The former COB showed signs of
weakening toward the end and the
Indians showed two runs across in the
eighth. Miller Higgins sent George
Mogri dye to the rescue in the ninth and
the southpaw prevented a threatening
rally.
The great Ping Bodie continued his
splendid playing and he was the real
hero Of the afternoon. 1t was Pings
timely single that put the home crew
in the lead in the fourth inning after
the Westerners had held one run ad-
vantage from the start. The Wonder
full Wop also also bobbed up with sew
eral catches in center field at critical
moments.
Guy Morton, who undertook to hold
the members of Murderers' Row in
check, was subjected to the same rough
treatment that Caldwell and Coveleski
the series. ~~.e Yankees garnered only
five hits off Morton's offerings dur
ing the six innings that he occupied
the mound, but three of these were
punched in the fourth. The trio of
safeties, coupled with an error by Doc
Johnston, gave the home players three
runs. Another was the Babes home
run in the sixth.
George Uhle replaced Morton in the
seventh, but he fingered on the scene
for less than an inning. Niehaus, a
southpaw, finally finished the game.
Ping Leads the Attack
The Indians got off to an early start
by showing run across ia the
very first inning. After Jameson had
grounded out to Shawkey, Chapman
poked triple between Bodie and Meu-
sell Speaker scored Chapman a mo-
ment later with sacrifice fly to Bodie.
Smith shot single to right, but Larry
Gardner brought the inning to a close
by flying out to Bodie.
Morton went along very nicely for
first three innings and allowed only
one hit, single by Bode. but the
Yanks jumped on him and took the
lead in the fourth by scoring three
runs. Pipp led off with a two Dagger
to right Derrill Pratt then grounded
to Johnston, but the latter made q
poor throw to Gardner in attempting
to catch Pipp at third. Ruth drew a
base on balls after three balls and two
strikes had been called on him, and the
bases were filled.
Lank Bob Meusel slapped roller
to Gardner and Pipp was nailed at the
plate. The great Ping then smote the
pellet for single to left, on which
Pratt and Ruth scored. Aaron Ward
famed, but Muddy Ruel came through
with a single to left on which Meusel
tailed
Babe Ruth brought JOY to the hearts
of the $4,000 spectators by connecting
with one of Morton's slants in the
sixth inning and driving it out of the
lot for q circuit clout. The ball landed
9 no ia
field grandstand, just inside the foul
line.
Peck Gets Daily Homer
The Yanks assaulted Uhle in the
seventh and gathered two more runs.
With two out Roger Peckinpaugh
slammed one into the left field bleach
ers. 1t was Peck's third home run in
the last two days. Pipp was hit by q
second. Pratt then shot a single to
center, and Pipp scored when Speaker
fumbled the ball. Pratt took second
on the error.
Uhle was then given the gate and
Niehaus made his appearance in the
box. Ruth continued the bombardment
by shooting d single to right, on which
Pratt reached third. The Babe and
Pratt then attempted double steal
but the latter was caught at the plate
on Wambganss's quick return of
Thomas's throw
Speaker threw almost all his reserve
strength into the pastime in the final
innings in an effort to turn aside the
tide of defeat, but to no avail. Graney
batted for O'Neill in the seventh AND
Ray Caldwell was sent in to hit for
Morton in the same inning, but
Shawkey turned them both back.
Indians Make Futile Rally
In the eighth, however, the Indians
really became menacing, but the net
result of their desperate stand was

inning with his second hree-bagger OF
the afternoon. Speaker scored him
with a single to right Smith Their
forced his manager at second, Shawkcy
to Peckinpaugh. Gardner poked
single to left scoring Smith, and took
second on Meusel's throw to the plate

that the pace was growing too hot fol
