The Yankees did hitting
yesterday and they found a. team
which could make errors while their
opponents were hitting. the thing
that they themselves have been
doing ever since the season opened.
The result was that behind fairly
steady picthing by Waite Hoyt, they
, won from the Senators by a. score
of ¢ to 3 and evened up the series.
Paul Zahnister. the youngster who
‘gave them a lot of trouble in the
cladng days of last season. went in-
to the box for Griffith’s team today
and struck out Babe Ruth in the
first inning. Apparently he thought
that won the game. but the other
Yankees didn't think so.
Earl Whitehill was effective and
Detroit made a clean sweep of the
series of three games by beating
St. Louis ‘by a score of 3 to 4. IVild-
ness of Bayne and Lyons helped the
Detroit ol‘iense. ,,
St. Louis scored one run and De-
troit made two' by means of a dou-
ble steal.
Sherrod Smith smashed one of
Hollis Thurston's slow pitches to
centre field for a. single after two
men were out in the tenth inning
and gave Cleveland a 'l’ to 6 victory
over Chicago.

hard in the eighth inning and took
