pitching In fawles3 style. It was
a matter OF the Yankees getting
back those three runs to tie and a
fourth to win against the steady
work of Jess Barnes and his bril-
liant support.
The Yankees got start in the
first inning when Bancroft proved
the power OF his arm by throwing
Dugan's grounder far over Kelly's

That was the FIRST one. Barnes
then plodded along at an even stride
until Aaron Ward broke under his
guard In the fourth by hitting the
first ball pitched over the left field
fence for the second home run ot
this stirring afternoon. That was
two of the needed runs back. with
only one to go for tie.
Frisch. Plays Spectacular.
The aroused Yankees kept firing
away with all they had. but the
brilliant infeld support of Frisch
and Groh helped Barnes to sup
press each threatening rush. On
two occasions Frisch killed OF
sure base hits by supernatural agil-
ity as he raced far out of his posi-
tion to break down grounders or
haul down flies. The Fordham
Flash was a ball playing centipeds
all the afternoon. He covered
enough ground to build golf
course with additional broad acres
left over for the development OF
suburban homes. He was all over
the sun-baked lot, playing always
with the flame and flash that
catches the fancy OF the crowd.
