they had on their recent western trip.
Manager Huggins and the Yankees re-
turned to the Polo Grounds today.
where they open a series with the
st. Louis Browns.
'It is going to be a fight with the
Indians right down to the wire" de-
clared Manager Huggins in speaking
of the race between his team and
Speakers Cleveland club.
I'VE are in good form for long
battle. OF our pitchers, Piercy is the

thing The boys have the utmost conx
fidence

kie and Bagby can come back az
ShaWkey has done. If they do our
task will be hard one. If they don't

How Crifs Are Hitting

Whacked to Harris, which nullffied a
scratch hit to Judge that followed. the
game ending when Rice Travelled back
10 snare Bratchie's long drive.
Grifrs Neglect Chances.
In the opener Milan was stranded
at the midway. which he reached by
beating out hit to Collins and Rice's
lnf1eld death, when Miller failed to
get crack past Faber and in the
second ORourke hit into a two-ply
killing after Shanks had rammed to
an unguarded spot.
But the Griffs best unaccepted
chance was in the fourth. Milan
walked. and was forced by Rice. Zeb
reached second when johnson fun
bied Miller's roller. and took third
when a bounder by Harris resulted in
Miller's death at the midway. Stanley
here pilfered his way to the keystone
sack. despite the defense Collins and
Schalk have evolved to break up the
double steal. This put it up to Shanks,
but Howard, with the count three
and two on him. missed the third
strike. and SO did Schalk. but Raw
ferried the ball to Sheely for the put
out.
The only other Griffman to reach the
lines was Judge. with a single he
b!istered through Mulligan in the
ninth, and he died stealing.

Jury Hears Confessions.
The defense announcement cam.
after the confessions of Cicotte. Will
liams and jackson had been read To
the jury yesterday.
Previously. it had been understood
that the defense would depend on
trying to disprove various details of
the testimony of Bill Burns and 9TH
er state witnesses: on statements
from Chicago and Cincinnati players
that they saw nothing wrong with
the 1919 world series, and on the
contention that even If there was a
conspiracy to throw games, il never
was carried out, and If ii was 1t was
not illegal

the tenth Evans. lead-off man for

inning Coveleskie was invincible and

Macks Tally With HOmers.
When play was called after the
Tigers had started to bat in the
eleventh, the Cobbmen and Macks
were deadlocked at 3-all. The Macks
got all their runs in the first inning
Witt, lead-off man, got a homer. and,
after Welsh was hit by pitched
ball, Tilly Walker duplicated Wits
feat. The Tigers garnered tally in
the sixth. and two errors helped them
in tying the score in the seventh.

some runs for him. and in tins they fall-
ed completely, thanks to a superiatlVe
brand of finging by his similarly
matched but left-handed opponent.
Zach's Victory Earned.
Jezebels victory was earned strictly
on merit While he permitted two
more safeties than the five yielded
by Faber. they invariably occurred
with two out. and the only pass he
issued developed with nothing before
or abaft. while one of the two walks
Faber gave came in the same round
with a pair of bingles. 1t was In
the sixth inning. which Judge opened
with a safety to center. He advanced
a notch on Milan's sacrifice. Faber
tried to fool Rice by keeping 'em
low on the inside, as on two previous
occasions, but Sam refused to bite,
was franked to first and Tailed be-
hind Josephus when Bing Miller
smashed a hot one past Sheely to
right field. 1t mattered not that Bing
erred in trying to stretch his blow
and was erased at third on relay
by Collins from a youngster in the
garden with a jaw-breaking name.
The damage bod been done.

Noted of the Nationals

Another box duel, and an entirely
left handed affair at that, may de-
yelop in the second setto between
Griffs and Sox today. with George
Mogridge opposing Dick Kerr. The
midget got 3-2 verdict over the
Nationals last time out. in Chicago,
although he yielded eleven hits
against FIVE off Erickson, but as rule
the Griffs trim him.
Judge alone of the local array OBJ
tanned more than one bingle off Faber.
Both were hot cracks, one nearly
taking a hand off Mulligan. who lost
close decision at first.
Josephus turned in the most
meritorious fielding bit of the after
noon when he raced to the steps of
fly from Johnson's bat in the eighth.
The support accorded Zachary was
in keeping with Jezebefs flinging ex
hibition. 1t was the second errorleSS
