pitchers were warming up, ana 1T WAS
lust a little short of clearing the wall.
When up to bat previously Ruth struck
out, thereby Turing Russell to his
doom. The paste brought two men
home, making it five runs each, and
the crowds in the grandstands got
reckless with summer millinery. To
express their profound JOY they
knocked the crowns out of their
straw kellys and heaved them into the
field.
Carl Mays started the game, but the
Yanks started some trouble behind him
early in the game by booting few,
and these troubles were intensified
later on when Witt dropped q homer
into the right field bleachers with
two on. The veteran and official spit
baller, Mr.. John Pincus Quinn, pitched
the eighth after the game was won.
Young Aaron Ward drove home
run into the left field bleachers,
plastered a double against the right
field wall, executed a double play while
skating on his left ear and otherwise
made himself decidedly useful and
ornamental.
Lank Bob Meusel in right field not
only participated with much gusto
when there was hitting to be done, but
he astonished the inmates of the stands
by the length and the accuracy Of his
throws from deep right. In the third
inning tank Bob caught fly by Foster
and made a rife-shot throw to Peckin-
paugh, doubling Menosky, who started
from second as the fall Topped into
Meusel's digits.

ball is hit to right field it will mean

gents on bases.
Things looked murky at the start of
the eighth. Colonel Tillinghast L'Hom-
medieu Huston sat with Napoleonic
and melancholy majesty with green
kelly jammed down on his intellectual
bean, instead of the conventional straw

when asked why he invited heat pros
tration. Colonel Jacob Rupert mad
fed the park and was hiding in
corner of the clubhouse with the score
to . in favor of the Sox. And the
customer had become moody, for
Ruth had not hit a home run or any
thing else all afternoon.
1t looked as though Miller Higgins
had tossed up the sponge, for he
started the inning by putting in Young
Mr. Glech to bat for Mays and Mr..
Gleich blinked when the third strike
went by him. Just as all seemed lost
but the gate receipts, to the extent CT
= mere $4,000 or so, the old reliable
ROGER Reckinpaugh singled along the
left field line and took second when
Mopoclr1y do wild return.
Assassins Get Busy
That seemed TO open the gate for all
the assassins of Murderers' Row and
Aaron Ward cracked double that
bounded against the left field fence,
and Peckinpaugh scored. Pipp lifted
a Texas Lacquer over second and the
cube was sent to Babe Ruth, the In
FAINT Swatigy. The crowd was wide
awake now for the punch in the melo-
drama and it came as it comes in the
movies.
Allan Russell, who had famed the
Babe on the trip before, got chesty
end decided to pitch to him. He did.
The Infant met one full on the seam
and the bail started to travel to the
light field corner in the face of the
breeze. 1t caromed to the fence before
Hooper could get it and by the time
it reached the infeld the score was
tied and the Infant Swatigy had ar
rived at third base.
Right here the Red Sox decided that
as Nemesis Mr.. Allan Russell was
an onion and they looked about for
somebody to replace him, but there
was nobody warmed up. They held Q
post mortem in the infeld until Um-

he did.
