john Picus Quinn Suppressed the
Apathetic batting to five.shitssEin sthe
first game, although Cornelius McGl-
licuddy had shifted his lineup with
intent to deceive 1t was Quinn's
eighth consecutive victory. Though
the Yanks piled up twelve hits, they
we're of very conservative brand.
Ruth slowed down to double and
single, while Meusel turned in just two
small singles. "a-''
Trip" Collins put kink in the
Yankee winning streak by tossing off
the second game. rip" has been
showing amazing "stuff" after relieving
other pitchers, and he was given
chance to start this one, his first of
the season. Robert the Colbert Shaw
key tried to save him after the seventh,
but it was too late. :
The Yanks got their first run in the
fourth inning, when Naylor took
peep at Babe Ruth, shuddered convul-
sively and passed him. Pratt laid
down a sacrifice. Bodie struck out
earnestly and Lewis drove a single to
left that scored Ruth.
The Athletics came right back and
tied the score in the fifth. Witt nicked
Quinn for two-bagger to left. With
Burrus out, Welsh poled a long hit to
Quinn Ends Suspense
The suspense was busted in the
seventh by Mr.. John Picus Quinn him
self. Ole Jack singled to right. Peck
inpaugh pasted one at Galloway and
the ball gaalopede away from him, Quinn
getting all the way to third. Meusel
hoisted long fly and Quinn scored.
In the eighth Ruth started to make
the victory official. He drove out
double to right and took third on
Pratt's sacrifice. Ping Bodie brought
him home with single.
The melodrama of the first game
was furnished by Roger Peckinpaugh.
Strunk shot one to deep short and it
sizzled. Peckinpaugh got the ball and
without checking his stride made
quick pass to. .Pipp and got Strunk. 1t
looked impossible, but he made it. Q
started Grip" Collins against Lanky
Harris, the leaning tower of Franklin
Square, Philadelphia. The human lean
ing tower is so tall that he can peek
over the stadium and watch the traf-
fic on the Harlem River as he works
without even stretching his neck.
Rip got himself a hit in the third
strikes at the time, but that meant
nothing to Rip. The ball came over
and he just plunked it into left field.
The conventions do not appeal to Rip.
He's little prairie flower, and he's
wild, though his pitching is not.
Ruth Spikes Catcher
Things began to happen to the lean
ing, tower in the fourth. Pipp led off
with healthy two-bagger to center.
Ruth fooled; the Apathetic ;fieldars by,
slamming. a single through second,
scoring Pipp.
Ruth ruined one of the. Apathetic
catchers when he scored. Pratt laid
down bunt, which so shocked the Apa-
thetic infield that Ruth rounded third
and started home. The Babe hurled
himself through the dirt, upsettine
Myatt, who dropped the ball. Pratt was
nailed at second. The spiking by Babe
forced Wyatt from the game.
Bodie hoisted an easy to Dugan:.
that is. it would have been an out if
Dugan had held the ball, but he didn't.
Bodie. who always runs them out got
al! the way to second on the error.
Lewis's out sent him to third. Muddy
Ruel brought him home with a smash
to left field.
In the seventh inning Ruth furnished
the fielding thrill. Burrus drove one to
right, and it looked like triple. The
Babe scooted back. and nailed it oyer
