with splash. They now rest in tn
Pitching, or, rather, the lack of
pitching, once more made the team that
used to look like a cinch for the pen
nant resemble load of junk. Mog-
ridge gave the Sox four runs and
four hits in the first inning, but he
was kept in after the Yanks had tied
ii up in the first and third until the
fourth, when he was plastered for a
couple of doubles and single. Then
it suddenly occurred to the massive
intellect or intellects that direct the
Yankee field strategy that it might be
we'll to take him out
Rip Collins went in and Rip did not
have any noticeable luck either They
got four runs from Rip in the seventh
with volley of base hits. Then in
went young Bob McGraw, who was
bombarded for five runs with the ac-
companying and petulant pop of the
base hits.
Customers Walk Out
For the first time this season the
customers started to walk out on the
Yanks without waiting to see if Ruth
might not get two home runs in q day.
There were over 10000 in the park
when the game started, but 10000 pail
bearers to the Yanks' pennant hopes
we're on their way elsewhere when
Ruth came up for the last time and
lifted one to John Shano Collins.
There is feeling that some sort of
q microbe is the matter with the sick
team Of the Polo Grounds. 1t started
with potentially the strongest machine
ir the American League, which means
the strongest machine in baseball, and
now look at the thing in the stretch.
Boy, page the gentlemanly junkman.
If this continues there will be some
heavy work for him to do.
The narrowing details will only pro-
long the great mental anguish that was
suffered by the anguished inmates Of
the Polo Grounds. The Sox, who seem
to have started to pick their banks to
deposit their worlds series dough al
ready, got busy in the first inning with
two out.
Weaver drove two-bagger along the
left field line, and Joe jackson got q
base on balls. Felsch scratched a hit
eff Erin Wards mitt and the pill rolled
into left, while Weaver scored and
shoeless Joseph cantered to third
John Shane Collins caromed a two bag
ger off the right field wall, scoring the
shoeless one and sending Felsch to
third. Risberg, the soulful Swede,
socked one to right and Felsch and
John Shane came home.
The Yanks got three runs out of six
hits in their half of the first, and one
of the hits was the forty-fourth homer
Of Babe Ruth. Peckinpaugh started it
by slamming little Dick Kerr, the puny
portsider, for a triple to left. Pipp
bounced one over Kerr's head for a
single, but, though Edward Trowbridge
Collins made a wild heave to first,
Peek rested right there at the bag.
Kerr Plastered Freely
With three and two on him the Babe
sent the forty-fourth home run of the
current season into the right field
stand, and the customers got their
moneys worth right then and there
that would knock the Sox right off the
line. Pratt beat an infeld hit to sec
ond, but Duffy Lewis hit into double
play. Bodie drove single to center.
and so did Ward, but Ruel forced the
wonderful wop at third. Kerr was
piastercd freely enough in this inning,
but the Yanks got nowhere in partic-
ular.
The Yanks tied the score in their
half of the third. Ruth got the con-
ventional base on balls and went to
second on a sacrifice by Pratt. Lewis
brought him home with a hit that near
ly knocked Weaver from the Polo
Grounds to Nalhalla.
The fourth inning illustrated to the
satisfaction of the strategists that it
was not propitious afternoon for G..
Mogridge to be in there. This con-
clusion was reached after double by
John Shane Collins, a single by Ris-
berg, the soulful Swede, and two
bagger by Ray Schalk had resulted in
one run with no outs and a bad spot
for the relief pitcher to step into. Rip
Collins was the victim selected for the
sacrifice.
The Swede scored on fly by Kerr,
and Strunk brought Schalk in with a
paste 10 center. This inning ended
when Strunk tried to come home on a
double steal and was nailed at the
dish.
The suffering of Rip Collins became
acute in the seventh. Eddie Collins
bounced q single over Rips head and
Weaver rolled one down to Pipp, reach
ing the bag but running out of line,
and raising raucous squawk when
called out. Jackson bounded one over
Pratt's shoulder. Hap Felsch cracked
one between short and third and Eddie
Collins scored. John Shane Collins
lifted one FOR a three-baggcr just over
Peckinpaugh's head, the ball rolling
away into left, and jackson and Felsch
scored. John Shane Tailed on Ris-
berg's out.
Bob McGraw was the martyr Sc
lected for the eighth inning, and more
sour things happened Strunk got a
base on balls. Edward Collins hit to
lest. Weaver doubled, scoriag Amos.
Jackson singled and crowded the cor
ners Eddie Collins dashed fer the
plate while McGraw meditated and
made it, the two behind him also ad-
vanclng one base. Hap Felsch doubled
to left and Weaver and jackson scored.
With John Shane Collins out, Schalk
singled to left and Felsch scored Kerr
went out to first base, and 5000 of the
customers went out to the elevated
station.
