After Losing Three, Yanks
Run Themselves Ragged
Around the Bases.
WITT MAKES A SINGLES
Blankenship, Courtney and
Schupp Victims; Shawkey
Strikes Out Ten.
BY w. o. McGEEHAN.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle may not be
so far wrong in his theory that the
dead ones do come back. The Yankees
yesterday emerged from the comatose
state into which they had lapsed and
ran themselves ragged around the
bases piling up IA runs to for the
White Sox. They might have done
more, but wind and shoe leather are
good for just so much mileage to the
gallon of basehits.
The complete assortment Of bats
carried about by the Yankees had be-

mention a fine young crop of moss

contemplating going into center field

hits out of five times up. Lank Bob

The Man In The Iron Hat might be
pardoned for gloating. For three days
and nights he had been suffering in
silence as the Yanks showed all the
symptoms of hardening of the feet and
softening of the bean.
L'Hommedfeu's Heart Is Moved.
After the sixth inning the grim lines
around the mouth of the Man In The
Iron Hat seemed to relax. His lips
moved and he seemed to be saying it,

enough for one day.
