 RELATED VICTORY
Batting Rally in Thirteenth Inning ProCures Four Runs and Victory

Boston, Mass, May 6-Any sooth' saver who plays up old number Is as a. hoodoo will have to reckon with Wild Bill Donovan and his band ol Yankees. For it was in that session against the Red Sox yesterday thN the Donovan troop corraled four runs and won the game by to 4.
 The contest was weird affair ever there was one. The Sox got three runs against Fisher in the open ing inning and another against Mo- eridge a little later along.
 Babe Ruth, although pitching erra. tic ball, was getting away with 1t, and held his guests safe for six innings In the seventh the Yankees, who were trailing at 4 to o, got over couple of runs. No one seemed to care much. But in the ninth they tied the score, mainly because Hob litzol, with two out and one run already home, neglected to tag first base on Gardner's throw, following 8 grounder from Gedeon, and then failed to touch the runner, while Lee Magee hoofed 1t home with the tying run. r. h.
