10000 Fans Roar as the
Yankees Win One Game
Second Game Rally Enables New Workers to Emerge
With an Even Break With Boston = Meusel
There With Homer on Polo Grounds.
By WILLIAM h. HANNA.

A rally in the eighth inning OF the
second game shunted off a double de-
feat for the aspiring Yankees at the
Poio Grounds yesterday afternoon and
made a complete and sudden change IN
the feelings Of 10000 spectators. The
attendance reached that figure. or there.

appeared to be the largest that ever saw
a game In New York. The Red Sox
won the first game, to /, the Yankees
saved the second with some concentrated
and indomitabIe slugging in the eighth
inning and won. to l.
The playing field was sight at the
end of the afternoon, Uttered with torn
paper and the wreckage OF straw hats.
A wild and boisterous finish topped off
an afternoon In which heartstrings were
wrung until they were all out Of tune.
A tolerant---or charitable-view Of the
paper fiinging and straw hat ninging
was that 1t was sheer exuberance.
A lot of 1t was done before the Yan-
KEGS made their long deferred rally. and
there couldn't have been much exuber-
ance then. Whatever the motive, the
high jinks became nuisance, inter-
ferred with the play. approached nearer

of. and It Is hoped will not be repeated.

can get their "fun" in a more seemiy

Pop Bottle Nearly Hits Catcher.
A pop bottle crashed down on the wire
back OF the catcher while the second
game jubation was on, but this was the
only instance of a sawdust brain which
would add glassware to the rest OF the
debris Silly business, by and large.
silly and wanton. and not to be asso-
ciated with the genuine roofing which
attended the Yankee rally. That was
natural and spontaneous. The other was
artificial and Ill fitting, and probably
not at all amusing or edifying to ma
jority Of the splendid assemblage. The
less of that kind OF stuff the better.
A spirit of unrest seized thousand
men and boys in the last half OF the
ninth inning of the second game and,
after the manner OF their needless kind

umpires had to stop the play until these

There was work OF uniform excellence
by the pitchers, however, Hoy. and
Bush Of the supercilious smile in the
first game, Piercy, Shawkey and Karr-
excepting the last named's eighth inning
slump-in the second. The Yankees
had pitching plenty good enough to win
two games. Piercy, after going we'll
stepped out of the second game to make
room for pinch hitter. Snawkey took
his game and finished invincibly.
Bush Wizard fn Pinches.
Bush OF the supercilious smile was a
wizard In pinches in the first game and
held the Yanks to seven bits. Ten OF
them were left on bases, and Walter
Pipp marooned six by his weak batting
in pinches. More robust Stating by him
would have won the game Hoyt held
the Red Sox to five hits and deserved
as well as Bush. His support begged
down recurrently. The errors Of Peck
and Pipp had most to do with two Bos-
ton runs.
The Giants have their Frisch the
Yankees have their McNally. Mike was
a wonder at third base yesterday in
both games, sometimes with one hand,
sometimes with two. He was ambi-
dextrous in his grabbing, and he ate up
balls he had to go In for. He kept pace
with the hitting, too. Defensively and
he and Elmer Miller outshone
the rest OF the Yankee menage and sur
passed several OF them in backbone.
Peck fumbled Leibold's grounder In
the first inning OF the first game Hoyt

showed II had. He made mistake OF

grooved one, and Pratt slapped II to
left for two bases. He drove In two
runs with it. He tried to score from
third when Collins flied to Babe, but he
hits the ground harder than he hits the
breeze, and Ruth threw him out
The Babe scored in the Same inning.
Bush passed him, Pratt dropped Ruel's
throw he set out to steal, and while he
was dusting for third Meusel singled
and scored him. The Yanks we're more
aggressive in that inning than all the
rest put together.
Pipp dropped Wards throw on Pratt
