season yesterday saw the TANKS cldN
to the tune of to 2. The $4,000 al
shell crab rendered by Carl Mays, WI
Moons proceedings. This victory fol
to fourth place in the league.
The Yankee hitters were held safe
by young pitcher named Herman
Pillette, townsman of the celebrated
Ping Bodie, born Francisco Pizzola, OF
the tribe of Rock Rollers. whose
Habitat is Telegraph Hill, San Fran
cisco. Pillette was not Rock Roller.
He lived at the base OF Telegraph Hill
and his tribe had to dodge the stones
pitched by the warlike Pizzolas. Pill
iettes delivery is peculiar. 1t was ac-
quired trying TO pitch rocks uphill
against the PiZZolas
A couple of scratchy hits got Mays
off to bad start and things got worse
as the game proceeded. In the sixth
inning he got into an argument with
Umpire Nallin and looked to the stands
for sympathy. Instead he got what a
crustacean in. search Of sympathy
usually gets, the derisive cry OF the
wild raspberry. This caused Mays to
cover himself with his shell and brood
through the remainder of the after
noon.
The Crustacean Crab.
That is the difference between some
folks ana a crab of the hard shell or
Evers-Gleason variety. These crus-

Byron Bancroft Johnson. president of
the American League, attended the
game incognito. escorted by Col Till
inghast L'Hommedieu Huston. Before
the game they went to the site of the
Yankees new park and inspected the
steam shovel. Both magnates turned
over few practice shovelfuls OF dirt.
The troubles of Mays started few

announced. Blue caromed hit off

Mays Is Wrought Up.
Plllette was the next man up and
no more or hitter than the average
hitter--perhaps even less So But Mays
was so wrought up that he could not
find the plate. and when Umpire Nalln
called the fourth ball the peevishness in
Mays came TO n head. He kicked the
ball when Il was returned TO him and
kicked II so far that Bressler went to
third while II was rolling. Instead OF
taking the side of Mays when the soft
shell crab pitcher reproached the UNI

wreaths or wild raspberry and tossed
them at Mays.
