Babe Ruth failed to pole one out off
the lot and he twice excited consid
cradle derision when he struck out on
wide ones. But he got smashing
the hospital if he had not side-stepped
II alertly. Mogridge did not last and
the Industrious Bob Shawkey had to
hold the Tigers till the assassinating
batting array of the Yanks got out
their clubs. Every member of Muir
derers' Row got at least one hit.
Walter Pipp was suddenly called
away because of illness in his family
and Bob Meusel covered first while
Ward played third. Meusel got three
hits, one of them very healthy two
bagger.
Mogridge Clears Bases
In the second inning Boland packed
the bases with one out. He first dis
appointed the customers by walking
Ruth instead of letting him spattter after
into the surrounding scenery. Then
he passed Pratt. Bodie laid down a
sacrifice. Then Lewis walked and
truculent Truck Hannah struck out,
leaving it up to George Mogridge to
help, himself. After fouling off q
dozen or so Mogridge drove q two-bag-
ger along the right field lines and
cleared the bases for three runs.
All this time there was heated de-
bate between Boland and Umpire
Brick Owens. Boland is not licensed
to use saliva on the ball during the
current season, but he was accused of
it more than once and Owens issued
a warning to Colby Jack Coombs, who
is leading the Tigers tamely about the
local jungles during the absence Of
Hughey Jennings.
The Tigers gave George Mogridge
and Duffy Lewis plenty of work in
their half of the second. Flagstead
crashed one long double to the left
cover his breath from the dash after
it, Pinelli, the spaghetti burner from
the Coast, doubled to the same place,
scoring Flagstaff. Duffy was painting
like a winded pup that had been
chased by a can, when along came a
double by Ainsmith and Pinelli scored.
In the third the Yankees had the
bases packed again, but "Murderers'
Row" was out Of raw meat. Meusel
opened with hit and Ward was safe
when Boland threw wide to first. Here
was the cue for Ruth to send some
shudders through the customers. but
the Babe famed on wide ones. Pratt
got base on balls, but Bodie and
Lewis were out on infield flies and the
incredulous populace inquired: What
do you mean, 'Murderers' Row."
Bob Shawkey to Rescue
Mogridge was knocked out in the
third. Young led with a single to left
and Jones bounced one past Ward.
Ellison sacrificed. Then Veach slashed
two-bagger past the weary Duffy
Lewis. That ended the afternoon for
Mogridge, and Robert the Colbert Shaw
key came to the rescue and halted the
procession.
Veach did some exhibition fielding in
the fourth and abruptly deprived our
Mr. Peckinpaugh of triple. Veach
ambled to the left field corner with
the stride of an ambitious Arizona jack
rabbit and impaled the ball on the fin
gernail of his left index finger.
Immediately thereafter Mr.. Veach
deprived the Yanks of couple of runs
in the fifth. Meusel led off with dou
BILE and went to third on sacrifice by
Ward. Ruth was creased in the ribs
by pitched ball. Pratt rolled one to
third and home. With one Yank on
third and one on second Ping Bodie
drove one that was about to plaster
the left field wall when Veach made
a leap and speared it.
Henry Ford's fellow townsmen got
after Bob the Cob Shawkey with some
emphasis in their half Of the fifth.
Jones doubled and scored on single
by Ellison and one by Veach. Heilman
drove Ellison home with paste to
right. At the yisk Of being lynched by
Town, your correspondent Is willing to
state that the Detroit machine looks q
lot more coherent with Tyrus Raymond
Cobb among those absent.
Murderers' Row ran all round the
landscape in the seventh for net total
of six runs. Meusel started it with
his third nit of the afternoon, single.
Ward hit to center and took second
when Fagstead did some Juggling. Ruth
and let go. The ball went by Young,
who showed presence Of mind enough
to duck, clearing the bases.
Pratt got base on balls and Bodie
laid down another nice sacrifice, a
painful duty for o slugger. Lewis was
struck in the back by pitched ball
and Colby Jack Coombs called out
Boland to massage his arm and his
injured feelings. Truck Hannah hit
This finished Boland for the after
noon and Dauss replaced him. Lewis
scored on a wild pitch. Shawkey
bunted and squeezed Hannah across,
Murderers' Row ended their stroll
through the Jail yards when Meusel
went out on his second appearance in
the inning.
Ruth furnished lot Of enjoyment
for the population in the eighth, but
not by picking the pellet. Nope. The
Babe just swung thrice and missed
each time.
Murderers' Row went out for
another big airing in the ninth. Bodie
singled. Lewis deftly beat bunt and
Hcnnah shot one into the bag at third
flling the bases. Shawkey singled
and scored Bodie and Lewis. Pecking-
paugh pasted one through Jones's legs
and Hannah scored. Meusel struck out.
Ward singled to right and filled the
bases.
The inmates Of Detroit booed Dauss
when he passed Ruth and forced In
HhAwkey. Dauss figured with arith
meticai correctness that one run is less
than four.
