New-York tribune., 1920-08-02


Row was not quite as startling as one
decision by Umpire Tommy Connolly
Babe Ruth lifted one into the crowd
for ground rule two-base hit. Jack
son went after it, but emerged from the
bottom of the heap without it Never
theless Connolly ruled Ruth out on a
oulla board hunch that jackson might
nave caught the ball and given it to a
friend for souvenir ONLY the weird.
lnscrutabe mind of the umpire himself
can explain how this could be doped
out.
Wanager Muller Hugg.ns protested the
game on nearing from several specta-
tors that jackson did not catch Ruth's
fly ball.
The Yanks we're not hitting in this
first game Of the series, and when the
lanks are not hitting they look very
sad. Ruth did not get home run ali
afternoon; in fact, he did not get E evan a.,
a single.
Clout Bob the Cob
The Sox started to touch I'm o,,r
Robert the Colbert Shawkey as earlv az
ttc INST inning. Leibold led with q
single that Jared the Cob loose from
his slippers. Edward Collins lined to
Ward and landed into a double nlav
w eaver and Jackson made clean SINGLES
but telsch was thrown out bv Shawkev
Babe Ruth, attended by battery of
cameras and an innovation in the shape
OF bat girl, furnished a touch of
gayety IN the second inning by strik-
ing out with great earnestness. Ward
also famed with some vehemence. The
crowd started to scale the fences in
tins inning, pouring into the grand
stands and crowding the cash
customers
John Shano Collins started the sox
half of the second with terrific smash
to center. Ping Bodie, the broad
beamed eagle Of Telegraph Hill, San
Francisco, swooped down on it and
held 1t to single. A sacrifice and an
out put John Shano on third, but he
passed away there when Cicotte was
thrown out By Shawkey.
Roger peckinpaugh got the first hit
OH Cicotte in the third, with two out.
and he got to second when Pipp was
ncked on the shins. But Pratt struck
out. The united assassins of Murder
ers Row seemed to be having an off
day.
Jackson Hits in Pinch
Memo Leibold brought the first run
over for the Sox in the third He got
base on balls and reached third on a
sacrifice and an out. Shoeless Joseph
jackson, who has been convalescing of
late. sent him homo with single that
whizzed by Pipp into right field
Ruth was first up in the Yankee half
Of the fourth and hoisted one over the
steerago passengers in left field Joe
Jackson dove into the crowd and dis
appeared under rush Of hoofs. He
did not come out with the ball He
claimed that he caught it, but that one
OF the local guerrilas took it away
from him and sold it for a half dollar.
Without the evidence Connolly the
Ump allowed the claim and called Ruth
out.
This started a squawk from the en-
tire Yankee ball club and the customers
joined in. Connolly ordered everybody
cut OF the lot, including a captain Of
police who had come to the rescue Of
squawk raucously in sympathy With
Ruth for the rest of the game
In the Sox half of the fourth Shane
Collins led off with triple that eludcd
tho prehensible spaghetti hooks of
Ping Bodic, the Wonderful Wop, but
Collins was spearod at third when
Schalk tried to squeeze" him home
and lined to Ward for double.
The Yanks started to touch up Ci-
cotte in the fifth, but some miraculous
fielding on the part of jackson and
Felsch saved the veteran. Jackson
came running in on a paste by Ruel
and caught the pill while turning a
cartwheel. Felsch robbed Peckinpaugh
of a double with running hand
catch, spearing the ball. with finger
nail
The Sox got two more in their fifth
LelboId shot twlster at Ward, who
