Count Is Tied.
The spirit Of the Nationals was
not broken, however, and they came
right back in the fifth with three,
tying tn. five hostile runs. Shaw
was given the gate and Calvo batted
for him. rapping one through Pipp's
long legs.
Shanks then sent one against Meu-
sells underpinning which bounced
off to the stands, Calvo going to
third and Howard to second on the
alleged boot. Peckinpaugh messed
up Milan's rap and Calvo scored.

came through with the hit which
furnished Milan a ticket home.
with two out, Shanks singled in
the sixth and scored when Milan
hit a long triple past Ruth. but was
nipped at the plate when he thought

run that was destined to win. Two

the eighth, putting the Yanks with
in one run of tied count.
There was one out at the time.
Did this worry young Snyder? The
answer is no! He got in more trou-
bic In that round, but he pulled out.
Pratt doubled and Lewis was safe on
Ellerbe's bad throw to first, after
Bodic had skied 10 Milan. 1t might
have been called a crucial moment
when Snyder forced Suel to sky -
Shanks.
But the real test of Snyder's nerve
came in the ninth. There were two
out and Peck and Pipp rested on
the bags as the result of hits. Babe
Ruth came striding to the plate.
Snyder Immediately called n confer
ence of his intimate friends in the
infield, and decided that the home
run king was through home rum
ming. as far as he was concerned.
He issued four wide ones and Ruth
went to first heaping maledictions
upon Bills head.
Dell Pratt came striding up with
vengeance in his eye and swore to
make Bill wish he had let Babe
swat one. He leaned against the
ball and Milan camped under 1t in
deep left. Curtain. Exeunt allies.
