    From Wikipedia: "The National Commission was the ruling body of professional baseball starting with the National Agreement of 1903, which made peace between the National League and the American League ...

So, without his ecclesiastical assistance, the Yankees lost the initial game. But after his Grace tossed out the ball to First Baseman Walter Pipp, at the opening of the second game, the Yankees had no difficulty, romping away with the second game. ...
