Bump Sha~key' Early
The Indians got after Bob the Cob
as early as the first inning and made
Il uncomfortable for the former cham
pion deck polsher of the Atlantic
battle fleet. With Graney out Chap

second on Speakers out. Bob the Cob
might have nailed Chapman at second
but he stopped to mediate. Smith

Franklin Baker and Smith scored
In the second inning Johnston hit to
right field and went to second on
O'Neil's out. Bagby drove sharp
crack to right field and Johnston
scored.
1t looked as though the Yanks would
start a drive in the third. Bob the
Cob led the onslaught. The ex-nephew
OF Uncle Josephus Daniels drove one
past third into far left field Chick
Fewster, the all-round Yank, pasted one
almost to the same spot. Jim Bagby,
who had been a complete puzzle to this
point, began to look annoyed
Moriarty, umpiring behind the bat,
got himself a lot of criticism from the
multitude by calling a wide one on
Sammy Wick. Sammy finally hoisted
the ball into the spread territory
occupied by iris Speaker, and the
rally that might have been died a
sudden death 1t doesn't pay to hoist
them with Mr.. Speaker anywhere in the
field
Actors Out in Force
The razzing of Moriarty continued.
Most of the criticism seemed to come
from the press box, which had been
cleared of baseball reporters to make
room for the influx of actors, thou
ing heavily on their hands. owing to
the actors strike. There were 5000
persons in the upper stands, but only
5000 in the press box.
In the fourth inning Pipp started
some brief thrills when he hoisted one
out toward the right field stands. 1t
looked as though it might sail over and
give the Yanks their start, but it
Topped inside the grounds into the
itching mitts of Smith.
Some commotion was caused at this
point of the game newspaper man

spite the warnings of the Actors
Union. He was forcibiy evicted by the

by the management.
Our Signor Francisco Pizzola, who
plays under the prosaic monicker of
Ping Bodie, took opportunity in the
fifth inning to show up iris Speaker.
incidentally Signor Plzzola's demon
stration prevented the Indians from
getting another run in this inning.
Great Catch by Bodie
1t happened in this manner: Graney
got base on balls and went to second
on Chapman's sacrifice. Then Tristram
Speaker himself drove a long liner to
centre field. 1t looked like cinch for
triple. But Signor Pizzola cranked
himself up and ambled backward to
the fence. peeking now and then over
his shoulder. He got the ball on his
fingertips, and still running. made
beautiful peg to third, almost mailing
Graney there.
AS Signor Pizzola wandered in from
the field, tipping his cap with royal
gesture in response to the plaudits of
the multitude, he remarked casually:
"Who is this guy, Speaker, that they
call the King of the Outfielders
heard the name of Francisco Pizzola 2"
Immediately thereafter Ping dis
claimed ali credit for the catch "lt's
nothing" he said.

trouble is that they don't come hardly
often enough"
In the sixth muddy" Ruel made
hftyyard dash after foul by
Wambsganss and nailledi by reaching
1t out of a box.
Drive Bagby From Box
In their half of the sixth the Yankees
pounced upon Bagby, horse, foot and
artillery. They pasted him out of the
box and tied the score, causing q very
sedate bcatswain's mate in the grand
stand to climb on one of the iron poles
and to shrill his delight from that emf
nence. The shrieks were in honor of
Bob the Cob, formerly with the nauti-
cal service
1t was Bob the Cob who led the
charge with a single to left. Chick
Fewster followed with a double to
left. Young Sammy Wick pasted
double to centre, scoring Shawkey and
Fewster. Baker hit to right field and
scored Wick. This tied the score, and
Jim Bagby went to the showers by
unanimous request of the Indian tribe.
Hy Jasper relieved him.
Thereafter the Yanks played rather
brainless ball. Lewis was safe on
Wild peg by Jasper to first. Pipp tried
10 bunt, but forced Baker Pratt got a
base on balls. Then Bodie lined out
to right The rioting subsided.
The Indians came back in the
seventh. O'Neil shot a hit into right
and made it double while Wick was
testing the density of his dome by
humping it against the right field wall.
O'Neil reached third on Jasper's sac
rice and scored on Graneys long f1y
to left.
Yankees Pass Up Chance
1t looked as though the Yanks might
come through in the seventh, when Jas

Wick and Baker both fouled out, and
depression clouded the genial counte-
