New-York tribune., 1920-08-09

Our Mr.. Rip was wilder than the gent
sapling of Flivvertown- on theLakes
was steady and confident. Murderers'
Row never looked so peaceful, and the
only time that Babe Ruth got one out
of the inficld was when he hoisted one
to Cobb. Ehmke Of late seems to have
the bleatng goats of the Yanks cor
rallied before he starts.
The outfit leaves tonight for Cleve
land, where they play one of those
highly "croocial" series with the In
dians. Right now the Yanks seem to
be in slump, and if the slump is not
shaken they might arrive at the Polo
Grounds in third place. Md-August is
no time for slumber in this league.
Colonel Ripper, who, with Commodore
Bill Fleischmann, New York indoor
yacht club, suffered great mental an
gush here to-day, will accompany the
team.
$4,000 Customers Present
There were over $4,000 owners Of
Fords in the story stands and
parked around the outfeld when the
pastime started. On his first trip to
the bat Ruth slapped languid one to
| Young and was thrown out. In the
| home half Of the first inning hits by
Young and Cobb annoyed our young
Mr.. Rip Collins, but he stopped Veach
and Heilman.
Pratt opened the second for the
Yanks with single and got as far as
third, when STANCE aimed at second and
threw into the populace of Flivvertown-
on-theLakes. Pipp and Bodie could not
drive him home, however. Colonel Til
linghast L'Hommedieu Huston, the
famous international outlaw, arrived at
this stage, furtively looking about for
members of the Royal Northwest Cana
dian Dismounted Police, who have sworn
to deliver him to justice in Windsor,
Canada.
In the third inning Peckinpaugh
singled to center and the Babe came up
for his second try. This time the in
ter, and Cobb captured it without even
having to move. Cobb opened the ses-
sion for the home guard with a double
along the left field line into the over
flow population.
Grip" Collins Wild
Veach laid down bunt, and Collins
might have had Cobb trapped between
second and third, but he elected to
throw to first, and Cobb took third
Then Rip shot one over the heart of
the dish and Lightning Bill Dineen
called it a ball. Whereupon Rip threw
the next one away and Cobb scored on
the wild pitch. Heilman hoisted a
Texas Lacquer to center field and stole
second. Shorten struck out but our
young Mr. Rip Collins went wild again,
throwing another into the stands and
letting Heilman go to third. Pinelli,
who came from the same district as
Ping Bodie, but who is less wonderful
than our Wonderful Wop, Signor Piz-
zola, cracked one to Collins and was
thrown out.
In the fourth inning Mr. Young, Of
the Tigers, took a gross advantage of
Mr.. Bode, our Wonderful Wop, and
trapped him with the hidden ball trick.
This is considered as inhospitable as
selling the Brooklyn Bridge to trust
ing stranger. The deception was prac-
ticed with the aid of Pinelli, who lured
Ping into the trap. Bodie singled to
center; Ruel raped one to Young, who
passed the ball to Pinell, but the less
wonderful wop dropped it and both
Umpire Owens while Young craftily
concealed the ball
Spaghetti Hero Tempted
When the tumult died Pinelli started
to engage Bodie in conversation. 81
swell sphagetti, Ping" he whispered.
"Where?" asked Ping eagerly as he
bent over to catch the name. AS he
did so Young swooped over and tagged
him off the bag. Umpire Owens was
taking a siesta at the time, but finally
awakened to the realization that Ping
Bodie, the speculator in gold bricks,
had been nailed by the moss backed
hidden ball trick.
In the sixth inning, with two out,
Ruth got base on balls after fatten-
ing one of the pills in high foul.
The Babe made a dash for second, but
Murderers' Row was doing very little
numbering. Lefty ODoul, who has
been trying to get his name into the
public prints, got himself little pub
licity at this point by having himself
evicted from the lot by Umpire Owens.
1t looked as though the Tigers might
J jam another through in their half
when Jones got base on balls. Cobb
laid down bunt and dashed for the
bag, but Wards throw beat him. Both
Veach and Heilman rolled out to Pipp.
Bodie Depressed
Ping Bodie, depressed by the decep-
tion that had been practiced upon him,
came up in the eighth and lined lightly
to Young. The merriment and the
sparkle had gone from the Wonderful
Wop. Muddy Ruel made wild swing
at the third one. Rip Collins very Ian
guidly swung out on the third one. He
seemed to- have lost interest in the
game for the afternoon.
Long Howard Ehmke, first up for the
Tigers, retained his interest decidedly
and opened the home section of the
inning with two -bagger into the
crowd at center field. Young sent him
to third with a sacrifice. Collins then
socked Jones in the back of the neck
with pitched ball with two strikes
called on him. Cobb hoisted one
straight up into the mitts of Roger
Peckinpaugh. Veach caught straight
one and sent it to the edge Of the
crowd at right field, but Ruth got under
it and Ehmke passed away peacefully
at third.
Lank Bob Meusel was hauled out of
dry dock to pinch hit for Ward in the
ninth and struck out with considerable
! vehemence. After fouling off two
Peckinpaugh let a good one 20 by him
Ruth poled one down to Young and
was thrown out.
