FTER all the bad pitching A starea by the Yanks at the Polo Grounds yesterday, it was a good game, and the best part of it was the brave attempt of the Yanks’ clouters to overcome a big Brown lead which, alas! kept pace with the comeback. Indeed, the game was something lke the problem that confronted the arithmetic frog which fell down a well, He would leap twice and fall calculate how many jumps it would take him to get out. He finally saw daylight, but, luckily for him, he didn't have any ninth inning to check his striving. And luckily for the Browns, the contest, or they would have lost the game which they finally won, nine to eight, ‘The visitors overcame a two run lead in the fourth by staging a hitting bee off Waite Hoyt and Hip Collins that netted them seven large runs. Williams beat out a blow to Peckin- paugh, taking cond when the Yank shortstop threw Severeid's grounder wildly to first. Ellerbee and Jacobson doubled and pitcher Davis singled, the batch of blows bringing in four runs. Huggins chased Hoyt to the showers and brought in Collins. ‘There was only one man out, and Rip forced Tobin to lift a foul to Pipp, But then zel hit for a homer, scoring both Davis and Gerber ahead of him. ‘The fans seemed disconsolate when Whitted. “Pieuerui Gran” Pittaburgh Goumnba, ‘Gneinnati Brenton, Cincannati Naeaa petra Nizon,’ floston = Creme iroowiyn Torareet, ot.
