came back against the White Sox to-
day and Babe Ruth came through with
his thirty eight home run for the sea
son, while young Aaron Ward drew out
his sixth. The Polish -Hibernian saliva
slinker, Mr.. John Picus Quinn. lasted
the entire session and got himself a
shatout. the final score being to 0
for the New York assassins.
The victory was a timely one. for
last night Colonel Tillnghast L'Hom-
medieu Huston, who recently Joined
the ranks, was found wandering on the
brink of Lake Michigan with his heart
full Of sorrow and his pockets full Of
lead sinkers. He denied that he was
contemplating leapng from any of the
docks, bat was warned not to plunge
into the lake and start tidal wave
which would cause great loss of life
and property on the American and
Canadian sides Of the water.
Lefty" Williams got most of the
by George Wilkinson. the long right
handler. Ruth's thirty eighth homer
was line drive into the right field
bleachers. 1t seemed to be favorably
received by the $4,000 customers who
visited Comiskey Park. It begins to
look as though this series would knock
all attendance records. outside of the
worlds series games, for several goals

Babe Also Gets Double
The SoX recalled Claude Williams in
tho fifth and sent in Eddie Murphy to
pinch hit, but Edward was thrown out
by Peck. The long Mr.. Wilkinson went
into the box in the sixth to do the rest
paugh greeted him with swat that
was only an inch or so foul. and the
Son started to warm up the remainder
Of the pitching staff.
Trouble accumulated for the long
Mr.. Wilkinson with the front end Of
Murderers' Row coming I'D. Peck
walked and Pipp singled to center.
Pratt hit into double play and Ruth
came up with Peck on third. The In
fant S"atigy poled long two -bagger
to. right and scored Peck.
In the sixth Shoeless Joseph Jackson
started what looked Like a premedi-
tsted assault upon Mr.. John Picus
Quinn. our eminent Polish Hibcrnian.
Mr.. Jackson smashed triple along the
right field line. The inning was then
enlivened by debate when "Happy'
Felsch appeared to swing on a third
one, but Umpire Nallin, for reasons
which only his own weird inscrutable
mind could figure. called it ball. The
squawking was interesting. but futile.
Felsch got his base on balls, but the
next two Sox passed away quietly.
Again Mr.. Quinn was saved.
Subsequent proceedings interested
the Sox very little. Byrd Lynn was
sent in to catch for the rest of the
afternoon. In the seventh Ping Bodie,
the Wonderful Wop, was called out on
strikes and squawked his way back to
the bench in classic Italian.
Ruth Out, Customers Leave
In the eighth, with two out, Derrill
Pratt cracked a two-bagger along the
left field line and set the scenery for
another slam by Ruth. With the count
three and two, the Infant Swatigy
swung and hoisted the pill high above

it on one knee. The Babe being
through for the day, the customers
started to sift out toward the Loop.
Sailing down the wind with all sails
set in the Sox half of the eighth the
good schooner yacht Ping Bodie har-
pooned what might have been a long
slam by Felsch. Ping was razzed by
the populace when he came to bat in
the ninth and looked depressed over it..
The sensitive soul of the PiZzola is
peculiarly susceptible to the raucous
raspberry.
In the home half Of the ninth John
Shano Collins led off with a single to
center and Risberg cracked one to the
same spot. Lynn slammed down to Pipp,
hitting the first baseman on the chin,
but Walter made the put-out. Strunk
was sent in to bat for Wilkinson and
was called out on strikes. Leibold
lobbed one to Pipp and ended it.
