Judged by Hoyt's exhibition. he can
be counted on by the Yankees to
pick up just where he left off last
fall. when he was the pitching star
of the world series against the
Giants. This is bad news for the
teams out to prevent Huggins crew
from repeating. Despite his unsteadi-
ness. the Brooklyn bridegroom en-
ployed change of pace and decep-
tive hook with such telling effect
that some of Milan's most trust
worthy batsmen were victimized.
Peck and Smith tanning twice. as did
Phillips. Eight 81 his total of whins
were recorded in the last Ave frames.
Hoyt was benefcent on four oc-
casions. woundin~ an athlete and
walking three others, in addition
to uncorking wild pitch. All
but one of the recipients of his gene
rosity subsequently scored. and IN
giving a full need of credit to the
hefty highlander it should be re-
corded that two of the run-propel-
ling bingles he yielded were fiukey
Texas league affairs.
Phillips strong at start.
Phillips was called on. starting with
the third inning. after Erickson's ex-
hibition convinced Milan that the
Viking couldn't f1ll the bill. The
New Orleans graduate started IN
ster, Baker and Mcmillan. He got
rid Of a pair of Yanks in the fourth
before Scott and Schang combed singles
that put him in a hole. from which
Peckinpaugh saved aim with fine play
on Hoyt's roller. and then pitched in the
most approved form Of four rounds In
which only. twelve Hugmen faced him.
He started the final frame in fine
fashion by breezing Mcmillan for the
third successive time. but when Plpp
rammed a safety past Harris 1t was
the beginning of the end. Ward also
singled. a solid smack to r'ghl.
Phillips advanced the pair of them
with wild pitch and both counted
when Scott socked triple over
Smiths head. Scott perished in
dodging match on the line when PECK
grabbed Schang's roller. and Hoyt
popped foul to Shanks to end 1t, but
the damage done was sufficient.
Eric Is Roughly Handled.
Erickson had tough time Of it in
linger Miller. the first man to face
him. slapped a single to center. OLAF
promptly wild-pitched him to second
and then walked Fewster. After
Baker popped to Harris. Mcmillan
ripped a single to right. scoring Mil
where Pipp's long fly to Smith cashed
him Mcmillan then died stealing.
The Swede got rid of Ward and
Scott in the second. whiting the lat
ter. but Schang unlimbered a prodi-
gious poke over Rice's head for three
bases. and trotted to the counting
block on Hoyt's solid single to right.
Judge effaced Miller.
Hoyt was threatened in the opener
when Judge walked on four straight
balls and was forced by Peck. who
went to third on Smiths Texas
Lacquer to right Earl reaching sec
ond on the throw-in. Rice's fly to
Miller was too short for an attempt
by Peck to tally. and Mcmillan then
cut off two runs by q fine running
catch of Goslin's stiff liner to right
center. This rap had all the ear
marks of triple and the Yankee
recruit was given a well deserved
hand for his effort.
: Casualty Costly to Hoyt.
The winging of Harris by Hoyt in
the second inning paved the way for
Washington's first run, Bucky TAX
ing second an Shanks death. moving
TO third on Gharrity's Texas Lacquer
to left and scoring when Brewer,
