After vinning four out 6f 'six from the Phil- jes, the locals played the humble part a punching bag on the Polo jrounds, for the faltering Dodgers fwatted them about to the sheer de- ht of the Twenty-third regiment of Arooklyn. The Flatbush boys bowled r the prospective champions by gores of 13 to 6 and 2 to 1. It was the second double-header lost by Giants this season, the Reds hav- flayed the Harlem men in two on July 12. However, yester- 's reversals did the Glants no real 'm, as Philly got only an even jreak in Boston and remains nine full mes in the rear. ‘With three bands blaring away, it the noislest local double-header many years. The games were at- endbd by the Twelfth, Seventy-first jnd Twenty-third New York regi- jents. . The Seventy-first and the enty-third were camped next to ch other in the right field seats, and ho college lads ever offered their foot- 1 teams more vocal encouragement han the doughboys worked up for fheir respective favorites.

One | of these was Ralph Sharman, an out- | fielder who had a trial with the Giants | and another was Bailey, formerly of McAlester, Okla It is questionable if the Athletics would have made'a run off the pitch- | ing of Ray Fisher in the first game had it not been for the fact that the Yankees had ten tallies chalked on the board when the Athletics went to bat in the ninth session. Fisher | tossed up the ball in this inning with the idea of retiring the side on f! as quickly as possible and the loc: managed to bunch three hits for a run. Up to this inning the Athlctics . had collected only two hits. Any lidea that there was to be contest was deftly removed by the Yankees in the second inning, when they battered the opposing hurlers for four solid blows, interspersed | with two passes and a brace of er- rors. Baker was the batting hero of the first game, getting two doubles and a pass in five times up. The second game saw the Mack- man pitchers once more mauled with- | out mercy and enough runs were piled | up to assure a second victory tor New York. Ed Monroe, a rookie who has been used several times as a pinch pitcher, made his first start and re- mained on the mound for the full nine inning: While he was hit freely Monroe kept the bingles well scatterel. Tn | the seventh Meycr's triple and Grif- fin's sacrifice fly gave the Quakers their only tally. 1 First Game. 070020001—10 10 2 000000001—1 5 3 Seibold, a New York Philadelphia Fisher and Nunamyker; Schauer and Haley.
