appeared to have the sunset section
safely slowed away by similar score.
Then Carl Mays stubbed his toe; Mud
dy Ruel let a thrown ball trickle
through him, and the Yanks had missed
a splendid chance to climb into first
place.
Babe Ruth patrolled right field in
both games and poled out homer in
each. He equaled Perry 'Werden's old
worlds record when he hit into the
right field bleachers for his forty-ffth
circuit clout Of the season in the third
inning of the first game, and estab-
lished a new one Of his own when he
hit the same target with his fortv-sixth
grand tour poke in tho sixth inning of
the afterpiece.-
Rip Collins and Bob Shawkey were
the Yank pitchers in the first game,
and their combined efforts were better
than anything shown by trio of Bos-
ton slabsters. Mays carried the pitch
ing burden in the second. engagement
with Bullet Joe Bush as his hurting
opponent. Mays had two bad innings
the first and the last-six of the Sox
eight hits and all Of their five runs
being registered in these two rounds.
The Yanks got away with a rush~in
the curtain raiser of to-days double
header, scoring two runs in the opening
round. Peckinpaugh led off with a
double to center and moved up peg
while Brady was tossing Pipp's easy
roller to first. Ruth bounced single
off Mc1nnis's ankle, Peck scoring, and
skidded to second on Stuffy's wild
throw past Jones, who covered first.
Pratt came through with a single to
left, scoring Ruth, but Jones prevented
further scoring by tanning both Meusel
and Bodie.
Homer Clinches First
Ruth made his forty-fifth homer in
the third and accounted for one run,
flock of robust hits for couple more.
Peck famed as a starter, but Pipp
drove single to left and galloped
around to third on Ruth's lusty single
to right. Pratt sent sacrifice f1y to
Hooper, Pipp sliding home, and Meusel
outfooted smash to deep short.
Bodies double off the left field wall
on third, where Wards tap to Brady
left him stranded.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, had been
hitting collins rather freely, but had
scored only one run. They put shis
one over in the fourth, in, which
Menosky led off with single to right,
took second on Ruth's poor return and
continued to third on Hannah's wild
peg over second. Bodie lost Hendryx's
him for double, on which Menosky
counted.
There was no further scoring in this
round, but the Sox launched another
offensive movement in the sixth. and
had the tying run on base when the
inning closed. A pass to Menosky,
ncnd:yx's double to left and ,,asc on
balls to McNally filled the bases with
none out and caused furry of activity
IN the Yank bull-pen, where Bob Nc
Graw and Ernie Shore made ready to
relieve the two-gun man in case of
need.
Wallie Schang famed, and Ward
threw SCOTS tap to Hannah in time to
force Menosky at the plate, but pinch
hitter Ben Karr singled to left and
Hendryx and McNally scored. Kid
Foster bs.ted for Jones and cnded the
inning and the rally with n feeble pep
fly to Ward.
Mays's Errors Hurt
An error by Mays paved the way to
two Boston runs in the opening round
Of the closing game. Mays received
Pipp's toss on Hooper's easy roller.
but failed to touch first, and Umpire
Brick Owens very properly called the
nosky singled to left, Hooper scoring.
Menosky advanced to second on Meu-
sells peg to the plate and was driven
across the plate by Schang's scorch-
ing single through Pratt.
Pratt booted Schang's easy grounder
in the fourth and another Boston run
resulted. Stuffy McInnis, who had re-
sumed his accustomed place at first,
laid down a sacrifice and Scott walked.
R~a hny, Anl - Mo-, 1,,1,0
was offered choice of two compara
lively easy plays. He might throw to
third, forcing Schang, or he might try
for double play by way Of second.
He delayed making either until his
belated peg to Peck got only one man,
the batter defeating the relay to first.
Bush then pushed single into right,
Schang scoring. Brady tried for third
on the hit and found Babe Ruth's
perfect throw awaiting him in Aaron
Wards outstretched paw.
The Yanks made bid for couple
in the fifth, in which Bodie worked
, Bush for pass and Mays slapped a
double to left. There were two outs
sandwiched between the pass and
the blow, however, and Peck ended the
inning by striking out. In the second
half Harry Hooper walked, stole
second and moved up to third on Wits
sacrifice bunt. He should have scored
on Menosky's grounder to Pipp, but
feared to make the attempt and never
did get home, Pratt making q great
play on Hendryx's smash for the third
out.
| Tie Score in Sixth
The Yanks broke through Bush's de-
livery and tied up the score. With
, one out in the sixth, Ruth slammed
another homer among the inmates of
the right field blcachers. Following
this Pratt walked and moved around
to third on Meusel's single to center.
Bodie doubled to right, scoring Pratt
and ~sending Mcuscl to third. Ward
then grounded to Scott, who pegged
him out at first while Meusel scored.
With two out in the seventh, pipp
doubled to center and Ruth was in
tentionally passed. Both advanced on
a wild pitch. Bush knocked down
Pratt's sizzling drive and threw his
man out at first.
Neither side scored in the eighth.
but with two out in the ninth Peck
third on Pipp's long single to right.
Pipp took second on the throw to head
of Peck, and Bush filled the bases by
purposely passing Ruth. Pratt then
singled to center, Peck and Pipp scor-
ing. Meusel closed the inning and
ended tho rally by tanning.
