Good Pitching in Pinches
Both pitchers bore down with men
on bases, Jones getting the finest pT
support and the Yankee attack netting
d meager return compared with the
early vigor with which Johnson was
hit. The Yankees in the first three
;nnines ripped seven hits loose from
his delivery, but circumstances over
which they had no control and other
circumstances over which they did,
did not let them score with any COM
forting profusion.
Nineteen NTH were LETT on bases,
nine of which nomads were Yankees,
but the champions played with the
vigor, skill and the bearing OF strong
and scrappy team.

he could, beat Harriss's throw home.
