing at all with Uhie. uhle
Ike Hoyt had knack of whiskins
the ball over ut the corners. Umpire
Connolly called a lot OF strikes. and
they were strikes. Notwithstanding the
lamentations OF the irlSed, but de-
cesved, man of the mace.
The first inning was test of Hoyts
raettle, and. in the New York half, one
OF wasted opportunities. than which
naught Is more aggravatlng. FOR
Cleveland, Jameson singled through
Hoyt, and Speaker walked after Wamby
had sacrificed. Here was a chance for
Cleveland to get away flying, but Hoyt
smoked Smith out on strikes burning
ones. and Gardner. who hit safely
every time after that. grounded to
Pipp.
Fewster threw away at least one
run for the Yankees in the first inning
by base running which was all right
IN conception but poor in execution.
He waited 1t out on Bagby with
shrewd discrimination and walked.
Peck singled to Sewell. who threw to
Johnston and showed poor judgment
by throwing at all. Fewster headed for
third on the throw and had II safely
enough. but bungled his slide when he
had plenty of time. He overslid and
Seweil. who took Johnstons accurate
return throw, touched him out. Ruth
forced Peck. Baker doubled, Meusel
walked and Pipp flied out--two bases
on balls, single and double, and
no runs.
BAKER Nabs "a Nice One.
Fewster's two bagger in the second
sent home Shang. who had doubled.
Both Init to left. Fewster's double
struck on the foul line. Baker made a
pretty catch off Jameson in the third;
went to the grand stand for high
foul. In the same inning Baker hit
long home run into the lower grand
stand after Ruth had singled past
Wambsganss. Don't remember whether
or not he hit at two and none. but
numerous Yankees did.
The first Cleveland run was unearned.
Gardner singled and potentially was
forced when SewelI grounded to Peck,
but Peck threw low to Ward at the sec
ond sack. Johnston bounced single to
centre and fetched Gardner home. and
with one out O'Neil and Bagby gave up
the ghost on infeld plays. Hoyt jumped
FOR Bagby's thrust
Ruth was not SO eager to hit that he'd
go after the bad ones. and he outgussed
Bagby in the third, thereby enjoying a
promenade. Peripatetics are not as sat
isfying as homers. but have their uses.
This one did, for the Babe tailed on
Bakers infield out and Pipps single
through Johnston. He rushed home with
such vigor that he was there before the
House or Speaker realized he was point
ing for that portal Hoyts two bagEer.
Fewster's sacrifice aud a slow bounding
ball, Peck to Wamby, scored Hoyt in the
sixth, and that was all for the Knicker-
bockers. Uhle. also known as you'll
stopped them. The score
