Babe Ruth, the fence buster, Yankees
smuggling power, ETC., attributed to the
mauling prowess of the New York
saw to-day convinced them that the
fanks still possess considerable Of
punch. 1t was the first shut-out de-
feat for the local team this season.
The fifth inning was nightmare
for the Senatorial bunch. The Yankees
we're leading by 2 to when the rash
of, hits, wild pitches, errors and mis-
plays broke out as suddenly as a
plague, and before the realization of
it all had come to those in the park
the Yanks had put over fourteen runs
Wick Starts Merry-go- Round
Sammy Wick, who played in left field
to-day, began the fireworks in the fifth
by reaching first on a bad throw by
Elietbe. Wally Pipp smacked one on
the upper lip for two bases, putting
Wick on third Erickson had his mind
all made up as to what to do whenever
Ruth came along in situation as this
aud he did it promptly and efficaciously
by throwing four balls beyond the
reach of the club of the home run star.
.Meusel flied to Milan, Pick scoring
after the catch. Pingus Bodie, who has
been playing like one inspired through
this and other SERIES came through
with solid blow to left that scored
Pipp. Milan cut loose with throw
to the plate in an effort to cut down
Pipp, but the heave was wild and Ruth
also Tailed. Bodie taking third. Roth
played his part in the comedy of errors
by dropping Pratts fy, Bodie going
home. Reul crashed the ball to the
right center for two bases, sending
Pratt to third
That was enough for Left the Viking
and he was given the air. Snyder re-
placed Erickson. Mays greeted him
with an od-fashioned single. scoring
Pratt and Reul and taking second on
the throw to the plate. Chick Fewster
got in the way of a wild throw and
der continued to aim for the umpire
or some body other than the batter and
his next pitch carromed off the grand
stand, Mays and Fewster advancing a
base.
Wick stood motionless while Snyder
pitched them all around his anatomy
and was passed. Pipp simply held his
club in hand while Snyder was going
through another spasm Of wildness and
also drew pass, forcing in a run.
Finally Snyder got one over to Ruth,
snd the big fellow plastered it on
iine to right, scoring Fewster and Wick
and putting Pipp on third.
.s. Pitchers Come and Go
Manager Griffith then came to the
conclusion that it wasn't Snyder's day,
either. and sent Courtney to the
mound Picnich replacing Charity be-
Hind the bat Courtney's first pitch
Was greeted with merry ride from
Mcusel's bat that scored Pipp and put
Ruth on third. Harris kicked in with
a boo y. Bodies grounder, which al
lowed Run TO tally and Meusel 20
take third.
'~Pratt's hard drive to right took a
bad bound over Roth's head and went
through hole in the fence for home
run, three more runs scoring. Ruel
hit in front of the plate and was
thrown out Rice muffed Mays's fly,
bot Fewster ended the inning by strk
ing out.
Carl Mays meantime was enjoying
one of the best pitching days he has
had this season. In fact it was the
former Bostonian's niftiest perform
ance on the mound this year. He al
lowed only three hits.
