There were only two home run

the whole trip on it. But the home
was the one hit by Lanky Bob Meust
fence on line into Cherry Street al
first time the ball had been lifted out
Babe Ruth did not get home run
all day and he seemed bit excited
over this fact. So did large major
ity of the customers. But one h,t that
Ruth shot through the box almost took
Ehmke out of the park with it, the
sphere travelled so fast. Herbert
got himself a couple of hits.
Heilman Plays Sleepily
Heilman, of the Tigers, played as
though suffering from melancholia or
something. Heilman was slow to field
his position and looked as though he
had lost interest in the game and in
life in general. To-day's victory made
since the fifth of May. The series
with Cleveland, which starts Satur-
cial."
The Yankees rolled in four runs in
the first inning without reaching out
with the heavy clubs. Peckinpaugh
led with hit to left. Meusel struck
out and Pipp was nailed by Young on
a close play. This brought the Babe
up and Ehmke gave him four wide
ones, passing him Intentionally and
causing the customers to complain

ally and the bases were filled.
Ping Bodie came up and drove a
single to left, scoring Peckinpaugh.
Ellison made a good throw to Jones,
who let the ball go by him, and the
single wa sturned into the equivalent
of a home run. Though Ping admits
being built more for comfort than
speed, he threw himself into the high
and came all the way home, driving
in the procession ahead Of him.
The timid Tigers got one in their
a double along the left field lines
Jones was safe when Thormahlen
dropped Pipp's toss Of tho bunt. Ell
lison batted right into a double, but
Young scored.
Ping. the wonderful Wop, drove in
three more runs in the third. With
two out Ruth drove one straight
through the box and Ehmke just had
time to duck to save his life. Some
of Ruth's drives and there will be a
fatality. Pratt hit to right field and
sent Ruth to third.
Ball Eludes Flagstead
Then came Signor Pizzola, the mag
nificent. Ping drove one out to center
and Flagstead came in to catch it on
the first bound. But the ball bounced
right over his lofty bean and rolled to
the fence. In the mean time the Won
derful Wop was circling the sacks
breathing fire from his expanded nos
trils. He galloped all the way around.
1t was the first home run achieved by
the Yankees during the current series
and Ping seemed to think quite we'll

The toothless Tigers gave Thor
mahlen rather rude humping In their
half of the third. Veach hit double
to center. Heilman got base on
balls. Flagstead singled to center, scor-
ing Veach. Pinelli singled to center
and scored Heilman. The Tigers an

fourth, but changed their order.
In the fifth inning Lanky Bob Meusel,
who had struck out twice, achieved the
second home run of the afternoon. He
drove the ball on line over the center
field fence into Cherry Street, close to
the residence of Harry Tuthill, the
trainer, the first time that this feat
has been accomplished. The ball
alighted in passing fivver, as it
couldn't alight anywhere else in De-
troit, and was whisked across the line
to Canada by president bound on re-
plenishing his depleted cellar. The
owner of the historic flivver presented
the baseball to some Of the merry
wives Of Windsor, Canada.
In the seventh inning Ruth disap-
pointed the customers by letting the

spoke to Mr.. Cahill, the umpire about
1t, and was razzed by the bleachers.
The inmates Of Detroit are turning
out at the rate Of 10000 day to see
Ruth hoist 1t, and when he doesn't
hoist It they want rebate.
Thormahlen Cleans Up
The Yanks punched two more across
in the eighth. Lewis got base on
balls and went to third on a smash by
Hannah, The Truck trundling to second

mahlen scored both of them with his
second hit of the day. clean drive to

region that produced Ping Bodie, the
Wonderful Wop, singled in turn, but
Stanage hit right into the old double

to Pipp.
Walter Pipp started the Yankee half
OF the ninth with triple to right.
This brought up the Babe, but he did
not oblige with home run. He hit
to Heilman, who loafed on the lob, and
Ruth was safe while Pipp scored.
Ruth ripped Pinelli's trousers trying
to steal second. Pratt bounced triple
against the score board. "He tried to
