Samuel Pond Jones. the dolorous
deacon. came out of the Yankee bur-
row on the banks of the Harlem al
3:30 p. M. yesterday, could not see
his sad shadow. and remained out for
nine full, complete innings--a whole
blooming game, in fact. This happy
II unusual, happening predicated an
even more joyous development for
our acrobatic Yankees. Breaking the
shaclSles scldered on them by Uhle
and Coveleskie and knocking Guy
Morton out of the box in six innings
the champions of the American League
trounced the Indians by 7 to 3.
1t was absolutely incumbent upon
the Yankees to come to batting life
and salvage that game out OF the
wreckage OF the series with Iris
Speakers troublemakers. The neces-
sity for victory fairly howled at them
from the score board. Even before
the New Yorks took the field large
and ominous showed for the Browns
at Boston Hardly had the natives
warmed to their task than larger
and even more ominous s was plas-
tered alongside that sickening 8.
Those silly Browns, leading the league
by half a game, were holding batting
practice at Fenway Park preparatory
to invading Harlem this afternoon for
double header. They're coming here
for four games In three days. as ''croo-
cial" series As this ''crooer' and
"croocial' season yet hau Matched.
Things may happen, and then again,
II may be a Mexican standoff.

1.-TWO days OF defeat look down upon
YOU" Napoleon sHuggins Informed his
gallant legions In the club house be-
fore the battle yesterday. II might
go SO far as to stoop to the vernacular
aud say that two Cleveland pitchers
have made suckers out of you, and
neither had a thing-aheml (Hear, hear
this from George H. Ruth.) III 1t is
not too presumptuous on my part ]
would suggest q little more action to-
day. In fact, II 1t Is not asking too
much. how about q bit of seeking and
a victory for a changer"
These noble, phrases OF iron sank into
the very soul of Joe Dugan, who, by
the way, wants the world to know
fair that he has dropped the Jumping
handle for good and has sent 1t to
Connie Mack with his compliments and
good will. What did Dugan do to
them? Why he got himself only four
singles--three off Morton and ono off
Duster Mails, the lefthander. In his
first trip to the plate Joe got a pass,
so he showed batting average OF
100 for the afternoon.

Haven scored two runs and drove In
four. one with every single he delivered.

Pond. bit against the Indians he was
old man Scrooge himself. Sam seems
to be sore on Cleveland for having
sentenced him to Boston years ago, not
that Samlvel's jinx did not bob up yes
terday from time to time, not that
Samivel went through the afternoon
without occasional tremors. But Sam
was stanch. He supported himself with
n double and single which blossomed
INTO runs and got great encouragement
from the fact that for once his sup
porting cast really was supporting him
and not the enemy pitcher. The Yankees
delivered some elite fielding. Scott and
Pipp particularly flashy. Pipp's work
continues revelation.
Samivel held the Indians to seven
hits and only IN the second and fourth
Innings could they land on tho deacon
for two blows. Two of the Cleveland
runs came IN the second when Smoky

section OF the left field bleachers. II

drove in the third run in the eighth,
after passes to Jameson and Evans,
which sent Joe Bush rushing to the bull
pen.

fourth--and then three In the sixth
which sent Morton from the scene.
Jones' double to left started the rucus
which put Guy on the slxids. Wits
attempt TO sacrifice became hit. Du-
gan's crash to left scored the deacon.
Ruth hunted too and almost made II
but McInnis made a great catch Of
Gardners throw while Stuffy was ly-
ing on his back. A wild pitch sent Witt
home and put Dugan on third Schang
banged the first pitch 10 center for a
hit and Dugan trotted In.
Wits triple to left center opened
tho eighth and became a run when
Dugan singled to left. Ruth crashed a
semi liner TO right which Wood caught
with a remarkable leaping one banded
effort. Joe was not content with that

wonder catch on Pipp.
In the first the run came through

stopping deacon had singled, gone TO

while witt forced the pitcher. The
third local tally was scored by Jones
