BOSTON, Sept. 3.-With Babe Ruth
playing right field and Carl Mays
pitching the last two innings, tho
Yankees evened up their series with
the Sox by hanging a 5-to-3 defeat
upon the Barrow combination to-day.
Ruth's ailing wrist wore a protective
wrapping of bandages, but the need of
them was not apparent in his~work.
The Babe drew pass, stole a base
and made one hit in four times up, and
executed two catches in the outfeld
which could scarcely have been i'm
proved upon.
Mays broke into the game in the
eighth inning after Big Jack Quinn
had frittered away a thrce-run lead
and held the Sox safe, while the Yanks
were pounding out a ninth inning
victory, which put them back in second
place.
Of mounted policemen debouchcd upon
the field to guard the Yankee pitcher
from possible harm at the hands of
hostile fans. He did not require pro-
lection, however, and walked from the
field unmolested.
Neither side scored in the opening
round, but the Yankees put two runs
across in the second. Duffy Lewis
was the Yankee lead-off man in this
inning, and was called out by Connolly
on sour third strike. Bodie then
foul line and Ward drew pass. Ruel
poked single to right, scoring Bodle
and sending Ward to third, but overran
first and was trapped between bases
when MclnniS Intercepted Hooper's )
throw-in.
A run-up ensued, and Ward sneaked
home while Everett Scott was giving
a faithful imitation Of Heinie thinner
mans celebrated pursuit of Eddie
Collins. He overlook Ruel and put
the ball on him, but not in time to
forestall Wards run.
The Red Sox made determined bid
for some runs of their own in the Sec
ond half of this round. Hendryx led
off with single to left and McIinnis
doubled over Lewis's head. Schang
famed, however, Bodie came way in to
make spectacular catch of Scott s
short fly. and after filling the bases
by walking Young Brady. uinn burned
a lethal strike past Hoyt.
Mike Menosky muffed an easy fly
OFF Peckinpaugh's bat at the start Of
the third and paved the way for an
other Yankee run. Peck took two bases
on the error, advanced the third on
Pipp's casriticial bunt and completed
the circuit on Ruth's long single to
right. The Babe tried to stretch his
hit and was cut down at second.
Pratt grounded to Brady for the
third out, and there was No further
scoring until the sixth, in which the
home guard laboriously registered two
/ runs.
Mike Mcnosky launched the Red Sox
! ipft toc wit r~r1o
scored all the way from first on Hea-
| dryx's double to the left field wall
NcIinnis came through with a single
to center, but Hendryx pulled up at
/ third and remained there while Quinn
was tossing Shang's easy bounder to
Pipp. A pass to Scott filed the bases
to replction, and Barrow pulled Brady
out of the batting order, in favor Of
pinch hitter Karr
karr raised a puny fly, which Peck
inpaugh corralled in back Of third, but
Eddie Foster, batting for Hoyt. worked
the Yankee HEAVIER for pass, which
forced Hcntryx in with run. This
brought Hooper to bat, and the best
he could do was to foul out to Peck
and terminate the rally.
The sex had tasted blood, however
and hankered for more, and in the
ss\ enth they tied it up. Witt led the
dlive with single to center and moved
up a peg on Menosky's infield out
Heroryx then unlimbered his thirG
nit, Witt riding home with the run that
knotted the score at 3-all Hendryx
tried for second on the throw in and
was caught and McInnis ended the
inning by lining to Peck.
Quinn had had enough and gave way
to t'ays in the eighth. AS the master
OF the submarine ball emerged from
the Yankee dugout he was greeted with
d chorus Of boos and Kisses. which
were speedily drowned by an outburst
OF applause from the fairer minded
fans in the grandstand. The applause
was repeated as Mays returned to thu
bench at. the innings close, and Mays
who was deeply affected by the kindly
reception accorded him, lifted his car
in acknowledgment.
Then came the rally which shattered
