YANKEES WIN TWO
BEFORE Big CROWD
Signalize Return Home With
Victories Over Athletics
by 81 and 90.
MAYS SHOWS FINE FORM
Shawkey Goes the Full Route
for the First Time This
Season.
by WILLIAM Il, HANNA.

Friends of the Yankees and others,
X there were any others, went TO the
Polo Grounds yesterday TO the extent
OF 32 900 to see a double header with
the Athletics. They appreciated the
good work in the West under diff
culties of the Yankees. and had cause
for more appreciation yesterday. The
Yanks won both games. the first TO l.,
the second to 2. and gave two
spirited, clever performa ices.
Carl Mays pitched through the first
ore. and was under a wrap. Bob Shaw
key had no harder time pitching through
the second. He went nine innings since
ever so long ago, and If h was tagged
a bit at the finish he was far from be-
ing tagged out. He had speed to the
smoke point and a beauty of curve.
The Yankees didn't waste a bit in the
first game, hence didn't need many-not
with Mays pitching. Mays and Shawkey
showed what was up their respective
sleeve by their efficacy when invaders
were on bases.
The home teams base running was a
bright spot The ensemble as offered by
beyond the accustomed Yankee quality.
and on singles stepped off the distance
between first and third in style second
to none. Ruth. McNally, Meusel, Schang
and Hawks are all gents who can shake
a leg, with Pipp no hamstrung pilgrim
when In hurry TO get somewhere.
Mays. whose indefinite suspension was
farcica in its brevity because he proba-
bly, wouldn't have pitched in the interim
anyway, turned the Athletics back in
| the first game with such ease that it
was only an exercise gallop. They hit
him in groups of two, but with men on
bases he resumed his mastery without
SO much as shifting gears. and their
only run was the leborious extract of a
scratch double by welch. a single by
| Perkins and fielder's choice. Then
with three on and none out a double
play Peck to Schang to Ppp. relieved
! the pressure.
Connie Mack is running the team. 80
| far be ii from any layman OF the horse
shoe or any mere scrivener to wonder
why he let Harris. an excessively. II not
exceedingly. weak batsman, swing hick-
ory in the fifth with three on and none
out II was Harris who hit into the
double play.
However. Harris right we'll II was
4
press four hits into one inning. That
inning was the third Schang slashed
one. went to third when Mays singled
| on the hit and run and force out. a
promenade by Ruth and singles by Pfpp
and Meusel inflated the tally grist by
| two Schang batted in run In the
sixth and again in the eighth. More
over, he opened the three run assault.
| The Yankees started early In the sec
ond game In the first inning Peck lined
screecher to left and Ruth smacked a
two bagger through Galloway. although
the shortstop was playing back OF sec
ond for tho Babe. Pipps single and
Meusers sacrifice hoist sent In two runs.
| Fine running catches by Ward and Ruth
| of fouls garnished an interim until the
Yanks opened UP again.
Pipp's single In the fourth was fol-
lowed by a monster double. Meusel
| made II. The ball didn't strike the
ground until IT went past the Grant
memorial In centrefield. The reason II
Welded only two bases was because
/ Pipp had TO wait 20 see whether Welsh
would catch IT, 4 blue streak triple
bv Hawks sent In the two wayfarers
and Ward batted IN Hawks. That in
ming ended Rommel. For once the
Yankees cut his comb.
With Hasty on the heights Peck,
Ruth and Pipp engaged in clubbing
soiree which netted run, this In the
seventh. The Athletics made a tally In
the eighth and one in the ninth. That 3
all. Shawkey forced In one with walk
and hits by Dykes and Galloway
brought In the other. Tho Galloway
hit took a lucky bound-for Galloway
over Peck. Shawkey effaced thirteen
men on flies and eight on strikes. The
scores:
