Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary and Joe

enough to keep the Yanks from
winning the second game of the
season. The final score was to 2
in favor of the New Yorkers, and
would undoubtedly have been larg-

GrifrS. afield. Three double plays
at Itical moments aided Zachary
in hAlding the Yanks to only three
runssS though he was nicked for
eleven safeties. Gleason worked
the Eighth and ninth frames and
though he allowed but two hits,
a walk and a wild pitch aided the
Yanks in scoring their last two
tallies off him.

Everett Scott's performance in
the Snort field for the Yanks yes
terday explains why he is cOnsid-
cred the king of all major league
Eh0rtstOps. Scott came in and went

one else covering that sector. Had
It not been for his work the Grifrs

Miller cracked Zach for a single

in the opening inning. Zach tight

forced Baker to fly to Rice. but
Mcmillan who. by the way. is
playing wonderful ball in Bob Meu-

the end of his bat and lifted 1t
over Rice's head for a triple, scOr-
ing Miller with the first run of the
day. Mcmillan was stranded at
third when Pipp fouled to Judge.
The Griffs couldn't do a thing
with Mays in the first. After Ward
had thrown out Judge. Peck got a
life on his tap TO Pipp when Mays
covered first and dropped the ball.
But Mays made up for his error by
catching the former Yank of the
bag a few seconds later. and Smith
ended the inning with a fly to
Fewster in center.

Thereafter neither team scored
until the fatal seventh. The Yanks
opened every inninX except the
sixth with a hit. but a pair of dou-
bile killings and Gharrity's snap peg
to Shanks catching Baker off third
kept the Champions from scoring.
Baker opened the seventh by
hoisting to Goslin. Mcmillan fol-
lowed with his second hit, a single
to left. but was cut down at sec

Pipp laid one down and Zachary
threw to Peck. Zach's peg, how

trouble and might have changed
the whole game as it would have
been the third out. Ward followed
with a safety to right, Pipp going
to third, from where he scored
when Scott also drove to right.
Ward made third on the play and
scored when Schang hit safely to
left. Harris took care of Mays
