But the Babe did some starring,
nevertheless Realizing that Miller
Higgins was short of pitchers since
the collision between Umpire Hide
brands mask and Robert the Colbert
Shawkey's head, Ruth volunteered to
step into the box and show how he used
to beat Walter Johnson when he was
poor but ambitious left-handed
pitcher. The Babe did very we'll in that
role. and the Senators might not have
scored Mt all on him had it not been for
an error by the usually perfect Peck
inpaugh. Babe went back to right
field in the fifth inning
The assault upon the pitching talent
of Mr. Clark Griffith was brutal in the
extreme. The first victim of the wild
rush of the Yankees was Left Erickson,
the blonde Viking who mussed up the
fanks on a previous trip to the Polo
Grounds. Left was the sea-sjckest
Viking ever on public exhibition when
the stampede started in the third in
nlng and continued into the fourth until
they dug Left out and sent in young
Mr.. Courtney for the sacrifice.
Runs by Half Dozens
There were six runs scored by the
Yankees in the third on five hits, ac-
companed by a general flop in the
Senatorial morale. and there were six
Ihore IN the fourth to an accompani-
ment of seven hits. Everybody in tho
Yankee lineup that didn't take a paste
at Left the Red took one or two pastes
at Courtney. The Yanks ran bases
until they were dizzy.
1t was alleged, supposedly bv Nick
Altrock, that this was part of the
strategy of Clark Griffith, who is not
called the Old Fox for nothing. Seeing
the game lost Griffith decided to let
the Yankees run bases until they were
SO dizzy and fatigued that they would not

double-header which is set for o-day.
The grandstands to a large extent

Of those produced by prohibition even
IN It's most acute stages, as the
Yankees pounded and pounded until
their bats seemed to drop limp from
sheer WEAKNESS.
Ping Quite Satisfied
Ruth didn't set a home run. but
Ping Bodie and Roger Peckinpaugh did.

The petulant pop Of the base hit
started in earnest in the third after
the Senators had hung up a two-run
lead in the first inning. Judge got
base on balls and stole second, going
to third on Rce's out. He scored when
Pechinpaugh booted Roth's grounder.

When the Yanks started in the third
they just crashed through like tank

Hannah led the parade by smashing
one through Milan. Wick got base on
balls and Meusel hit, scoring Hannah.
PIpp scored Wick. .-Bodie achieved his
home run at this very opportune time
and cleared the bases. The Yanks just
naturally batted their way around
again to Truck Hannah, who struck out
through sheer terror Of having to
make that long trip around the bases
again.
Ruth Spikes Judge
The fourth inning was quite as grue-
some from Senatorial point of view.
Sammy Wick started it off again by
beating a bunt. Roger Peckinpaugh
hit past Roth and when Bobby fell
down trying to nail it Peckinpaugh had
time to stretch it for complete home
run. Left Eriskson left the scene at
this point and Courtney kissed himself
goodby and entered the box.
