Yankee youth once again made the
going difficult for the National

Laxzcri, rookie infielders.
In the second inning bit Of care

much greater margin If he is ut his

With Gchrig on third, Lazzcri on
first, nugan up and one out, the stage
appeared to be all set for some Yam

Dugan grounded sharply to Horns

have been forced to make a play on
the batsman, and while he may have
eventually gotten Tony in the run up

run would have crossed the plate.
When the Yanks went into the eighth

But to get back to the stiff wind

quite difficult.

to deep left. The ball was hit harder

Thcvenow gave chase. The wind
was too elusive. When he started
