who made throw that shot high over
Judges head. The ball rolled on to the
right field wall and Fewster came all
the way home. There were times when
Il looked as though the arms of both the
pitchers might become trapped and most
anything might happen. but that was the
last run of the afternoon.
Whitley Witt the latest addition to the
Yankee outfield, made his debut with
the Yanks as a lead off man. He took
the batting place of Elmer Miller, who is
temporarily out of the game with lame
foot Manager Huggins stationed Witt
in right field. which was just about as
chilly as the other sections Of the out
field.
Despite the chill and the superstition
that veteran cannot really get started
until midseason is nearing, Shawkey
seemed to have plenty of speed and ac-
curacy. 1t was quite lucky that Robert
The Colbert was at his best, for young
Mr.. Thomas Phillips seemed to have all
OF the Yankee sluggers stopped for the
afternoon.
In the ninth inning the Yanls rooters
we're placed on the anxious seats for
few seconds. With one out. Rice plas-
cred Bob the Cob for a single TO right
field. Smith forced him at second when
Ward made quick pickup and heave.
Then Roger Peckinpaugh. who used to
serve as shortstop for the Yanks, got
his base on balls after wait that chilled
the customers.
At this juncture Col. Tillinghast
I'Hommedieu Huston clamped his lucky
iron boiler, the same derby helmet which
he wore while the Yanks were sweeping
through TO their pennant, more tightly
on his head. The helmet was dented but
rnbowed, even when the Senators shot
in Brewer as pinch hitter for Lamotte
Grower rolled the ball down to Pipp and
the Yanks were tied with the Cleveland
indians. for first place. if that means
anyt ing at all at this time of the year.
Home Run Baker Active.
Despite the general chill. Home Run
Baker did quite some active cavorting
IN the vicinity of third base. In the
sixt inning he made a nice stop and
throw TO first. In the eighth inning.
with Charity on second, he stopped a
hot one from Harris and speared the
Senator's catcher just as he was trying
to dash into third. With the absence
OF Babe Ruth the Yankee veterans GER
tanly are doing their best to carry on.
In the NTH inning Harris Of the SEN
ator9 made play that had the frigid
fans considerably excited. With one
out. Everett Scott shot out most sim
cere two bagger. Schang was thrown
out by Phillips. Shawl<ey lashed out
what looked like certain hit through
tho .nfleld. It got by Peckinpaugh, but
Harris spcared II and made the heave
70 first in plenty OF time to nail Shaw
key.
