We'll zee split the apple tcith the
White SoT as zee did the ddU before
But " It hondnt been for boob tCind-
up in the Ucrv ninth innino Of the
frSt game the Breezy Burg Outft
'could ncUcr hare got so much as a
chunk Of the core
But for an untlmely pass by Sa-
Iva John Quinn and a CHASTITY error
by Wallie Pipp WE stood to bang
out two fat triumphs instead Of one
lean victory as the result of the days
endeavor.
But all the time our hearts were
taking consolation from the score
board which told in the late after
noon how the Boston Beanies had
overcome a seven run lead achieved
by the Indians in the first three in
nings OF the game and fought the
league leaders to a standstill OF 70 I
in the ninth. But just as was leav-
ing the press box the tragic news
cracked across the wires that the
lndlans-bast 'em!-had swoggled
across with victory in the eleventh,
scoring twice TO the Beanies' ONCE,
ending the game at to s. Coises!
When 1 think Of the ridiculous loss
OF that first game and its possible
vital result on the pennant chase, /
can get only small comfort out of
the fact that Babe Ruth crashed
forth his thirty-second homer, in this
same battle. Thought II certainly was
a magnificent ran. II thrilled and
sent $4,000 fans half mad with de-
light. or homers il was one Of the
greatest ever swattcd.
II capped the roof Of the right
grand stand, hurting fully fifty feet
above the structure before it disap-
peared to tumble into the tall grass OF
MCLaughlin's park adjoining the Polo
Grounds. II was second only to the
longest, highest home-run ever batted
at the Polo Grounds. And this was also
by the Babe on a Sunday some weeks
ago. That time the ball scaled the
roof Of the grand stand nv fully loo
feet, and took It's drop 100 and more
feet beyond where yesterdays hit fell
Ble yesterdays spectators were un-
questionably witnesses to one Of the
giant wallopS in the record OF the
game. Nobody was on base when the
Babe pasted Little Dick Kerr for the
big homer yeste rday, so the Monarch
OF the Mace with his wrestler's should.
crs and light legs Of a dancer trotted
the bags alone.
But to-day comes the big duel.
Yanks and Indians meet. II will be
fast and fiery base ball. The heart of
every player will beat at highest ten
sion. Every trained muscle, trained
eye, every brain trained in baseball
skill and strategy will be pushed 10
the utmost of their responsiveness. The
wits and warinCss Of Majah Higgins
and Commandment Iris Speaker are
sharpened to keen edge to meet the
emergencies TO arise in the contests,
For It must be recognized the forth
coming battles between Yanks and
Indians are crucial That intangible
but wholly important factor, morale
is involved. The team that tops in
this series viii face the future OF tho
,e-don with a new flush of confidence,
agr aysivencSS and aplomb likely Ia
carry 1t far in the battle for complete
supremacy of the league.
Gee! Amt | all stirred up? Sure

But to get back to my moan about
losing that first game yesterday. Th'
score was to 3 against the SoN az
they opened up the ninth. Faber haC

Felsch He is most handily thrown
out by Peck to Pip. Up comes J
Collins. Del Pratt cops his groundel
and slips It neatly TO Wallie. Two
out. An, says he, we did neat worn
for the first game-now to grub th'
second.
But Risberg singled. Saliva JohI
