Campaigns, Had l to O
Lead Until Sixth
SENATORS WIN CONTEST
Braves Take Two From Brook.
Ign; Carl Mays Looks
Potent With Giants


FolnC out the Athletics to the YAM
KEGS, and the champions OF the world
become invincible, by one means OF
another. The Hugmen required the
services Of binding sun playing
through the lattice at the back OF
their stadium to prevent Old Jack
Quinn from pitching two-hit shut
out against them yesterday. but with
that aid the YankS slipped home
ahead by 2 to ! In the first game OF
the series.
May Follow Up
With such q start the champions
may be able to follow up their ad-
vantage against robert Moses Grove,
who was nothing but cousin to them
all last season. but II they really are
starting the season in batting slump
Connie Mack seems to have his
chance at last. Higgins will not get
four-hit pitching from Hoyt every
afternoon, and Quinn will not lose
every time he holds the Yankees or
anybody else to one clean blow.
The veteran OF Is campaigns had
a lead Of / to 0 in the seventh yester-
day when Fate turned against him. In
that round the sun so burned the
eyes Of Mule Haas that he permitted
Lou Gehrig's hoist to fall at his feet
for double, and Gehrig skipped
home on Muesel's two-bagger to right.
With two gone in the eighth, Earl
Combs got another sun double" to
Haas sector and scored on Koenig,s
drive, which Miller might have caught
but for the glare.
Senators Win First
The Senators broke into the win
ming column when Fred Marberry
turned back the Red Sox at WASH
iugton by 3 to l, and Cleveland made
it three out Of four from Detroit with
Z to 4 victory. Home runs by Grouse
and Metzler deprived the Browns Of
chance to sweep their four games
against the White Sox, who rallied
late to win by to 4.
The Giants occupied the National
league spotlight today as they moved
to Boston to exact their spring toll
from the Braves. In defeating the
Phillies by II to 5 at Baker bowl yes
terday, to clean up the abbreviated
opening series In two straight games.
the Giants punched Burt Shotton's
young boxmen for 20 hits and 26
bases, but the significant item in their
victory was the pitching Of Carl Mays.
Fred Fitzsimmons, who once rocked
upon his own fingers while sitting In
a low chair reading book, injured
one of them in fielding a grounder in
the first inning yesterday, and the
second found Mays on the mound.
From that point to the finish the
Phils, who still can slug II they can
do nothing else. collected just six
hits and pair Of runs.
Mays Has Promise
II yesterdays performance by Mays
can be repeated at proper intervals
through the summer McGraw's gam
bic in signing the submarine ball star
after his arm seemed to be gone will
return handsome dividends. Perhaps
Mays will crowd Genewicln for q
place among the Big Four Of the
Giant staff.
The Giants had the National league
almost to themselves yesterday, Is
rain permitted the Pirates to elude
the eager cubs. Jesse Haines out
pitched three Red rivals in Cincin-
natl, enabling the champion G ,.:rdinals
to win, by 8 to I. their third victory
In the opening series Of four games.
Chick Hafey backed Haines with two
home runs, his second and third OF
the season. and batted home four
markers, as he did In the opener.
The Braves nosed out the Robins
s to S in the morning half Of the
Patriots day double bill at Boston,
and then won in the afternoon by S
to l. The mount was occupied in the
second game by Dazzy Vance, Uncle
Robbie's sole hope for avoiding John
Heydler's coal cellar, but the Braves
overlook him with three-run rally
In the sixth.
