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.

Low Comedy by Ping Bodie
A unique piece of low comedy was
odded TO the first game when Ping

called in from the field to cover third
base. Ping played the base safely by
sitting down. Once in that position,

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

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

Two out.
This left only Roger Peckinpaugh,
reliable Roger, standing between the
N1rks and the humiliation Of de-

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 Dagger. 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 lowered over the Polo
Grounds and studied the various atroc-
tiles committed by Ping Bodie. After
