New-York tribune., 1922-04-10

lUe routed 2nkeeS all over biA1e.
heen different. Following Saturday
tory was triumph for them after
South-the Yanks did it again yester
The Brooklyns batted ferociously
this spring and were we'll ahead Of the
Yankees in batting development, but
for two days the Manhattan pitchers
have shown them lot, and the Man
haitian pitching staff is beginning to
assume semblance to its reputation.
Work such as Jones, Hoyt, Mays and
Bush have done in the last two games
will go far to rehabilitate the Yankees
and put them back on their feet.
Yesterday the ball pitched by Mays
was as hard to hit as moving hickory
nut by bean shooter at forty PAGES,
Harder, because the hickory nut has no
hop on its fast one. However, Mays
used curve a good deal this time. It
swished away from the Brooklyn
ordnance, and they hit into the ground
the ball he kept around their knees.
Mays Always Puzzle
One hit in seven innings off Mays.
The $500 imposed by Manager Higgins
for hinging ball over q grandstand
doesn't seem to rankle any with the
blocky submarine. Some day he may
soil his sweater and be fined $4,000 by
Miller, the martinez, and then, If he
reacts to that fine as he has to the
other one, he'll pitch no-hit game.
He came near it yesterday.
joe Bush finished the job of white
washing the proud Flatbushers, whose
hitting yesterday Topped off the "Flat."
Bullet Joe used speed to snuff out the
National Leaguers when they grew re-
bellious in the ninth. That was the
only time the home part of the 10000
crowd had any chance to open the
vocal throttle.
The usual Brooklyn partisanship--
cqualling St. Louis's in intensity and
uarrowness-was missing, and the
Yankees received lots Of applause.
Ruth, for q play OF flaming brilIiance,
2 real beauty bright, received most OF
any. ard the Intern ngied boos were OF
q serious tonal weakness.
Dazzy Vance, very much like Phi
Douglas in build and in bearing in the
BOX, pitched admirably and held the
Yanks to three hits in five innings; but
he trusted mite too much to speed to
y
Schang in the third inning knocked one
Of his fastest ones back through the
smoke and over the right field fence.
After that the Yankees went at Dazzy
With more confidence, but never burt
him any.
Against Mamaux the champions did
better than usual. They shook him up
with a lively batting rally in the ninth
inning, clinched the game with 1T and
we're in a position to view Brooklyn $
rally in the ninth with unruffled mind.
The Yankees felded snappily and
three times swept the Robins to the
field with double plays. In the fifth
inning Ruth followed his fine catch
with a throw on which double play
was made. This catch by the Babe
saved lot of damage. Burt Griffith
opened the epoch with the solitary
single off Mays. Nes popped to Scott,
then Tom Griffith got hold OF one.
Ruth Makes Great Catch
The ball headed for the left field
fence, its trajectory low and danger
Gus. Ruth raced out with IT., cutting
slightly over toward center. Few. fans
expected him to get it. He was NOV
ing fast, however, and as the ball
whistlcd over his right shoulder he
took it in both hands, facing away
from the stands. He made a quick
stop. threw we'll to Scott, and Scotts
throw to Pipp doubled Burt Griffith.
The latter reached first ahead Of the
ball but hadn't retouched second base
on his way back.
Ruth scored in The sixth inning on
base on balls, Bakers out. Olson to
Schmandt, and a single by Pipp to the
right field wall. Tom Griffith has
these rebounds down fine and he killed
Pipps effort to make it a two-bagger..
Ward, Scott and Schang singled in
succession in the ninth. Scott raped
his through to right on q hit and
run play Very neat. for Olson was
going over to cover second when
Wardy went down. Schang's single
sent in Wardy and Fewsters lift over
Olson sent in Scotty. The last three
hits all went to right.
Hood scratched hit to the infield
with one out in the home ninth. Oh
\ son grounded to Baker and the ball
] went through Bakers legs. Highs
single was clean and went to Ruth
That's where Bush went into high. His
speed jumped over the plate and cut
it in two like sharp knife cutting q
pie. While Jimmy Johnston was still
blinking his eyes he was called out on
strikes. A liner from B. Griffith was
SHARED by 3. Ruth.
