Special Dispatch to THE New York HrRALp
BooaLUs. La. March 22.-The st.
defeated the Yankees in a ninth in
ming rally here to-day by score of
to s.
The loss OF the game by the big
leaguers was due to big Jim Jolley and
Ed Neusel. both recruits. The nine
from the minors gave Southpaw Jolley
a severe pummcling in the eighth and
ninth, hut might have escaped with
narrow victory had not Neusel, with
two men out and two on base, dropped
an easy fly from the bat of Arm
strong and the winning tallies scam
pered madly over the plate.
It was a great day for home runs and
J. Franklin Baker was the man who set
the fashion for long distance clouting
In the first inning by rolling the ball
over the right field fence. The ancient
Baker made a second homer over the
same fence in the fifth and then retired
from the contest assured that the old
game was safely placed on the credit
side of the Yankee exhibition ledger.
But ]. Franklin was wrong. He had
set bad example.
Following Baker in home run knock
ing for the Yanks were Capt Babe Ruth,
who lined one over the right center field
fence in the fifth, Immediately preced-
ing Bakers second circuit smash and
Norman Mcmillan and George Murray,
who chose the same frame for drives
over the same fence.
For the St. Poul team Whelan turned
the home run trick in the sixth and
Mike Gonzales. former Giant, raped
the ball out OF the lot in the decisivs
inning.
Three Homers I'm a Row.
It must be noted that the Yanks made
four homers in one inning. the afore-
mentioned fifth. and that three of them
came in a row, those of Ruth, Baker
and Mcmillan. Murray in the mean
time had opened this fifth with his cir
cult smash.
Charley OTeary attended to the man
aging end OF the Yankee team to-day
and being under Instructions to give the
rockies all the chance in the world he
obeyed orders by removing the invincible
Murray from the pitching mound in the
seventh in favor of Jim Joliey and by
sending Ed Neusel to right field as sub
stitute for Mcmillan.
Other shifts made by Manager
oIeary were Skiner for Miller In GEN.
ter. Mitchell for Baker at third and
Hoffman for Devormer behind the bat
The Yanks rang the scoring bell in
the first inning. Chick Fewster famed,
but Miller drew a pass from Tom She's
han. former Yank, and was forced by
Capt. Babe at second. Baker then de-
livered his first big blow and two runs
naturally scored. In the fifth. with their
former pal still on the pitching HILL
Murray hit for a homer.
Fewster popped out to Berghammer,
and Skinner. batting for Miller. grounded
out to Whelan. Next came the parade
OF over the fence smashes from the
clubs OF Ruth Baker and Mcmillan. All
this bombardment netted four runs. 1t
was shame to treat an old teammate
like Sheehau so murderously
Tom Rogers Effective.
The afflicted Sheehan left the box in
the SIXTH to be succeeded by Tom Rog-
ers, also n former Yank. Rogers al
lowed only three hits and not a run
could the New Workers manufacture
from his curves. And what is more TO
the point. during the twirlng regime OF
Rogers he had the satisfaction Of seeing
his mates como from behind with a
grand and glorious rush 10 gain the VIC
tory.
The St Paul folk made their first two
runs in the sixth through whelan's
homer and costly error by Devormer,
who. after Tim Hendrix had singled to
center. threw wildly to nab the base
runner who hesita ted not a hit in sour
rying over the plate. But the horrid
eighth and ninth innings we're certainly
the limit.
In the former Jim Joliey was pounced
upon for doubles bv whelan and Berg
hammer and a single by Armstrong.

ST Paul boys in n fighting mood In
