ny DANIEL.

Rollicking, frolcsome young Frank
Baker had himself crowned Queen OF
tho May up there on the green by the
bonny banks of the Harlem yesterday
afternoon. In the saccharine process
of getting five hits in as many times
at bat the Maryland mauler crowned
three Boston pitchers himself-but
that was different sort Of coronation.
1t all came about In as topsyturvy.
Kaleidoscope and spectral ball game
as has been seen here this year-an
affair which ran from the drab to the
lurid and was a merry carnival for
the Yankees from the start. They
made Is hits, won by ~ to 8, and
climbed back into tie for the lead
with the Browns.
Pone De Leon Baker failed to hit
home run, but that was practically the
only feature which he neglected to crash
into his vigorous attack. For the New
Yorks the home run hitting was attended
TO by Wallie Pipp. who for the second
time this season drove the ball into the
lower tier of the right field stand with
Baker on second in the third inning, and
sent the smiling 5000 into wild cacchina-
tions. Later in the day Elmer Smith
of the Red Sox duplicated that trick
after Derrill Pratt had doubled. and In
the next round Joe Harris also located
that pleasant lower tier, bringing the
total of four baggers to three. 1t was
that kind Of game.
Bridegroom Baker got four singles and
double, scored four runs, stole base
and cavorted around third with the skit-
tishness of flapper. Five hits in five
times up is no record, but when 1t Is
coupled with the other recent aggressive
performances of the Trappe farmer 1t
makes at least interesting reading.
Baker has hit safely in the last ten
games, in which he made nineteen hits
in thirty-eight times at bat for the mod
est little average Of an even 500. Go
on, you Ponce!
Pipp Drives in Four Runs.
In so far as driving In runs was con-
cerned Ponce had to yield first place to
Pipp, again the Pickler. Wallie's single
in the first sent in couple OF counters
Then Of course there were the two which
came in on his homer. The Pickler got
on base four times in five tries and
played quite the merry andrew in en-
phaszing the sudden flop of the Red
Sox to class about a dozen pegs re-
moved from that which they had dis
played in the three previous games
three which brought as many defeats to
the New Yorks.
And let's not forget Samivel Jones.
Samivel more properly belongs In that
division of the yarn devoted to the de-
fence. But yesterday Samivel was an
improper pitcher He grew jealous Of
Ponce, but there wasn't a chance Of his
tying Bakers mark. Jones was up only
1our times, and thrice did he spank the
hall Co.. H.
counter. 1t was jolly party indeed
for Sam, who delighted in throwing the
hooks into the boys who wore the uni
form which he had to sport only last
season.
While Jones was breezing along with
support which was both powerful and
brilliant-terrif1c and sportive--the Red
Sox were serving up mostly minor
league pitching and work behind 1t
which was in keeping. The Boston in
field was as spotty as the first wind
fall apple. Once 1t got to tossing that
ball around 1t made quite a record for
motion, aimlessness and thoughtlessness.
RIP Collins Inst and Best.
~ was no work to beat a combination
like that. 1t was a laughing jamboree.
Curtis Fullerton, Benny Karr and our old
friend Rip Collins were the fingers for
the visitors. Collins was the best of
the trio, and in the last two innings
gave only two hits-to Baker and Jones'
One of the startling developments. OF
the busy afternoon was the banishment
OF Miller Huggins from the Yankee
bench. 1t seemed that Huggins did not
like Ed Walsh's decision on Fewster in
the second-a verdict which completed
a double play.
The Yankees went Maying early.
Witt walked to start the affair. Fewster
sacrificed. Baker planted a Texas
Lacquer in right. Harris was not so
good on Miller's fly TO left and It went
for two bagger and run. Pipp drove
a hit through the spot where Pratt
should have been, and then came
nondescript lot of throwing the ball
around. with the result that both Baker
and Miller scored-and the Sox looked
sick.
In the second triple to right centre
by Schang and a hit by Jones meant an
other run. The lid was blown Off In the
fifth, with four runs. which gave the
natives lead of 10 to 3. Fewster
opened the dance with a hit to center
and scored on Bakers double--mysteri-
ously to left. Miller was a martyr. Pipp
bounded to Burns, who attempted to get
Baker at the plate. Ruel dropped the
ball. In the meantime Pipp passed on
to second. Wards inf1ield out and a
wild pitch sent Wallie home. Singles
by Scott De vormer and Jones ac-
counted for the fourth tally. The score
