Both were rafting good games IN v
hard hitting prevailed, and in whi
it all. A heated argument which gre

Not since the armistice was signed
has there been such hilarity, such
lusty cheering under Coogan's Bluff
as was let loose in the seventh in
ming of the nightcap affair yesterday.
Ernie Shore was showing signs of
falterng in this frame, for with one

this contest also Runners were rest

Ruth, the terrible mace-swinger, was
coming up. The situation was critical
indeed. Babe had already won one
game and had pounded out two hits
thus far in this struggle.
Shawkey to Rescue
Manager Huegins decided there was
only one thing to be done, and he
caVed in his trusty relief pitcher,
Cob Shawkey. To pass Ruth
would not help matters to any great
extent as Shang and Scott. two timely
clouters, would next appear But it
looked as though Babe would be
passed when Bob threw two balls. The
next came floating up, low and on the
inside and just as "Babe" brought his
bat around with terrific swing, which
carried him completely around, the
ball took a sudden drop.
Nettled at thus being foiled, the
fence breaker set himself for the next

and very tempting. Another mighty

The Bostonian was angry now and
grasped the club with tighter grip,
determined to rip the cover right off
the ball. Up it came again, a little
above the knees and right through
the groove The multitude held its
breath. Swish went the club, just as
the ball took a sudden drop and
plunked into the outstretched hands

The mighty Ruth had been famed
and the danger was over. The throng
arose en- masse and let loose it's pent
were thrown to the breezes Hats and
handkerchiefs were waved hilariously
and the cheering and handclapping rose
IN thunderous volume az though the
pennant itself had just been captured
Schang was an easy out, and the ball
game was saved for our Yankees.
Carl Mays attempted to subdue the
Hugmen single handed. He battled
with Thormahlen in a tight pitching
duel in the first game and after win
ming out went back to grab another
while the going was good. He found
,ngs not so good in the next affair.
Nothing but fast fielding and good
pitching served to disturb the regu-
larlty of the teams coming and going
in the first setto until the seventh
The Yanks then broke loose and almost
landed the honors. Baker grounded
out to Witt, but Duffy Lewis slammed
into left: Pipp cut another into right
field, which Roth fumbled, and the two
runners advanced a base.
Squeeze Play Fails
Prospects were very bright for
score. Pratt got in the way of one of
Mays slants and filled the bases. So
far so good. The squeeze was called
but the ball popped into the air and
Mays hustled over and caught it on the
fly, easily doubling Lewis at third by
running to the bag hipself.
With Roth out, Ruth was up. The
third ball was grooved foolishly and
Babe cut it without delay. The ball
just missed going into the right field
bleachers. 1t hit the fence and Ruth
got a double. Schang walked and
expectations by singing into left, Ruth
scoring. Schang was out on an at
tempted double steal, but Scott reached
second Shean sloughed onesat Baker,
who let the ball slip through his
fingers, and Scott tailed Mays
grounded out to first. These two runs
proved enough to win the game.
The locals got the jump in the second
game and scored three runs in as
many innings. Shore kept the hits off
his delivery we'll scattered up to the
seventh and until that time was never
in any real danger. Peck's walk,
Bakers out to Witt and Lewis's crash
into left gave the Yankees their first
count.
Ping Bodie put himself in line for a
big feed of spaghetti for the night by
crashing the apple" into the left field
bleachers for run No. 2. Peck's single,
which gave him an average of 1000 in
this struggle, and Bakers two-base
waliop to right, produced run in the
third. In the eighth Wick doubled to
the right field wall, went TO third on
Pecks' sacrifice and scored when Baker
bounced one off Mays shins.
The seventh was the only frame in
which Boston looked menacing. Witt
singled to centre. Hooper walked and
Roth hit into centre field, scoring Witt
and sending Hooper to third. Shore
was replaced by Shawkey at this juno
ture, and when he struck out Ruth the
lssIc was little in doubt.
The fans will have a chance to see
