Special Derpntch TO TIM NEW York HERALD
Sr. Lours. April 23.-Twice in to-day's
game between the Yankees and the
Browns did Davis fill all the bases by
passing Ruth. The first time he adopted
this safety first policy. in the seventh
inning. Pipp struck out and the jeers or
the fans were turned to cheers. The
next time he tried It, in the ninth. Ptpp
came through with single to centre and
scored the runs that gave the Yanks a
8 to decision over the Browns.
Davis Is a notable Yankee jinx and
pitched them into AFFECT submission In
fve consecutive games last year. For
a time this afternoon Il looked as though
he still had power to subdue the metro
politan maulers. In the hrst three in
nings he pitched TO only ten batsnen
and retired the side without a run after
Ward had tapped him for q triple at the
start OF the third round.
After that however, Davis developed
a streak of wildness. In order to get
his stuff across the plate he was forced
10 groove ii and was hit with increasing
vigor in consequence. Not all of the
Yankees blows went safe. but those
which did counted heavily in the result
Young Waite Hoyt was Davfs's heav-
ing opponent and scored his third con-
secutlve triumph in the West He had
\ stormy time of it in the first five In
nings, but emerged from some threaten
ing situations with minimum OF runs
against him. Thus four singles by con-
secutive batsnen with none out In the
second yielded only one run, and
homer and a couple OF singles were good
for only one more in the fourth. The
only time the Browns got their blows In
really profitstia sequence was the fifth,
In which Sisler poled a homer to the
right field bleachers after Tobin had
peeled off a single.
Bodies Hit Ties Score.
Bodie replaced Roth IN centre field
and delivered the hit in the sixth which
drove in the run that tied the score at
I all. His fielding was not so good,
however, and the indications are that
another change Will be made in the out
field assignment after the Yankees re-
turn to New York.
Consecutive singles by Williams, Sew
creid, Smith and jacobson gave the
Browns one lone run in the second
after the Yanks had been retired In
order in the first two rounds. With the
bases filled and none out, however. Hoyt
tightened up and there was no further
scoring Lee hitting into double play
which nipped SEVERED at the plate and
Davis being called out on strikes.
Peclinpaugh's double to left at tho
opening of the fourth paved the way to
two runs. After Peck had peeled off his
two-bagger Ruth slapped a erounder to
Gerber which trickled through the
Brown short stop and rolled into centre
field, Peck going to third and the Babe
reaching second. Peck completed the
circuit on Pipps infleld out and the
great Bambino counted on Meusers sim
