tice and will be out for an indefnit
The Yanks got themselves six-rur
lead when Jack Quinn exploded with a
loud detonation and by the time Quinn
was being shoveled out of the lot in
sections the Apathetics had tied the
score. The game started as though
the Yankees were off for the season
while the Apathetics, as they say
looked so natural. 1t began to appear
as though there would be 10000 wit
nesses to the disgrace of the Yanks.
Lieutenant General Billiard. who
stood like a stone wall at the Marine
and who was once member of the LIST
Division, that never yielded foot, took
it on the lam after the seventh and
left Colonies Gullion and Weigel to
cover his retreat Above the sky
arched blue as one of the special writ
ers noted, but in the dug-out where
Colonies Rupert and Huston sat shud-
dering the gobs of gloom were too
thick to be cut with an axe.
Strunk Fails in Pinch
The owners of the million dollar ball
club held to their seats listening for
the noise that would come when the
Yanks hit the bottom of the bottom
less pit. The Apathetics had the bases
filled with one out in their half of the
eighth, but Amos Strunk lifted an easy
fly and the agony was over for the
time.
Derrill Pratt finally rescued the
Yanks with clean hit to left with the
bases filled and brought in two runs.
The Yanks won out, but. as some gen
eral remarked at some battle or other,
Another such victory and we will get
The raspberry"
Babe Ruth, the most expensive ath
lete in the national pastime, strained
the broadcast back in the business
swinging at wide one in practice. He
went in for one inning to exhibit him
self and made three lame swings at
the ball, after which he was assisted
from the field, Truck Hannah playing
the part of Red Cross nurse.
The opening ceremonies were simple
and military. Lieutenant General Bull

;on. wearing his semi-mlitary iron
boiler, marched in the rear. The band
started the national anthem and the
procession had to halt in midfield. Gen
cral Billiard, who is an all around ath
.ate, made perfect peg to Muddy"
, Ruel and the thing was on.
Experts Expect Real Fatality
Fortunately, it ended with only the
injury to Ruth Experts were expect
ing a real fatality with young Gleich,
who succeeded the expensive slugger at
center as the victim. 1t seemed highly
probable that fly ball would fall upon
his head during the afternoon.
In the first inning the Yanks started
as though they would fatten the Apa-
thetics right into the soft grass. With
one out Peckinpaugh drew a base on
balls, and scored on two-bagger by
Pipp. Ruth limped up to the plate and
look three swings, grunting painfully
before he was taken out of the lot.
Duffy Lewis hit to center and scored
Pipp. Meusel sent a double to left and
got to third when Galloway juggled the
throwin, Lewis scoring Pratt was
safe on Dugan's error, and Meusel
scored
In the second inning the Yanks got
another when Wick and Peckinpaugh
hit Naylor in turn. and Pipp got long
hit off Hasty. In the third they tailed
another one, when Ruel made hit and
balls. scoring on Vick's hit to right.
That made a six-run lead, and the
Yankee fans settled back to enjoy the
edifying spectacle of their favorite ball
team massacring the defenseless Apa-
thetics. Mr.. Cornelius McGillicuddy
wrapped in his somber cerements, set
tied back to look upon scene to which
he has been accustomed for many years
Apathetics Wake Up
Then Jack Quinn started to go and
the Apathetics started to come as

Athletics are now wearing had hoppee
