New-York tribune., 1920-05-19

a crashing double into the dial of
unnecessary brutality.
The Babe is suffering from an &C.
centric knee which sometimes slips its
moorings, causing his feet to point in
different directions at times. The
knee goes on the loose periodically.
and yesterday happened to be one of
days The medcos are cranking up the
Joint and Babe may be able to resume
his arduous labors to-day or to-mor-
row. In the meantime the second line
troops of the Yanks are getting their
chance.
Bob Shawkev held the attack of the
Indians to three hits. According to
the experts Shawkey is either over
worked or underworked this season.
Either Bob the Cob is pitching too
much or too little The Indian slug
gers yesterday seemed to be of the
opinion that there was nothing at all
the matter with the pitching of Robert
the Colbert. Elmer Myers, who
learned what suffering meant while
working for Cornelius McGillicuddy.
got most of the plastering from the
Yanks. Uhle was bumped after Elmer
was carried out
Even the Ping Thinks
Not only did the Yanks hit with
vehemence and persistence, but they
became unusually daring on the bases.
Ping Bodie, who contributed a couple
of two baggers to the aggregate swats,
went even further. He started to think
on the bases. Ping usually does his
thinking with deliberation while sit
ting down and resting his intellect
low. 1A so, Il ,,.I.
deliberately on his feet. The purpose
OF his thought was to deceive Johnston
into believing that he would not try
for third But though Ping thought
deeply and earnestly he was nailed
while trying to reach the bag.
That the Yanks did not waste any
time on the bases is shown by the net
Heretofore the Yankees have been
heaving the anchors as soon as they
reached first The team looked fast
well as powerful yesterday.
About $4,000 watched the slaughter
Among those parked in the upper
perches were B. B. Johnson, president
of the American League, and Phil Ball,
whose St. Louis Browns are the next
victims sentenced to face the Yankee
batting squad.
The Yanks took their lead in the
third after Ping Bodie exchanged some
mystic greetings in Native Son patois
with James j. Corbett, another San
Franciscan. Ping then started to show
off by cracking out Dagger to
left. Ordinarily Ping might have
stopped for rest at the first sack, but
this time he continued moving. Han
nahs sacrifice sent him to third and
ne. scored when Gardner fumb!ed a
poke by Shawkey.
Wick to the Rescue
Then Elmer Myers started to get
anxious and packed the bases by walk
ing Ward and Pipp. This made it
Ruth's turn at bat and an excellent
cue for the climax of melodrama,
but the Babe was elswhere trying to
locate his dislocated knee and Sammy
Wick came up instead Samuel justified
the expense to which the two colonels
have been put in the matter of provid- /
ing fodder for his tapeworm by clout- /
ing a tWo-bagger that almost ruined |
the left field fence. This clout brought |
N three runs, which is almost as many
as the Babe himself might have scored |
under the same circumstances.
The next eruption Of Yankees came
IN the seventh. Shawkey forced Han
nah, who got himself real hit to
left. Ward hit a double to right that |
almost went over the top. Peckinpaugh /
famed. Then Pipp grossly deceived |
and tricked Tristram Speaker. Pipp
invariably hits into right field and
Spoke moved into that sector. But
this time Pipp clouted the ball into
center, where Speaker wasn't, and it
went for two-bagger, scoring Shawkey
and Ward. Wick got base on balls
and Lewis hit into left, scoring Pipp.
Ray Caldwell, who used TO work for
the Ianks, came up as pincher in the
eighth. He got hand, but not hit.
Then the Yanks broke loose again
against Pitcher Uhle and piled up four
more rather unnecessary runs.
With one out, Truck Hannah hit to
center. Shawkey was safe when
Wambsganss let one so through him.
Ward drew base on balls and filled
the bases for Peckinpaugh, who has just
returned from sick leave. Peel seemed !
to he entirely recovered for he cracked |
hit to left and Hannah and Shawkey /.
scored. Pipp got base on balls and |
Wick struck out. A hit by Duffy Lewis |
brought in Ward and Peckinpaugh.
Peck Back in Lineup
Peckinpaugh was back in the game
with his fielding too. Both he and Pratt
made some desperate stops, which /
aided materially in reducing the num-
Der of hits to be chalked against Rob
ert the Colbert. All around the Y.nks
were at their best and they showed |
how formidable they could look even
without Ruth.
But to-day is another dav and
Stanislaus Coveleskie will have to be
reckoned with.
The score:
