Twice, But PurpoSely
Passed Three Times

NORFOLK, Va.-James Hill,
diminutive hurler of the Newark
Eagles, elbowed his way to an
lie victory over Tex Burnett's
New York Black Yankees here,
Sunday, at Balm Field in the in
itial game of a double-header.
The Yankees came back in the
nightcap to rout two Eagle hurl-
ers to lace the Manleymen, 81.
Hill was lord and master Of
the Yankees, holding them to two
scattered hits up to the eighth
inning when he was nicked for
a single by Walker and double
by Miller, which gave the Yam
KEGS their first run. Spearman's
error in the ninth set up
Yankee rally which, with three
hits, one a triple by Bolt, Yankee
centerfielder, drove in five runs.
The Eagles chased John Stan
ley in the opening frame, scor-
mig 8 runs before Jesse Brown
could retire the side. They also
scored three times in the sixth.
BOLT TRIPLES
Burnett shook up his lineup
in the second contest and found
winning combination good
enough to rout two Eagle hurlers
as four miscues aided the Yankees
to out-distance the Eagles.
Manning, Coopers and Hooker
saw service On the mound for
the losers, while Big Bob Evans
went the route for the Yanks.
Bolt secured his second triple of
the day when he unloaded the
bases for New York in the third
frame. Irwin and Matthew hit
for the circuit in the sixth. Two
men were on when Matthews
connected.
The Yankees scored two in the
secind frame, five in the third,
and one in the fifth. The Eagles
registered one in the third, two
in the fifth and four in the sixth.
Mule Suttles got one hit out of
six official trips to the plate in
the. double bill, struck out twice,
and was issued three Intentional
walks. Irwin hit safely on six OF
