as much banging and shooting. whal-
Ing, walloplng, attacks and counter
attacks, ups and downs in the whole
red and rOwdy European war than
waxed and waged on Coogan's Bluff
yesterday afternoon. And the mud
was just as bad as any Flanders
Field. Twice the Polo Grounds was
drenched. Players skidded on their
ears or Into one another and the hos
pital squad was carrying out pitchers
every mlnule--or something like that.
But the Anish. Ah-the finishl
Fine! Great!

flercest old asebal scrap that ever
was.
Don't think kthat the Babes was the
only homer. There were others in
this Nesuviu OF screeching, flying
balls. Sisler, Tobin and Williams
whanged them forth for the Browns,
and who do Du think took club in
hand and stole he Babes stun in the
fourth-stepped right up before the
Babe and cracked the bulb into the
Great Ones favo1te territory? Wallie

been wavery an weak this many
day! But so heidi and jammed in
three runs aheadpf him!
Sisters homer cine in the first. But
it was fiuke. God old Ping Bodie
was on the trail oiSisler's smash and
got well under it ,hen he slipped 10
the mire of the fiei. Ping sat down
very suddenly and he earth shook.
Allan SOthorOn tarted out like
trolley car going own hill with a
broken brake. He nd about as much
control. 1t was gand walkfest for
the Yanks in the firt inning. Ward,
Ruth, Lewis and bdie all got an

Ruth and Lewis were scored, but a
third out came. whenPing and Del
tried a double steal and3odie was run

the mud off Carl and sent himo the
club house and Thormahlen toS his
place. SiSler grounded to Pee and
Ged was nailed at third. But bob
