home what proved to be the winnil
The Chicago White Sox did all they
could to aid the Yankees, but since
the Hugmen could not help themselves
in the emergency scsnt sympathy is
t eirs by any right. The score was
8 to 2.
The defeat of the Yankees was ac-
cornplished in the sixth inning when
the Senators scored their three tallies.
Sam Jones was the victim, but It may
be said in all fairness that with fair
break in the luck and with some high
grade work by Aaron Ward that the
Senators might have been held to two
runs and possibly. to less.s But that
complexion Of the frame, the position
Of the outhelders with relation to zone
play and everything else. It seem
that Jones is the chief victim Of the
i'll fortune that dogs the steps Of the
Yankees this season.
AS the inning developed play by play
the Senators got five safe hits of Jones
and every one was to the outheld. There
was not an error charged against the
Yankee defense, which makes the de-
feat Of Jones seem the more difficult.
But the statement will stand that Jones
was plumb outlucked.
Effective When Essential
Mogridge was effective when it was
essential. In the fifth inning the
Yankees might have put on a scoring
offensive, but they failed, and they
fivvered in the eighth. Schang ended
the inning with an infeld roller when
single might have broken up the
his back to the wall and the infeld
rallying around him with cheering
words and heroic deds. He pitched a
puzzler to Mcmillan, who rolled to
Judge, with the tying run on second
base and the leading tally on first.
The Yankees went into action this
afternoon with their main battery Grip
pied. Babe Ruth was held in New
York, hors de combat with an infected
foot. The big siugger reported at the
Polo Grounds on Saturday limping bad
". The club surgeon examined the
Babe and declared that to play any
present condition would be to run seri-
Gus risks. So the erstwhile Monarch
Of Swat reluctantly remained in New
York with Bob Shawkey, who also is
down with an infected foot.
That the game was played at all was
due to the persistence Of Clark Griffith
and a lucky break with the weather
All morning it rained, and the down
pour increased in volume as game time
approached. However. with the stands
sold out, Griffith waited before calling
-, k-c
game time rift came in the clouds
and the game was on. The waterproof
canvas stretched over the field kept
the infeld in good condition, and
while the turf in the outheld was soft
it did not prevent the ielders from
making several brilliant catches while
running at top speed.
Bill Guthrie served notice on all
ball teams, no matter where they may
be, rat he will not tolerate kicking
on his decisions. In the very first
inning he apprised the Yankees Of this
fact with force and suddenness. Whitley
Witt laid down bunt and lost an eye
lash decision at first base. Mogridge
making a nifty play on the ball. Hug
gins and Witt protested mildly, and
Guthrie threw them both out OF the
game.
Made Threatening Gestures
The Hugmen made threatening ges-
tures at Mogridge in the first three
innings, but that was all they did. In
the last half of the first the Senators
made things hum for Jones, when, with
two out, Judge whacked a clean double
to right and passes to Goslin and
Brewer filled the sacks. The hard
hitting Howard Shanks ended the
frame with hard fly to right field.
While the teams were playing the
third inning heavy shower broke, but
play was not suspended until the end
Of the fifth. Then twenty-minute re-
spite was ordered by Connolly. The
rest evidently did Jones no good at
all, il. for in the sixth the shower Of
hits broke, which was far more damag
ing to the Yankees cause than the
downpour Of the gentle moisture.
Harris tripled to right and scored
on Judges hit that got away from
Ward. Goslin singled and Brewer
drew a pass. When Gosiin hit safely
Judge was nipped off second and run
down, Goslin taking second. Shanks
then went out and the inning should
have been over, but it was not. Peck
then singled to left, scoring Goslin and
Brewer. Picinich also singled, but
with two out Mogridge famed.
Meusel opened the ninth for New
York with q single and Ward was safe
on Beck's error. Scott singled, driving
home Meusel. Hoffman hit for Jones
and was called out on strikes Smith
walked and Dugan scored with a long
fly. There was still q chance, but Nc
MILAN rolled to Judge.
