CRAWFORDSVILLE, April 23 (U.| P.).—Aided by six errors, Indiana | university scored its second victory |of the season over Wabash college | ‘here yesterday, 20 to 6. The Hoo- | | ders won the first game 6 to 3. | The Little Giants got off to a 4 to 2 lead in the first inning, all runs |

Gordon's fielding was a thing of beauty yesterday as he handled 11 chances in the Yankees’; 11-to-5 triumph over the pathetic Athletics. { When Gordon raced to the left of second, scooped up Bob Johnson's! roller which was headed into center | for a base-hit and tossed the Phila-| delphia outfielder out at first, Al] Schacht, the baseball clown, who was sitting in the press box, remarked: “There, gentlemen, is the greatest second baseman I ever laid eves on and I've seen some pretty | fair second sackers in my time—| Lajoie, Frisch, Eddie Collins, Tony Lazzeri to mention a few. But Gordon can do things none of the others could.”
