GIVES YANKS
ONLY A HITS
(Contin-ad from nape one !


Saturday Pennock held the Cardinals
to three safcties, two in the first and
one in the ninth. Grover Cleveland
Alexander yesterday allowed the
Yanks four hits.
Three hits were made off the 80
year-old star in the second inning
that point the game was over SO far
as the Yankees were concerned. Alex
andcr retired the last II New York
side in the fourth inning. His strike
outs totalcd 10. Only Combs was able
to escape the third strike. Ben Pas
chal went up for SEVERED but need
cd only three pitches to end his stay
in the batman's box.
Alexander put the ball just over
the corners, inside and outside, high
and low The heavy hitting American
league champions had few good balls
offered them.
YanAs Use Three Pitches
Shockcr, who started for the Yam
KEGS, was an in and out performer
Shawkey went to his rescue sin the
eighth and Jones finished when i
pinch hitter caused the retirement OF
Shawkey. Stocker, who has a dccep-
tive spitball, went through the fourth.
fifth and sixth innings without per.
hitting a hit, then was bombarded.
Bill Southw0rth, who once played
in a world series in the uniform of
the New York Giants, crashed 4 home
run into the right field bleachers
with two bases occupied in the
seventh, sending the Cards out in
front. Another run came in the ninth
when Ruth could not find a ball driv-
en- along the right field foul line by
Thevenow. The shortstOp got ] home
run.
Alex started bit wobbly, for he
passed Combs, the first man up.
koenig, however, hit into a double
play and the veteran hurier then
gave hint Of what was to come when
he struck out Ruth, throwing a fast
ball by the big siugger for the third
strike. The Cardinals threatened in
the first and second. Hornsby got
his first hit of the series, long
double to right, in the first. Oar
rell's single was followed by Theve-
now's hit for base in the second
without run.
I New York Scores in Second
New York scored its two Guns in
the second. Meusel opened with q
single and took second on Gehrig's
out. Lazzeri drove Meusel home with
q solid smash to left. .Dugan also
got hit. Alexander's error when he
participated in rundown. Of Lag
zeri, trapped between the bases on
an attempted double steal, permitted
the second run. Then Alexander
forced Shocker to miss the third
strike as SEVERED had done before
the unsuccessful double steal.
The Cards lost little time in knot
ting the count. Douthit and South
worth hit and Hornsby moved them
UP with a hunt. "Sunny jim" Bottom
ley drove his fellows home with .
single to right. Bottomley later got
another hit that didn't meaR any
thing but drove Shocker from the
mound. The cheerful first bascman
got two-thirds of his teams hits In
the first game of the series.
From the third to the seventh the
Cardinals were not in position to
score runs, for they could not get .
player on first base. The seventh
br0ugh: different story. O'Farrell,
great catcher who is being promin-
emily mentioned. in connection with
the most valuable player award, OPP
cncd the inning with hard drive for
two bases. Thevcnow shot a single
TO left. Meuscl fieidcd the ban IN
fast time.
Alcxander's best was a high fly to
Mcusei, and the 1outficlder's powerful
arm held OFarfell at third. South
worth drove the ball ovef Babe Ruth's
head and into the blcackers. Horns
BY grounded out but the fans hoarsc-
ly chcered his out almost ms much as
they had applauded Southworth's
i homer. They knew the game was
In the bag.
