Hugggins Squad
To Three Hits
Red Sox Obtain Winning

First Inning; Score, 81
By w. O. Mcclellan


Allen Russell, one Of the players
who was traded to the Boston Red Sox
for Carl Mays and choice assortment
of injunctions, affidavits and ulti-
matums, held Murderers' Row of the
Yankees to three puny hits at She
Polo Grounds yesterday. George Mog
ridge, not being quite ready for a
chilly afternoons work, wilted a
couple of times and the Sox took the
Yanks by the score of 3 to 1. No
diagram was made of yesterdays home
run by Ruth, because Ruth did not
make home run.
Miller Huggins, the midget manager
Of the Yanks, irritated William Din
neen, head suppressor of home runs.
by initiating the call of the wild crab
singing to his mate along the shores
of Coney. The midget was ordered out
of the lot and stalked to the center
| field fence to brood over his wrongs
But Dinneen wanted him all the way
out of the lot and held up the game
until he passed through a crack in the
| fence.
Ernie Shore emerged shortly after
ward and took I'D his position at the
point where Huggins Disappeared
Word was passed to the stands that
the midget manager was concealed in
the sweater pocket of the big pitcher
and that he viewed the game from that
strategic position. Be that as it mav
the 4anks lost the game anyhow.
Dislikes Home Runs
The exact meaning of the crustacean
talk that reused the ire of Dineen is
not known, but William was very angry
indeed when he ordered Huggins TO va
cate the dugout. 1t is believed that
cfon hrOoIinr
home runs that have been hit in this
series has developed an acute melan-
choly in the soul of Dineen. He does
not like home runs. He hates EN-
All ex-pitchers do.
The presence of Babe Ruth did not
excite Allen Russell to any extent.
Twice the Babe struck with force and
futility on the air. On the third time
up he hoisted one to short right field
The official saliva singer of the Red
Sox kept the Babe annoyed exceedingly
and kept the eight thousand fans from
getting enthusiastic. The right field

The Sox broke loose in the first inn

a base on balls. Menosky rolled one
, over to first and beat it to the bag,
Mogridge getting the ball from Pipp
but straddling the bag instead of cling
ing to it with one of his brogans
Hendryx flied out. McInnis made
nit and scored McNally. Foster shot
hard hit to right field The ball was
shooting toward the plate as Menosky
came home, but Mogridge reached out
and caught it to make another relay.
If the ball had gone through Ruel
might have nailed Menosky. AS it was,
the time taken for the extra relay gave
Menosky just sufficient time to beat
the ball to the plate by a whisker.
Mighty Ruth Strikes Out
The Yank's half of the second inning
brought the Babe to the bet for the
first time and was the signal for a
vociferous greeting. The Babe let
good one go by, then swung at the next
two and was out Duffy Lewis beat n
lnfield hit and went to second when
Russell threw the ball high over first.
Derrlll Pratt shot a CLEAN hit to left
field and Lewis came home with the
lone Yankee run.
