with the biggest collection of cash {
pastime there, 9,130, by the adding
The customers came despite the
announcement that Babe Ruth, who
took second money in a hand to hand
encounter with a Nyack mosquito,
would not be home running. The
chances are that he will not be sink
ing baseballs valued at 1926 net into
the Harlem River for more than
week But still the customers came
and Colonel Rupert, who was watch
ing the gates, turned away about
10000, decidedly more in sorrow than
in anger.
The attraction may have been Bodie
Day. Or it may have been just the
Yanks, Who at one time could not draw
q crowd big enough to put up a one
man top.
Riveters Scorn Passes
Bodie Day was celebrated by a mil
lionaire riveters brass band from Hog
Island. The members of this harmon
ious set riveted through the great war
in the ranks with the Wonderful Wop.
The members of the band scorned
passes or Annie Oakleys of any sort.
They chartered cluster of boxes be-
hind third base, nothing being too good
for the riveters The instruments were
all gold plated and the mouthpiece OF
the Z fat cornet was platinum, en-
crusted with diamonds
Before the game Ping Bodie was
called to the plate to receive a shower
of gifts from the wealthy ship yards
workers. Among the gifts were gold
watch, solid silver spaghetti fork
with q platinum attachment for ravl-
oas, and a pair of boxing gloves. The
latter gift was in memory of Pings
challenge to McMullin. One of the
gloves was stuffed with rivets of gold.
Ping got one hit that did not figure
particularly in the pastime, but other
wise he did little but add dignity and
tone to the afternoon. Only an over
cast sky prevented the ordinary GUS
toners from being blinded by the scin-
tilations of the diamonds in rlveters'
row.
Bob the Cob Shawkey showed up
pale and wan, having been up most of
poisoning. and the bugs feared the
worst. But only once during the game
aid it seem that the Sox had a chance
TO push even one run across. That was
in the eighth, when Schalk drove two
Dagger to left with two out. Amos
Strunk slashed a wicked one that
looked as though it would score the
run, but Derrill Pratt made wonder
ful single handed stop Of it and threw
him out
Ptomaine poisoning seems to agree
with Sha%key's arm and the owners
are offering-merely as a suggestion
to have him inoculated with ptomaine
germs any time he is ready. Red Faber
was in good form, but the Yanks had
shaken off the istlessness that has
been making them look like hunks OF
Junk for Some time past and Red was
doomed.
Yarks Start in Fourth
The Yankees started in the fourth
inning. Pipp got a base on balls.
Duffy Lewis rolled q sacrifice down
along the first base line. Ping Bodie,
the Wonderful Wop, came up to show
the riveters how he used to put them
over all the fences in the Pacific Coast
League There was a flashing OF dia-
monds as the riveters waved their SILK
handkerchiefs. Ping took mlghty
swine, but the bat broke in two and he
was thrown out by Edward Trowbridge
Collins.
If the bat hadn't broke the ball
would have gone to the Bronx was
the verdict of the rivcters.
Aaron Ward drove one that bounded
over second base into center field and
Pratt came home. Rnel drove nut TO
right and later Ward stole second, but
Robert the Colbert struck out
In the second inning Pecklnpaugh
drew base on balls and went TO sec
ond on a sacrifice that Pipp dumped IN
front of the plate. Lark Bob Meusei,
who is understanding the Babe during
his conyalescencc from the duel with
the MOSQUITO, slammed q at to eaver
and beat il to the bag, PeckinpauGh
pulling up at third. Pratt cut one at
bounded out of reach of Weaver and
Peckinpaueh came home.
In the fifth Pipp got base on baiis
and Long Bob Meusel tried to deposit
a nll in the center field bleachcrs, put
it was Just short enough OF geSung
there to be feided. Pratt lifted one TO
center. Red Faber made a peg 10 eaten
Pjpp off the bag and threw almost IN
anon the cash customers, Pipp taking
third while the SoX were scurrylnG
after the ball Lewis dashed hard one
TO Risberg and The soulful Swcde man
aged to stoo it. but not in time 10 eaten
Lewis at the bag, and Pipp scored.
In the sixth Shoeless Joseph jackson
hit q Texas Lacquer TO IlSHV' with l"
out and one on, but the shoeless gent
tried to stretch it into two bases, not
realizing that Lark Bob Meuscl has one
of the meanest whips in the game.
Lank Roo shot the bail to Shawkey'
who made the pass to Pratt, and Jack
son was nailed as he tried to skate the
last few yards on his ear.
The faith in the Yanks seems TO have
revived despite the hard luck of Ruth.
The Gates had to be closed an hour pc
fore the game yesterday, and the rlV-
eters. who came a little late, ha4 to-
blast their way through with their
gold plated horns, even though they
had their tickets right in their hooks.
There Will be other big days at the
Polo Grounds and other thrilling pitch
ers' duIls, but there never VIII be III
evidence there again 50 much wealth
and class as there was on Ping Rodle
day The Wonderful WoD says this
himsels-
