EVEN BREAK BEST
HUGS MEN CAN DO
Quinn Outpitches Mays but
Hoyt Scores Easy Victory;
Home Run for Miller.
NJ DANIEL.

BosroN, April IA trapped even
break was the lot of the Yankees In
the holiday double header with the roll
licking Red Sox to-day. The celebrated
underhand Carl Mays. who WINS re-
garded as an almost sure thing winner
in the first game. ran second best to the
venerable Jack Quinn, the score beng
to8. Waite Hoyt, the Flatbrsh BRIDE
groom. who shaped up as somewhat
uncertain proposition In the second shin
dig. gailoped to an easy success by 6
to !. That's baseball!
It was long. cold afternoon replete
with incidents which added to the gay
ETY. Of Patriots Day and from time TO
time served TO make the $4,000 1onlook-
ers forget for the nonce that their
fingers were frozen, that their noses
were red and that baseball was about
as appropriate as ear muffs
A series OF innocent little verbal ex-
changes with Umpires Walsh and VIII
son led to the banishrnent OF Miller
Huggins, Aaron Ward and Harry Har-
per In the thick of the second game.
Mr.. Wilson first sent Harper to look
over the open plumbing In the club
house. Later in the seventh Mr.. Wilson
called strike on Ward. and Aaron
called it a ball. So Ward was told to
HE himself to the clubhouse too.

Out came Higgins shaking a finger
Justify at Wilson and casting asper-
sions on the umpire's ancestry and
present method of making a living.
Beat it," cried Wilson. in all his
Ridgewood majesty.
"Yer cheese. Mr.. Wilson," cried Mr..
Huggins.
Yer gentleman. Mr.. Huggins." :"
howled Mr.. Wilson.
Buy yourself a tin cup. Mr.. Wilson" :"
yodled Mr.. Huggins.
We'll. I umpire about as well as you
manage" shrieked Mr.. Wilson as he
struck an impressive attitude and
pointed to the exit. All this while the
crowd was In 1900 paroxysms OF mirth
and 1900 mouths were busy giving the
well known razzberry to the Yankee
leader. Huggins went. and with him
Joe Bush to keep him n1eiodtpus com
pany In exit.
AS for the game itself. in addition to
the fine pitching Of Hoyt. who held the
lurid hose to five hits. a pleasing fea-
ture was the terrific hitting Of Elmer
Miller in support of the Flatbush BRIDE
groom. Our Elmer got a home run, a
triple and a pair OF singles in five
times at bat. all the slamming being
done at the expense of Allen Russell. a
former Yankee. Fullerton. who pitched
the last two innings. held Miller down
and gave only three hits.
First Homer for Yanks.
That home run of Miller's came with
nobody on in the fourth inning. and
was the first four base blow delivered
by the Ruthless Yankees this season.
Miller's triple in the second drove in q
run, and soon was made into another.
His first hit was converted into a tally
and his last sent one over the platter,
SO 1t becomes apparent that our Elmer
was a nightly useful citizen this cloudy
afternoon.
Norman Mcmillan. who has been
slamming the ball with fury since he
learned that Huggins had bought
Whitley Witt. was busy buster all
afternoon. He got himself a pair of
handy hits in each game, and cavorted
out near the fence in tip top style. AS
for Witt, Higgins tried all day to locate
him but failed. He expects to find witt
waiting for the Yankees in New York
tomorrow.
Hoyt had the Red Sox well in hand
In that second game: They got two
hits in only one inning, and no rms
resulted. The Bostonese escaped coat
OF whltewash in the sixth when Pitten-
ger walked, went to second on RusseIl's
infeld out and scored on Collins long
single through short
The Red Sox made Hoyt do some tall
pitching in the sixth. which Del Pratt.

double to center Hoyt let out a notch
and famed Harris. Burns grounded TO
Baker, and then Hoyt let out still an
other notch and famed Dugan.
As for Russell. HIS splitter and he had
little to disconcert the Yankees. In the
first Miller hit. sstole second. went to

boot by Dugan on Scott let in a run

a pass to Ward.
