this vicinity. Bob Shawkey, pitchir
flannel shirt, shut out the Indians, "
rolled up fourteen runs and elghtee
his seventeenth home run during tn
This makes it thirty-fve home runs
for the Yanks to da>e, with Ruth need
ing only twelve to tie last years rec
ord. The Yanks pushed six runs across
the plate in the first inning, and the
Cleveland ball team. which has been at
high tension for some time. SIMPLY
cracked. Everybody in the Yankee line
up got at least one hit, Shawkey HIM
self getting three. Ping Bodle, the
wonderful Wop, also got three.
1t was a costly victory, for it will
cost the Yanks the services of Duffy
Lewis for nearly three weeks. Lewis
wrenched a ligament in his knee, and
was taken to a hospital. where he will
have to remain for an indefinite period.
This put Ward back on third, Meusel
in right and Ruth in left field. This
still will give the Yankees a powerful
attack, and it will strengthen the de-
fensive in the infeld, as Meusel never
has shown himself a dependable fielder
as yet.
Bodie Makes Prophecy
The victory broke right in the faces
of a convention of Yankee jinxes which
assembled for the series. Francisco
Pzzola, who knows something shat the
black art of jinxes. declares that the
evil spell has been hoisted for keeps.
The heat was so potent to-day that
Shawkey was forced to discard his
fashionable red fannels, and when
Shawkey does this you can inform the
universe that it is somewhat warm.
The heavy artillery of the Yanks
trundled across the field in the third
inning. Muley Uhle, product of the
local lots, was shelled out of position
in few minutes and Myers was
rushed to the relief. The murderer's
ture.
There were over $4,000 customers in
the enclosure when the game started.
In fact the sating capacity of the
diamond and its environs looked more
expensive than the playing space.
With Peckinpaugh out, Meusel shot
one into the cen%,r field customers for
ground rule two-bagger. Pipp
doubled into the population of center
held and scored him. Ruth was pur-
posely passed to the utter disregard OF
the new rule on this case. II looks
very much as though the umpires had
tactily agreed to forget the ordinance.
Pratt was passed unintentionally, fill
ing the bases for Signor PizZola.
The wonderful Wop drove a double
along the thickly populated left field
and scored Pipp and Ruth. This was
the last appearance of Muley Uhle for
the AFTERNOON. He went right home
and Myers came up. Lewis lashed a
hit to third and Pratt slid home.
Hannah lifted fly to left and Bodie
scored.
Ward Goes to Third
Shawkey hit to center field and
Lewis dashed around to the plate. See
ing that he had the throw easily beat,
Lewis tried to slow up. His spikes
caught in the grit and he fell near the
plate, wrenching his knee. He man
aged to roll over and score the run,
but he had to be carried off the field.
1t is probable that this injury will
keep him out OF the game for several
weeks at least. Ward went to play
third while Meusel was sent to right
field. Ruth, the everything infant,
was sent to left to replace Lewis.
After the first inning depression was
thick among the inmates. They re-
covered their spirits to some extent
when Meusel and Ruth struck out in
the second, swinging with great earn
estness at nothing. Shawkey was
annoyed by cinder or a lump of coal
or brick in the eye in the Indians
half of the second. For a while i,
looked as though he might walk {
couple Of runs across, but Billy Evans
Robert the Colbert seemed himsel1
again.
In the Yankee half of the thirt
Larry Gardner abruptly stopped a pos
sible double by Pratt, spearing it with
one set Of digits as it was shooting
past third into the steaming pilgrims
IN left field. Ping Bodie, the wonder
full Wop, got himself conservative
single to center and went to secon'
on Wards out Truck Hannah drov
one past third and Sgnor Pizzol
crossed the plate for the second tim
during the humid afternoon.
The Yanks picked up another in tn
fifth. Ward slashed one down to Chap
man, who made great stop, but coul
not field it in time to nail Ware
Hannah singled 20 center and Shawke
ing Ward. Gardner came close t
punching home one run in the Cleve
land half of the fifth when Smit
doubled into the population Of righ
field and Larry shot one over sec
ond. but Pecknpaugh was there t
meet it.
The seventeenth home run of Rut
came IN the sixth with two out The in
fant lifted the second one right out 0
it bounding from roof to roof over tn
city Of Cleveland. With the game gon
/. the inmates roses on their hind leg
and cheered it passed out Of sigh
In the eighth Pipp sent double int
\ the inmates Of left field. Ruth cracke
one TO Warnby, who made viadut
with his legs and let the ball rambl
through them into the frying fish j
right field Pipp came home. Pratt
out sent Ruth to second, and Pin
Bodie, the wonderful Wop, sent al
other single TO center field, scorin
Ruth.
By this time the population of tn
various fields began to dwndle consit
erably. The departing Clevelandite
began TO clutter up the fields, and tn
game had 70 be held up. Faeth r,
placed Myers, who left to accommodat
pinch hitter in the eighth.
In the ninth Hannah and Peckil
paugh drew bases on balls. Lank B,
Meusel shot one into the inmates
right field, and it went for a grour
rule double, scoring Hannah. Pccki
puuyh scored on an out by Pipp Ru'
drove double into the crowd in rigl
and scored Mcusel. BY this time II
