eered a double play against the
Mackmen in the second game of The
series here the like of WHICH has
seldom been seen anywhere. It's sue
cess, incidentally, showed how the
Athletics are inclined to play ball
when on the wrong end of the score.
With one down in the fifth Bishop
walked. French put up high pop
fly toward first base. Judge hardly
moved a foot as he peered up at the
ball Bishop halted within 10 feet
of first base French. one of the
fastest men in the league, slowed
down to a walk Bucky Harris
moved over like a panther and placed
his foot on the bag. Suddenly. IN
the twinkle of an eye, Judge pulled
away as though looking into the sun.
The ball landed safely at his feet
Quick as a cat, Judge picked up the
ball and tossed it to Harris. That
retired the slow moving French.
Then .he hurled it to- Myer for
double play, Bishop not having start
ed toward second. The inning was
over and The Mackmen walked sheep
ishly to-their positions The stunned
fans eventually found their tongues
and hurled singing comments at
their heroes.
French should have played out the
string by running. If Judge caught
the ball, he would have been out.

might have been forced at second,

Rice danced a hot one back at
Walberg. He kept Ruel close to
third before pegging to Galloway at
second. The short fielder, instead
OF tagging the bag and forcing
Ruether at once, walked down the
line and met him, tagging him.
While he was doing that Ruel one
cylindered it across the plate for
a run that would easily have been
prevented by fast handling Of the
ball on Galloway's part. In many
ways the Mackmen and the Yank'
ees play a similar type of baseball,
the heavy slugging kind, paying
small attention to the finer points
of manufacturing runs. Over a
period of six months, with pitchers
generally becoming more effective
on all sides, the clever, thinking
team has distinct advantage over
it's slugging rivals when those rivals
slug and think not at all.
Rice's single, an infield out and
