The Yanhs outhit the Tigers by ten
smashes TO five, but Bob Shawkey, the
late COB in the service OF the u. S. n,
made the Tiger smashes count by walk
ing men before the hits came. Also
when the Ysnks did get OF the bases
they seemed glued there. 1t was about
as poor an exhibition as the Yanks
have put UP. Babe Ruth did not get
the fortyfourth home run nor did he
come anywhere near it.
Ayers, who worked for the Tigers.
was hit in spots by the Yanks, but he
seemed able 10 hold Murderers Row
fairly safe when they started to show
their teeth. Collins, who was sent in
to relieve Rob the Cob in the ninth,
presented the Tigers with an extra run
when he made wild heave to the first
bag.
