SCOTS TRIPLE
In NINTH RUINS
DAY FOR GRIFFS
Tom Phillips Pitches Fine Ball
As Relief HurIer Until YAM
KEGS Perk Up in Final Round.
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

A FTER looking positively fool
~ ish for four innings, during
which their heaviest hitters
merely paraded from the bench
to the plate and back again, the
Yankees leaped upon Tom Phil
lips, the big Highlander from
New Orleans, in the ninth inning,
slammed him for two singles and
a rousinx triple for two runs and
defeated Zeb Milan's Griffs, s
to 3, before good-sized throng
yesterday afternoon.
IL was tough fate that glowered
upon Phillips. Thrust into the game
after the Yankees had already scored
three runs off Olaf Erickson, lie
toiled like a galley slave right down
to the concluding inning. Scott and
Schang had singled In the fourth,
but without avail. and from then on
the big fellow fought brilliant duel
with Waite Hoyt, the youthful hero
of the last world series.
Pat Charrisys telling slam In the
sixth had brought Harris across
with the tying run and so when the
Yankees exploded their bomb in the
final frame 1t meant the victory.
Scott Turns Trick.
Phillips opened that ninth by fam
ming Mcmillan for the third straight
time. Pipp poked one toward the
midway that Bucky Harris did well
to knock down. Ward singled to
right and wild pitch put Pipp on
third and Ward on second.
Everett Scott. not supposed to be
much of a clouter, ruined the en-

Griffs. hut uncorIsed a wild pitch
and hit Bucky Harris. AS the game
progressed he settled down and dur
ing the last three innings allowed
but two safe blows and walked no
body.
Peck Is Brilliant.
Roger Peckinpaugh played bril-
liantly In the field. Again and
again was he cheered to the echo
by the fans who seemed bent on
letting him know his work was
being appreciated.
Peck showed rather more than
ordinary class when he threw out
Hoyt in the fourth. but his bril-
liant one-handed pickup close to
the bag on Miller's bid for blow
in the fifth was the cream. Then
he followed that right up with a
dash to his right to get the speedy
Fewster. He had TO tip his cap
TO the cheering fans as he came
in to the bench.
Olaf Erickson started for the
Griffs and was In hot water at the
very beginning. Miller singled and
went up on a wild pitch. Then
Fewster walked. Harris managed

Pipp's long fly to Smith.

wally Schang cracked the pill over
Sam Rice's head to the fence for
three bases, and Hoyt's single to
right center brought the backstop
over before Miller rolled TO Judge.
The Griffs got busy in their half
of the second and showed one run
over the pan. Harris was hit by a
pitched ball and moved up as Scott
tossed out Shanks. Charity poled
a single to left. sending Harris TO
third and reaching second himself
on the return throw. Brewer, hit
ting for Erickson, danced a roller
out TO Ward, bringing Harris over.
McMillan's long running catch of
Judges attempt at a single ended
the frame.
Two were down In the Griffs' third
when Hoyt passed Rice who prompt
ly swiped second. Goslin's single to
center brought Rice over.
The Griffs tied II up In the sew

Shanks sacrificing. A wild pitch
sent him to third and he tailed when
Charity banged a safety to center.
