TOBARRY'S BUNTERS Pulling the “Inslde Stuli” Gains Another Win: for Champs New York April 13.—Although the Yankees are expected to arrive some- where ultimately this season they have not started yet. The Boston Red Sox, giving & vivid and lifelike imitation of a world championship baseball team, yesterday beat the militant New York Americang for the second time pnd by the depressing acore of 6 to 1. It is beginning~to look ltke a habit. One might offer the excuse of cli- matic conditions and advance the theory that the Yankees, like ' the merry springtime, are hesitating about getting under way. Then, too, there is an dlibi of the rain, which made . ~the fleld heavy and the ball slippery. .But somehow the heaviness of 'the ball did mot seem; to bother the Red Sox, The game -was really won in the first inning, and by'the faVorite Red Sox strategy, which is bunting. The team that can pdle them now and then for long distances may be popular ‘with the masses, but the team that Jen the plycholouul ‘moment for mx;. tapldly abput the infield is the team that wins ball games and ‘whacke up the ' world . serles kale, which-—every bmb-ll club owner will YANKS ARE LOSERS | tell you—is the ultimate goal of the national pastime. ‘The score: r. h e 800100101——& 9 0 New York .000001000—1 7 5 Batteries: Leonard and Thomas; Shawkey, Love and Walters and Nun- amaker. .

INDIANS SEEK CADY Owner Dunn of Cleveland Team In- structs Fohl to Spare No Expense in Securing Wood’s Old Mate- Cleveland, O., April 13.—The Cleve- land American league club is very anxious to secure the services of For-} est Cady of the Boston Red Sox, to work with Joseph ,Wood this sum- mer. In past seasons with the world's champions Wood and Cady generally worked together and Manager L. A. Fohl has figured that Wood's value to the club will be greatly increased if he is performing with a catcher in whom he has as much confidence as he has in Cady. ‘ ‘Manager Fohl, under instructions from Owner Runn, is prepared to go the limit in tf® way of a money offer to secure the services of the Red Sox star and is quite willing to trade a player or two. But as he does not care very much about trading Catcher O'Neill, a man whose services have been sought by both the Red Sox and Detroit this spring, the chances are not very bright that gy trade will be’ effected.
