Remember Skinner---Camp skinner
suh-the outfelder about whom quite
bit was said from the direction Of
New Orleans not so long ago? Well
This same Skinner smashed himself
out of obscurity yesterday afternoon
on the banks of the Harlem and tod
the gasping world fair that he stin

realize one of his pet dreams came
about this way. The score was tied.

open the Yankee half OF the overtime.
He had gone to second on DE Vormer's
sacrifice and on to third while Nc
Clellan robbed Jones of hit. Witt had
been passed on purpose. for the second
time in succession. And for the second
time Miller Higgins. who was special

Skinner Ordered to End 1t.
Then Belasco Higgins crossed the
Kid. Over in n corner in the dugout sat
the left handed hitter. Skinner. thinking

park on the hill watching a new hero
rise for the home club. He spat. and
the Miller shouted, Hey. you Skinner.
grab bat and end this ball game!'
So Skinner. still thinking about his
sweetie down in Dallas. grabbed bat.
1t happened to be one of Frank Bakers
giant claymores, but Skinner. now
fushed with excitement. didn't stop to
examine 1t. He toted that bat out to the
plate. lit on the first pitch which little
Joe Acosta sent at him, and prodded it
where 1t did the job. The ball scooted
between Collins and second and Eddie
made valiant dive for 1t. But he
missed by a yard and the leather kept
travelling into center while Scottie darted
over the plate--and all hands darted for
the exits.
That companion masterpiece in STRAIT
esy by Higgins came in the eighth in
ping and brought New York's seventh
and at that time apparently the winning
run But the pesky SoX crashed In a

Acosta to pass him to get at Chick

But Chick, who stood in the offing
with ready club. never came to bat.
Huggins decided to supplant the right
handler with a clouter from the left side.
So while Acosta got set TO pitch to Few

had been out With a split hand. lugged
his hefty bat to the platter
Schang took one squint at Acosta--
one good look at fast curve, timed
his swing just right and singled to right
center This scored run and gave the
lead to the Yankees But the foolish
White Sox refused to call IL a day.
They went out and got that tying run.
Collins. as usual, was the boy who
started the rally in the ninth. He singled
to right. Hooper singled to right and
nut Eddie on third. This spelled Suf-
ficency for Sharkey. who had been found
for fourteen hits. and Jones got the
signal to come in and assume the un-
welcome burden. Falk lifted a sacri-
fice to Miller, and Collins went home.
Mostil forced Hooper and then Samivel
Skinner.
Fourth Homer for Baker.
II was a give and take. up and at
'em, knock down and drag out ball
game--as you probably already have
suspected. Baker hit a home run--golfed
his fourth OF the season into the lower
tier of the right field stand and scored
Fewster. who had singled, ahead of
hime. This happened in the seventh
and tied the score at 6 to 6. for the
Sox had got two I'm their half.
Chicago got off to great lead of
four runs In the third, on five hits and
a costly throw to the plate by Witt.
This looked as IL the Yanks' hash had
been cooked. for they could do nothing
with Shovel Hodge. the elongated right
handler. Shovel. gave four scattered
hits In four INNINGS But In the fifth
the New Yorks fell on him like a ton
of dornicks and forced him to give way
to Acosta of Havana. senior. Three
hits and three passes, along with wild
reave to first by Hodge. sent four runs
into the Yankee column. and a tie. the
FIRST OF three deadlocks. The score:.
