Homers for WalIy and Tim
Walter Pipp. the stalwart Yankee
swatsman, crashed his way all through
that first game welding a wicked bat.
In the first inning he sent home run
into the right stands with two on. Not

noon Tim Hendryx pasted a homer
over the left field wall with one on in
the second. In the third inning Pipp
connected for a triple and scored on an
infeld out. The attenuated but am
bilious first baseman also put himself
on record for a single later and scored
the final run for the Yankees. On his
other trip to bat he bunted safely.
making II perfect day.
The Apsthetics looked so soft at the
end of the sixth, after the Yankees
had scored nine runs and had become
leg weary from hustling around the
bases in the heat, that Caldwell left
the game. Some one suggested that
he was so surprised at the fact that
the Yankees had given him a lead that
the shock was too much for him.
George Monroe, young pitcher with
future, was sent in TO get some exer-
else and some big league experience.
The big right handler who works a lit-
tie like Wild William Donovan when
Wild William was a youth, was nicked
for four runs. But the multitude liked
his work. One of these days he learns

Low Comedy by Ping Bodie
A unique piece of low comedy was
odded TO the first game when Ping
bodie, the champion spaghetti twister
of Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, was
called in from the field to cover third
base. Ping played the base safely by
sitting down. Once in that position,
Pings defensive area is so great that
Lothing can get by him without get
ting into the territory of the short
stop.
Cy Falkenberg, the Thomas A. Edi-
son of the emery ball, finished up ,hs
farce offering for the Apathetics. Cy
had no emery on the ball, and, as a
matter of fact, nothing much else.
After recovering from the shock he
had received when the Yanks gave him
nine-run lead. Ray Caldwell went
ravenous with ambition. He begged
Wild William Donovan TO let him work
through the second game, declaring
that he needed the exercise. Touched
by this excess of ambition, Wild Will
lam consented.
The contest developed into a due!
between the Ursinus Cub and .he
Temperamental Telegrspher. Up 90
the seventh inning it was nip and
tuck between the youth and the vet
Gran. Then, with Ping Bodie out
Caldwell passed Bates.
Stufy Mclnnis was given the signal
FOR the hit-andrun play. Caldwell
threw him a wide one, but McInni,.
through his years Of training, knew
that on this play the batter must do
something or make a goat Of the man
on the bases. Stufy threw his bat az

tious Caldwell. The Apathetics had
taken off the comic masks and were
rlaying like their predecessors, the
Athletics.
Johnson Respects Mr.. Pipp
In the ninth inning the suspense
became acute. Walter Pipp was the
first man up and Johnson, Of UrsInus,
did not like his looks. He placed
nothing within range of the bat that
had broken the backs of the Apathetics
in the first game. Pipp got his base
on balls.
Then Wild William Donovan began to
shuttle the old pinochle deck. He rushed
Paddy Bauman in to bat for Miller.
Patrick skied to Ping Bodie. One out.
j. Franklin Baker, the noted agYi-
culturist and former home-run king,
popped out to first, leaving Pipp look
ing lonesome and forlorn at first.
Two out.
This left only Roger Peckinpaugh,
reliable Roger, standing between the
N1rks and the humiliation Of de-
fec. al the hands OF the Ping Bodie
Burlesque Troupe of Act /. Roger
caught one on the end of his bat
and sent il out into Pings territory.
Ping made a noble squirt, but the ball
rolled for two bsgger. Pipp scooted
across with the run that tied.
The multitude demanded Leslie
Nunamaker. So did Wild William.
Leslie. who has been nursing q lame
cog for the past week or more, hobbled
out to the plate. While Nunamaksr
may have sciatica and numerous other
complaints in the ailing dog, his bat
ting apparatus is all right.
The languid cripple got right under
an Offering from the Ursnus wonder
and hoisted il out for what looked
like a three-bagger even for q lame
man. But Leslie didn't travel that far.
He just limped over TO first and tagged
it. while Peckingpaugh came in with
the winning run.
Ayiators Study Pings Map
During the early part of the game
two ayators from the United States
training station hovered over the Polo
Grounds and studied the various atroc-
tiles committed by Ping Bodie. After
