Yankees Divide Holiday
Games With PHILADELPHIA
Sam Jones Wins 6 to ! After
College Pitcher Loses
Three to One.

PHILADELPHIA. July 4.-Beaten, to
/. in the morning game of their holi-
day double header with Connie Mack's
Athletics the Yankees hacked their way
to an even break on the day by winning
the afternoon engagement by a score of
to l.
Sam Jones pitched the second game
and let the Mackmen down with five
hits while marking up his second con-
Secutive victory.
Jones was credited with winning the
closing game OF the Yankees recent series
with the Senator's. but was forced 70 re-
tire under fire with only one out in the
tenth inning and the tieing run on base.
In to-days affair. however, he not
only went the route, but seemed TO i'm
prove as the game progressed. Having
broken a losing streak extending over
eight straight games. he pitched with
greater confidence than he had shown in
weeks and was at his best what few
times the Mackmen really threatened to
storm the plate. The only run recorded
against his delivery resulted from a
homer by Jimmy Dykes at the start Of
the third inning.
The Yankees bats were strangely
silent in the morning game. but sounded
merry tattoo in the frequently rained
upon afternoon encounter. Twelve hits
for a total of nineteen bases. were made
off Rollie Naylor, among them being
doubles by Wallie Pipp. Everett Scott.
Freddie Hoffman and Sammy Jones. and
a homer by Hoffman. who made three
hits in four times up. and scored or
batted in no less than five of the
Yankees six runs.
Ruth hurt his hand in the first game
and retired in favor of Elmer Miller in
the eighth inning of the second bout
Collegian on Mound.
In the morning engagement George
Murray bit off slightly more than he
could chew when he tackled Bob Hasty
in a pitching duel. This was Murray's
first chance TO start league game. and
the burly Southern collegian was un-
fortunate in drawing a slabbing rival
good enough to let the Yankees down
with six hits and one run. the latter
the result of a homer by Aaron Ward.
Murray pitched the first seven in
nings for the Yanks and was taken
out in the eighth to let Camp Skinner
bat for him after eight hits and three
runs had been registered against him.
Six of the enemy's wallops were
punched in the fourth and fifth innings,
but one of them was an infield tap on
which Cy Perkins made an unsuccess-
full attempt to score from second base
in the fourth, and only two runs re-
suited.
The Mackmen scored their first run in
the opening round in which Pep Young
led off with a pass. only to be forced
at second on Hauser's rap to Ward.
Hauser went to second on Walkers in
al nd cd ia ri nr,
Perkinss double to left center. Gallo
way also took vicious cut at the ball.
but was thrown out at first by McNally.
Murray kept the enemy away from
the plate in the next four innings, but
blew the game in the fifth. Dykes was
the first man up and singled to left.
Pipp whipped Hasty's bunt to Scott for
a force out at second, but Young singled
to right and Hauser brought both runs
across with a double to center field
bleacher wall. Murray then settled
down and the next two men were easy
outs, Walker on a called third strike and
Perkins on a fly to Ruth.
Failed In Pinches.
The Yankees had numerous chances
to score but couldn't deliver in the
pinches. In the first inning Witt walked
and went to second on sacrifice and
advanced to third on passed ball, but
was left stranded there when Ruth and
Meusel were retired on short pop flies
to Walker With one out in the sec
ond Ward singled to center, and never
advanced beyond first. and in the fourth
Ruth walked and Meusel singled to
right without producing scoring results.
In the fifth Ward led off with n
homer to the left field bleachers and
Scott came through with a single to
center, but IIasty pulled himself to-
gether and Hoffman,, Murray and
Witt raised out on easy infield ground
ers. After the fifth only two hits were
made off Hasty, one by Pinch Hitter
