Yanks Go te Work

New York, Apr. 17.

The Yankees started rolling in the fourth inning when first baseman Ellsworth Keller scored on a single by second baseman Joe Gordon. Two nings later Keller came through with a home run to put the game on ice.

Just to make sure that an upset would not take place late in the game, the Yankees unlimbered their heavy artillery in the seventh inning to score two more runs. Outfielder Charles Dahlgren walked and Frank Crosetti, shortstop, outfielder George Selkirk and Keller pounded out singles in straight succession to send Dahlgren and Crosetti across home plate—United Press.
