Mats Loaf in New York.
Whether any more rockies are COM

nitely this week by President Clark
Grifnth. He might As we'll chuck this
season and start experimenting. The
Mats now are Just playing out the
string.
They didn't give the trade in
Yankee Stadium much entertainment
yesterday. When the Yankees scored
four runs in the third inning against
Chief Hogsett they folded. The
Grif1s began to do some high class
loafing. They stopped running out
their infield rollers. they pulled 4
let-Charley-take-it act in the out
field on a short. high fly, and they
fell to letting the Yanks get doubles
on drives which should have been
singles. Being bad ball club is
one thing, but 1t isn't rs bad rs be-
ing q loafing one.
Bump Hadley, the ex-Nat. went
the route for the Yanks and held
the Mats to seven hits, two of which
were successive home runs in the
ninth inning by Buddy Myer and
Sammy West. These came after two
were out and nobody on base. No
body got very worried.
Gordon Hits Two Homers.
Hogsett was given his first starting
chance in nearly = month and he did
all right for two innings. But in the
third Joe Gordon led of with .
home run, his twenty first of the
season. and before the inning was
over Joe Di Maggie had slammed his
twenty-ninth inside the park and
with two on the bases and the score
was 40. In the NTH Tommy Hen
rich hit his twenty-second homer OF
the year. making it SO; and that was
the end Of Hogsett.
Harry Kelley came out to pitch
and Gordon promptly greeted him
with his second homer Of the game.
Incidentally, all Gordon did was to
collect two doubles and two homers
in four times 1T bat, score two runs
and drive across three. In the
eighth the Yanks scored their seventh
and final run with Kelley stin pitch
ing.
The Mats batting attack was pretty
feeble until the ninth when Myer
and West hit their homers. Buddy
Lewis drove home the first run with
. double and the second WAS scored
on base On balls. looping single
BY Kelley, and IN infeld out.
