What flock of home runs went to

home runs for the home team. Weep
ing and wailing and gnashing of teeth
prevailed in the Yankee dressing room
after the game, for the contest was lit
orally tossed away
From the New York standpoint. the
solitary bright spot was the hurting of
George Murray, who went the first six
innings in fine style. He allowed only
three hits and no runs up to his last
stanza. when a circuit smash by Whalen
and wild throw by Devormer brought
in two runs. Not only that, but big
George gathered himself long double

noon a complete success as far rs he
WAS concerned. Baker stole the big
Bambino's thunder with two circuit
smnshes to his credit but with the
short right field wall home runs we're
more common than any other variety oI
hits.
The Yanks scored only two singles
during the afternoon, which made n
total of eight hits with the five home
runs ard Murray's double. Coupled
With four errors it was not enough to
Win. st. Paul gathered in nine safe
blows and made only two errors, and
that partly explains the result. Jol-
ley yielded only four hits in this three
innings Of labor, but he should have
sued his alleged helpers for non-sup-
port, as five runs we're scored in that
period. Tom Rogers. another ex-
Yankee, finished the game for the st.
Paul team.
