New-York tribune., 1919-06-11

The most startling feature of tho
game was the departure of Francisco
Pizzola-or, as he is more Familiarity
known, Ping Bodie He left the game.
the Yankees and the Polo Grounds fat
after the fourth inning in fit of IN
dignation at being rudely spoken to by
Manager Miller Huegins
When last seen Ping was garbed in
the overalls that ie wore when ha
worked in the shpyards and had his
riveting tools in his hand. 1t is re-
ported he had asserted that he would
go back to building a better and
bigger merchant marine and leave
thankiess pastime fat. Others had ID
th2t he was merely going out into chs
garden and eat worms.
Some Comparisons
The quitting of the Polo Grounds BY
Signor. Pizzola was almost as startling
as the departure of Signor Orlando
from the peace conference Others are
comparing it to the storied run-out Of
Achilles, the Greek shortstop, who left
the worlds series with Troy fat, with
the bases filled and no strikes called on
him.
1t was due to Ping that the Tigers
got their lone run. With one out in tha
fourth, the only Tyrus Raymond Cobb
shot one at Herbert Thormahlen and
started on a dash for the first bag.
The speed of Tyrus so dazzled Thor
mahlcn that he made bad throw tc
Pipp. Before the ball could be recov-
cred Cobb shot all the way to third
like 4 gyrating comet. Veach bounced
one to Pratt, who threw Tyrus out at
the plate.
Then the troubles of Ping Bodie
started. Harry Heilman lifted long
high one to centre. Ping trundled after
it, mlsjudged it, then came back and
got one hand on it, but the ball bounded
away from him and was scored as
three-bagger. Veach came home On the
play
Wien Bodie returned to the Yankee
dugout he was bowed with humiliation
such as could be felt only by one Of
his super-sensative nature. Miller
Higgins glared at him and made re-
mark-exact words unknown. Signor
Pizzola retorted with a look of we'll
bred hauteur and some words, the
nature of which arc unknown Then
considerably more in anger than N
sorrow, Signor Pizzola walked off the
field and out into the world
Comes or TX Rollers
1t seems that - snor Pizzola cores
from a supersensative people, the Rock
Rollers of San Francisco. Their habitat
is Telegraph Hill, an eminence Of that
hilly burg. Ordinarily they are peace
full and pastoral people, but when their
feelings are aroused they extract rocks
from the slopes of their dwelling place
and roll them down on the rest of the
city Hence the name Rock Roller The
writer once dwelt among them and
shared their simple joys and sorrows.
But got indoors when they waged their
wars.
Such was the nature that Miller Hug
gins unwittingly reused yesterday and
the end is not yet. Colonel Huston,
half owner of the Yanks, was frigid
with amazement at this breach of dis
2l2line. Over in France men who COM
mltted an offence of this sort were senr
fenced to be shot to death with mus
kerry and afterward pardoned and
promoted by the President
Young Herbert Thormahlen pitched
a truly wonderful game fer she
Yankees, holding the Tiger sluggers
down to three hits. Cobb was slightly
peevish when he failed to land this
cool and confident young southpaw
for the first time. Thormahlen has
perfect faith in himself, which is moro
than half of the work.
Wick scored both runs for tho
Yankees. The first came in the open
ing inning, when Samuel bounced a
Texas Lacquer over Ellison's head.
Both Cobb and Ellison loafed on the
job, but Wick did not. He cranked him
self to the high and sped on to second
before Cobb and Ellison could decide
as to who should field the ball. Peckin-
scored on Bakers fly.
Wick an Active Youth
In the fifth inning Wick got base
on balls and reached second en- Peckin-
paugh's sacrifice. With Baker out on
Pop fly Duffy Lewis connected With a
hit ITO right field and scored Wick
Duffy had previously connected for a
two bagger to left, which did not figure
in the scoring
Boland, who usually has the Yanks
puzzled, was no enigma to them yester-
day. He was swatted eight times, and
finally was taken out in the eighth for
a pinch hitter. "Slim" Love. the cy-
Yankee pitcher, officiated at the demise
of the Tigers.
Lamar, who relieved Bodie at centre
field, covered himself with blanket or
two of glory. He got two nice hits out
of three times at bat, and did some
graceful fielding. The fielding of Peck
lnpaugh was highly artistic. With
Veach on in the ninth, Heilman made
a nasty, bounding drive at Peckinpaugh.
who fielded it beautifully and stopped
Veach at second. Otherwise there might
have been some serious trouble for the
Yanks.
1t IS not known what punishment will
be meted out to Bode for his insubor-
dination. 1t is rumored, however. that
the Yankee officials will not permit him
to be in the Boy Scouts parade to-day.
