run during the final game with the
Cievelands, a smash into the upper
right field stands, but it was an error
by the versatile Babe, substituting for
Pipp at first base, that creased the
ways for the Yanks. 1t put Chapman
on the bag, and George Mogridgc hit
Wood amidships with the ball, making
two on bases when Gardner hois.ad the
into the home brew of joy that the
Colonies Rupert and Huston had been
quaffing since the previous day.
While there were 10000 customers
within the walls when the game start
ed, Inspector Chalane declares that
there were at least that many turned
away after the gates had been hauled
to and rfveted. They could not park
another customer in the place. All
records for attendance were broken
into small fragments.
Bagby Checks "Murderers"
The Indians put in Bagby to hold
Murderers' Row. All of their other
pitchers had been more or less seri-
the season. The two runs scored
against Bagby were the homer by Ruth
and homer by Lark Bob Meusel,
whose brief spell of slumber cost the
game.
Our Mr.. John Picus Quinn, the Po-
lish- Hibernian licensed splitter Of the
Yanks, was withdrawn in the eighth
when Speaker led off with single.
Miller Higgins thought he heard Jack
cracking in the humidity, and George
Mogrdge was hurried in tosfnish the
game and hold the Indians safe if he
could
The Indians got one over in the first
With two out Speaker cracked out a
two-base hit and went to third when
one of Quinn's moist deliveries went
wild. Muddy Ruel made quick recov
cry, but wild throw to third and
Speaker scored.
1t was not an suspicious opening for
team that had just hoisted itself into
first place, but the score was tied in
the second. The multitude gave Babe
Ruth a greeting that echoed from
Coogan's Bluff to the far side of the
Harlem, but the Infant Swatigy lobbed
ore down toward first and was put out
Then Lark Bob Meusel cracked one
that spattered in among the Storage
passengers in the left field bleachers
and trotted all the way around the
bases.
Thirty-fourth Homer for Ruth
In the fourth inning the act which
most of the customers had come to see
was staged. With one out Babe Ruth
faced Bagby and got one that was
within reach The multitude was up
bowling when the ball hit the bat and
watched it's fight. The pill hit the
fourth fagpole on top of the right field
bleachers and bounded back into the
park. 1t was the thirty-fourth home
run, and Ruth is now fairly we'll
pointed on his way to fifty in season.
After that Bagby seemed to be a
tough proposition for the Yanks. In
stead of shaking his nerve the home
run smashes seemed to merely steady
him down to his work. Wambsganss
started the tie in the fifth with a
three-base smash He scored on sac
riice fly by O'Neill and the game was
begun all over again.
1t might have ended in the seventh
but for the secret ambition of Ping
Bodie, the Wonderful Wop, to make
Ty Cobb look slow by comparison.
Bodie got base on balls and went to
second on sacrifice by Ward. Hosting
his balloon jib, his spinnaker and all
the sail that he could carry the Won
derful Wop started down the wind to
third base. 1t would have been a
spectacular dash if he had made it,
but he did not. He was nailed and
the chance of a run in this inning was
lost.
Umpire Chill was the recipient of
pop bottles and verbal marks of disap-
prevail in the eighth inning, when he
called Walter Pipp out after he seemed
to have beaten an infeld hit with some
thing to spare. The pop bottles came
so fast. and furiously that for a mo-
ment Umpire Chill thought he YVES in
St. Louis.
Poor Decision Setback
The decision halted the Yanks again.
Babe Ruth was purposely walked in
this inning, and if anybody thinks that
the customers are not for the rule de-
signed to prevent intentional passing
he should have been there to hear.
Pipp protested so long and vehemently
over the decision of Chill that he was
chased out of the lot and Babe Ruth
was called in to play first, while Duffy
Lewis took up his old post in left field
Speaker started trouble for the
Yanks in the Cleveland half of the
ninth. when he raped one of the moist
offerings of Quinn for single to cen
ter. The Polish Hibernian, after being
overworked a while back, has been
cracking somewhat recently. Miller
Higgins thought he heard Quinn pre-
pairing to detonate, and George Mog-
ridge, the left handed, went in.
The, detonation came in the eleventh,
where the Yanks started to give after
winning three in a row from the
Indians and hopping into first place
for one happy day. Burns, batting
for Jameson, was thrown out by Peck
inpaugh. Then Ruth's error put Chap
man on the bag. Mogridge went wild
and hit Wood Then came the crack
by Gardner that found Meusel dream
ing, and the Yanks went Topping into
second place.
In the second half of the eleventh
the Babe tried to club his way through
and lead a drive but would hoist one
Yankees up again. He cracked one
that went drifting out toward the GEN.
terfield wall. But Speaker, the hit
destroyer, was after it as soon as il
left the bat. 1t was long run but
Tristram made it and speared the ball
as it seemed to spatter against the
centerfield wall. 1t was close to 9
homer into the hitherto impenetrable
center field stands.
The score:
