Game - Bodie Returns
BY w. o. Mcclellan

Five thousand Boy Scouts, with theil
guideons flying and half dozen bands
accompanying them, made the Pole
Grounds about the most refreshing
place in the world to be yesterday
The afternoon was the more refreshing
to Colonels Rupert and Huston, fo,
. the fact that the Yankees shut out
Detroit, to 0.
Better still, the Yankees looked like
smart club yesterday. They not only
hit Dutch" Leonard frequently, but
they made every hit count and took
full advantage of every mistake made
by the Tigers.
Inspired by the presence of the Boy
Scouts, Manager Huggins magnami-
~ously forgave Ping Bodie (Signor Piz-
zola), and heaped whole bucketful
of4coals of fire upon Pings head. When
Bill Dineen called Ping out on bad
one Manager Huggins dashed up to the
plate and started to quarrel with him.
What do you mean by picking on
my little pal, Ping?" demanded Hug
gins, or words to that effect. He said
a whole lot more and nearly got him
self evicted from the lot.
And Ping Bodie was whispering
about: "Nice little fellow, that man
ager. Did you get him taking my
part when that big-I mean the umpire
called ME out? He's a regular little
pal, that manager"
Nips Revolt in Bud
Consequently anything that might
have looked like Bolshevism in the
ranks of the Yanks seems to have been
nipped in the bud, as it we're. The two
earnest athletes who exchanged heated
retorts yesterday are now like Damon
and Pythias, Tom and Jerry, Liver and
Onions or any other historic affinities.
The entrance of the Boy Scout con-
tlngent was somewhat disconcerting to
Signor Pizzola. 1t was headed by a
platoon of police which started right
in the direction of the Yankee bench.
where Signor Pizzola was sitting. Ping
rose and paled slightly.
"They can take me if they want" he
observed. There seems to be enough
of them. But they wouldn't get me if
l was on top of Telegraph Hill with
lot OF loose rocks to roll down on
them"
The Georgia Society Of New York
took advantage of the occasion to pre-
sent Tyrus Raymond Cobb with a bas
ket of Georgia peaches and bill fold
containing 81 in currency. The pres
entatlon was made by little Miss
Mary brennan, an eight-year-o,d
Georgia peach.
Our young Mr.. Jack Quinn made the
Tiger sluggers look rather tame, Cobb
celebrated his presentation day by
making a couple of lucky hits, but
the Jungaleers never looked formid-
able. Dutch Leonard, who nearly be-
came Yank, started to crack badly
IN the fourth and was taken out for a
pinch hitter in the seventh.
Start Scoring in Fourth
The Yanks started in the fourth
when Peckinpaugh got all the wav
TO second as Jones made a wild heave
TO Heilman. Baker tapped one to
Young, who tried to nail Peckinaaugh
at third, but Roger slid to the bag.
with Lewis out on pop fly, Pipp bunt-
ed to Leonard and beat the throw to
hrst, while Peckinpaugh came home.
Leonard lobbed high slow one and
Pratt tapped it just in front of him
Leonard made a heave to Young. who
dropped the ball and let it roll by.
Baker came home and Pratt was safe
at first. 1t was at this point of the
game that Ping Bpdie came up ana
there was Miller Higgins on the coach
ing line shouting: That's the bow.
Ping, old boy. Hit it mile"
Ping was called out on strikes and
Miller Higgins had his historic quarrel
with the umpire. After that Truck Han
nah drove a single to left and scored
Pipp and Pratt.
In the fifth Peckinpaugh got base
on balls and Baker, Lewis and Pratt
singled in succession, scoring two runs.
The extra run made by the Yanks in
the seventh showed how highly the
Yankee base running has improved.
Peckinpaugh walked again and with
two out Pipp got to first on another
error by Young while Peck went to
third. And then Peckinpaugh and pipn
pulled the delayed steal neatly and
with dispatch.
The 5000 Boy Scouts we're guests of
