Mother Nature reeked havoc on Friday and Saturday, washing out those game and prompting twin bill today. The Chairman of the Board goes for the Pinstripers whole lady year’s Topps Rookue if the Year, Jim Nash puts his unbeaten streak on the line.

The game started as a pitchers duel, Nash collecting three scoreless innings and Whitey permitting a mere single through six shutout innings. Top 4, Yanks broke the seal but only through the generosity of the hosts. Nash walked Mickey the plunked Pepitone. He then got the next 2 but Ed Charles muffed an easy grounder allowing the Commerce Comet to streak home for the first run of the contest. The Yanks added three the following inning, Ford singles and Clarke drew a walk. Similar to the previous inning, Nash got the next 2 but Pepitone drove one in the gap plating a pair then waltzed home on a Whitaker knock. Top 7, Ellie Howard deposited a Duliba offering into the left field seats making the lead 6. Bottom 7, Cater doubled and Ed Charles drew a walk. Dick Green then ripped into a Whitey meatball halving the lead. Top 9, the Yanks reminded Wes Stock why he is now a coach. Two walks and an error loaded the bases for Ellie Howard who knew what to do, a gram slam. Tom Tresh climaxed the inning with a two run triple putting the game out of reach.
