New-York tribune., 1920-05-23

N'SeiiiS oioiiSO pSotS.
The general, being an artilleryman;
got few thrills out of the long hits.
He admired the work Of the Yankees
because they were usually hitting them
where somebody was, while the Browns
hit them where somebody wasn't. The
object of the artillery fire is to get
them where somebody is, so that the
fsnks were working all right from the
artillery point of view, but not so we'll
from baseball point of view. The
kit of Ping Bodie, which went right
through for triple, was an artillery
faux pas.
The delegation was met at the gate
by Charlie McManus. who learned his
French in Harlem. "Toot sweet,
gents" said Charles, Hospitality. Then
Kid Mcfarland, who is doing Internal
greeting official by removing his hat
and saying, Bon frontage, general"
After which, Colonel Jacob Rupert
brought tears OF sympathy from the
delegation by mentioning the common
sorrow, prohibition.
Two Runs Suffice
Thormahlen, who worked for eight
innings against the Browns, pitched a
nice game. He wavered just q bit in
the second inning, and it was enough
for the Browns to jam through the two
runs. and the two runs were plenty.
1t was Baby Doll Jacobson who shat
tered all the defenses in the second
inning. Williams started the rout with
r drive to right field. Then the Baby
Doll, touted by George Sisler, as the
certain rival of Babe Ruth, poled one
OF his long drives to left cen,er. The
ball went gamboling over the green,
hotly pursued by Bodie and Lewis, but
by the time IL was run to corner
Williams had scored and the Baby Doll
was decorating third.
With SEVERED out the Browns pro-
ceeded to squeeze the Baby Doll across.
Gerber laid down bunt to Thormahlen.
Young Herbert went after it eagerly.
If he had not experienced some diff
Guilty because of an alteration be-
tween his two feet he might have nailed
the Baby Doll at the plate. But his
feet became so seriously embroiled that
he did not even get Gerber at first, and
so the second and winning run was
scored.
From that time on it looked more
than once as though the Yanks might
crash through, particularly when Ping
Bodie started an inning with triple.
But Ping passed away at third when
saliva on the ball against the 4anks,
mixed a little venom with 1t and got
rid of the next three batters.
Threaten in Last Gasp
The Yanks came within whisker of
winning in the ninth and baking the
revenge of Urban Shocker. Pipp led
off with drive to left. Wick rolled
one down to Gerber, who made a wild
heave to Sisler, and Pipp reached third
while Vick got to first safely. Lewis
was called out by Dinnen and the call
ing reused something of squawk.
Then came Derrill Pratt, who hit
started to come in, then he began to
drop back. The ball seemed to be yards
above his head, and it looked like q
cinch for home run as it should have
rolled against the back wall But just
as the ball seemed past Williams he
made flying leap backward and
speared it with one hand. Pipp scored,
but Wick hn something of chase to
get back to first before the return.
There was some fine and fancy field
ing on the part of the Yanks all
some stops and throws as only Peckin-
paugh can make them Sammy Wick
robbed Sisler of a certain triple when
he dashed back against the right field
fence and speared line drive by the
Browns first baseman and all-rourd
man.
Wallie Pipp, who invariably hits into
right field, crossed everybody yester-
day by plastering one into left field
for a wo-bagger in the SIXTH but Wal
lie remained there as Shocker disposed
Of the next two men. Baby Doll Jacob
son was the heavy artillery of the
Browns, with double and a triple.
Hannah Displays Agility
One Of the startling features of the
game was the agility displayed by
Truck Hannah, who has bee, accused
OF being too deliberate when in motion.
Gerber was caught between third and
the home plate by Truck. who scorned
did Heinie, the Zim chasing Gerber.
Only Truck did not miss his man.
Truck nailed Gerber with the ball long
before he could get back.
The entire st. Louis team demanded
the scalp of Umpire Dinneen in the
ninth, when Williams was nailed at the
Mate trying to land on the rush of a
double steal. Everybody in the Brown
lineup had something to say. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether or not the
loose conversation will cost the Browns
anything.
babe Ruth the pale and interesting
Yankee invalid, will be out at the Polo
Grounds in uniform this afternoon
rSa Babe is anxious to bust just one
nnt Il is not probable that he will be
allowed to play full game. However
If the Yankees are in tight place al
any time during the engagement they
may wheel him up to the plate to take
one crack at it, The Babe is entirely
recovered from housemaid's knee snG
is, now suffering only from cholera in.
