closure. Another poke by the Babe in
the ninth started fifty feet fair, but
the wind carried it foul as it went
out of the lot.
Carl Mays was never in any great
trouble. though the day was tough
ore for pitchers, and the "cheaters"
and mscklnaws were out The wind
awewept across the grounds in the faces
of the batters and the felders were
worried considerably. But the White
~Sox felders seemed more bothered by
their odorous native gales than the
Yankees.
There were two out and two on in
the fourth when the infant cracked out
= his nineteenth home run and destroyed
the faith of Colonel LHommedieu
Huston in mathematics. The Colonel
packs with him 'ruthometer,"
machine for the registering of home
runs. And in all the ball parks the
Colonel sits manipulating this machine
like 8 male Madame De Fargo knitting
and counting.

balls and the gale from the stockyards
Tss blowing right into the face of the

outside the barriers. The customers
rose unanimously and howled
= Colonel Huston picked up the "ruth-
ometer" and dashed it to the concrete
hoor of the stands. "There isn't any
way of keeping count on them" he
declared. NO telling when he will
C smash them out. 1t is 10 season for
mathematics"
. Despite the fact that it was one of
the rawest June afternoons along the
g lake there were 10000 customers in
the park, mostly in panamas and fur
pennies pulled right out of the
moth balls for the occasion. Mays had
TO chip the iccles off his elbow before
warming up.
: The Babe struck out on his first
trip to the bat but the Yanks got one
Z run across in the second, the same be-
