New-York tribune., 1922-07-05


The usual home runs featured the
twin bill. In the morning game Ward
delivered loop-thc loop smash and
saved the Yankees from shut-out.
The Athletics did not hit any homers
IN the morning contest, but Jimmy
Dykes contributed one in the after
noon and helped TIC Athletics out OF
shut-out bath. Freddie Hoemann 60.
the only homer for the winning team,
thus saving the fiction Of the game
from terrible bump This drive was
spotted, as it hoped off the playing
field into the fans.
Hofmann was quite hero with the
stick, getting homer, a double and
single, which drove in four runs, in
the second game. Scott got three
singles and also got hit in the morn
ing game. Ruth was contented with a
single, and lost half dozen points on
his batting average, Babe is hitting
.288 so bad after his terrible
start.
Sam Jones deserved to win his game.
He allowed only five hits, and with the
exception of the second inning, when
Dykes hit homer, the Athletics never
easy swing and was quite the master of
the occasion. Fancy fielding marked
both games, with Scott and Hauser
starring.
Hasty at His Best
The Yankees had the misfortune in
the morning to encounter Bob Hasty
when the Mobile right-hander was hav-
ing one of his real good days.
George Murray started the first game
for the Yankees. but it was Bob
Shawkey who finished. Not that Muir
ray pitched bad game, but because
Miller Higgins derricked the right
to shine in the role OF pinch hitter.
Mackmen First to Score
With the Yankees easy victims to the
skill of Hasty, the Athletics went out
and scor N a run in the first inning
but was forced by Hauser, who took
second when Walker bounced to Scott.
Cy Perkins then came through with
q two-base drive to deep center, and
Hauser had no trouble in crossing the
plate
In four innings the Yankees got just
two hits off Hasty, and it seemed as if
they might get along that way. Do5's
normal stay against the Yankees Is
about two innings or less, so this exhi-
bition was not at all according to
schedule. In the fifth, however, the
Yankees broke the scoreless spell, and
Ward hit into the let field bleuchers
for a homer.
In the last half Of the firth inning
the Athletics scored two runs. Jimmy
Dykes ripped single to left field, but
waa forced by Hasty. Young singled
to right, and Hasty took second
uausel' picked out this spot as the
place to double and his far hung drive
chipped the concrete on the cen0.r lie
bl.aehcrs, Hasty scoring few steps
| in front of Youn~.
The Yankees were not so different in
the afternoon game and proceeded to
pile up lead for Sam Jones as soon
as the contest started. In the second
frame Pipp walked to start and Ward
singled to left. Scott sacrificed and
Hofmann got his first hit of the game,
double to center. This blow scored
pipp and Ward. Jones then doubled to
left and Hofmann scored with the third
and final run Of the inning.
An inning later Dykes lerked up anu
singled, but in the sixth the Yankees
scored two more runs. Ward doubled
and scored on Ccott's wo-bagger, and.
after Scott had died trying to stretch
his hit, Hofmann nit a homer to the
center field Dlcachers. In the eighth
Pipp doubled to right and scored on
Hofmann's third hit, a clean single to
right field; that, however, ended the
scoring for the afternoon.
