PIPP'S HITTING VALUABLE
By WILLIAM b. HANNA.

BY WILLIAM b. HANNA.
The Yankees we're unsteady yesterday
in their second game of the midsummer
series with Detroit. but much more alive
and combative than the day before and
beat the Wolverine crowd. TO 8. In
some innings they were far astray in
their efforts to hit George Dausss pitch
ing and did lot OF inept popping, but
they clustered hits vindictively and
profitably in two innings. They had their
dander up, were out there for business
and with chip on the shoulder.
They wern't seeking quarrels, but
weren't avoiding any. Mays pitched well
enough to shut the Tiger troupe out and
would have done so but for the sun and
two errors Not that there is any de-
sire to find fault with the sun. 1t shines
for all even If 1t did shine into Ruth's
eyes and is an exceedingly useful and
popular member of the solar system.
Nor did tumble by Ward and muff by
Meusel work serious mischief with the
Yankees well being though they made
the situation embarrassing for time.
At one time it appeared that Mays

bitterly to Umpire Chill of the Detroit
bench and the game was held up a

Not then, but later when Mays was at
bat. this cheap and guttersnipe form of
heckling broke out again, and Chill went
20 the Detroit bench and stopped It.
However. Mays did not allow the Incl
dent to get the better Of him. He
quickly reconcentrated on his work,
pitched a steadily effective game, and,
as he generally is, was equal to the
pinches. 1t was in the fourth that he
lost his poise for a moment; but, aided
by the throttiing by Ruth and Schang of
runner at the plate. he instantly re-
gained 1t. The hits of the hostiles were
scattered and the hitting of Cobb was
nil, not to say nix.
Ruth, Meusel, Pipp and Schang we're
in the hit punching. Ruth started

most incisive and finishing punch hitter
of the lot was Pipp. He welded to-

them their lucrative continuity. and

joyment was Daddy Pipp. the well

Ward grabbed in the second on per-

but why blame IT on Chill? The bail

IN good humor again. Schang singled
and 50 did Mays, who batted Wardy
home. He poked the first one. Cobb
had Schang thrown out at third on the
hit until Jones dropped the ball while
tagging the runner. Dauss, however,
stopped further liberties. At two and
three he crossed Fews.er with a curve
and famed him.
