game. Elmer Miller fixed a clammy
eye on Rollie Naylor and w, watched foqI
wide ones spin by. Wallie Pipp did

while the waiting was good and the
hassocks were filled. Roy Moore, the
left-hander from Texas, ten came into

not field it TO any base Miller scored
and the lines were loaded, with Whitley
Witt at the bat Moore pitched one
ball and then pitched one that Tommy

eous indignation in every tone. Every
'hove was a picture. Norman McMli-
IAN came to bat and hit first base with
drive that bounced into right field,

everybody except Witt was happy.

wallop to left center and pulled up at
second before Fewster could field back
the ball. Jimmy Dykes was impressed
by the idea and went forth to record
his impressions on the ball. His wal
lop was to center field and good for
two bases, WEIGH crossing the plate.
Both teams had men left on bases in
the third inning, but no runs were
scored, With two out, Pipp walked and
went to second on single to right by
Ward On a dry track Pipp might have
made third, but he skidded and slipped
in the soft going while the ball slowed
down in the pretty dandelion patch in
right field. Scott, however, grounded to
Moore, and the inning was over.
With one out Young singled, but was
forced by Johnston, and after Walker

slashed to right for single and Welch
walked. Dykes crossed up the Yankees
with a fine bunt which rolled between
Baker and Shawkey for base hit, fill
ing the sacks. Galloway was out on an
infeld fly, and, although Moore was
safe on a felder's choice. forcing
Dykes at second, Miller scored Young

ston then took a shot at the center-held
fence, Miller making q fine catch.
The Athletics kept right after Shaw

ter field stands and dragged down a
shot by Clarence Walker. and after
Perkins singled Scott folded Miler's
shot to Ward for q force. Scott made
the final play in the sixth when John
ston's pulling shot spelled trouble.
The match was squared in the lucky
seventh. Walker fell victim to Shaw
