much more like buttermilk-and pale
buttermilk at that-before the frenzied
sixth inning ended.
This sixth inning was whole game
in itself. A dozen Yankee batters faced
Williams and Lowdermilk in the one
frame, compiling seven runs on as
many clean hits, couple of passes, a
couple of errors, stolen base and a
wild pitch. But the sixth was only q

Williams Soundly Thumped
Before he bumped head on into Muir
derors Row Williams had turned in six
straight victories for the cause of the
Chicago champions, accounting for
more than half his teams 1920 victories
to date. But the higher they climb the
harder they fall, if they slip.
1t will be long day before Williams
suffers such humiliation again. With

braced and struck out Meusel and Ruth
In the second Lefty" was in hot water
again. Lewis singled and Pratt sacri-

tripped over the third sack and didn't
try to score. though Ping got second on
the throw-in. A balk scored Lewis and
put Bodie on third. Hannah's single
scored Ping. Thormahlen sacrificed
Ward beat a hit to Weaver On an
attempted double steal Ward was
trapped, but he got back to first when
Hannah dashed safely home. Meusel
also hit to Weaver, but Pipp whitfield.
Ruth hit his home run into the right

home rule. The ball passed over the
fence in fair territory, but curving

like hot coal. 1t occasioned a great
argument, which Gleason and his scrap
py band lost. Lewis followed with a
single and scored on Pratt's Texas
League double TO right.
Then came the sixth. Hannah sin
lied TO left and Shawkey to center.
We'd also singled to center, scoring
Hannah, and took second on the throw
to the plate. Mcusel hit to left, scor-
Jag Shawkey, and took second on the
toss home. Gleason derrlcked Will

Ward dashed for the plate, scoring
when the pitcher threw widely. MeuseI
stole third. Pipp walked. Ruth hit
one so high to Weaver that the ball
came down ice-coated. Lowdermilk
threw out Lewis, Pipp taking second.
Scores on Wild Pitch
A wild pitch scored Meusel and put
Pipp on third. Pratt walked Bodie
singled to right and Pratt took third
when Jackson fumbled. Hannah sin

ting Bodie on third. Shawkey singled
70 right, scoring Bodie and putting
key at second, McMullin to Eddie
Collins.
Meusel opened the seventh with a
triple to left off Payne. He scored
on Ruth's single to center. And the
Yankees called that a day. They had
also scored three times in the second
inning.

eight runs mighty cheaply. In the sec
